A Sky Bicycle.

The SKY bicycle" recently invented
by Cromwell Dixon. the fourteen year
old boy of Columbus, Ohio, has some
remarkable features which make 1T
well worth attention. whether or not it
soon becomes a popular means Of
locomotion. SO writes G. NJ. Deardurff
in the Technical World Magazine.
Young Mr. Dixon's design of airship
has been tested in a number of very
successful flights by the young inventor
himself and has been found to work
very satisfactorily when weather con-
ditionS We're not too unfaVOrablc Its
simplicity of construction, the ease
with which it can be handled, and the
fact that it is Independent of mcchanl-
cal power Of locomotion are the points
that especially commend it AS no
motor is used in developing power, this
feature that has proved 50 prcplexing
to most navigatorS of the air is
eliminated from the possible sources of
trouble. On the other hand it WIN
never be of any practical utility and
at the best will be little more than a
toy wherewith a man may amuse him.
self, as it is dependent entirely upon
the foot power of the operator for it's
lOcomotion and cannot therefore. be
worked up to a high speed nor develop
sufficient power to combat success
fully against high winds or adverse
currents of the air.
The boy has used the gear of a
bicycle to operate his prOpellcrs. and
the description given by the author
together with the photographs of the
young aeronaut, are very interesting
