with Santos DumCnt that flying ma,

mon as autos are today. In the neu
war, he is convinced, there will be
battles of fotillas of airships.

the future now has in store for US
Not only will the life OF individuals
be revOlutioniZed. but governments
will be compelled to devise in almost
every department new methods to meet
the changed conditions.
This change will come with amaE
ing suddenness and France is taking
the precaution to meet il. In the Gus
toms service. the present method Of
watching the frontiers will be obs0

service will be entirely confined to

Captain Forber thinks the whole
problem of solution of aerial naviga
ton lies in the question of equili
brium as the principle of aerial
flight, that is of aeria, aeroplane sur
face and speed are now demonstrat
ed. The practical maintenance Of
equilibrium is yet in the experimental
stage and will only be achieved wheT
the present crude and temporary ex
pedients employed by Santos DumOnt
are replaced by cor-ordinating aeria
mechanism which will permit the
operator with an instructive touchr Of
the helm to right his machine wher
1t dips to one side of the other, as
the bicycleist of today maintains his
equilibrium by the instructive inelina
ton OF his body. Captain Forber. has
just completed a series of experiments
to prove that birds are powerless to
fly until they have been taught. Ee
contends that the dominion or ne
air as at present enjoyed by the birds 5
only attained at the result of a slos
process of evolution comparable in
way to slow perfection Ct the presen
means Of human fight.
