and 1ofne other money from special fund
In the Smithsonian Institution has all been
spent In making experiments and In
constructing this machine, which still re-
mains to be tested. Personally. I think the
expenditure may be one of the most profit
able Uncle Sam has ever made, although
perhaps a quarter of the amount already
spent viii have to be added to repair the
aerodrome and to construct new launching
arrangements which will enable 1t to start
out upon its voyage through the air.
A Talk With Mr.. Langley.
asked Mr.. Langley to give me the rea-
sons for the failures of last fall. He re-
piled:
There have been no failures as far as the
actual test of the flying capacity Of the
machine is concerned. Tt has never been
in the air and has not had chance to show
what it will do. The difficulty so far has
been with the launching, where we least ex-
pected 1t. and where we had reasons TO
believe that our conditions were perfect.
The launching is a very serious matter In
aerial navigation. how serious was not I'M

of this when l launched an exact MODEL OF
this large machine upon a successful fight
shortly before the other trials were mace,
and was surprised to find that the same
arrangements would not work as well with
the great aerodrome. The front platform
OF its ways drops down in the launch

this was the immediate cause CT the trou-
ble."
Why the Big Aerodrome Did Not Fly.
Here is photograph of the machine on
the launching stage" continued Mr.. Lang
ley as he showed me a snap shot taken by
the photographer of the institution shortly
before the trial "Our idea was that the
engine on the flying machine would carry
1t off into the air and that it would leave
the launching stage unimpaired and unin-
jured On the contrary. part of the ma
chine was caught Is it went forward by the
falling platform. This pulled the machine
down before 1t got into the air, at the
same time twisting one of the wings en-
tirely out of shape, as you may see from

Mr.. Smillie at the time. The twisting

Fascinating Bucharest.
Tian in Saturday Review.

Herbert Vivian in Saturday Review.
Though all Bucharest is modern, we find
the old eastern methods Of mercantile con-
struction-little open cupboards lining the
read, dealers squatting among their wares,
literally at the receipt of custom, for
they make no effort to invite it, and the
various trades huddle together; here an
armory Of rude pottery, richest green and
richest red; there an arsenal of thick
leathern sandals. a heavy patch of burnt
lumber; yonder an avenue of black sheep
skin caps set out upon brass stands In
appearance like peasants heads after q
massacre. Out in the streets are high
hillocks Of golden grain. pyramids of pump
kins and blazing piles of scarlet chillies.
At intervals little congregations wait with
laughing philosophy until they shall be
hired-builders with their hods, laborers
with their spades, all with the emblems OF
their toll. Bucharest may be summed up
as city of pleasures and palaces. a me-
tropolis of perpetual carnival, temple Of
boisterous 1oviality. Her engaging people
combine the color. the grace and the hos
pitable instincts of the east with the COM
fort and convenience of the west; every In
slant spent among them yields a Quint-
essence OF life and JOY and warmth and
color.

of this wing threw the machine out
of balance and helped to dash it down
into the water. You might as well expect
a bird to maintain itself In the air with 8
broken wing as flying machine, which
relies upon its wings to steady it, to fly
when one of those wings Is twisted or
broken. The result was that the machine
went into the water carrying the Intrepid

DOMESTIC SERVANTS IN RUSSIA.

ing been carried out.
Vast Pleasure Grounds.
Pleasure grounds on a vast scale had
been planned by the builders for the royal
tenant. These have now been put to good
use for the hotel. A tennis court. under
the shade of subtropical trees: a golf
courses, on the battlefield itself, and swim
ming baths-aT these will be ready for the
summer season.
RI Few places could appeal more to the lover
of history. On the heights of Bussaco
British and Portuguese soldiers fought and
fell together, comrades to the death. A
chapel has been raised on that acre or
ground, just beyond the hotel precincts,
where, in one common grave, the dead of
both nations were buried after the battle.
1t has been set aside and rallied in as a
memorial. Night and day guard of honor
Keeps ward there, and never for a moment
is the sentinel of the dead withdrawn.
Higher the hill there is an obelisk
raised, not for the dead, but a triumphant
remembrance Of victory. There. again, a
special guard is maintained by Portugal to
render perpetual military honor.
A Restful Spot. .I
Bussaco is restful little community, 1t
is as self-enshrined today as 1t was in the
olden time when none but the Carmelites
trod its sacred slopes. .F ,
For sacred they were. To this day there
is a marble tablet on the wall of the old
main entrance. which bears papal bull
promulgated by Gregory XIV in 1922 anath-
ematizing any invasion of the property of
the monks and absolutely forbidding wo-
men to approach "the sacred forest"
