OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, d. c., SEPT. -, 1905.
Mr.. EDITOR:
While official and social diversions
are scarce in Washington just now the
ewes of the world nevertheless are fixed
on the Capital. Wherever man exists
the desire to conquer the air by flying
is felt and no one can say how many
wears men have been engaged in the ex-
pertinent. For many years in this coun-
try it was considered so quixotic that
the inventions would not be considered
in the patent Office and were regarded
as the perpetual motion devices are now.
Nevertheless Orville Wright has been
demonstrating here for few days the
most remarkable heavier than air flying
machine that has yet been produced.
His brother, Wilbur Wright, is also e2-
hibiting the same type of machine in LIE
Mans, France, but it has remained for
the brother here to break all flying rec
ords so far. On Wednesday of this
week he remained in the air for two
minutes more than an hour and during
that time had perfect control of the ma
chine and alighted when he was ready
as easily and lightly as bird. Before
An audience made up of the Secretary of
War, also named Wright, but not relat-
ed to the inventor, Secretary Metcalf,
Secretary Straus, General Nelson Miles,
other prominent Army officers, news
paper correspondents and hundreds of
curious onlookers the flight of over an
hour was made and a second one when
the machine carried an additional man
was successfully executed. There is
little doubt but that the Government
will purchase the Wright machine for it
has already showed its ability to fulfill
all the requirements of the Government
test. 1t is not many years since COM
mittees composed of prominent men as
sembled in different places for the pur-
pose Of testing the actual working of
the automobile, and at that period the
motor was quite as crude as the flying
machines that are being exhibited now.
The whole marvel of the latter is, as
has been said of a woman's preaching
and dogs standing on his hind legs,
not that they can do it we'll, but that
tn ey can do it at all.

THE ANDRoMEDA NesuLA.
An Astonishing Object Of Heavens
Which Is Part of Our System.

One of the most astonishing objects
in the heavens. especially when photo
graphed. is the great nebula in the
constellation Andromeda, which IL
visible as misty speck to the naked
eye. 1t has long puzzled astronomers,
because while it's structure series
of vast rings surrounding a central
mass-suggests a gaseous constitu-
ton, its spectrum is continuous, re-
sembling that of the sun. It has been
suggested that 1t may be composed
of stars constituting a universe ex-
ternal to ours. Recent studies of its
parallax, however, indicate that 1t II
nearer to us than some of the we'll
known stars. such as Capella, and Mr..
j. Ellard Gore, the English astrono-
mer, points out that II the Andromeda
nebula were assumed to be an ex-
ternal universe, having . diameter
comparable with that of the Milky
Way, its mass would be forty million
million million times the mass of the
sun. This Is regarded as incredible,
and so may be taken as an additional
argument in favor of the view that
this nebula Is member of our system.
