FINE TABLE DAINTY
THE PREPARATION AND SERVING
OF cRoouETTEs.
First, the Sauce Must Be Of Proper
Thickness-Care Necessary In
the Shaping Of Popular
Luncheon Delicacy.

The foundation of all croquettes 10 q
thick white sauce which stiffens when
cold, SO that mixed with the minced
fish, chicken or other compounds 1t
can be easily handled and shaped into
pears, cylinders or ovals. When cooked
the croquettes should be soft and
creamy inside.
To make the sauce, scald in a dou-
BILE boiler one pint rich milk or cream.
Melt in a granite saucepan two even
tablespoonfuls butter, then add two
heaping tablespoonfuls cornstarch or
four even tablespoonfuls -four.
When blended add one7third Of the
hot cream, and keep stirring as II
cooks and thickens. When perfectly
smooth put in all the cream. The
sauce should be very thick. Add the
seasoning, a half teaspoonful salt, a
half teaspoonful celery salt, and white
pepper or paprika to taste, then the
meat.
Some cooks like to add beaten egg
just rs the sauce is taken from the
fire.
In shaping croquettes take about a
Tablespoonful of the mixture and, han
ding gently and carefully, press into
whatever form Is desired Have a
board sprinkled with fine bread crumbs

ficient to break them. Let them lie on
the board until all are finished. Have
ready some beaten eggs lightly sailed,
brush the croquette with this 30 as to
coat 1t entirely, then roll again in the
crumbs and continue until all are
egged and crumbed. Fry in deep, hot
fat, a few at time, then drain on
paper.
Chicken Croquettes.-For chicken
eroquettes make a pint of thick, white
sauce. Have ready half pound of
chicken chopped fine and seasoned
with celery salt, pepper, chopped pars-
ley and little onion juice. When the
sauce Is done add one beaten egg and
the chicken, making the croquettes as
soft as can be handled. Spread on q
platter to cool, then shape and cook
as directed. A little veal can be added
to the chicken, or mushrooms, calls
brains or sweetbreads.
Fish Croquettes.-To two cupfuls Of
finely chopped fish add one cupful Of
cream sauce, tablespoonful each Of
mustard and salt and little cayenne

some automatic system of balancing.
We believe that the control should be
left to the operator. The sense Of equi.
librium Is very delicate and certain.
II you lie upon bed three-quarters of
an inch out Of true, you know 1t at
once. And this sense Of equilibrium Is
just as reliable mile above the earth
as It Is on 1t.
1.-THE management of our aeroplane
like that Of the bicycle, Is based upon
the sense Of equilibrium of the opera
tor. The mechanism for preserving
the balance Of the machine consists of
levers operated by simple uniform
movements which readjust the flying
surfaces Of the machine to the air.
The movement of these levers very
soon becomes automatic with the avi-
ator, as does the balancing of bicy-
Gle rider. and simpler to operate than
a bicycle. In fact, the aeroplane Is
easier to learn. In all our experiments
with gliding and flying machines, we
have not even sprained a limb; we
have scarcely scratched our flesh"

But II these two experimenters have

decessors have not Among the first
to undertake the task of demonstrate
ing that a mechanical flying machine
is possible was Otto Lillienthal, Ger
man mechanical engineer. He made
study of the fight of birds and event
ually concluded that very little was
known of the laws which govern the
flight of the feathered tribe. He be-

like those of soaring birds.
Equipped with these, he sailed down
hill sides into valleys. After series
Of more than 1000 flights one Of his

Il ton, o.. appear to have
at last conquered the ele-
ments which have so long baffied the
ingenuity Of man, and aerial naviga-
ton, so long regarded as fascinating
absurdity, now seems to be very much
OF a practical reality. says writer in
the New York Times
Aside from the triumph Of the long
and apparently easily controlled fight,
the most important item contained In
the news dispatches from Mantou, N.
c., where the brothers have been con-
Quoting their experiments, Is the state
ment that the aeroplane not only car
ried both men, but carried them in a
sitting position. The earlier aeroplane
OF these inventors carried but one
aviator, and 1t was necessary for him
to be prone upon his stomach.
The significance of the statement lies
in the apparent fact that the inventors
have at last succeeded In overcoming
the real problem Of mechanical flight
the problem of equilibrium. Aero
planes that would support their opera
tors have previously been tested. En-
gines Of sufficient lightness to propel
them through the air at a sufficient
speed and to carry their own weight
and that Of the operators have also
been successfully tried. There have
been plenty Of aeroplanes that would

tial, and undiscovered thing was an
airship that would not capsize when
the wind was blowing.

Or quotes the Wright brothers as as

difficulty of mechanical flight-that
the great problem-the problem Of

will be the supporting surface nec
essary, and wings for high speeds will
naturally be very small. Not only will
less support be needed, but the size
must be reduced to reduce the fric
ton Of the air"
Fearful Only Of capsIze.
Although one of the brothers had an
ugly fall only a few days ago. they
both maintain that the only danger
to be apprehended from an aeroplans
is the danger Of capsize A break
down, or a sudden stopping Of the en-
CINE, they say-and they certainly
should know-does not entail disas
ter, as on the first thought 1t might
appear. Their explanation Is that
while the aeroplane is supported In
the air through It's own motion
through 1t, yet gravity furnishes all
the energy that is needed to get
safely to the ground. When the
power is shut off it merely scales
through the air to its landing. Theo-
retically, 1t Is safer at a mile above
the earth than at 200 feet, because II
has a wider choice Of places in which
to land; you can choose your land
ing from 256 square miles from a
mile above ,he surface II descending
one in sixteen. "As a matter of fact
they said. we always shut of the
power when we start to alight, and
come down by the force of gravity.
We reach the ground at so slight an
angle and 80 lightly that 1t is impos-
sible for the operator to tell by his
own sensation within several yards
of where the ground was first actu-
ally touched.
1--WE feel that It is absolutely essen
tial for us to keep our method Of con
troll secret. We could patent many
points in the machine, and it is posi-
BILE that we could make a success Of
the invention commercially. We have
been approached by many promoters
on the matter. But we believe that
our best market Is to sell the ma
chine to some government for use in
war. To do this 1t is necessary for
us to keep its construction an abso-
lutte secret"
To the same writer the brothers
made the interesting statement that
they did not expect the aeroplane ever
to displace the railroad or the steam

boat. They predict that its chief
value will be in war time, when 1t
may be employed for dropping sxplo-
sives upon an enemy or for recon
noitering purposes. In this connec-
ton may be added ths fact that the
navy department has PLANNED an ex-
tensive series of experiments with
dirigibles, the purpose being to dis
cover their availability for war usage.
Those who advocate the employment
of these machines point out the fact
that flying machines sailing over q
feet are immune from any attack
save that of small arm fire, and that
they could attain height so great as
to be out of range from these smaller
weapons. There IL no type of larger
gun now carried on shipboard that il
capable of such extreme elevation. OF
course 1t would be essily possible to
construct a gun mount that would per-

We had worked out Q NV method
Of practice With gliding machines
they explained. "Lillienthal and Cha,
mute had obtained their experience In
flying with the operators launching
himself from hill and gliding down
on to lower land. This involved car.
rying back their apparatus. after q
short flight, to the top Of the hill
again. Because of the difficulties OF
this awkward method. although Lii.
lienthai had made over 1000 flights,
We calculated that in all his five years
of experiment he could not have been
actually practicing flying more than
FIVE hours-far too short for the ordi-
nary man to learn to ride a bicycle.
1t was our plan to follow the example
of soaring birds, and find place
where we could be supported by
strong rising winds.
"A bird is really an aeroplane. The
portions Of its wings near the body
are used as planes Of support, while
the more flexible parts outside, when
tapped, act as propellers. Some of the
soaring birds are not much more than
animated sailing machines. A buzzard
can be safely kept in an open pen 30
feet across and ten feet high. He
cannot fly out of It, In fact, we know
from observation made by ourselves
that he cannot fly for any distance up
grade Of one to six.
"Yet these birds sailing through the
air are among the commonest sights
through great section of the country.
Every one who has been outdoors has
seen buzzard or hawk soaring;
every one who has been at sea has
seen the gulls sailing after steam
ship for hundreds of miles with scarce
ly movement of the wings. All Of
these birds are doing the same thing
they are balancing on rising cur
rents Of air. The buzzards and hawks
find the currents blowing upward of
the land; the gulls that follow the
steamers from New York to Florida
are merely sliding down hill thou
sand miles on rising currents in the
wake of the steamer in the atmos-
phere, and on the hot air rising from
her smokestacks."
Think Great Speed Possible.
The brothers believe that the event
ual speed of the aeroplane will be
easily 60 miles an hour, and may be

Thus, the real question OF the flying
machine is bow to keep 1t from turn
ing over.
-. Air In Constant Turmoil.
/ 1.-THE chief trouble" the brothers ex-
planned, is the turmoil Of the air.
The common impression is that the
atmosphere runs in comparatively reg
,ular currents which we call winds.
No one who has not been thrown about
on a gliding aeroplane-rising or fall
ing ten, 20 or even 30 feet In few
seconds-can understand how utterly
wrong this idea Ii. The air along
the surface Of the earth, as a
matter of fact, 10 continually churn-
ing. II is thrown upward from every
irregularity, like sea breakers on a
coast hne; every hill and tree and
building sends up a wave or slanting
current. And It moves not directly
back and forth upon its coast line,
like the sea, but in whirling rotary
masses. Some 'of these rise up hun
dreds Of yards. In fairly strong
wind the air near the earth Is more
disturbed than the whirlpools Of Nj
agara.
1.-THE problem of mechanical fight
Is how to balance in this moving fuid
which supports the flying machine; or.
technically speaking, how to make the
center of gravity coincide with the
oenter OF air-pressure. The wind often
veers several times second. quicker
than thought, and the center of pres
sure changes with II. 1t Is as diff
cult to follow this center Of pressure
as to keep your finger on the flicker
ing blot of light from prism swing
ing in the sun.

there Is certain point of speed be-
yond which the air resistance makes
It impossible to 90. Just what that Is
experiment will determine. Every
year gas engines are being made
lighter-a fact which will increase the
surplus carrying power Of the machine
available for fuel and operator and
heavier construction, but at present
60 miles an hour can be counted on
for the flying machine. This, of
course. means speed through the
air.
The aeroplane running go miles an
hour will have surplus lifting power
enough to carry fuel for long jour
neys. Our 1907 machine will carry
gasoline enough to fly 500 miles at a
rate Of some so miles an hour. We
can. and possibly soon will, make q
one-man machine carrying gasoline
enough to go 1000 miles at 40 miles
an hour. Moreover. any machine made
to move at speeds up to 60 miles an
hour can be operated economically at
cost Of not much over one cent a
mile for gasoline.
There is no question that a man
can make lighter and more efficient

for instance. can DO produced offer

The reason for this fact is that 4
