when one of my headaches was on
was really ana truly crazy, and did not
even recognize my husband. The doctor
would give me morphine tablets to stop
my crying.

Ills AIRSHIP FALLS APART
PROFESSOR LANGLEY WITNESSES
THE FINAL FAILURE OF HIS
MUCH-BELOVED AEROPIANE.

Washington, Dec. Professor
Langley's aeroplane was completely
wrecked in the second attempt to sail
it yesterday. The weather conditions
being considered perfect it was de-
cided to give the airship another trial
short distance from Washington
down the Potomac. the result being
the complete wreck of the airshtp.
Everything had been in readiness for
the trial for some days, SO that was
all that was needed for the test was
the right kind of weather.
The aeroplane glided smoothly along
the launching tramWay until the end
Of the tramWay was reached, when on
being left to itself the aeroplane broke
in two and turned completely over,
precipitating Professor Charles M.
ManleY, who was operating it, into the
icy water beneath the tangled mass
A number of launches containing
newspaper men and others Immediate
ly steered for the spot, but before
they could reach Professor Manley,
one of his assistants leaped overheard
and brought him aboard the house
boat on which the launching tramway
was laid.
Professor Langley was present to
witness the test, and appeared crest
fallen when he saw the product OF
months Of study and labor combined
with an enormous expenditure OF
money disappear beneath the water
close to where he was standing aboard
a tug.
