TWO GREAT INVENTORS AND AIR SHIPS
SIR HIRAM MAXIM AND PROFESSOR BELL BOTH

There is d popular impression that Sir Hiram

cal flying machine This is quite incorrect.
Sir Hiram is prepared TO pay $4,000. but it
ing machine which will do certain things. and the
plans and the patents must be invested in him.
The misrepresentation has led to his being deluged
with plans, which nave been arriving Tor the last
two or three weeks every hour in the day and in

people capable of making the plans of flying
of those who think they can make such plans is
without end Some OF the letters which accompany
the plans curiOSities. One worthy forwards
drawings for bidding a maSheen,' while another
talks OF a ''bIOOn." A third writes, Il hear you
made this offer and think L satisfy you with
the goods" while fourth, evidently of
phatc turn of mind and unwilling TO give nything
Tor nothing. says, Upon the receipt of this letter
please go az once the Bank of England, and get
a f5OO note. register IL and mail II me- will then
write and tell you how 10 build a flying machine" ="
The idea of the flying machine occurred TO Sir
Hiram and his associates after the Maxim gun had
achieved its European renOwn- IL appeared to him
