Not a Far Look Ahead iKJXG pretty far ahead, is it; Uon't be so Jj i .ire- about that. Louis Bleriot, who flew across t.\ British Channel in his monoplane, -says, '.'Fifty years from now aeroplanes will be as common as aut unobOes are to-day. These aeroplanes willtravel Kie hundred miles an hour, carrying passengers such distances as from I'ari-> to Herlin." Perhaps^ though, you think that Hleriot is an overcatbasiastic dreamer carried away by the glory of the first cross-Channel flight. Listen then to what Alexander Graham Hell says. You may have more respect for his opinion, considering his lifelong reputation as a conservative scientist, and considering, too, that thirty-five years ago he invented the telephone that you use twenty times a day.

Regulating the Traffic A LRKADY a league has been formed in France for \u25a0*^ the regulation of aeroplane tr.ithe. giving as the reason for its existence, "A<roplanes will troy the crops in the fields on which they alight. They will terrify the birds. A> roplanes willdestroy everything they encounter, windows, telegraph wires, and chimneys. A< roplanes will cause a great increase in crime. With their aid burglars will enter houses at through the upper windows, secure the valuani^ht bles, and leave as they came." While the French papers are treating this new league as a joke, itis none the less certain that before many years rules for aerial traffic willhave to be devised. Allkinds of plans are forming for air travel. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0. An a company of sightseeing dirigibles. A group of capitalists has its plans made for an air line between New York and Boston. Count Zeppelin lias already been figuring <>n airship lities to carry passengers over Germany! asserting that as a commercial undertaking it is perfectly practical. Zeppelin's Remarkable Forecast ASSUME," says Count Zeppelin, "for instance. I the foundation of airship communication between Berlin an ! Copenhagen. The capital needed for one airship, a main st ttion at Berlin, .n.i a landing station at Copenhagen, would be about two hundred and fiftythousand dollars. The revenue! allowing for one hundred flights to Copenhagen and back Berlin each year Ithe time of the trip one-half that of the present system), with an average of twentytive travelers each paying twelve dollars and fifty cents, would amount to sixty-two thousand five hundred dollars a year. For ins irance. depreci itiou, and cost ol running, the outlay would he thi. ty-seveii thousand five hundred. This would le.ive a profit of twenty-five thousand dollars," or ten percent. on the pit d. "Better still. Ican imagine a line from Stuttgart to Lucerne, passing over the monuments of terin my' former greatness, the ruins of the llohenstaufen and llapshurg imperial setts, and the newly restored rlohenzollern burg, with its proud towers rising in the sky, the symbol of Germany's majestic renaissance and glorious future over the song famous, poetical Liechtenstein, and thence into Nature's miracle chamber, Switzerland, with its lakes and mountains. Such a service at a low estimation ought to be doubly profitable, as it would need only a main station at Stuttgart (as at Lucerne the lake itself could be used for descent), with intermediate stations, perhaps, on the lakes of Constance and Zurich. For the international public, which wishes to travel mluxury, no fares would be too high. "In specially chosen unfavorable conditions my airship would cover at least eleven hundred and thirty miles in four days, and still have a considerable reserve of fuel. 1 could, therefore, even in the worst time of year, travel from Berlin to St. Petersburg, .Moscow, or Constantinople, in the case of the last two cities, in approximately four days. With average conditions the journey would take only forty hours, and under favorable conditions only thirty hours, or much less than the best railroad time. My newest airship will be able to cover the same distance in from fifty five to twenty-two hours, according to wind."

The lines or furrows on the face, iiue to their habitual contraction, willbe rendered deep and more conspicuous. Ihe expression of the countenance, such as a frown, ofttimes reveals the thoughts am! intentions more truly than do woris The tree expression by outward signs of 11l emotion intensities it. while the repression as far as possible will tend to soften and subdue it. These results follow partly from the intimate relation that exists between almost all the emotions and their outward manifestation, and partly from the direct intluer.ee of exertion on the heart am! brain. Claude Bernard, a great physiologist, claims that the least excitement i<i the nerves reacts on the heart; that when the heart is affected, itreacts on the brain; and the state of the brain again reacts, through the pneumogastric nerve, on the heart. This goes to prove that under any excitement or emotion there will be much mutual action am! reaction between these* the two most important organs of the body How careful, then, one should be of his thoughts and imagination, am! not allow them to tend toward evil or disease! The face evidently sympathizes with the thoughts; for ore who constantly thinks of illicit things, or lives an immoral life.soon begets a sensuous eye and an impudent face A criminal usually has the hard, repulsive lines of sin written on his countenance High and lofty thoughts endow the face with a halo of joy and peace.
