%2 The Romance of the Aeroplane &
i romance of science cer
tainly seems to have
touched its climax in the
recent exploits of the ' French
aviators, Vedrines, Bonnier, Dau
court and Marc Pourpe, who, aft
er flying in vast swoops® across
murope from Paris to Constanii
nople, and passing over ihe Gold
en Horn, Asia Minor, Palestine
and the delta of the Nile, wound
up their modern Arabian Nights
Dream by soaring —great birds of
mystery—ahove the crumbling
tops of the Pyramids and around
the head of the Sphinx. The
statues of Memnon, the halls of
Karnak, and the hills where the
Pharaohs slept, until science dug
them out, have all echoed the
whir o 7 the aeroplane and been
shacowed by its overpassing
wings. 2
This surpasses all the wonder
stories collectéd by Herodotus,
and all the myths invented about
the age of the demigods, It brings
Antiquity and Modernity face to
face as they have never before
been made to stand.
A Marvelous Feat,
What is older than the ‘Pyra
mmids, which were already ancient
“Where the River Shannon Flows”
when the Father of History saw
them? What is newer than the
aeroplane, which, when we of this
generation were middie-aged, was
still hidden, unguessed, in the
pocket of the twentieth century?
What. distils the mouldy atmos
phere of the Past like the mys
terious, unanswering Sphinx?
What breathes the restless spirit
of the nervous, wide-awuke Pres
ent like the Flying Machine,
which has no riddle but that of
its own tuccess? ¢
The bringing of these two typi
cal creations of man together is
one of the most dramatic epi
sodes in history.
And then to think of an aero
plane that has flown through the
air all the way from modern
Paris, alighting like a tired eaglp
for a moment's rest, in a field
near the Mount of Olives and in
sight of ancient Jerusalem!
Or an a'erupllne v hich has
flown over the mountains of Asia
Minor, and made photographs in
passing of the historic lands be

Xerxes, and Alexander, and Xeno-

phon and Sylla, and Lucullus and
(‘rassus, and Mark Antony strug
gled and fought.
When Bonnier was flying over
Asia Minor, his engineer (for two
human beings were borne under
the wings of that wonderful bird)
pointed his camera backward,
over the long tail and the rudder
of the speeding monoplane, and
took a photograph which has few
rivals. It shows the endless ex
panse of barren mountains and
rocky, tangled ravines and
gorges, with here and there a
snowy peak rising out of the con
fusion, over -which they were
traveling without any place to
alight, and where their safety de
pended upon their speed as well
as upon the faithfulness of their
little motor, Many a Kking and
conqueror had looked up out of
that scene in the past 4,000 years,
but no man had ever looked down
upon it, as they were doing,
It is difficult not to envy theso
men for the sensations that they
experience when they bring the
newest things of invention into
the presence of the oldest scenes
of history. They appreciate it;
they feel the thrill of their un
paralleled situation, as witness
the words of Mare Pourpe after
he had flown round and over the
pyramids: “In itself this raid is
nothing; it borrows its impor
tance from the time and the
place.”
In the Future.
But these flights, which will
soon have been extended to cover
Africa and Asia, and the oceans
themselves, are bringing on with
increasing swiftness the unifica
tion of the world, which so many
people think the most desirable of
all things. But will it seem so de
sirable after it has been achieved?®
When 1l men of all races dress
alike, live alike, travel : ike and
think allke, this planet is likely to
be a dreary, monotonous place,
where nobody ran feel any par
ticular intercst, because there will
be nothing for anybody to won
der at,
Then, if history survives so
long, people will read with the
liveliest emotion of the good old
interesting times, when the won
der-struck natives of Amenia
prostrated themselves before the
aviator Daucourt, invoking the
name of Allah at the sight of the
“man-bird,” who had descended
upon them out of the sky with his
~ “lowd-hissing swan."
