Edison Institute for Poor inventors


Thomas A. Edison, the great Amerl-
can inventor. now figures as a philan-
thropist. He is planning 10 establish
an institute in Paris for the benefit Of
impecunous inventors. The news OF 1t
has just leaked out, despite efforts to
keep the project secret for the time be-
ing at any rate. Mr. Edison is a firm
believer in the Scriptural injunction
about not letting your right hand know
what the left doeth, and will not him
self talk about the matter. From the
French capital. however, comes the in
telligence.
NJ. Gourand, the European partner Of
Mr., Edison, has already had a talk
with NJ, Loubet. president Of France
on the subject and has received every
encouragement possible. NJ Loubet has
always been interested In science and
inventions and entered heart and soul
into the plans unfolded by Mr. Edisons
partner. NJ. Gourand is authority for
the facts here stated
The institute will, within a year or
year and half, be In active operation.
No site has yet been selected but It has
been decided that the building shall be
erected within the limits Of the city
OF Paris, In an easily accessible quar-

The idea Of founding an institute for

inventors Of the world labor The in

Mr. Edlsons heart.

various sciences, one department being
entirely devoted TO electricity, another

the magnitude OF the undertaking may

CAN STEER AS HE PLEASES.
His Air ship Perfectly Under Control
committee Names Conditions
Odious 20 Duinont.

New York, Aug. 5.-The Herald pub
fishes a despatch from its Paris cores
pendent to the effect that II any doubt
still fingered as to the perfect steer
ability of NJ. Santos Dumont's balloon,
II must have been dispelled by the lat
est ascension.
Continuing, the Paris correspondent
gives the following additional details
when about $50 metres up in the air,
the young aeronaut discovered that a
too Jealous workman had securely
knotted the cord that controls the guide
rope which governs the plane Of dir
ection of his airship Before he could
liberate this cord, as the guide rope
was catching in the trees OF the Bots
de Boulogne, he had TO sacrifice all his
ballast in order TO get clear OF the
ground or rather the tree tops. Under
such conditions he did not care to ven
ture over Paris, where a descent might
! have become unavoidable, owing to
the lack Of ballast. These little draw
backs. however, are of minor import
ance, and simply delayed the official at
tempt TO win Mr. Deutsch's prize.
What Nj. Santos Dumont has achieved
is In itself quite sufficient TO convince
the most skeptical that he is absolutely
master Of his direction while in the
air.
starting at the Pare DAero station
at ST. Cloud at Ais this afternoon, the
Santos Dumont V, after a journey
above the Bols De Boulogne in the dir
ection Of the Eiffel tower. turned as
obediently as a yacht answering her
helm and came back TO the Pare at
a fair speed, following as undertaking
a course MS though II were marked by
a visible straight line.
There was only the faintest OF
breezes, It is true, but what there was
OF 1t was blowing against the balloon
This was. however, so Enthusiastically
Independent OF any air current favor
able or unfavorable. that the spectators
seemed TO awake TO q fun appreciation
Of NJ. Santos Dumont's triumphant So
luton Of the problem of aerial naviga-
ton, and greeted him upon his return
with hearty burst OF applause. No
public announcement had been made
Of the ascension, so the crowd was not
so great as on Friday.
Just before starting there occurred
a little incident that somewhat disturb
ed NJ Santos Dumont's equananimity.
Just as he was about TO leave, the
prize committee reminded" him that
the starting time would be taken at
the exact instant his guide rope left
the ground, and the moment OF his
return would be the instant his balloon
came TO earth again. To this latter
detail. NJ. Santos umont objected fiat
ly He claimed, very logically. that the
end Of the voyage. was the moment he
arrived over the starting point. Not
only does there seem TO be common
sense In his contention, but II Is also in
accordance with both the letter and
spirit Of the conditions laid down for the
Prix de LAero Club contest,

cept that a new draft had been order
ed, This has now been promulgated by
the emperor, The opposition on prin-
ciple on constitutional grounds, Is not
met, but the bill Is made as acceptable
as possible by tightening the burden
to be placed upon the shoulders Of
Finland. Three years OF active SER
vice Is TO be introduced instead Of
four or five, and the number Of Fin

duced II Is reoprted that the govern

OF the previous Finnish regiments and
battalions none will remain except the
Dragon regiment and the battalion Of
guards Eight other battallons will be
dissolved. The Finnish recruits will be
enrolled In the Dragons and the
guards, whose headquarters are TO re-
main for the present In Finland. The
law expressly states that Finnish
troops may be employed IN peace or
war, wherever the interests Of the SER
vice may require their presence, but for
the present they may remain in
Finland.
Other trips may be quartered In
Finland, but for the present there does
