It is a thing to be admired, a thing to be dreaded, and men there and outaide will wish that the aeroplane wai at ita perfection; that they might contemplate that city from above, and go to and from it without taking the chance of a quick death on the streets.

When , we estimate what forty-eight states will do when ths present populstion doubles snd the product! more than double, then try to think what New York will be then, we grow dizzy.
