FLYING MACHINE'S HALF MTLE.
Professor Langley VIII Next Send Up n
Crew OF Six.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May R.-The
big flying machine constructed by Pro-
fessor Langley, of the Smithsonian IN
stitution. has made q successful halt-
mile flight. He has been quietly con-
Quoting his momentous experiment, but
bits Of his secret arc already cropping
out. Last wednesday ne ard his assist
ants took their model down tie Potomac
10 the quiet bay. where they have hither-
10 conducted their experiments. Tie ma
chine was given two trials At the first
II few 1000 feet and was I'm the air
one and one-half minutes; at the second
1t flew over half a mile.
The model 50 about four feet long. with
a six-foot wing expansion. Professor
Langley believes he is now nearly ready
10 build a practical flying machine large
enough TO carry a crew OF three, and
TO make an extended fight.
II IS estimated that the construction
should not be undertaken with less than
a fund Of $4,000. Professor Alexander
Graham Bell Il IS understood has been
supplying a large share OF the money FOR
the experimental work IN which not less
than $4,000 has already been expended.
At the close Of opeH-air work last year
Professor Langley's machine had mode n
flight of about 800 feet. but It was easily
overturned by cross-air currents. This
difficulty has been so nearly overcome by
automatic appliances that IL IS reported
the machine IS practically perfected. II
Professor Langley should inform Congress
that he had solved the problem and want
cd money TO build a machine he might
get IT,.
