My first experiments were made
when I was connected with the astro-
nomical observatory in Pittsburg. 1t is
now more than fifteen years ago that
built my first laboratory for aerial in
vestigation there. A friend Of mine,
William Thaw, a wealthy citizen Of
Pittsburg, supplied the means and I
was enabled to make all sorts Of tests
to ascertain the power used in aerial
motion. One device which 1 had was
a whirling table. This was an arm
about thirty feet long, which swung
about on central pivot, ten feet above
ground. 1t was moved by a ten-horse
power steam engine, and it went flying
around, moving at all speeds up to
seventy miles an hour. Now, on the
end of the arm / put instruments which
would measure the lifting power of the

scale hung there, and to this brass
plates were attached When the arm
was put in motion 1 found that the
faster it went the less weight the plates
registered on the scales, until at great
speed they almost f1oated In the air. I
found, in fact, that the higher the
speed the less was the force required
to keep the plates from falling. This
seems at first a contradiction Of known
principles, but have no time now to
explain it. I found that not one-twen-
tieth of the force before supposed to be
required to support bodies under such
conditions was needed, and what before
had seemed impossible began to look
possible.

VIII Certainly Cure Any Form Of
Piles.
The study of physicians, the expert
ments of chemists. the loudly adver-
tised pretensions Of quacks, have been
for years expended in one direction;
to find a pile cure that would cure.
The results have been q number Of
harmless and in most cases useless
ointments, suppositories and even In
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required is one which will
Immediately stop the pain so severe
in many cases of piles, and then by
contracting the small blood vessels
(capillaries) to their normal size, pro-
duces radical cure by reducing and
finally absorbing the tumors and heal
ing the inf1amed, raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no such remedy
had been produced, but at that time a
suppository was placed upon the mar
ket, which has since proven itself to
for this common and distressing
trouble; 1t has rapidly become famous
throughout the United States and
Canada, and is now sold by nearly all
druggists under the name Of the Pyra-s
mid Pile Cure.
1t Is now the best known, because
it's merit and safety have advertised
it wherever used. It has been adver-
tised by word of mouth, from one suf-
ferer to another; people who had tried
everything else, even submitting to
painful and dangerous surgical oper-
ations without avail have finally found
that piles may be cured without pain
and without expense, practically, as
the Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the
nominal price of so cents and 81 per
Pc ckage.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
and at the same time contain no CO.

and healing properties contained in the

way, nearly always result from neg

MONEY TO BURN.
America Relieving the Needs Of
Foreign Financial Centers

Foreign Financial Centers.
NEW YORK, Dec 1.-THE Financier
says: The surplus reserve Of the New
York clearing house banks, after hav-
Ing Increased from $500, $50 on Sept 8
last, to $32, 4O4, 400 Dec. S, shows signs of
halting. The decrease for the week
ending Dec. IL, being $685. $50. This con-
traction was brought about mainly
through the enormous expansion in
loans.
The increase in loans Is the largest
reported since the election, and is in it
self striking evidence of the present
workings of the low money market
On Nov. 1 the total loans OF the New
York banks were SAP, 179, 700 The total
for the week just ended, was $483, 503,-
500 showing an expansion Of Sal, 312, 800
in about one month. The growth for
the past week, therefore, was almost
80 per cent Of the whole. But 1t is prob
ably true that this unparalleled in
crease comes from sources other than
those arising from commercial de-
mands. The sterling exchange opera
tors, by which local capital Is being
used abroad, figures heavily in the
loan column, although 1t would be idle
to dispute the fact that the needs of
this aid have contributed in bringing
about the unprecedented upward move
ment which seemingly has not yet Gull
minated.
The peculiar position which the New
York banks occupy today toward for
eign commercial centers is illustrated
in this statement. The crop movement
having virtually closed, money Is flow
ing into New York banks faster than
it can be used, and the result is re-
markable and busy market. How
much money we have received from
abroad during the late season Of strin-
gency cannot be estimated with &C
curacy, but our enormous exports have
made foreign nations debtor to the
United States, and, instead of getting
their money back in the form Of bal
ances, they are compelled to borrow on
this side to relieve stringent conditions
there. This has never happened be-
fore.

nature and 1t has been constructed at
an enormous expense of patience and
experiment. It may be said that near
ly every atom of the aerodrome as 1t
is now put together is the result of
experiment. The making of the boiler
alone consumed months Of work Every
bit Of the machinery had to be con-
structed with scientific accuracy. 1t
had to be tested again and again. The
difficulty Of getting the machine light
enough was such that every part of
1t had to be remade many times 1t
would be in full working order when
something would give way, and this
part would have to be strengthened.
This caused additional weight and
necessitated the cutting off of that
much weight from some other part Of
the machinery At times, the difficulty
seemed almost heartbreaklng, but Mr.
Langley went on piece by piece and
atom by atom, until he at last sue
ceeded in getting all the parts of the
right strength and proportions. Even
after he had completed his model and
had 1t ready for flight he was con-
fronted with an unexpected difficulty,
which was, 1t seemed at the time al
most impossible to surmount.
LAUNCHING THE AIR-RUNNER.
This was the launching of the ma
chine into the air. One of the most Diff
ficult things that large. soaring birds
have to contend with in flying is in
getting start. You know how diff
cult it Is to launch g. ship into the
water. 1t is far more difficult to launch
an air ship. Mr. Langley found that
his machine had to be clamped down
ON the launching stage and to be ar
ranged in such way that the ma
chinery could be started so that it
should receive a slight initial velocity
and then be released with a spring.
This looks easy. It was hard But Mr..
Langley at last succeeded In launch. ing
his machine by hanging it to a NOV
able table, SO that it could be turned
to face the direction in which the flight
was to be made, and so that the wheels
of the table would carry the aerodrome
straight out in a horizontal line and

WASHINGTON, d. G., Dec. To-
Within the past few months an inven-
ton has been made here at Washing
ton which promises to revolutionize the
travel of the world. 1t may transfer
the vessels of the ocean to the air and
carry the locomotives among the
clouds. The development of it WILL in
all. probability, change the warfare of
the world, and 1t may make war so
terrible that the national troubles of
the future will be settled by arbitration.
I refer to Mr.. Langley's aerodrome.
The word means air-runner, and the
machine is such that it runs faster
upon the surface of the air than
horse can trot.
For sixteen years Mr. Langley has
steadily pursued his work upon it. En-
crossed as he has been, first in astro-
nomical investigation and later In ad
ministering the greatest of our scien-
tific institutions, he has had only his
leisure moments to devote to it, and
now, after thousands of experiments
and hundreds upon hundreds of fail
ures, he has accomplished what scien-
lists once declared to be impossible.
Knowing that his work was done al
most at the risk of his scientific repu-
tation being questioned, during the
early years of it he kept the object of
his Investigations to himself. Today
the world knows practically nothing of
them, and it was only last May, after
persistent urging on the part of his
friend, Prof Alexander Graham Bell,
that he allowed him to state the fact
bod

Since then additional improvements

machine, made chiefly of steel, weigh
ing as much as a four-year-old- boy,
yet so large that 1t would just about
fill the average parlor, moved by a
steam engine which was a part of it,
dart forth from the launching stage
and fly in an almost straight line
through the air a distance of more
than 1900 yards, or over three-quarters
of a mile. 1t flew almost as far as
the length Of Pennsylvania avenue be-

flight was horizontal. There was not
