chanlcal devices now which are superior
to the devices used by nature in human
beings and animals, and I do not see
why we may not put together a con-
trivance which will at least be equal to
the machine and brain of the bird
So, if man-hight is such an easy mat
ter as Mr. Edison makes it out to be,
why have we not been navigating the
air these many years? For one thing,
we have only recently, in our attempts
to fly, left off trying to be original and
endeavored to copy the bird, the handi-
work of nature. 1t is a significant fact
that only since we have looked to the
bird for the secret of fight has there
been built a machine with an indisput-
able record of flying ever so small a
distance Only since we have begun to
initiate the bird have the wise men be-
come convinced that we will yet fly.
And some day-some day-ah, who
would not like his name to go rolling
down the ages as the inventor of the
first machine to demonstrate beyond the
shadow of a doubt. the complete con-
quest of the air by man?
Though man, when he flies, will fly
like the birds, it does not necessarily
follow that the flying machine, on ac-
count of its structure, might be taken
for some long surviving antideluvian in
habitant of the air. Indeed, not a few
scientists who have been busy with aero
nautics declare that, once man has dis
covered the principle of flight, his won
derful ingenuity will enable him to con-
struct a machine that will incorporate
the principle and at the same time have
nothing about it resembling wings in the
slightest degree. Propellors there will
be, and rudder, doing the work of
wings and tail. But it will be fight
without wings-and we have been
taught from childhood that even the
angels need wings to fly. Other scien-
fists, however, believe that there will be
great planes, two or more, mechanically
worked like wings, in conjunction with
propellors and rudder.
Again, in their perfected state, pro-
pellors and rudder will do more than
to give flight. Once more man will i'm
prove on nature, and the mechanisms of
his ingenuity will drive the good air ma
chine through gales that the strongest
bird could not face, will keep it Sc
renely on its course, while birds,
caught in the swirling, clashing, battling
currents, will be hurtled miles out of
Free press., 1906-09-29

their path, to be brought up bruised and
torn in the friendly foliage of some
strange country.
Will the shell of the machine be of
steel? Certainly of that or some other
material equally strong, and, like steel,
many times heavier than the air it dis
places.
The shape of the machine? Probably
that of birds body-a huge, torpedo
like structure, with one nose pointed and
the other blunted somewhat. The artists,
taking their cue from the scientists,
have been picturing it thus for several
years now.
What will drive it? Motors of we'll
nigh miraculous power, and many times
lighter in weight than machinery cap
able of such power could now be built,
just as the automobile motor of to-day
is infinitely lighter than the motor of
only few years ago even, and the
mighty engines of the modern ocean
greyhound" are lighter than the weak
lings of fifty odd years ago.
And the motors will revolve the pro-
pellers so astonishingly fast that flight
will be born of this very rapidly Of
motion, offering resistance to the air:
and flight will be sustained by it, as In
the case of the bird, and as was the case
for short time with Prof. Langleys
aerodrome.
How fast will we travel? The wild
goose, with brain much smaller in pro-
portion than mans, has a speed, in full
flight, of from two hundred to three
hundred miles an hour. Surely we will
not journey through the air at less than
this speed, we who are the brains of
the universe! A mile every sixteen or
twelve seconds, the Atlantic crossed in
single night, an after-1unch and be-
fore-dinner trip between New York and
Chicago, run of minutes merely from
the metropolis to the Hub
What will give life to the driving ma
chinery? There is wide diversity of
opinion, but all are agreed that its bulk
will be very small, its weight light, and
little will go very long way. Per
haps, say the most daring, man, as he
flies, will snatch the necessary electric
power from space, and in his air con-
veyances there will be nothing to re-
semble the giant fuel bunl1ers of thee

of us have come to say, with a regret
full shake of the head, Owe will
never fly"
Right here, up steps the greatest
wizard of his day, Thomas A. Edison,
to say that man ought to be ashamed
of himself for not having solved the
problem, in all its phases, long ago.
81 was down in Florida, and one day
I watched a big bird-I think it was a
vulture-that foated about in the air a
whole hour without moving its wings
perceptibly When God made that bird
He gave it machine to fly with, but
He didn't give it much else. He gave the
bird a very small brain with which to
direct the movements of the machine,
but He gave to man a much larger
brain in proportion to that of the bird. %
All this is paraphrased in the one word
"Shame"
Here" says Edison of the vuIture,
"is a natural flying machine which is a
thousand times as heavy as the air it
displaces. There is nothing but ma
chine and small brain, and it is not
a very remarkable machine, either" And
then in se1f-evident disgust: "Why is it
that man cannot make flying machine
as efficient as bird?
"A lot of people say that it was never
meant that man should fly, that if ma
ture had intended such thing man
would have been provided with the
necessary machinery in his body, such as
is now possessed by the bird. But you
might as well say that it was never
intended that man should ever have any
light asiJe from the sun and the moon
and stars which were originally pro-
vided for him, or that he should not
move about faster with the aid of
wheels because no wheels were supplied
to him by nature"
Through further study of the bird and
its method of fight man will discover
how to fly, says Mr.. Edison, and all
others who have given the subject any
serious thought agree with him fully.
But, Mr.. Edison adds, somewhat para
doxicaliy, he who solves the problem of
flight Nwill find out nothing new. Pow
erful motors of wonderful conpactness
will be applied to framework of ex-
treme lightness, and that will be all there
is TO it
Doubtless this framework will be
something similar to the physical struc-
ture of a bird. I do not believe it will
be difficult, because we have many me-

glided on an inclined plane forward
through the air, recovered itself and
glided again. Though the public has not
yet seen it in action, there are many
trustworthy men who have testified to
having beheld the flying machine of the
Wright brothers, of Ohio, gliding
through the air like a bird. Any scien-
tist who has paid any attention what
ever to aeronautics will tell you that
Pitchers gliding machine acts in the air
just like a bird in fight. And there
are others
Like bird in gliding fight have they
travelled overhead for varying distances
No bag of gas lifted them in the air
and kept them suspended therein, while
a motor or an engine of some sort fur
nished driving power to a propeller, as
in the case of the Santos Dumont and
other airships. Like bird they have
sailed, remained in the air by reason of
their own initiative, the power furnished
by motors or engines causing the me-
chanisms to offer the necessary bird-like
resistance to the air, with the result of
actual fight
But, alas, because we do not yet pos
sess the full knowledge of the principle
of flight, as does the meanest of birds
and flying insects. those flying machines
which have justified their name, in part
at least, have been wont to play queer
tricks at the most inopportune moments
on their inventors and an anxiously
watching and waiting world. And so,
though the greatest ambition OF the
world to-day seems to be to fly, many
Free press., 1906-09-29

Will we yet fly through the air as
easily as we flash across the continent
by rail to-day, many times more quickly, |
and far more prohtably and economi-
cally, too?
The wise men of the civilized portions |
of the world are now pretty generally |
agreed that we will. A few decades ago
they were not. Since then, in the nat
ural march of events, several things
have happened to cause them to face
about, and it would surprise none to
wake up to-morrow-next week-next
year, to the certain knowledge that man
is flying at last.
"Impossible" !" you exclaim in tones
that SAVIOR of disgust at such vision
That is the very word the great body
of people employed when, at one time or
another, a single man, or, at least, small
body of men, were firm in the belief
that we would yet sail by steam, send
messages by dots over wires actually
talk over wires, ride in horseless car
riages, send and receive messages over
thousands of miles of space without the
aid, even, of intervening wires! And
this is the word that a great many of
us let rise to our lips when we hear a
learned man, orthodox in all things
else, solemnly declare that we will
yet fly.
Fly, not float, mind you.
We can float in the air now. The
trick is nothing. We have been float
ing in the air, 10! these many decades
past. The balloon is a floating bag,
merely.
This is true of both the dirigible and
non-dirigible types. In each case the
thing that gets the balloon up in the
air and keeps it suspended there is gas.
Gas, as every one knows, is substance
lighter than air, and so it is capable,
when used in sufficient quantity, to float
the silken cloth the ropes, the woven
basket, and whatever else goes into the
makeup of the contraption we call a
balloon
But the invention that is to give us
the mastery of the now uncharted high
ways of the air will travel along these
very highways on its own initiative. It
will be an active. not a passive, So
journer in the realm of overhead
In this feature it will be like unto the
bird, and again, like the bird, it will
be heavier, many times heavier, than the
air itself. A vulture's body is a thou
sand times heavier than the air it dis

places; the machine in which man will
prove to the world the complete prac-
ticability and utility of air travel will
be-who knows how many hundred times
heavier than the substance filling the un-
seen and boundless sea through which it
will shoot with speed outrivalling the
homing pigeons, with the steadiness and
docility of an old family horse?
And our flight through space will be
in conscious imitation of the flights of
the birds
Every bird, every flying thing, flies be-
cause its fight is based upon the resist
ance offered to the air by its wings
In other words, we shall never attain
flight by merely displacing air, as we do
when floating in the straight out bal

| loon or the so-called airship of to-day.
Further, we will fly as does the pigeon.
1t, in full flight, raises itself by each
of its rapid wing beats, an almost i'm
perceptible distance, and shoots forward
between each flap along a plane of very
slight inclination, downwards by just the
amount the wing beat raises it, and for
wards a considerable distance-the re-
suit being rapid flight
Our flight, then, will be a gradual
gliding down an inclined plane and a
constant recovery by upshoots. In some
forms of flight these two actions occur
almost simultaneously. So will they in
the perfected flying machine, insuring a
delightful sense of safety to the passen-
ger, nonchalantly defiant of the law of
gravitation, he knowing full well the ma
chimes ability constantly and arbitrarily
to correct the position of the center of
gravity, bird fashion, thus insuring
permanent stability in the air
The wisest of men declare all this !;
still, you say, dream-a phantasma-
goria of the brain?
Surely not when man has already
flown in or flown machines as the pigeon
flies.
