FLYABoUT TO SAVE ENGLAND

N the opinion of many prominent
aeronauts the most practical form
of flying machine will be the small
aeroplane or "hyabout," carrying
comparatively small load, which can
skim about in the air as the modern
touring car now does in the streets.
This idea has been put forward by
English aeronautical authorities as
possibly involving the salvation of
England, for they believe that the low
flying gasless machine may make it
possible to overcome England's hither-
to invulnerable position against in
vasion. In a recent article in the Lon
don Westminster Review Major b.
BadenPowell, who is prominent in
both army and aeronautic matters, re
fers to this as a serious possibility
which should cause diversion of Brit
ish money toward aerial experiments.
He says:
WHAT valid reason is there why,
within a few years time, a foreign
nation should not be able to dispatch
a fleet of a thousand aerial machines
each carrying two or three armed men,
and able to come across to our shores
and land, not necessarily on the coast
but at any desired inland place? The
majority of the men could be landed,
While the flyers could be sent back for
further supplies. No defense seems
possible against such a fleet, since, like
a swarm of locusts, it's destination cam
not be guessed, and, after settling, it
may rise again and swoop down on
some fresh place, while an hour later
it may have returned to its base, hay
ing wrought havoc in the district of
its descent
"All this may seem like a fight of
fancy, but let us remember that Wright
has already accomplished flights, with
"a passenger, of double the distance
across the channel. Let us bear in
mind, too, that 10 900 such machines
would not probably cost more than
one modern battleship.
"A swiftly moving small machine
skimming over the ground and seldom
rising to any height except to clear

ances. The truth is, and it is known
by every aeronaut in the country. that
there are few, if any, places in the
country where it is safe for the glid-
ing types of machine to exhibit Large
as is the Brighton race track at Coney
island it was too small and the OBJ
structions too great to permit of any
sort Of exhibition.
This can be understood when it is
recognized that none of the flying ma
chimes can rise into space at any an
gle which exceeds five degrees, or about
nine feet i'm every hundred. as maxi
num- and when the turning problem
is presented there is a still greater
difficulty. because the high speed re-
quired necessitates a large radius. eX-
ceeding 500 feet and in most cases a
half mile is none too large for this
maneuVer.
The solution of this problem will not
be found until the airship shall have
the capacity to rise into space from
position of rest to condition of mo-
ton at any angle or speed by mechan-
ism inherent on the ship itself and.
furthermore, such Il ship would have
the ability to arrest its speed in the
air, poise i'm space or turn as a pivot,
which would permit launching or land
ing within a restricted Enclosure and
give an assurance of safety while in
fight

made here and abroad with this type
of machine Men who will take their
lives in their hands daily in operating
machines as dangerous as the gliding
machine is are entitled to the greatest
credit l applaud their performances
and their work, as must everyone who
is interested in this science.
What does mechanical flight mean?
Does it mean the ability to maintain a
balance i'm the air after being shot into
space at the rate of thirty feet per
second? Does mechanical flight mean
that special launching way or track,
or a catapult in the form of a tower
and weight shall be provided so as
to enable a machine to leave the earth?
Does it mean that a free and unob-
structed way of fully 500 feet shall be
provided for launching and landing
purposes? Does it mean that when
once in space speed of not less than
80 to 80 feet per second must be main
tanned to keep in the air? If it means
any of these things, then mechanical
flight has not been solved; and the I'M
fortunate part of it is that all of the
foregoing requirements are necessary
with any machine of the aercplane type
so far exhibited
True. mechanical flight means much
more than has yet been accomplished
1t means, i'm my opinion, that launch
ing is of more Importance than bal
ancing. 1 have repeatedly expressed
the opinion that the first essential is
a means for launching the ship and
stability is the second. Every inven-
tor and eXperimenter proceeds on the
principle that stability is the first
thing Thus Lilienthal Chanute and
Langley interpreted The problem
hence we have gliders and shooting
apparatus and monstrOsities on wheels
all built to fly when once in space
without for a moment considering a
safe, sane or mechanical way to get
up when flying is possible.
When Farman came to this country
and failed in his exhibitions it was
given out, and probably with consid-
cradle truth, that he had difficulty
with the management and that the
public did not patronize his perform

machine, and accordingly proposes to
make an aeroplane trip as soon as she
is convinced that hers is dependable.
She already holds the record time for
crossing the English channel, which
she accomplished in So minutes from
the English to the French coast. She
has crossed the channel three times
and has made more than 100 balloon
ascensions. A few months ago she
made a flight from London to Verdun
in northeastern France
Mrs. Hartford is wealthy, having in
herited a large fortune from her first
husband, who was an Australian mer
chant. She is the daughter of a sur
geon general of the British army, and
her present husband is a leading mem
Der of the London stock exchange.
Her father-in-law is Lord Suffield, an
intimate friend Of King Edward.

which Mrs. Hartford has been a mem
Der almost since its organization, re-
Gently honored her by a compliment

Hartford thinks that ballooning is a
safer sport by far than automobiling,
and even safer still than hunting.

II AS mechanical fight been solved
by gliding machines? l answer
- emphaticallY No.


emphatically, No.
1t is assumed by the press generally
that the exhibitions of the Wrights,
Farman and others have solved the
question. Let US see whether such is
the case.
over six years ago Prof Langley
demonstrated that with power on a
gliding machine he could maintain the
structure in space. Lilienthal. with no
power whatever demonstrated the
gliding principle. Now, what more
have the inventors of today done to
demonstrate mechanical flight? They
have proved their ability as gymnasts
and equilibrists in a most remarkable
way. but they have not thereby solved
the problem of mechanical flight. 1t
is not maintained that Langley solved
the problem.
Because of the ability of the latter
dav inventor to stay in the air minutes
where Langley's apparatus remained
seconds, nothing is proved except the
ability OF the operator | am not dis
posed to look lightly upon the wonder

the cavalry horse, but it would be far
speedier, could go across any country

AS for vulnerability, the air-car would

sentence Suspended on Boy for Pick
 ing Up Coal.


 Things were cold in Angelo lzzo's house on Bank street yesterday anl there was no prospect of santa Claus getting around with a scuttle or two Of coal, nor even bundle of wood that would make a fire. So Angelo, who is only 10 years of age, went forth and somewhere he picked up an old bag and seeing a big load of coal on the railroad tracks he went for it He was busy filling the bag when a railroad policeman came along and asked him why he was stealing coal, Angelo told him that things were cold at home and his folks would not give him anything to eat until he would bring in a bag of coal. In the city court to-day An gelo denied making this statement, but as he told the same story to Superintendent Beach, and as he did not look overburdened with the good things of the. world it was taken for granted he told the police man also. Mrs Izzo said her husband works twice week, by which she meant that he works two days a week for the city, In view of this state of affairs, and as the coal said to have been taken was worth only p cents, Judge Burpee suspended sentence.

Women Smile at Fortuny's Wells.

Prof. Fortuny, known as an esthetic
enthusiast, is providing much merri.
ment for the fashionable women OF
Berlin. He has on exhibition a new
feminine costume he has invented and
which is known as "Fortuny's Wells"
The wells are of silk chiffon from five
to six yards long and two yards wide,
Their colors are light rose, violet and
blue. On the chiffon are painted
Greek vases and other ornamental
Greek designs made from articles un.
earthed in ancient Greek cities. For
tuny wants to clothe his contempor'
aries with these wells worn over ordi'
nary apparel to supplement rather
han supplant what is being worn. He
argues that wells, when beautifully
draped, give an individuality to wom
ans appearance, that the art of drap-
ing will be brought to such state OF
perfection that the modern women will
surpass her ah,ient Greek sisters in
the art of dressing. He shows also
little gold pins and breaches of Gre
clan design to hold the veil together.
