THE GREAT INVENTOR INTERESTED IN AERIAL NAvI-
CATION.
Thomas z. Edison Is experimenting on an elec-
tricai flying machine. To a reporter he said: "a
man, whose name can't recall now, came here
about two or three " 1eks ago. He said ne had
been sent over from the Spanish government to
study the science Of aerial navigation. He said
they wanted a machine so constructed that it
would carry an electric motor, camera &C, TO a
considerable height by means of wings or fans pro-
PEELED by the motor. 1t would be operated from
covered wagon, in which an officer would be

and fancy. II am able to construct the kind OF a
machine they want shall have practically solved
the long-InOoted question OF the possibility OF
aerial navigation, for the main point In this Ques

matter or propelling the machine through the air
and steering 1t Is comparatively simple affair.
SO many people have been studying the question,
however, that am not in the least confident OF

upon which to calculate the lifting power OF fans

pulling power OF birds soon by tying a string to
their feet, fastening the other end to spring reg

Almost all persons when they think Of Rrlal navf-

height. But why do this! Why not go along the
roads at an elevation OF about ten feet? or course
when necessary we could rise higher, but, as
rule, a few feet above the ground would answer

great speed which could be obtained"

Now that think 1t over have met no one OF

the talk leads up to the crown prince, and it is
easy to see whence this great enthusiasm comes.
"He is second Frederick the Great" Is the usual
phrase. When came here two months ago, the
crown prince was not an idol by any means PeO-
pie spoke OF his escapades, OF MS withered hand

so cOntemptuOuS in his manner toward his
mother and so Indifferent 10 his unfortunate
father. He rode about attending TO his military
duties without attracting any particular atten-
tion. Then his fame began suddenly TO grow, and
the people ran after him. The growth OF their en-
