• I hold that in the flight of the soaring birds (the vultures, the eagles, and other birds which fly without flapping) ascension is produced by the skillful use of the force of the wind, and the steering, in any direction, is the result of skillful manoeuvres; so that by a moderate wind a man can, with an aeroplane, un- provided with any motor whatever, rise up into the air and direct himself at will, even against the wind itself.

• To the possible enquiry as to the probable character of a successful flying machine, the writer would answer that in his judgment two types of such machines may eventually be evolved: one, which may be termed the soaring type, and which will carry but a single operator, and another, likely to be developed somewhat later, which may be termed the journeying type, to carry several passengers, and to be provided with a motor.

• First dentistry was painless.
  Then bicycles were chainless,
  Carriages were horseless,
  And many laws enforceless.
  Next cookery was fireless,
  Telegraphy was wireless,
  Cigars were nicotineless,
  And coffee caffeineless.
  Soon oranges were seedless,
  The putting green was weedless,
  The college boy was hatless,
  The proper diet fatless.
  New motor roads are dustless,
  The latest steel is rustless,
  Our tennis courts are sodless,
  Our new religion--godless.
