A TALE OF A RING.

Very Eorelock.


Very Foralock.
At . o'clock last Saturday evening
Algernon stood Mt the front door of the
house of tho girl he loved, but to whom
he dared not say the word.
For long time he had been sparring
for points, but to the bashful these
things do not appear in clear light,
even though they clearly exist.
He had rung the bell once, twice,
thrice, but there had been no answer
Nervously ho stretched forth his hand
to ring again when the door was opened
by the one being i'll all the world who
made his life worth living.
"Why, Algernon," she exclaimed,
"if had thought it was you 1 wouldn' t
have kept you standing out in the cold
so long"
He thought of how ho had been stand
ing ont in tho cold and wondered when
the courage would como to him to go in
out of it.
"You know" she continued as she
drew him inside and closed the door,
"that the servants are out tonight, and
some of the family have to answer the
front doorbell.
He thought he saw a chance to make
a start in the right direction without
alarming her. That had been the trou-
BILE all the time with Algernon. He was
in mortal terror of frightening the girl
by some emotional precipitancy or 9th
er, and thus destroying his hopes for
ever.
"Why, Miss Dora," he said in ten
der, insinuating tones, don't you know
my ring yet?"
She looked down at her empty fin
gers. where no jeweled setting shone,
and then looked up into Algernon S
face.

troubled himself to any extent about
the question of suitable engine, which
could be furnished easily enough when
needed. The problem was to make
machine that would fly, and fly in the
right way; this accomplished, there was
no difficulty in supplying the power re-
quired for long trip.
In short the difficulties are greatly
lessened by the enlargement of the ma
chine. A flyer of this type eighty feet
long would have a sufficient area OF
planes to sustain powerful steam en-
CINE and a car carrying a number of
passengers. The steam may be obtain
ed from liquid fuel or by burning gas
that has been compressed and loaded
into cylindrical reservoirs of thin
drawn steel tubing. Such a reservoir
can be made to hold 100 times its cubi-
cal contents Of gas. and thus the air
ship is able to take on board a great
quantity of fuel in very small COM
pass. The four-horse power Copeland
engine now on the market weighs only
twenty-seven pounds and occupies a
floor space of but ten inches square, its
height being twenty-one inches.
Professor Langley calls his machine
an "aerodrome" or air runner. II trav-
els at the rate of eighteen miles an
hour The inventor regards it as an
important point Of advantage that it is
able to go so slowly. This will be un-
derstood when it is explained that the
sustaining power required by the air
ship becomes less in proportion to the
increase of its speed. A man can skate
over thin ice which would not bear him
II he stood still. The faster he goes
the thinner the ice needed to hold him
up. If he go fast enough he could run
over the surface of a pond of water.
The same principle applies to the aero
drome in its progress through the at
mosphere.
II the aerodrome is able to sustain
itself when flying only eighteen miles
an hour, 1t can carry twice as much
weight when going twice as fast Until
recently 1t has been imagined that the
atmosphere was not dense enough for
propellers to act upon 1t effectively

People commonly think of flight In
the air as implying an ascent to great
heights, but for that there Is no neces-
sity. All that is required for practical
purposes is that the aerodrome shall
travel at level high enough to be clear
OF houses and trees. The start must
be made from a height. Not the best
flyer among the soaring birds can make
a start from the ground without much
difficulty. The eagle takes a long run
before II can rise, thus gathering mo-
mentum. The sky-searching condor Of
the Andes gets start usually by drop
ping from lofty crag. An important
part of the problem of human flight Ia
the question of landing safely. People
are not going to travel in vehicle that
is apt to wind up its journey with
smash-up. Professor Langley believes
he sees the way out of this trouble, but
he guards his ideas on the subject very
carefully.
1t may be that the aerodrome OF the
future for passenger traffic will be mod
flied on the plan of trolley for the sake
of safety Suppose a lie of poles carry
ing trolley wire to be erected from
New York to Chicago. The airship
overhead would be connected with this
wire below by two wires. The connect
ing wires would travel along the trolley
wire. BY means of this arrangement
the power for running the propeller
fans could be furnished from dynamo
stations at suitable intervals along the
route. Thus all necessity for carrying
an engine on the aerial vessel would be
obviated. The airship might fly at
height Of 100 feet or so above the trolley.
II would carry suspended beneath 1t a
car for passengers. Who can say that
ten years hence we may not see such
line as this running across the contin-
ent, with a continuous flight of aero
dromes departing and arriving at 30
minute intervals? One important ad-
vantage of the trolley idea is that the
wire would control the flying machine,
and no steering would be necessary.
