SAYS 4LL MEN CAN FLY.
DR.. Thomas Hopes to Send UoTId
Skyscdrd bY His InUeHtt0n.

DR.. Julian ?. Thomas. who has made many spec
tacular balloon ascensons. thinks he mas oisCoN
cred means by which. after n few months pao
.ice anv young man will be able 10 ny OF MS o"n
power The aid of a light model motor ouS WIN
be required, according To his idea
Dr. Thomas believes that the day of the oalicoii
IS over. except fer occasional drlfhng t'ips oi
Measure. and he has tprDai his attention TO TIE
DEVELOPMENT Of two types Of aeropalies-ohe ciose-
" initiating a bird whe-c the wing motion Is uSeo'
and the other where rrope,ieTs with surfaces are
employed. Speaking q: his device 1or iAa' ii'eiI
bv his own power. D.. Thomas said yesterday;
Il have proved by practical experiments liia' !
can apply nowe: of 40 pounds twice secoi'u ~
wings Of sufficient size to lift 8 man,
DR.. Thomas has constructed brdlhe apparatus.
The power is applied by means OF ruopeF Oslo
connec.ia;, 18th crank shaft. From TINS crank
shaft a small cord runs to the base OF each wing.
There Is a,s5 another cord running about half
tbe length Of each wing. As the crank shaft turns
these wings are alternately closed and opened. The
front rart Of the wing is made rigid, While the
baal, oart is flexible, The slightest MOTION o.
these wings tends 10 drive the bird forward.
The Inventor saws that a bird does not use mucn
e-eg- in living but simply Uses the atmosphere as
q double spring, does man on a spTlheDoa1o,
The wings are constructed in sucn manner t'11
whether they move up or down. the o'ro goes ioi
word
1T * therefore plain" said pr. Thomas, that
bird after it has once got in the air uses no more
exertion in proportion TO its size th2; child jog
zlirg on srring5osrd Its action in fight IS really
= crsv-l-the same as snake crawls on the ground
15,r c,d :. f,ir! fly three hundred four hundred
miles if there was much labor connected with it,
I7c ias developed. he an aeroplane that has
perfect equilibrium and must always alight on its
feet like cat
Taking a sheet OF square paper and folding it as
II he were going make half of box, DR.. Thomas
clipped the corners 70 make them fold together
Thrown into the air, the model invariably alighted
right side
In my ae7oolsne these sides of the box will be
flexible said he land under the absolute control
of the operator. In other words the ae"oplane's
surface viii be so constructed that it be instant
X turned into box shape in case OF emergency.
As the box falls it makes vacuum on TOP which
holds the apparatus in perfect equilibrium while
dropping"
Dr. Thomas has been testing the propellers and
paris OF the apparatus which will be sent 10 Morris
Park racetracb in few days a feature of the
aerial race Of the Aeronautc Society Election
Day.

Our woman novelists. in proportion

less sense Of humor?-Book Monthly.
