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 car be counted on
for the flying machine. This. OF
course, means speed through h
air.
The aeroplane running 90 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 q
rate OF some so miles an hour. We
can, and possibly soon will, make a
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
a cost OF not much over one cent q
mile for gasoline.
There is no question that a man
can make a lighter and more efficient
wing than a birds. A cloth surface.
for instance, can be produced Offer
ing less surface friction than feathers.
The reason for this fact Is that a
birds wing Ia really a compromise.
1t Is not made for flying only-it must
be folded up and got out OK the way
when the bird Is on its feet, and eff
cheney I'm flying must be sacrificed to
permit this. The wings of aeroplanes
will vary in size according to speed.
A slow machine will require a large
wing, but the faster the speed the less
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"
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 It's chief
value will be In wal time, when II
may be employed for dropping explo-
sives upon an enemy or for recon-
%nOitering purposes, In this connec-
ton may be added the 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 u 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 a height 80 great m
to be out OF range from these smaller
weapons. There Is no type OF larger
gun now carried on %shipboard that IL
capable Of such extreme elevation. OF
course 1t would be easily possible to
construct a gun mount that would per

would you be able to hit one Of these

When firing at a floating target any

dreds Of yards. In q fairly strong
wind the air near the earth Is more
disturbed than the whirlpools Of Nj
agara.
The problem of mechanical flight
Is how to balance in this moving fluid
which supports the flying machine; or,
technically speaking. how to make the
center OF gravity coincide with the
center OF air-pressure. The wind often
veers several times a second, quicker
than thought, and the center Of pres
sure changes with it. 1t il as diff
cult to follow this center Of pressure
as to keep your finger on the flicker
ing blot of light from a prism swing
ing in the sun.
1T has been the common aim OF
e~xperimenters with the aeroplane to
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.
III you lie upon a bed three-Quarters OF
an inch out Of true. you know II at
once And this sense OF equilibrium Is
just as reliable a mile above the earth
as 1t Is on II.
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 a bicy'

ingenuity Of man, and aerial naviga-
ton, 30 long regarded as a fascinating
absurdity. now seems to be very much
of a practical reality. says a writer in
the New York Times.
Aside from the triumph Of the long
and apparently easily controlled flight,
h most important item contained in
the news dispatches from Mantou, N.
c., where the brothers have been con-
Quoting their experiments, is the state
mcnt 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 It was necessary for him
20 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

Of Yale's miserable game against
Brown on Saturday, which resulted in
a tie score.
Haines was shifted from right end
to left, and Hobbs was dropped to the
second team, and Lilley, son of the
Governor-elect of Connecticut, gets his
place. Brown was dropped from right
tackle and Brides moved from right
halfbaek to his place. Field Captain
Coy was moved from fullbaek to
Haines's place at right end. Logan,
left end, was dropped because he Is too
light. Ford johnson replaced Murphy
at quarterback. Fred DAILY took the
place of Brides at right h%alfback, and
Jack Field was assigned to the full
back position. Only the centre trio,
Andrus, Biddle and Goebel, with Left
Halfback Philbin, retained their places.
More changes are expected tomorrow.
Brides's showing was not satisfactory,
and he may be stationed at guard,

Goebel again moved out to tackle.

HIS LONG CAREER.
PAT POWERS WILL KEEP

between officers of the Eastern League
and the American Association, Mr..
O'Brien informed the other minor
leagues of the stand his organization
would take in the fight to boost the
Eastern League and the American As
ISOLATION to a classification one degree
higher than all other minor leagues in
the country. Owing to a promise made
to the Pacific coast League at the time
1t was brought into the organized fold,
the American Association will recon-
mend that the Coast League be permit
ted to maintain an equality with the
Eastern League and the American As
ISOLATION until the present national
agreement expires two years hence.
Mr.. O'Brien advised President Powers,
of the Eastern League, that he would
oppose any further effort to provide
a Glass "A for the Eastern League n
the American Association, as that
would involve a change of the national
agreement, and on that proposition
they have already been defeated. At
the session of the National Board or
Arbitration yesterday afternoon most
of the time was taken up with h al

Captain Carl Baumann, one of the

Raymond Smith, the speedy forward

play his old position. Cavanaugh,
