Ten Years Experimenting.


The Wright brothers have been working
steadily on the problem of mechanical
fight for more than ten years, and success
has been in sight since early in 1901.
few scientific men knew of their achieve
ments, and their flights had been seen in
Dayton up to 1905. when there was so
much attention attracted to them that
they had to dismantle their machine and
devote themselves to business negotia-
tions until they sent one machine to Fort
Myer and another to France in the sum-
mer of 1905. Even at that time they were
a mystery to the general public. There
was nothing much known of their work in
this country and they were discredited
abroad as american buffers.
When Orville Wright arrived in Wash
ington August 20 last there was still little
known of him and less of his machine.
He proved to be a pleasant, unostenta-
tious young fellow, who looked as much
like a well-to-dO bank clerk as anything
else He smilingly disclaimed being mys-
