GEMS AND GOLD TRAM DY AIR Fortunes in Diamonds Now Shipped by Plane. B.y Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—Transportation of diamonds by airplane, eliminating the hazards of long overland journeys and speeding delivery of the precious stones to world markets, is becoming accepted practice in South Africa, according to the Johannesburg correspondent of Engineering and Mining Journal, who reports that the government of the Union of South Africa is a leader in adopting the innovation. Thousands of dollars’ worth of diamonds are carried weekly by airplanes from the government diggings at Alexander Bay, Namaqualand, to Cape Town, approximately 300 miles. Transportation of gold from Rhodesian mines by air is also under way, the correspondent reports, and in the Belgian Congo, airplane service is being established to handle the production of the Kilo-Mqto gold fields. So general is the use of airplanes becoming that work has begun on a airport covering 400 acres near Johannesburg to accommodate them. The government Chamber of Mines has obtained a share in the control of the airport.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Aviation 50-CENT TOY GAVE WRIGHTS STARTTO FAME Tiny Helicopter Spurred Imagination, Led to Plane Building. Five dimes started the Wright brothers on the road that led to the invention of the airplane! When Wilbur was 11 and Orville 7 years old, their father, a minister, went away on a church trip. “Boughten” gifts were somewhat rare in that frugal home at Dayton, O. Yet he liked to bring home a few knick-knacks for the family. On this trip an odd toy caught his eye in the city store. When he returned home, the father walked into the living room of the Hawthorn street house with an air mysterious, his hands covering some object. Youngsters Are Amazed “Now watch!” he said to the boys. “Oh-h-h-h!” gasped the awestricken youngsters as the father opened his hands and a shiny thing leaped into the air. It rose whirling and smote the ceiling, fluttered a moment as If undecided upon its next course, and then sank slowly to the floor. “It’s a bat!” shrieked the ecstatic lads. y No,” said the father, “it is not alive. It is a machine. You see it has two little fans that whirl about because of the pull of this twisted rubber band. This is a scientific toy. I won’t ask you boys to spell its name. It is called a helicopter.” Given Gruelling Test For the next few days, the flying bat was put through its places with- - the house and out in the back yard. The boys were at its morning, noon and night. They subjected the motive power to a cruel strain, writes John R McMahon, beginning the story of Orville and Wilbur Wright, the fathers of flight, in the January Popular Science Monthly. They racked and tore the fragile device with eager fingers, loudly warning each other against violence. "I declare,” remarked a neighboi, “those Wright boys are perfect terrors! Their lather bought them vti expensive toy. I hear it cost 50 cents. And in no time at all they tore it all to pieces.” Destiny Smiles on Them Meanwhile, Wilbur and Orville had blissful dreams around the experience never to be effaced from memory. The beautiful marvel: The fans go round and round and push the air. They go so fast you can’t see them. Faster than a bat’s wings. Oh, if I could fly like that! Destiny smiled tenderly on the sleeping lads
