KITE USED FOR PROPULSION
Professor Bell Trying to Solve Aerial
Navigation.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Dr. Alexander
Graham Bell, who has just returned to
Washington from his summer home in
Cape Breton island, tonight made the
following statement in connection with
the reports that have appeared in the
public prints that he has invented
flying machine:
The newspapers have been prema-
ture in announcing that I have been
at work on a flying machine. 1 have
no flying machine at all and have not
been trying to make one. 1 am, of
course, interested in the problem and
have come TO the conclusion that
properly constructed flying machine
should be capable of being flown as
kite if anchored to the ground and
that, conversely, a properly construct
ed kite should be capable of use as
flying machine, if provided with suit
able means of propulsion. My expert
ments have had as their effect the
building of a kite of solid construction
capable of carrying up in a moderate
breeze a weight equivalent to that of
a man and engine, and so formed that
it is believed suitable for use as the
body of a flying machine and with
supporting surfaces so arranged that
when the kite is cut loose it win come
down gently and steadily and land I'M
injured, l have successfully accom-
plished this, but don't care at the
present to make public the details of
construction"
