man mechanical engineer. He made a
study of the flight of birds and event
ually concluded that very little was
known of the laws which govern the
flight of the feathered tribe. He be-
gan experimenting in 1891, using wings
constructed like those of soaring birds.
Equipped with these, he sailed down
hill sides into valleys. After a series
of more than 1000 flights one of his
wings gave way one day and in his
tumble to earth he dislocated his spine
and died the following day.
That was in 1896. Three years later
an Englishman, Percy S. Pitcher, be-
gan experimenting along the same
line. He had essayed only few flights
when one of his wings broke and he
sustained injuries which caused his
death few days later.
On this side of the Atlantic, Prof.
S. P. Langley conducted some notable
experiments, fashioning in 1896
small, steam-driven aeroplane which
made a flight of three-quarters Of
mile. In the same year Chanute of
Chicago constructed a gliding ma,
chine which attracted some attention.

and at so miles an hour II horse
power. At 60 miles "a horsepower
would be needed, and at 120 miles 60
or rs horsepower. 1t is clear that
there is a certain point of speed be-
yond which the air resistance makes
it impossible to go. Just what that is
experiment will determine. Every
year gas engines are being made
lighter-a fact which will increase the
surplus carrying power of the machine
available for fuel and operator and
heavier construction, but at present
go miles an hour can be counted on
for the flying machine. This. of
course, means speed through the
air.
THE aeroplane running 60 miles an
hour will have surplus lifting power
enough to carry fuel for long Jour-
neys. Our 1907 machine will carry
gasoline enough to fly 500 miles at a
rate of some SO miles an hour. We
can, and possibly soon will, make a
one-man machine carrying gasoline
enough to go 1000 miles at 40 miles
an hour. Moreover, any machine made
to move at speeds up to 60 miles an
hour can be operated economically at
cost of not much over one cent a
mile for gasoline.
There is no question that a man
can make a lighter and more efficient
wing than a birds A cloth surface,
for instance, can be produced offer
ing less surface friction than feathers
The reason for this fact is that a
birds wing is really a compromise.
1t is not made for flying only-it must
be folded up and got out of the way
when the bird is on its feet, and eff
cheney in flying must be sacrificed to
permit this. The wings of aeroplanes
will vary in size according to speed.
A slow machine will require a large
wing. but the faster the speed the less
will be the supporting surface nee
essary, and wings for high speeds will
naturally be very small. Not only will
less support be needed, but the size
must be reduced to reduce the fric-
ton of the air.
To the same writer the brothers
made the interesting statement that
they did not expect the aeroplane ever
to displace the railroad or the steam
boat. They predict that it's chief

value will be in war time, when il
may be employed for dropping explo-
sives upon an enemy or for recon
noitering purposes. In this connec-
ton may be added the fact that the
navy department has planned an ex-
tensive series of experiments with
dirigibles, the purpose being to dis.
cover their availability for war usage.
Those who advocate the employment
of these machines point out the fact
that flying machines sailing over a
fleet are immune from any attack
save that of small arm fire, and that
they could attain a height SO great as
to be out of range from these smaller
weapons. There is no type of larger
gun now carried on shipboard that is
capable of such extreme elevation. OF
course it would be easily possible to
construct a gun mount that would per-
nit of high angle, or even vertical
fire, but the question is asked how
would you be able to hit one of these
small targets sailing so high in air?
When firing at floating target any
error of sighting can be detected by
the splash of the shell. But how is a
gun-pointer to tell where his shells
are going when he is firing upward
into the air?

they create a feeling of insecurity

THE EYEsIeHT AT NIGHT TIME.
Why Objects Assume Fantastic and
Alarming Appearance.

Every one must at times have asked
himself why familiar objects in dim
light tend to assume fantastic and
oftentimes alarming appearances.
The explanation is to be found in the
special conditions of night vision. The
pupils are widely dilated and, as in
the Photographic lens with a large
diaphragm, the apparatus of accom-
mediation can only focus for one plane.
AS the faculty of estimating distances
is in great measure lost in the OBJ
security we cannot focus with pre-
cision, and blurred uncertain outline
is thrown upon the retina.
Then, too, colors viewed in a fading
light lose their distinguishing hue in a
fixed sequence until point is reached
at which everything becomes of one
uniform gray tint.
1t follows that the images which
are transmitted to the visual centers
are profoundly modified in color and
outline, and as they enter the eye
through the widely dilated pupil at an

Four years later the Wright brothers..
two young bicycle makers of Dayton,
began experimenting.
1t was not long before their efforts
began to attract attention. But they
sedulously avoided notoriety, kept
their own counsel, and devoted them
selves to the task of solving the prob
lem of mechanical flight Mr.. Turner,
however, gained their confidence, and
thus describes them: Two lean,
quiet men in dingy, commonplace
little brick bicycle shop; pleasant. I'M
assuming, most approachable, but
shy and silent under the oppression
of the greatest secret of the time. Or
vile. of the more social and converse
tional temperament, did the greater
share of the talking-an amiable, kind
ly-faced man of 35. Wilbur-prema-
turely bald, about 40, with the watch
full eyes, marked facial lines, and dry,
brief speech of a naturally reticent
man."
Their New Method.
To quote his account OF what the
brothers told him just prior to their
going abroad last year for the demon
stration of their machines before for
eign war departments:
1--WE had worked out a new method
of practice with gliding machines, =
they explained. 'Lillienthal and Cha
mute had obtained their experience in
flying with the operators launching
himself from a hill and gliding down
on to lower land. This involved car
rying back their apparatus, after a
short flight, to the top of the hill
again. Because of the difficulties of
this awkward method, although Lii
lienthal had made over 1000 flights,
we calculated that in all his five years
of experiment he could not have been
actually practicing flying more than
five hours-far too short for the ordi-
nary man to learn to ride bicycle.
1t was our plan to follow the example
of soaring birds, and find place
where we could be supported by
strong rising winds.
"A bird is really an aeroplane. The
portions of it's wings near the body
are used as planes of support, while
the more flexible parts outside, when
tapped, act as propellers. Some of the
soaring birds are not much more than
animated sailing machines. A buzzard

"The problem of mechanical fight
is how to balance in this moving fluid
which supports the flying machine; or,
technically speaking, how to make the
center of gravity coincide with the
center of air-pressure. The wind often
veers several times a second, quicker
than thought, and the center of pres
sure changes with it. 1t is as diff
cult to follow this center of pressure
as to keep your finger on the flicker
ing blot of light from prism swing
ing in the sun.
1T has been the common aim of
experimenters with the aeroplane to
solve the problem of equilibrium by
some automatic system of balancing.
We believe that the control should be
left to the operator The sense of equi-
librium is very delicate and certain.
If you lie upon a bed three-quarters of
an inch out of true, you know it at
once. And this sense of equilibrium is
just as reliable a mile above the earth
as it is on it.
'The management of our aeroplane
like that of the bicycle, is based upon
the sense of equilibrium ofthe opera
tor. The mechanism for preserving
the balance of the machine consists of
levers operated by simple uniform
movements which readjust the flying
surfaces of the machine to the air.
The movement of these levers very
soon becomes automatic with the avi-
ator, as does the balancing of bicy-
Gle rider, and simpler to operate than
a bicycle. In fact, the aerOplane is
easier to learn. In all our experiments
with gliding and flying machines, we
have not even sprained limb; we
have scarcely scratched our flesh"

decessors have not. Among the first

Air in Constant Turmoil.
THE chief trouble the brothers ex-
planned, is the turmoil of the air.
The common impression is that the
atmosphere runs in comparatively reg
uIar currents which we call winds.
No one who has not been thrown about
on a gliding aeroplane-rising or fall
ing ten, 90 or even 80 feet in few
seconds-can understand how utterly
wrong this idea is. The air along
the surface of the earth, as a
matter of fact, is continually churn-
ing. 1t is thrown upward from every
irregularity, like sea breakers on
coast line; every hill and tree and
building sends up a wave or slanting
current. And it moves not directly
back and forth upon its coast line,
like the sea, but in whirling rotary
masses. Some of these rise up hun
dreds of yards In a fairly strong
wind the air near the earth is more
disturbed than the whirlpools of Nj
agara.
