AERIAL NAVIGATION. Horace W'alpole's Prophecy That May Yet Be Fulfilled. In the year 1TS4 the problem of hu man flight was occupying a prominent place in the public mind, as it is today. The Frenchman Jean Pierre Blanchard had just made his first ascent from Paris in a balloon filled witL hydrogen. He took with him wing and a mddr, apparently proposing tr fly, but found them useless. Late Blanchard crossed the channel in hi aerial machine. Horace Walpole com ments on the doings of the "r.irgo nauts," as he calls them. "You see,' he writes, "the alrgonauts have passethe Rubicon. By their own accoun they were exactly birds. They aev. through the air, perched ou the top oi a tree; some passengers climbed ur and took them in their nest." Afte seeing a balloon descending Walpoh amuses himself by meditating on th, future of what be carls "airjronation." He sees the art of j"iiir perfected an deposing that of navigation.

WHISKERS, HATS AND CANES. Hew Theae Accessories Have Figured In Man's Little Vanitiss. An honest history of the beard would lay open an undercurrent of petty vanity in many of the world's greatest figures. Henry VIII., for instance, shaved until he learned that Francis I. France wore a beard, and then he laid aside his razors and strops for ever. Even the gentle Sir Thomas More had a beard which was his joy and his pride. When he was on the 6caffold and the headsman was about to lift the fatal ax, Sir Thomas baited him, saying, "Wait till I put aside my beard, for that has committed so treason." Again there was the celebrated bishop of Clermont, who was appointed to that office shortly after the council of Trent and who precipitately fled his bishopric one Easter Sunday morning; rather than suffer the loss of his beard. What faults of feature In the good bishop, a retreating Jaw, a fat neck, blubber lips or what not, might have been revealed through the agency of the scissors and. razor we know not, but that the concealment of such facial flaws has always been to a greater or less degree the motive for the growth of beards is certain. In Mexico and other Spanish countries the hat has for centuries been the object of man's vanity. The custom found its origin in the days when the Hapsburg power was supreme. One of the most cherished privileges that the old grandees enjoyed was that of wearing their hats In the presence of royalty. The absolute power of their monarch left them. little else to do but enter Into rivalry with one another in regard to the splendor of their bead coverings. The gay conceit spread rapidly throughout the Spanish dominions, and even today characteristic sugar loaf hats may be found in Mexico for sale at the astounding price of from 500 to S 1,000 for a single hat. When our soldiers invaded Cuba and Porto Rico In 1898, the Spanish style struck their fancy, and most of those who did not come back to the United States in hospital ships returned with their sedate campaign hats transformed into contraptions with high pointed crowns after the Spanish fashion. From the time when man wandered through the pathless forests bearing on his shoulders a murderous bludgeon with which to strike down his enemies the cane has never entirely gone out of fashion. The modern fop would feel as much a sea without It as did the beau of whom Steele's Tatler spoke In 1709, when it said that the cane had "become as Indispensable as any other of . his limbs." and that, with "the knocking of It upon his shoe, leaning' one leg upon it or whistling upon It with his mouth, he does not know how he should be good company without It It may be flattering to the vanity of such a orfe to know that the grotesque knobs and arabesque heads that he delights in displaying on bis walking stick are lineal descendants of the carved baton that the fools and jesters of the middle ages wielded.
