case a practical aerial Flyer, which
embOdies more than sixty distinct in
ventions, then / think ii will be readily
granted and admitted that the aerial
Flyers must furnish their own immedi-
ate protection: and for this l have
most thoroughly provided. For this
reason also / have filed no patents, and
will file none. All work has been most
carefully engineered. made at various
times and in various places, making it
impossible for anyone to know or COM
prehend an assembling of details, nor
conceive the purposes of the work.
This eliminates the duplicating of
these Flyers and prevents imitators to
get busy, which if not taken care of
would result in the most terrific warfare
for supremacy in the aerial zone and
prevent or defeat the greatest object
to be attained by the Flyers, viz, per-
manent peace on earth.
System Entirely New.
I'm addition. l may say that the
problem of air flight has been the
most difficult to solve: for when you
consider only two points out of a thou
sand and one. il will be readily appar-
emit to you. Practical tests demonstrate
that sixty-two times the amount of
power is necessary to produce in air the
same results as the same unit of this
motive power will produce on earth
Again, consider that duplicate appara-
tus is necessary. so that in case one
gets out of order. the duplicate can be
put In immediate operation, for you
have no water to float on. no rails to
run on, or no road to rest on. There
are many other details as important as
these. but one moments thought or re-
Election of the above will give you at
least vague idea of the enormity of
the work had TO go through, even be-
fore / could make any practical tests.
Great credit should be given to in
ventOrs and men like Santos Dumont,
Lebaudy, Spencer, Wright Brothers,
Won Zeppelin. Deutsch. Chanute, Lang
ley, Cody, Bleriot. Alexander Bell and
others for their fearless and intrepid
work and the enormous sums of money
expended in their jealous work on aero
planes, aerodromes, aerial gliders, bal
looms, dirigible balloons. tetrahedral
kites, etc, as well as those who have
tried to initiate the flight of birds. etc
Whilst / have closely trailed all prog
ress, including experiments in aerial
fight made by different governments.
L Will add that this was more from a
point of interest rather than for infor-
nation. For the practical Flyer has
not the faintest relation, not even in
any detail. to any of the other appar-
atus''
Will Not DivuIge Secret.
Mr.. Perie says that he cannot at this
time, and doubts very much if he will
ever, dSSulge the secrets that enter into
the theories and construction of his
war flyers and his scout ships He is
cautious, as he says inventors ought
to be, but unfortunately for themselves
are not. Following a line of more than
ordinary prudence. Mr. Perie caused
this part of his machine TO be manu-
factured at Newark, that in France
another in Philadelphia. When these
parts had been completed they We're
assembled in remote spot on a great
mesa, where the feet of man has sell
dom if ever trod. and the eye of man
has seldom if ever beholden anything
except cactus plants and their kindred
of the wastes. The place where the
Perie flyer was gathered and put to-
gether is AS miles away from any de-
finite locality, and only the mules who
packed the machinery in and Mr. Perie
and his men know where this near
Mexico nest is
