NEW PRINCIPLE
IS-DISCOYERED
Heavier : Than Air Machines
for Aerial Navigation Ex-
peCted to Solve Problem.

Paris. Oct. ga new principle of aerial
navigation with heavier than-air ma
chimes has been employed in some recent
experiments and gives promise of large
results Instead of using planes on the
box kites principle, driven by vertical
propeller, as is the case in the aeroplanes
of Santos Dumont and other experiment.
ors up to this time, rotary horizontal
planes are used. In other words, the
gyroscopic principle is employed and the
machine is called the gyroplane. The
theory is that by employment Of hori-
zontal propeilers the machine can be cas-
lily lifted and lowered after the fashion
of the old ''helicoptre" toy, longitudinal
motion being obtained by the forces of
gravitation by allowing the machine to
dip and glide on its planes in the same
way that heavy birds soar.
ST. Andrews Cross.
Count De Lambert believes that this
is the true solution of aerial flight, but
the honor of constructing the first ma
chine on this principle belongs to Louis
Breguet. He has built a machine in the
general form % a Saint Andrews cross,
each arm having at its extremity eight
revolving paddles or propellers, slightly
inclined. These thirty-two paddles pre-
sent total surface of twenty-five square
metres and are revolved by a forty
horsepower motor at the center of the
cross, where the pilot sits. The total
weight of the machine is 57S Kilograms.
In the preliminary trials the machine left
the ground instantly when the motor was
set in motion and was easily sustained in
the air with seventy-eight revolutions a
minute. When the motor was Slowed
down the gyroplane descended gently.
Perfect equilibrium was maintained
Longitudinal flight has not yet been at
tempted, but the inventor thinks 1t will
be easy to make seventy-ffve kilometres
an hour.

were not needed, and, according tc
Miss Gray, sat on the fence and

The attack is the outgrowth of

her conduct in school was not up to
