By JAMES A. EDGERTON.
ENRI FARMAN, the French aer.
onaut, recently said that with
u In ten years flying machines
would be as common as auto
mobiles. That may seem a trife optl-
mist1c, but is not impossible. The
great step has been taken; men actu-
ally fly. The matter of making ma
chimes for commercial use is now mere
~ question of time.
We do not properly measure the i'm
portance of the event The future will
doubtless class it as the greatest &C.
complishment Of all the marvellous
things done in this age of invention.
What revolutions it will work in trans
portation and in human affairs gener-
ally can now only be dimly surmised.,
The overwhelming fact Is that the
thing Of which men have dreamed
through the ages has been achieved.
The cause has been set in motion. The
fame of it will be told, and the effects
OF 1t will flow out to bless mankind
as long as the world stands.
The United States war department

ship and is now testing the Wright

great planes, which are about forty
feet long, extended like the wings Of
bird. There are two rudders, a hori-
zontal one in front to regulate eleva-
ton and vertical one behind to de-
termine direction. There are two screw
propellers, one to lift and the other to
drive A sixteen horsepower gasoline
engine furnishes the motor power. The
novel part of, the motor is that it has
no carburetter. The speed is regulated
in other ways. The aeroplane starts
from high incline. On it are pair
Of runners, like those Of sled, on
which it alights. It usually sails near
the ground, although it could doubtless
do better higher up, where the air cur
rents are not so turbulent One Of the
brothers says that near the ground the
air Is churned like the rapids at Nj
agara. Every little obstacle on the sur
face Of the earth, such as tree or
house, causes an air current shooting
up to great height The problem of
flying on an aeroplane is that of
equilibrium. It Is the same problem
that is met in riding bicycle, only
infinitely harder. The danger is that
Of being capsized by some unsus-
pected air current The only way to
solve this problem and to overcome.
this danger Is by practice. The Wrights

Sailed Over Vesuvius.

Baldw1n's parachute leaps, beginning

Baldwin has brought several new
inventions into aeronautics. The most
important perhaps is the twin propel-
Ter, consisting Of two propellers run
ming in opposite directions on the same
shaft. This brought about the perfect
balance SO long sought by aeronauts
No less important is his placing the
screw in front of his machine rather
than In the rear, which draws the bal
loon forward into a practical vacuum
Under the old way the vacuum was
created behind and retarded the speed.

Natural inventors.
The Wright brothers are about forty
years Of age. Wilbur. the older, who IS
In France, Is smooth Of face and bald.
Orvtlle, who Is now at Fort Myer, is
about four years younger, wears
slight mustache and Is just saved from
badness by little tuft of hair on the
top of his head. Both brothers are tall
and slight, both are precise, scientific,
reticent and almost cold in manner,
and neither apparently cares for mon
ey or fame. They are natural invent
ors, having learned wood engraving
while mere boys and having construct
ed printing press out Of a little old
rubber, some cord wood, part Of bug
gy top and few other odds and ends
picked up in the back yard at home.
Then the bicycle craze came along,
and they started a bicycle repair shop
and from this went into the untried
and uncertain field Of airship tnven-
ton. At first they tried to work with
the aeroplane, of which the world is
already acknowledging them to be the
practical inventors. They have work
ed wholly with their own money.
Captain Thomas s. Baldwin, who has
already met the test and sold his dirig-
1ble balloon, the California Arrow No.
10, to the United States government,
is an older man and a much older
aeronaut than either Of the Wright
brothers. Captain Baldwin invented
the modern parachute, in which he
made the first public descent He has
made innumerable balloon ascensions
all over the world. Before he entered
this field be was a circus performer
and tight rope walker. It was he who
caused the world to gasp by walking
a wire high over the pounding pillows
OF the ocean at the old Cliff House, San
Francisco. -...-.
The Baldwin airship Is entirely diff
ferent in principle from the Wright
brothers aeroplane The California
man depends on the lighter than air
style Of machine. His balloon Is
shaped like long, fat cigar. Under
this is light frame, fitted with mo-
tor, rudder, propeller and kite attach
ments for maintaining equilibrium.
One point in which Baldwin's ship diff
fers from others is that he has his pro-
peller in front, depending on a pull
rather than a push. In the machine
sold to the government two men can
ride, one to run the airship and the
other to take observations. The United
States officers were exceedingly graft
fed by the tests. After turning the
balloon over to the government Cap
tain Baldwin instructed two army
men in its navigation, Lieutenant
Lahm, already famous as an aeronaut,
being placed In control Officers of
the army will now ask congress for
a million dollar appropriation for
balloon brigade. It will doubtless take
congress about ten years to see it and
catch up with the procession, but
eventually it will come around.
Thomas Scott Baldwin, the inventor,
not only made the first public leap in
modern parachute, but made the
first successful American airship
flight which took place at Oakland,
CAL, on Aug. 2, 1904. He then drove
his balloon directly In the teeth Of a
wind, feat that he has accomplished
often since.
