ALBERT SPYUT “Al” is the class clown and this title fits him to perfection. He made a great hit in the senior play. A1 is fond of drawing and he utilizes this ability to make interesting headings for the various depart- ments of the “Tiger” ; he is also business manager of our pa: er. BEATRICE TUFTS “Bea” is rather a haughty appearing young lady but is really very likeable. From all accounts she is fond of cooking and will perhaps one day make a good housekeeper. She should, for it is said that business women are always more efficient in house- keeping than others. ROSELTHA WITHAM “Rose” is a quiet, innocent appearing child but ap- pearances are deceiving. Upon investigation we find that Rose is an imp in disguise. She is very viva- cious and not nearly so childish as she seems to be. Her title of class bluffer is very appropriate. ALTHEA WHITTIER Althea deserted us in the middle of the year to go to work in the National Bank but we shall have her with us commencement week. She is a very pleasant companion and we have missed her in classes but we are glad that she is making good on the job. 16

THE DEVELOPMENT OF AERO- NAUTICS. With the swift passage of time, new inventions and new sciences unfailingly creep into our lives, some perhaps un- seen and unnoticed for a time but grad- ually the best and truest fight their way to the front. Among the foremost of our new sciences is that of aeronautics. It was in the middle of the eighteenth century that men began to experiment with the science of fight in the air. Perhaps be- cause of their close observation of na- tural life it was first proposed that wings be strapped to the flyer. This idea soon proved itself impracticable, for it was found that man vas not powerful enough to propel himself through space. We are all familiar with the legendary failure of Darius Green. Then, probably through the results gained by the experiments of Henry Cavendish in 1776, proving hydrogen gas seven times lighter than air : and of Tiberius Cavallo in using this new gas to raise soap bubbles, Joseph and Stephen Montgolfier, managers of the paper works at Annonay, France, utiliz- ing the theory of the suspension of the clouds and the ascent of smoke, suc- ceeded in raising a balloon filled with rarefied air, generated by the burning of moist straw, wool, and rags below the mouth of the gas container. This feat set Paris in an uproar and the Mont- golfiers were allowed to demonstrate the capability of their invention before the King of France in court at Ver- sailles, in September, 1783. Strangely enough the brothers did not have the confidence in their invention to make the ascent themselves but sent up sheep and ducks in the carriage of the balloon. Soon after this ascension Professor J. A. Charles, a teacher of National Philosophy in Paris, rose from Champs de Mars in a hydrogen gas balloon at a rate of 3,000 feet in two minutes and fell in three quarters of a hour some fifteen miles from Paris. There is a somewhat interesting story connected with the journey of Professor Charles’s balloon. Of course it was sent up with- out a human occupant; so when the craft landed in the field of a peasant, immediately the whole neighborhood was aroused and flocked to see this strange monster of another world, as they thought. They did not quite dare a ' proach the thing, however, and for some hours stood at a distance to ob- serve it. Then one of the men, a little bolder than the rest, crept up to the bal- loon and fired at the gas bag with his shot gun. The bag began to collapse and the crowd rushed at it with their pitchforks and scythes. The remains of the balloon were tied to a horse and dragged over the surrounding country. After that experience the King issued an order to prevent such a thing’s hap- pening again and had the nature of the strange craft explained to the people. These balloons of the Montgolfiers and Charles represent two principles of elevating power: one, the rarefication of common air by heat; and the other, the use of a gas lighter than air which would be almost continously buoyant. The fire balloons of the Montgolfiers gave way to the gas type in time and coal gas was introduced for although its bouyancy was not as great as hy- drogen yet it was far cheaper to gener- ate. An attempt to combine these two types in order to obtain the power of in- creasing or diminishing the weight of the apparatus at will without unusual expenditure of gas was made by Pilatre de Rosier. On June 15, 1785, he at-
