 Lessons from Lilienthal.
 We figured that Lilienthal had in five years time spent only five hours Tn the air, yet Lilienthal. with this brief practice, was remarkably successful in meeting the fluctuations and eddles or wind gusts. It seemed feasible to prac- tise by the hour instead of the second bv building a machine which would be
 sustained at speed of eighteen miles an hour and then finding a locality where winds of this velocity were common. With these conditions rope attached to the machine to keep it from floating back with the wind would give us the same re- suits as If we had machine driven lor- ward by a motor in a calm.
 We found. according to the accepted Lilienthal tables of air pressure on curved surfaces. that we would need machihe spreading two hundred square feet and that winds of the sort we wished were common along the Atlantic coast. When the winds were low 1t was our plan 10 glide from the sand hills.
 "After much study we concluded that tails of size were an impediment Also
 1t seemed reasonable that if the body of the operator could be placed horizontally only one square foot instead of five would

 .'Then the Method Of control used by
 Ijlienthal, which consisted in shifting the

 enough, so after long study we contrived

ing wings, (2) those relating to the gene ration and application of the power re- qulred to drive the machine through the air, and (0 those which relate to the bal anctng and steering of the machine after 1t is actually in flight
 "As long ago as 1893 a machine weighing 5000 pounds demonstrated it's power to lift itself from the ground and to maintain a speed of from thirty to forty miles per hour. but came to grief in an accidental free flight owing to the inability of the operators to balance and steer properly
 Herr Otto Lilenthal seems to have been the first man who really comDre- hended that balancing was the first in- stead Of the last in importance of the problems. He built pair of wings Of size suitable to sustain his own weight and used gravity as a motor-a very cheap experimental motor.
 Herr Lilienthal was followed bv Mr Pitcher, young English engineer and by MT. Chanutn president of the Society of Western Engineers. A few others have built machines, but nearly all that is of real value is due to the experiments con. ducted under the direction of the three men mentioned. The first two gave their lives.

Kitty Hawk. There were three sand dunes on our experimental grounds wor- thy of the names of hills-Kill Devil, West and Little Hill. Our 1902 pattern, which was practically the continuation of all our experiments. was the same dou- ble decked pattern we had used. and 1t was used in our last successful trial with A motor a few weeks ago. '..--
 'a'rhere were two surfaces, thirty-two feet from tip to tip. made of straight grained spruce, for, frame and cloth. air proofed, for covering. with a spread of S05 square feet. a frcnt rudder. with a spread of fifteen square feet and yerti- cal tail twelve feet square, at, that time fixed. but since reduced in size and made mobile. The total weight, to which the motor and gear must now be added, was then I16 1-2 pounds, to which must also be added, the weight of the operator, rom 150 to 16O pounds.
 ''On the second day the machine was taken to the big hill' and regular gliding was commenced. The wind was some what brisk. In one flight the wind strucK the machine from the left and began nit- ing the left wing ip a decidedly alarming fashion. Owing to the fact that in the new machine changes had been made in inc mechanisms operating the rudders. so
  ed. it was necessary to think moment before proceeding to make the proper ad- justment.
 Meanwhile the left wing was rising higher and higher therefore decided to hiring the machine to the ground as qmcA- lv as possible, but in my confusion forgot the change thii had been made In the front rudder, and ipstinctively turned II tha wrong way. Almost instantly 1t reared m as though bent on mad attempt to pierce inc heavens But after a moment it seemed to perceive the folly of such ar undertaking and gradually slowed up til it came to q dead stop, with the from pointing skyward.
 Making Landing.
 By this time I had recovered myself and reversed the rudder to its fullest ex tent at the same time climbing upward toward the front. so as to bring my weight to bear on the part that was to' high. Under this heroic treatment tn machine turned downward and soon began to gather headways again By the tim the ground was reached it was under fNl control. but as one wiring touched frs 1t swung around in landing and cam to rest with the wing blowing in from tn rear. There was no unusual shock i landing and no damage at all resulted As result of this we drew the tips 0 the wings down some six inches lowe than the center.
 After several days rain we had an other opportunity for trial. On this oc casion my brother Orville did most of tn gliding. After few preliminary flight

peared that the total horizontal pull of 1 the machine while sustaining weight of i fifty-twa pounds. was only S.5 pounds. which was less than had previously been l estimated for the resistance of the head ] framing alone. 5O per cent. less than Cha
 nute's final estimate.
 "On the other hand it appeared deti-
 cient in lifting power This deficiency we supposed might be due to one or more of the following causes: O That the , depth of the curvature of our surfaces was insufficient. being only one In twen- ty-two, instead of one in twelve; @ that the cloth used in our wings was not suf- | iciently airtight; (3) that the Lillenthal | tables might themselves be in error. We
 decided to arrange our machine for the | next year SD that the depth of curvature l of its surfaces could be varied ait will and its covering airproofed.
 We then turned our attention to glid- | ing from the top of Kill Devil hill sand | dune about one hundred feet high. All l though landings were made while moving
 at speeds of more than twenty miles per
 hour. neither machine nor operator suf- | fered injury. The control of the machine
 proved even better than we had expect | ed responding quickly to the slightest motion of the forward rudder. With these gIides our experiments for the year 1900 | closed
 The Machine of 1901. . | When it came to building our machine | for 1901 we decided. to make it like the previous machine in theory, but we in | creased the size from 165 square feet to | sos square feet The curvature of the sur | face was increased to one in twelve. The | machine was completed on July 27 and l tried in wind blowing thirteen miles per hour. An attempt to glide was made | but the machine went d short distance | and turned into the ground without ln- | iurv. The operator took a position fur | finer in the rear to set back the centre
 of gravity and the machine sailed SC0 | yards easily.
 After a long series of successful glides
 and experiments, we returned from Kitty Hawk and took up experiments in our | laboratory to ascertain the amount or pressure on curved surfaces with a NleW l to approximating the motor power neces- sarv. It was calculated that at q speed of twenty four miles per hour the total | horizontal resistance of our machine l when hearing the operator. amounted to | forty hounds which is equivalent to two | and one-third horse power.
