The Gossamer Albatross, a 33kilogram (72pound) aircraft with a polythenecovered fuselage and a wingspan of 30 meter (100 feet ), the same as that of a DC9 jet airliner, was driven mostly by conventional bicycle ponents. Allen sat on a bicycle saddle inside the transparent fuselage and pedaled a bicycle crank and chainwheel that turned a special urethane chain geared through two more chainwheels to a propeller mounted aft of the wing. Shortly after dawn that June day, the Albatross rolled down a harbored runway in Folkstone, England. Pedaling hard, Allen got the aircraft aloft and churned his way toward France. After almost three hours of pedaling to produce a constant output of about horsepower , he landed on a beach near Calais, the first person to fly a humanpowered craft across the Channel. Allen and an American team led by Dr. McCready were awarded the 39。t get it back. How did you write your advertisement? asked one of the listeners, a merchant. Here it is, said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street. Now, said the merchant, I often advertise, and find that it pays me well.

Russianborn Max Weber grew up in New York, studied art there, and then went back to Europe to familiarize himself with contemporary artistic developments. On returning to the United States, Weber worked in the new styles he had discovered in Paris and soon bee recognized as a pioneer of American abstract painting. An example of his work at the National Gallery of Art in Washington . is a 1915 painting entitled Rush Hour, New York. Using abstract, geometrical forms, Weber has expressed the movement, noise, and vibrancy of the great metropolis. The picture blends elements of two European styles: cubism, which shows objects from a number of different angles of vision at the same time, and futurism, which portrays speed and objects in motion. Forceful lines and spiky forms throughout the position convey the energy and vitality to the city. Weber expresses the city39。t be a man. The technical aspects or applications of knowledge are equally necessary for man and of the greatest importance, because they also contributing to defining him as man and permit him to pursue a life increasingly more truly human. But even while enjoying the results of technical progress, he must defend the primacy and autonomy of pure knowledge. Knowledge sought directly for its practical applications will have immediate and foreseeable success, but not the kind of important result whose revolutionary scope is in large part unforeseen, except by the imagination of the Utopians. Let me recall a wellknown example. If the Greek mathematicians had not applied themselves to the investigation of conic sections zealously and without the least suspicion that it might someday be useful, it would not have been possible centuries later to navigate far from shore. The first men to study the nature of electricity could not imagine that their experiments, carried on because of mere intellectual curiosity, would eventually lead to modern electrical technology without which we can scarcely conceive of contemporary life. Pure knowledge is valuable for its own sake, because
