The first attempts In windy weather taught
me that suitable steering surfaces would
be needed to enable me to keep my course

in the construction led to a kind OF ap-

such that II resembles in all it's parts

lated to stand pull and pressure, in order
TO combine the greatest strength with
the least weight.
An important improvement was to ar
range the apparatus for folding All Of
my recent machines are so arranged that
they can be taken through a door two me-
tres high. The unfolding and putting to-
gethcr or the flying implements takes about
two minutes.
A. HAND GRIP ONLY NECESSARY.
A single grip of the hands is sufficient
to attach the apparatus safely to the
body, and one gets out of the apparatus
just as quickly on landing In case OF
storm the flying sail is folGed up IN half
a minute and can be laid anywhere II
one should not care to fold the apparatus

from a certain starting point, will come
forth from the contest as conqueror.
This fact will necessarily lead to the
production of more aud more improved
flying apparatus. In a short time We
shall have Improvements of which today
we have not the faintest idea.
The foundation for such a develop
ment exists already; it ouly needs more
thorough carrying out to gain perfection.
The greater the number is of such per-
sons who have the furthering of flying
and the perrecting of the flying appara-
tus ut heart, the quicker we shall sue

as many physically and technically we'll

these affairs, and that an apparatus be
constructed which is as convenient and
as cheap as possible.

sisted in the first place in different ar
rangements for changing the shape OF

The upper surface is separated from The

ters of the breadth OF the lower surface,
and it has no disturbing influence what
ever, but creates only a verticaly acting

with such an apparatus one always cuta

But when the issue comes before the
people, what will be the result? Why
should not free silver carry Illinois,
Ohio and Indiana? The great majority
of the people in those States are agri-
culturists and industrialists. These
classes for the most part believe that
the people have a right to say what
metals they will receive and use as a
medium Of exchange. They know that
it is admitted by all intelligent OBJ
servers that more money is needed to
stimulate industry and to give employ
ment to idle labor. They believe that
silver fills the bill. They see in it the
money of the people for the reason
that, if restored to its rightful func-
tion, it will expand the currency, and
in SO doing increase the opportunities
and expand the activities of labor

of the future, knowing as they do that

Fixing the Price of Gold.

A somewhat eccentric gold paper
published in Chicago declares the
statement ridiculous that Great Britain
fixes the value of gold by enacting that
so many pounds, shillings and pence
shall be paid for an ounce of gold.
The effect of this enactment is that
any owner of gold bullion may send
his gold to London and get tAe statute
price for it If this is not fixing the
value of gold it would be interesting to
know how that value is determined.
When great commercial nation offers
to give certain amount of coin which
is good for its face the world over, for
a certain amount of gold, the value of
the gold is fixed for a period as long
