NEW YORK, July 27.-That the future
veyance is practically assured was the
confident declaration made by Henry
Farman, the aeroplane inventor and nav
igator. who arrived here yesterday on
board La Provence from Europe for a
series Of flights in his now famous flying
machine at Brighton Beach. Farpan
was welcomed down the bay by a recep-
ton committee of the Aero Club of Amer
lea. After two weeks in this city it is
expected that Farman will make flights in
Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburg
and st. Louis.
Mr.. Farman spoke freely of his plans
and work, and when asked what he con-
templated attempting next said:
ITO do new things. We are all the
time moving like birds. You cannot ex-
plain these minute details, for they are of
such an infinite variety. We are always
changing more or less Every day brings
something new, and shall Try something
new right along"
Every Little Bit Helps.
The Scotch aeroplane expert does not
take all the credit for the invention of
his flying machine, saying:
Zone man cannot do everything alone.
I used plans Of Langley and some Of
Liebenthal. but not much of the latter.
have used some of the ideas Of Chanute
and have used some of several others.
But still hope to keep improving. Della
grange uses exactly the same machine
as I do"
Progress In the development of the fly
ing machine may be best obtained by pub
lie experimenting said Farman. He con-
tinued:
ut is better to do everything publicly.
It is difficult enough, any way, and it Is
better for others to see what you are
doing and for you to see what they are
doing, each improving by noticing the
mistakes of the other. OF course. the
great dificulty in flying is the gusts Of
air. 1 never had but one bad accident,
and that was worse for the machine than
for me. steady strong wind is what
you want. Then you can make a good
flight
Things in the Way.
among the other difficulties to be met
with in aeroplane flight is the presence of
trees, houses and high structures which
divert the wind from It's true course
Has the aeroplane a future so far as
practicabiity is concerned?"
Yes" replied Farman. 1T will have a
future to a very great extent. / think
the aeroplane will be safer than the auto
or other methods of conveyance. 1t will
pause in fight has been ten seconds
in their fight have a special instinct
which we will never have. but we can i'm
prove our methods by using some of the
methods of the bird.
81 fly generally fifteen feet above the
ground, so you see what l mean by the
interference on the part of trees and
houses. l can fly higher. but have never
as you call them. but / hope to some day.
Good Word for Wrights.
II have met William Wright, and 1
think that the Wright brothers know a
great deal about the subject on which
they are so successfully working / think
the time is not far distant when we shall
see the aeroplane standing motionless in
the air In time automatic balance will
also be secured. Tie Gcroplane is now
much more of question than is the ball
loom
Mr.. Farman brings with him two ma
chimes. which will arrive tomorrow on the
steamship kroonland.
