SAILING IN THE AIR.
Common as AutomobiIing In Ten
Years, Says Henri Farman.
MAY BE THE FAD FOR CALLS.
French Aeronaut Says Airship Flights
Depend on Perfection Of Motors and
Aerial Balance Problem - Winged
Machine to Be the Most Practical.

Henri Farman, the noted French
heronaut, who is to give some exhibit
tions in his aeroplane at Brighton
Beach, New York, has written an ar
tice on the future of the flying ma
chine for the New York American in
which he says:
Flying will be as common as auto
mObiiing within ten years. 1t will
take another decade to perfect the iy-
ing machine for practical and safe
use. 1t took several years TO bring the
bicycle and the automobile to that
state. and now the energies of the
mechanician and the aeronaut are
turned to the perfecting Of the flying
machine.
Some people will always remain too
timid to go up into the air, just as
some are even now too timid to enter
motor car Not every one had the
courage or the ability to ride bicycle
either.
1t will become quite fad. | be-
lieve, for a man to take his wife and
friends hundred or two hundred
miles in his flying machine to call on
some friend In the country. The fight

a plan will be bridged within ten

trips will wear off just as does the

Air sailing will remain in its ex-
perlmental stages only few years
longer. The time for experimentation
Is passing rapidly.
Half the solution of the air sailing
problem rests on the perfection of the

pounds. one-fifth the entire weight of
the machine with me in it. 1t is fifty
five horsepower. but only three-fifths
Of that can be used Half of the avail
able power is applied to the propeller,
which leaves me only nineteen horse
power for driving purposes.
That is the defect of the present mo-
tor, on the remedying of which prog
ress in air navigation depends. When
can increase the horsepower without
Increasing the weight the problem will
be solved. For instance, my present
outfit weighs $50 kilos, or over 1.100
pounds. The available horsepower of

ity of the other mans glance startled
him to sudden gravity.
Come. Winston," he shouted hoarse-
ly. Come with me, man.! He turned
and dashed through the door and into
the street. closely followed by Win

Straight toward the river he hur-
ried, Winston at his heels. a curiously
eager light in his eyes and one hand

gether they strobe to the end of the
long public wharf.
"What is it, you scoundrel? Give
me my god" shouted Winston amid
the catter of traffic and tha chatter
of cody voices about them.
Miller's long arm shot upward. jerk
ed back and then forward, and the
Jade god described parabola in the
mir and splashed duly into the muddy
waters of the Whangpo. AS the cir
cles widened and disappeared in the
flowing current Miller turned to Win
eton and thrust out his hand.
Forgive me, Jack" he said In tone
broken with emotion. 81 did it for
both of us. 1t would have ruined us
both in the end"
Winston's gaze had been riveted on
the spot where the Jade god had dis
appeared. Now he turned his eyes to
Miller's, and there was certain light
of understanding in them. He smiled
ruefully and took the proffered hand

mouth of the Whangpo
river, Winston leaned eagerly over the
rail as the landing tug made fast to
the steamer and the stream of waiting
passengers poured over the gangplank.
Each one came under his careful
scrutiny, and as the last one passed
over he left his position and hurried
on to the little tug, which was prepar-

There was an expression of relief on
Winston's face as he boarded the
crowded boat and it grew in satisfac-
