EDISON MAY PUT

ON FLYING DEVICE
Wizard Has a Long Talk with
Henri Farman, the Aviator
from France.
SUBJECT SEEMS TO HAVE
TAKEN INVENTORS FANCY
It Develops That He Already Had
Designed Machine to Sail
the Air.

The interview which Henri Farman
had with Thomas A. Edison today led
many scientists to believe that the
great inventor was at work on a flying
machine.
Mr.. Edison put aside ~elctrics and for
sevral hours talked ~aeronautics. Far
rpan was his guest, n they thor
oughly discussed the art of human fly
ing.
The meeting was arranged by Will
lam j. Hammer, an electrical engineer
of New York, who was formerly asso-
ciated with Mr.. Edison, and Augustus
Post, of the Aero Club. Mr.. and Mrs.
Farman, Mr.. Hammer and several
members Of the New York Aero Club
drove out to West Orange in auto
mobiles.
During the talk 1t developed that Mr..
Edison has not entirely ignored the
problem of aerial navigation.
Il have made a slight study of tero-
nautics,' the inventor said to the
aviator, land l worked out a plan for
what l termed a '~helicoptre.' | didn't
set out to plan q helicoptre. All | tried
to do was to work out something that
would fly"
1t was explained that the helieoptre
is a machine that shoots straight up
into the air. 1t is not Siderable. and
isn't of much use except with n para
chute attachment. 1t has aVertically
arranged propeller, driven by a motor.
1t is the force of the whirling pro-
peller against he air that drives it up
ward. Without the parachute the per-
son going skyward in a helicoptre
would have his choice of staying up
indefinitely or coming down with a
crash.
The visit included an inspection of
the extensive laboratories.

BREEDER GETS s.
STA PER DOZEN
FOR FINE EGGS

When w. Theodore Whitman was
a mere boy he had a fad-chickens.
Today he is one OF the five greatest
living experts on fowls In the United
States, and his sole occupation is 10
travel from place to place acting as
Judge at poultry exhibitions.
He has demonstrated what pa
tience, study and scientific methods
can accomplish. For instance, quits
a number Of years ago he purchased
from DIR. Croker, of Massachusetts,,
who had originated the breed, all Of
his silver-peneiled Plymouth Rock
chickens. The latter, while OF a
very handsome type, were nothing
extraordinary in that particular line
OF type. When Mr.. Whitman Sc
cured the flock, however, he imme.
dlately began to study and expert
ment how to improve the breed.
Gradually, by careful breeding and
crossing, proper mating to eliminate
all that was poor and detrimental,
and to improve and develop their
strong points, he succeeded so we'll
that the greater part OF his flock be-
came prize winners in all of the lead
ing poultry exhibits in the country.
and one of his pullets drew first
prize at the Worlds Fair in Chicago.
This puilet IS still living. and Is now
the property Of L. A. McAlpin. the
tobacconist, to whom ny. Whitman
later sold his entire pen. II half the
attention were paid to the proper de-
velopment OF the human race that is
paid to that OF poultry, the term
"mollycoddle" would never have
been coined.
Mr.. Wittman's favorite fowl Is
the brown Leghorn, and It Is with
this particular breed that he has had
his greatest success. and which made
him famous all over the United
States among lovers OF fine poultry.
AS in the case with the silver-pencil-
ed Plymouth Rock, this expert got
together pen of brown Leghorns
of a good breed and then, by scien-
tific breeding, careful sorting OF eggA
and a constant elimination of poor
specimens, he produced breed and
strain OF Leghorns the wonder and
admiration of all beholders and first
prize winners wherever exhibited.
One day. in examining a brood OF
newly-hatched chickens. he found
among them a lusus naturae, a freah,
an absolutely perfect puilet. The
most minute examination failed 20
reveal a single flaw or speck. AS
Mr.. Whitman says: "She was an ac-
cidental perfection"

They are extremely thrifty. They
