chine and not by the airship. Only
with the machine, he says, can air
navigation ever be made either safe or
commercially profitable. This will be
clear to the reader when it is ex-
planned that in Mr.. Edison's Vocabu-
larry the term air ship" applies to a
contrivanCe that, being lighter than
the air floats in it as a ship floats on
the water. The term flying machine"
on the other hand, refers, as he uses it,
to contlivance heavier than the air
II is intended to navigate. At rest such
an apparatus would not float at all,
the power of flotation being furnished
by the high speed at which it moves.
In Edisons mind. then, aerial naviga-
ton is simply n question of sufficient
motive power, properly applied, to
overcome the lack of buoyancy neces-
sary to make the machine rise and to
keep it in sufficient motion 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 will.
Take the case of the vulture," he
said Here is a natural flying ma
chine which is a thousand times as
heavy as the air it displaces. In a
few seconds of leisurely fight it can
sweep over distance which man finds
encumbered with all sorts of obstacles
and there is scarcely a flutter of it's
wings in the operation. There is moth
ing there but a machine and a small
brain and it is not a very remarkable
machine either. Why is it that a man
cannot make a flying machine as eff
fcient as the bird? A lot of people say
that it was never meant that man
should fly; that if Nature had intended
such a thing, man would have been
provided with the necessary machinery
in his body, such as is now possessed
by the bird. But you might just as
well say that it was never intended that
man should have any light aside from
the sun and the moon and stars which
were originally provided for him, OF

Thomas A. Edison believes that man.
.ind ought to be ASHAMED of itself be-
cause the problem of aerial navigation
nv human beings was not solved years
ago He also makes the rather re-
mar1able statement that, while Santos
Dumont has done a great thing in
steering airships about through the air,
If will be a long time before any con-
trivance for air navigation is COM
mercially possible, because no inventor
will be able to secure any reward for
his labor in this line of work under the
present 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.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-05-04

Santos Dumont will not hesitate to
launch his craft and fly away over
cities and seas; the sensation of fear
seems to be entirely absent from his
makeup.
Il always have a good deal to do
when l am in my ship, he explains,
and do not have time to think about
being afraid. 1 don't know what it
is to be afraid of falling"
Interesting Experiments.
1t seems an almost universal belief
that the air itself offers tremendous
resistance to the passage of any body
through it. AS a matter of fact, it
doesn't. The bird in its flight has been
both constant wonder to man and an
unending promoter of hope that some
day he may equal it's aerial move
ments, but if the air resisted flight
according to the computations of New
ton and the ordinary text books of the
day, the swallow would have to be as
strong as a man. Prof. Langley has
demonstrated the contrary by inter-
esting experiments which any one may
reproduce. He attached a plate of
brass to a spring registering apparatus
and fastened it to a long arm which
easily could be set in motion. When
the arm was at rest, the brass regis
tered one pound. but when the arm was
revolved the spring, instead of being
drawn out still further, was contracted
until it registered less than an ounce.
The weight then seemed to float in the
air and it was found that much less
power was required to move the plate
rapidly than at a low rate of speed. 1t
seemed to run over the air much the
same as a Skipping" stone runs over
the surface of the water and does not
sink until it's momentum is gone.
Mr.. Edisons plan of solution was APP
parently so different from that of San
tos- pumont that I asked the aeronaut
how he regarded the matter.
Il don't think our ideas are so far
apart he replied He told me 1 was
on the right track. l don't believe in
doing away with the balloon entirely
yet | am making the gas bag smaller
and increasing the motive power all
the time, so perhaps after a while
shall come to Mr.. Edisons plan. I'm
fortunately, what he says about the
rewards Cf the inventor is true, but

He is a practical man. He has prom

chronology of scientific experiments.
Prof. Langley had a theory to prove
and he proved it, He did not accom-
pany his aerodrome in its flights, but
he demonstrated beyond a shadow of
doubt that mechanical flight is posi-
bic. Sir Hiram Maxim showed this
also with his aeroplane. AS man of
pure science, who had much work to
do, Langley proved all he wanted to.
1t is time now for others to make the
flying machine commercially available.
1t took Prof. Langley several years
to develop his main idea as to flying.
but during those years he reached
many interesting conclusions which
viii doubtless be taken into account by
the inventors who attempt to follow
him and to carry out the idea of Edi-
son as to navigating the air.
In his preliminary experiments, Prof.
Langley showed that, disregarding the
friction, which is slight, a two hun
dred pound plate could be moved
through the air at the rate of fifty
miles an hour with the expenditure of
one horse power energy. That is, a ton
of weight could be drawn horizontally
through space and upon the air with
an engine of only ten horsepower. In
his airship Number VII, Santos u-
mont will have engines of ninety ag-
gregate horsepower, suf1c1ent to move
fiat plate weighing nine tons through
the air at the rate of fifty miles an
hour. AS a matter of fact the Santos
Dumont Number VII will weigh when
collapsed less than ton and when the
gas bag is filled with hydrogen, the
whole machine will have lifting pow
er of $500 pounds. With this equip
ment the young man hopes to speed
through the air at the rate of forty
FIVE miles an hour.
1t must be clearly understood. how
ever that the Santos Dumont type of
airship cannot be operated in a stiff
breeze or in changeable winds; indeed
the aeronaut does not make any claim
that he can navigate the air in all
kinds of weather. Given fair weather,

She will naturally be the central fig
ure in all future social events of this
season. Although this is her first visit
to America, she has many friends
here. whom she has entertained in her
home in Paris. The Cambons will be-
gin a series of festivities in their
splendid new embassy by a tea, on
Thursday of this week, for which the
ambassador has issued several hum
dred cards. Later in the month they
will give a large evening reception,
when the guests of honor will be the
officers of the battleship Caulois. OF
course the Cambons will have prom
inent part in the unwilling of the statue
of Rochambeau and the brilliant and
continuous entertainment that will fol-
low for a fortnight.
The most delightful social happening
of the past week was the farewell din
ner given by Secretary of the Navy
and Mrs. Long. on the Dolphin, when
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt and
the cabinet families were the evenings
guests. That gossipy little bird"
which tells so many tales, is RESPONSE
BILE for the statement that dignity was
laid aside for an hour or two in the
safe seclusion of a yacht at sea-so
to speak. and that the President and
all the grave and learned statesmen
who form his official family took to
themselves partners and danced the
Virginia reel in fine style. to the merry
fiddling of a Dolphin tar.
Mrs. Miles, wife of the Lieutenant
General commanding the army, is still
confined to her room from the effects
of a fall two weeks ago. Mrs. Elkins
wife of the Senator from West Vir-
ginia, though much improved by her
recent visit South, is still too much of
an invalid to make or receive calls.
The Admiral of the navy and Mrs.
Dewey, who are at present in New
York (having come up from Florida
where they spent the winter, without
stopping in Washington, will go inn

where they expect to take a cottage

from Manila, where he has been serv-

Mr.. Edison is not the first to make
such comparison, but when he talked
tnls way the other day to Santos-Du
mont the Brazilian aeronaut, there
was a world oT)meaning in the words.
Inc wizard of the laboratory was much
interested in the young man who had
startled Paris and the world by steer
ing an airship over the city, not once,
out several times.
You are the only man who has

Edison.
