cannot be protected from the pirates who
live off the work of inventors, and | DO
not believe it would be possible to secure II
patent on either a flying machine or All
airship or any part of one that would stand
the test of the courts. If someone
should make n commercially successful
flying machine dozens would at once copy
the models and take away the fruits of tn
original inventors labor. There isn't II
Judge in the country who would hold that
there was really any invention in such an
apparatus, because so much has been done
and written about it that the only difference
between the successful machine, which Is
to be, and the many failures, which have
been, will be very slight. | doubt whether
any new principle will be discovered on
which even a claim for a patent may be
made.
The man or men who really solve the
problem of flying through the air will find
out nothing new. PowerfuI motors Of won
derful compactness, will be applied to a
framework Of extreme lightness and that
will be all there will be to it. Doubtless,
this framework will be something similar
to the physical structure of a bird. | do
not believe II Will be dlfilCult, because We
have many mechanical devices now which
are superior to the devices used by nature
in human beings and animals, and | do not
see why we may not put together a %contriv-
ance which will be at least equal to the

PrOf. LHnEIey's Efforts.
Prof. S. p. Langley Of the Smithsonian
Institute, Washington, was one Of the first
men in this country to experiment with
flying machines-machines heavier than
the air-unless we admit the immortal
Darius Green and his far-famed flying ma
chine into our chronology OF scientific ex-
periments. Prof. Langley had a theory
to prove and proved it. lie did not accom-
pany his aerodrome in its flights, but he
demonstrated beyond a shadow OF doub'
. that mechanical flight is possible. Sh

g had much work to do, Langley proved al
he wanted to. 1t is time now for other

@1HOMAS A. EDISON believes that
mankind ought to be ashamed of
- itself because the problem OF
IGEEMI aerial navigation by human be-
- ings was not solved years ago.
He also makes the rather remarkable sta'e-
ment that. while Santos-Dumont has done
a great thing in steering airships about
through the air, 1t will be a long time be
fore any contrivance for air navigation is
commercially possible, because no inventor
will be able to secure any reward for his
labor in this line Of work under the pre5en-
patent laws. To make this great possibility
practical, it seems that We shall have to
establish a sort of protective academy of
invention which shall reward the successful
inventor of the commercial airship.
81 was down in Florida recently and one
day | watched a big bird think 1t was a
vulture-that fOated about in the ar a
whole hour without moving its wings pre-
ceptibly. When God made that bird lie
gave II a machine to fly with, but He dllnt
give it much else. He gave the bird a very
small brain with which to direct the move
ments Of the machine, but He gave to a
nan a much larger brain in proportion to
that of the bird"
Mr.. Edison is not the first to make such
a comparison, out Wuen ne ldiheu lulS way
the other day to Santos-Dumont, the Bra
lillian aeronaut, there was a world of mean
ing in the words. The wizard of the labora-
tory was much interested in the young man
who had startled Paris and the world by
steering an airship over the city, not once,
but several times.
"You are the only man who has done
such a thing" exclaimed Mr.. Edison.
81 anne sure you have never worked OF
thrs problem of aerial navigation" replied
Santos Dumont, "or you would have ac.
complished years ago more than l have
done now" The aeronaut was not tryinl
to be complimentary; he has the highes
admiration for Mr.. Edison and his inventiv,
genius.
Il don't know about that, said Edison
Il did take it up once several years ag'
and built a specially light motor to b.
operated by exploding gunpowder. 1 ex

make the machine rise and to keep it in
sufficient molten to hold it in position a
certain number of feet above the earth. He
constantly refers to the figure of the bird
which anyone may see rise and fly at VII.
Take the case of the vulture." he said.
Here is a natural flying machine which is
a thousand times as heavy as the air 1t dis
places. In a few seconds OF lelsurely night
l. can sweep over a distance which man
finds encountered with all sorts of obstacles
and there is scarcely a nutter of its wings
in the operation. There is nothing there
but a machine and a small brain and 1t is
not a very remarkable machine either.
Why is it that a man cannot make a flying
machine as efficient as the bird? A lot v-
people say that it was never meant that
man should fly; that II nature had intend d
such a thing, man would have been pro-
vided with the necessary machinery in his
b-dy, such as is now possessed by the bird.
But you might just as well say that 1t was
never intended that man should have any
light aside from the sun and the moon and
sars which were originally provided for
him, or that he should not move abou
faster with the aid of wheels because m
wheels were supplied to him by nature.
No Electric Flying Machine.
Someone asked Mr.. Edison whether his
new storage battery would be OF service
in solving the problem of aerial nayiga'
ton.
'Oh, no, of course not, - he replied III
would be too heavy. We must get tn
highest possible motive power. Thus the
greatest factor of this problem is to get
very light motor which will be powerful
enough to operate the flying machine
properly. The best thing now in sight 10

motor, something that will get up po~e

The idea was mooted in some infiu-
