WHAT HOLDS AN AIRPLANE IN THE AIR. We need only to recall hone a youngster will run with a kite dur- ing a lull in the breeze to realize that the .lifting power of the air is the same whether the air is moving relative to a stationary object or the object is moving relative to com- paratively still air. As tre airplane foves rapidly for- ward, pulled by its propeller, the air pushes up against the lower side of •,re slightly up-bilted airplane wings. L gineers tell us, however, that this rah -up or lift accounts for but one - Laird of the lifting power that holds an airplane in flight. The explana- tion of the other two-thirds is not quite so simple. The forward or leading edge of the wing thickened, and the whole wing is curved n such a way as to tend to deflect the onrushing wind sharply upward, At the speed with Which the plane hurtles through the air, the wind stream cannot bend down again quickly enough to touch the upper surface of the wing; and, as a consequence, a partial vacuum is created above the wing, Naw, at the earth's surface we are at the bottom of an enormous sea of air, this air or atmosphere exerts a pressure at sea level of about 15 pounds. per square inch. This atmos- pheric pree'sure is equal in all didec- tions, pressing upward as well as dpwnwards and aidewasd. This may be demonstrated by laying a sheet et paper over a tumbler that is full of water and then inverting the tum- bler carefully, •holdling the .paper in piece with your hand. The water ail molt spill out even atter the hand under the paper is removed, because the atmospheric pressure against the paper holds the water prfsoner. As soon as the pressure above the wing is decreased, as by the parltial v,aouum that is formed by the deflected air current, the atmos- pheric pressure below the wing tries to push the wing up into the space left by the vacuum, and this is thought to account for two-thirds of the lifting power that. holds the air plane_aloflt, ... v , . ,r101R",.>,r,.&•.% r1 ' y;.. ref ..�: 4, .. reAit3 AGO pus pts %seal la manor thamnelvee he nrd' by .hooting [rote Yhn .ho¢em tape, /f roe !ilei that to -deo yoe *that prah,0il7 laevo to appear before a covInealattlon la lonamity, 540W-A.DAYS the 6wlaeq mea n5ea carr Wnsal.Adar ►ea lire w.atr Edison Honored At Port Huron Citizens of the border city of Pt.

A Slum On a day that I spent in the city, I entered the pover•ty7stricken• slurps Where filth and dirt were every- where, and a visitor scarcely tomes, The shingles were blown all over the yards, the roofs were shatter- ed and worn; From the doors peeped faces of little children, dirty, thin and forlorn. The boards on the homes' were waived with rain, some verandas• unsteadily stood, The curtains flew frown the broken panes, everyone showed the want of food, Refuse and garbage were strewn in the yard; caul and glass on the street; This flltr and dint everywhere, was an. awful sight to meet, Quarelling, swearing in: some or 'these homes, showed how their life was spent. From aunt-ise to sunset, lazily about they went, Some striving in vale to be clean and to work others fai1tng ev'n tO try, Results in the classes of cities, the lowest and. very high. —Jean Quinisey, Mitchell.

In others the letter or parcel has to he returned. In wrapping parcels 91 sthbuld• be re- meonbered that they will be subjecct to mucr handling and therefor should be sturdily wrapped and bound. The following rule 'will prevent improper addaes'sing; rank, name, regimenit regimental number and unit of regiment.
