Students of mechanical fight shortly at
terward paused to behold at last a vehicle
which could mount the air to great height
and carry human freight long distances.
Somewhat extravagant suggestions Of an
airship on the balloon principle had been
first made by Roger Bacon, the celebrated
English philosopher of five centuries ago,
who proposed "a large, hollow globe of
copper to be "filled with ETHEREAL air or
LIQUID fire and then launched from some
elevated point into the atmosphere" About
four centuries later Francis Lana, a Jesuit,
had further proposed to prepare four hol-
low globes of thinnest copper, each twenty
feet in diameter and suspendng boat for
the aeronaut. But during the stormy days
just preceding the French revolution there
dwelt at Avignon Stephen Montgolfier, who
had observed that light paper bag filled
with smoke would rise in the air. He con-
Guided that if the bag were made large
enough it would not only rise of itself, but
lift one or more men. SO he and his brother
Joseph set to work to experiment with sew
eral large paper envelopes in the shape of
the "balloon''-a shert-necked vessel used

chinery was devised about 1920 by Rufus
Porter an American, who built it as model
about 1888. 1t was cigar-shaped and driven
passengers was exhibited in New York and
Washington about 1S35-4O. The newspapers
described it as flying rapidly. In 1852 Henri
Giffard, a Frenchman, attached to cigar
shaped balloon, IA feet long, a 462-pound
steam engine which drove the propeller,
and in 1884 Tissandier, another Frenchman
was the first to use an electric motor for
propelling balloons. The value Of Siderable
balloons for warfare was at once recognized
by the French war department, which in
1885 built the first navigable war balloon,
La France whose 1,174-pound electric
motor drove it fourteen miles an hour. But
with the advent of the automobile came
motors more and more compact.
In 1900 Count Zeppelin built his monster
dirigible balloon 42Ox39 feet with 81 horse
power gasoline motor. Then came Santos
Dumont, who has shown to the Parlslans
his ten or dozen dirigible balloons driven
by compact gasoline motors. In one OF
these he circled the Eiffel Tower on July
r. 1901, and since then has performed many
feats well known to the public. His great
est rival in the perfection Of dirigible bal
looms has been M. Julliot, who built the
"Lebaudy" airship containing $1,000 cubic
feet Of gas and 40-horsepower engine, the
whole airship weighing 500 pounds. The
French government, assured of the success
Of this dirigible balloon, has just completed
what Is almost a duplicate, and is said to
have ordered fleet Of eight CT ten similar
machines Our army has so far gone no
further than the "kite balloon" bought
some time ago in Germany. M. Julliott, by
the way, has been commissioned to build
the much hera1ded Wellman airShip.
The practicability of the aerodrome with
out buoyant gas was denied by Santos
Dumont during the Langley experiments.
But by 1903 decided reaction against
balloon airships had set in among the aero
| nauts of Paris, who realized that the limit
of their speed had been about reached and

stated. Busbec, ambassador of Ferdinand
l at Constantinople, also speaks of Turk
in that city who attempted to fly.
John Wilkins, bishop of Chester, cefe-
brated English scientist Of two centuries
and a half ago, said: II have heard from
credible testimony that one of our nation
hath succeeded so far in this experiment
that he was able by the help of wings. in
such running pace to step constantly (off
the ground) ten yards at a time This
appears to be the first suggestion Of the
soaring machine, such as used in recent
years by Llienthal, Chanute and the Wright
brothers.
A flight with wings consisting OF four
rectangular surfaces, one at each end of
two rods passing over the shoulders of the
operator, was made by Besnier, a lock-
smith of Sable France, according to the
journal ueS oaNdiS, 1910 beSnier, IL was
further stated, progressively raised himself
from one height to another until he reached
the top of a house, from which he passed
over the neighboring houses. He could thus
cross a river of considerable breadth. His
first pair of wings were purchased by Mr.
Baldwin of Guibre, who was said to have
used them with remarkable success.

that the great gas bags were too unWleldy
too expensive and too much the prey of the
wind About that time the French COM
menced to turn their thoughts to the Lang
ley idea and Santos-Dumont himself made
compromise by reducing the gas In his
machines and adding aeroplanes. And now
he appears on the limelight as the chief dis
ciple and successor of Langley.
From the success of the MontgolherS IN
1888 until the Langley experiments the ad-
vocates of purely mechanical flight did not
lose heart, and the world heard of many
aerodromes which, however, never flew.
Notable among these was the aerial steam
carriage" of one Henson, an EnSlishman,
alleged about 1871 to have invented steam
engine of extreme lightness which was to
wave the machines great bat-like wings,
after it had been launched down an incline
plane. Many Englishmen enthusiastically
believed that Henson had solved the prob
lem of f1ight/without buoyant gas, but the
contrivance never flew.
Our first f1yine machine patent was issued
in 1874 to Muzio Muzzi. an Italian. In the
next fifty years 100 airship patents Were
granted by our government the most re-
markable being that of Wuln, French
man. for propelling balloons with condors
harnessed to a horizontal wheel which was
to be turned by a pilot, according to the
desirable direction.

There should be no forgetting of the fact
that there was no exact science of me-

to the world In 1856 when he commenced
to study the problem there was not even
any reliable literature to aid him. Il went
to work then to find out for myself, and
in my own way, what amount of mechanl-
cal power was requisite to sustain a given
weight in the air and make 1t advance at
a given speed," he once wrote He COM

- ANTOS-DUMONT is the first man to
have performed aerial flight with a
self-propelled machine heavier than
the air which it displaced. He mas
solved a problem which has caused
inventive geniuses to burn the midnight
oil and toss restlessly upon their couches
since centuries before the dawn OF the
Christian era. During three millenniums OF
more ambitious men have broken thelr
hearts and their heads seeking the great
goal which this fearless Brazilian has won
within the past few weeks
Although the balloon is commonly re-
garded as the father of the aerodrome, his
tory bears 1t out that man took up first
the more difficult problems involved in the
latter mechanism. Nature gave to the an
cient inventor the birds of the air as
models after which to build. But the
ancients for many centuries regarded the
ability of feathered creatures to fly as
supernatural gift.
The first mechanical flying machine of
history was the artificial pigeon OF
Archytas, a Greek geometrician, who Hour
ished about 400 years before Christ. The
historian Aulus Gellus says that "Archytas
constructed a wooden pigeon which could
fly by means of mechanical powers and an
aura spirit" This aura, according to the
Greeks, was a force emanatlng from all
living things, which it surrounded like an
atmosphere. Some of our recent inventors
of new religions have applied the term to
what others call animal magnetism" Ac-
cording to fuller descriptions the buoyancy
of Archytas' pigeon was effected by mag
nets, the propelling power only being an
occult force One writer stated that al
though the machine could. fly. ut could not
raise itself up again" If it fell.
During the reign of Nero a man flew
high in the air but lost his life in the
descent according to Antonus Byerlink,
who gave some description of the wings
and apparatus and attributed the violent
death of this pioneer Darius Green to the
fact that his evil genius suddenly became
displeased while he was aloft and suffered
him to fall. This warning appears to have
been effective, for not until the fifteenth
century does history record another actual
flying machine.
An artificial eagle, which flew out to meet
the Emperor Charles V and accompanied
him back to town, is said by several his
torians to have been constructed at Nurem-
burg by Johann Muller, known also as
Regiomontanus-a German bishop, astron-
pmer and mathematician. About the same
