In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat and they recovered. Their condition, however. was more the result of whisky than heat.
 The air is so dry here that a registered temperature Of 10 degrees is not as oppres- sive as 50 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this ftlcf and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 3J degrees. At nearly all times there is cool in ths summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,

We are by no means certain that we
have yet arrived at the proper form
for aero-planes or curves. In fact, we
feel quite certain that we are some
distance from it, although these kites
have demonstrated that they are com
paratively safe and stable while in the
air. l may be pardoned for saying
that this comparative safety to the
navigator is great point gained.
The immense danger to human life in
attempts at aerial navigation has been
a tremendous drawback to scientific
experimenting heretofore. With dan
ger to life and limb reduced to a mini
mum, we certainly shall find scientific
experimenting much more easy of ac-
eomplishment in, the future The fact
that a scientist can now, with almost
absolute safety, make his observation
and calculations and experiment in
actual practice while sailing in mid
air is the biggest advance yet made
along the lines of aerial navigation.
Zone of the most disheartening diff
ficulties that we have found in these
large kites is their liability to injury
when on the ground and in starting
or alighting. Unless they go upon an
even keel one side may catch in the
ground with destructive effect. So,
too, alighting they must land on an
even keel Inasmuch as close to the
ground the currents of air swerve
around in different directions, constant
attention is necessary to make fair
start and landing. l have found it a
great advantage to have the airship
run on wheels, and so have used pneu-
matic-tired bicycle wheels in my late
experiments, and have found them just
the thing needed for the trick. A light,
small wheel or castor of this sort on
the tip of each wing might prevent
serious injury to machines, as it is
necessary to make them light and
strong. The larger the kites the more
difficult it is to make them light and
strong. Although our large kite
weighed less than three ounces to the
square foot of sustaining surface, yet
1t would easily sustain a man when
suspended from either two of the outer
ribs a distance of twenty feet, and as
in the air it was evenly supported over
the whole surface, it was deemed
amply strong.
II took pains to have each vertical
strain supported by three piano wires,
each capable of lifting 300 pounds. On
our first trial, a year ago, we found
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1897-09-25

that the vertical struts separating the
two surfaces were not quite sufficient to
stand the strain, and they were re-
placed by stronger ones. Weakness in
these points caused last year at Rigby
an accident and fall of 1000 feet. A
dummy was on board, but man would,
not have been hurt, for the fall was as
gentle as a doves lighting on the
ground.
THE day of rope has passed with me
as far as these advance experiments
are concerned. l use piano wire. The
limit to the height of the flight of an
air ship is the weight and wind pres
sure against the string. The strongest
material and the lightest weight per
mile is found in piano wire, and there
fore the highest flights have been OBJ
tanned by its use''

have been obliged to admit the like
lihood of the early accomplishment of
the flying machine. These two in
ventors have devoted their principal
efforts to perfeoting the light motors
and propellers. Chanute and Herring
and, in a modest way, l, have been
devoting more attention to the form
of the supporting surfaces, which are
as important as the motors, and, in
deed some of us believe that it will
eventually be possible to sail the air
and go in any direction upon rigid
wings without the motor, as the birds

In my search for stability l have
driven aero-drome. and the sailing
have been previously noted. The fore
runner of modern scientific aerial
navigation was first given to the pub
lie by Herring in his cellular or box
kites. My airship kite, used at Rigby
park last year was a modification of
that form with an effort to introduce
steering into the wind by using jointed
cells or levers. This kite proved to
us that it was necessary to have this
large surface so that it could be readily
folded for transportation. With this
in view the kite recently flown at
Falmouth Fireside was constructed.
It having been found that slight
changes in the position of the weight
carried were sufficient for steering, no
rudder was attached to this last ship.

1t is very singular how the fact Of
mans death often seems to give people
a truer idea of his character, whether
for good or for evil, than they have
ever possessed while he was living and
acting among men. Death is so genu-
inc a fact that it excludes falsehood,
or betrays its emptiness; it is touch
down that proves the gold, and dis
hOnOrs the baser metal. Could the
departed, whoever he may be, return
in a week after his decease, he would
almost invariably find himself at a
higher or a lower point than he has
formerly occupied on the scale of pub
lie appreciation.
