Every Man His Own Balloon; Or.
Flying Made Easy" ought to be the
title OF the patent papers 1n-the case OF
Reuben ]. Spaulding. of Rosita, Col.
Columns and columns OF space have
been devoted to the "buzzard" of Prof.
Langley, which does buzz but doesn't
fly, while the wonderful invention of
Reuben ]. Spaulding, patented in 1888,
has remained unheralded and unsung
although his invention was certainly as
successful as that OF Prof. Langley, and,
for that matter, may have been more
successful.
Prof Langley has spent many years,
and, 1t is said, $50, 900 of Government
money, trying to fly as a bird. He
watched the fight of birds from the
wild happings of a frightened hen TO
The majestic circling of the lonely con-
dor. The result of his cogitation and
observation was that he thought ne
could make machine that would Fly
without wings. The result Of his ef-
forts was the construction of the "buz-
Yard" which has set on the Potomac
for three months and Matched nothing
but trouble and disappointment

Reuben J. Spaulding wss also an OBJ

Bean. OF the Sixth precinct station, ar
rested Maud Reynolds, twenty years old.
as She was about to board train at
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad sta
ton about $50 O'Clock this morning. and
locked her UP on suspicion of being i'm
pIicated in the probable fatal shooting
OF John Ryan In Alexandria last night.
she was sent to the house OF detention.
Acting Chief Of Police Knight and
Policemen Garvey, of Alexandria, ar
rived in Washington this morning, and
accompanied by Detective Sergeant Baur
went to the house of detention to see
the young woman. She admitted she was

The woman says she was recently

In the Alexandria police court this

Weird-Looking Model.
Among all the thousands Of models in
the Patent Office none is more remark
able in appearance than this flying ma
chine OF the Colorado genius. which was
unearthed yesterday by Chief Clerk
Charles NJ. Irelan. A rough model of a
man with a head disproportionately
large and with eyes of ghoulish green is
provided with a pair OF wings of brill
liancy of hue that would make a South
American parrot wild with envy. These
wings are not made Of a solid piece OF
material. but consist OF a number OF
planes stuck into the frame of the wing
exactly as the wing feathers of a bird
are arranged.
A bird without tail could not steer
itself, and neither could a man-bird, sc
the inventor attached a tail OF generous
Proportions. also made OF feathers. 81
that 1t could be spread out like that o.
love-sick gobbler or folded neatly and
modestIy into small space.
! Attached TO the arms of the man is ;
series OF levers SO arranged that whel
he flaps his wings he rises into the ali
and is on his way. Once clear of tn
ground, he may facilitate his flight b.
working his legs up and down with mo
ton like that used in treading water
and the energy thus expended will b.
conveyed to the wings by an ingeniou
set OF ropes.
Neither Mr.. Irelan nor anyone els
around the Patent ONCE ever hear
whether Reuben J. spaulding jumped Of
the barn or the Methodist steeple in hi
town. trusting to his wonderful wings
but all who have seen the model sa
they would as lief place their depend
ence in the Spaulding wings as in tn
Langley ''buZZard."
