PRACTICAL AIR-sHIP
The Machine is Not Model, But
Full Pledged Air Ship Upon Which
Several Thousand Dollars Have
Been spens-Many Attempts Made
to Attain Ideal.

Washington, July 16.-Professor S.
L. Langley, of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. will. within few days, test a
new flying machine, upon which he has
been working for some time. The test
will be made somewhere on the banks
of the Potomac river, This machine is
not entirely new, but follows the lines
of his previous invention. Professor
Langley is confident that 1t will be a
success.
The flying machine Is curiously
constructed apparatus, SIXTY feet an.
length and apparently of great stabil-
ity. 1t is built Of steel and brass and
in addition to being the invention of
Professor Langley, was constructed un-
der his direct supervision. The ma
chine is not model, but full fedged
air ship, and strong enough for prac-
teal purposes.
The machine is driven by four elec-
trio motors and is capable of furnishing
its own motive power when in the air.
Heretofore the models tested by Pro-
fessor Langley, depended for the force
of their propulsion upon outside ener-
gy administered upon and not from
within the machine.
The present machine is fitted with
small platform and railing capable of
holding a man in a sitting or standing
posture. AT the sides of the apparatus
are horizontal thin steel plates from
is to 80 inches in length, and about 8
inches in width. The central portion,

ship, and the principal feature of the
invention, consists Of a cigar-shaped
cylinder, made of brass. apparently. and
is sharp pointed at both ends. 1t is to
this cylinder that the various parts of
the motor are fastened.
Several thousand dollars have been
spent by Professor Langley in bring
ing to it's present perfection the airship,
to whose construction he has devoted
much of his life. Numerous models
have been made, and time after time
whole portions of the concern have been
destroyed in vain attempts to attain
the ideal sought for. The work on the
machine is understood to have been
done at Professor Langley's own home
and at the government workshops of
the Smithsonian Institution.

i Badly l.aeerated by Rabid Canine
Physicians Fear Serious Results

Special to Times Republican.
Boone. Iowa, July 16.-Wednesday
afternoon about 4 o'clock, Rollin, the
four-year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. I. j..
Saterlee, was bitten by mad dog in
front Of the Saterlee residence at 101S
Crawford street. Immediately after the
accident physicians were summoned to
the Saterlee residence and are doing all
that possibly can be done for the little
lad.
The boy had been with his mother In
the garden for some time and had just
left her with the remark that he was
going to the sidewalk and watch the
walk about three minutes when the dog,
a large New Foundland, came up and
screamed and the Whee;ock boy who
was driving past, jumped from his wag-
on and with his whip drove the dog
from the boy and down the street.
The boy was taken to his home and
his injuries examined. His right arm
was black and blue from the wrist to
his shoulder The flesh of his arm and
shoulder had not been torn but there
were evidences of hard struggle. The
dog also bit the boy over the right eye
and when the physicians arrived large
piece of flesh had to be taken off where
the dog had torn it loose from the bone.
This morning the little fellow was rest
ing as well as could be expected con-
sidering the nature of his injuries,
which are causing a grea. deal of pain.
The dog was finally killed after bit
ing several other dogs and making an
attack on a boy named standley. There
is no doubt that the dog was afflicted
with rabies.
