Another rIying maehise Failure

self to the invention of fly ing machines
and to solving the problem Of perpetual
motion.
Wadsworth Tower is located on the
summit of Taicott Mountain and Is one
hundred feet high. A keeper has
charge of it in the Summer, but in tho
Winter IT is entirely deserted. On FRI
day Phelps made his way to the top of
the tower, carrying with him his latest
invention in the way of flying ma.
chine. 1t consisted Of a strong but
light gas generator, a combination OF
cog wheels and pulleys and two light
pitch turbine wheels. both arranged at
q slight angle to the vertical. The
whole coptrivance, including two trian.
gular wings, weighed about sixty
pounds.
After getting his machine in condi
ton to start, the old man seated him
self In q loop Of rope suspended under
the generator and swung himself of
from the top of the tower. The machine
and its passenger moved slowly away
for q few moments and then began to
drop. Phelps found his generator losing
power with every second, and while
attempting to discover the cause, by
mistake opened the discharge valve,
and rapidly descended to the ground.
His hip and several ribs were broken
and he lay unconscious for some time.
ii is erOsDs 6nally attracted the atten-
tiOn Of come passers by, and he was
taken TO his home, where he lies in q
critical condition.
