TIE STEERING GEAR.


The steering gear is nothing else than
a belI-Q-to the rim of which the var
ious steering wires are fixed Gig. -.
When, the bell being inclined, such
wire as T. is pulled, the other wire,
which is attached TO the part correspond
ing with that which Is worked by j., as
sumes a slaekness equivalent TO the ten
sion wrought on J.. the two wires being
fixed on the opposite sides Of the same
diameter and their extrenities being dis
placed a similar distance but in an in
verse direction. AS readily inferred. any
number of organs may be thus worked
the elevating and depressing planes-D,
D.-for instance, worked by the wires V
and (which must be moved at the same
time. but remain IN the same plane
The aviator IS master of his apparatus,
therefore. without imposing on him an
automatic equilibrium. BleFiot contends
that stability must not be obtained in too
complicated a manner. II is said that the
steering of q Bleriot machine is almost an
instructive act, because of the simplicity
OF the steering gear. The illustration has
been used that the man at the wheel pro-
teets himself very much as a person with
an umbrella open In high wind manages
to keep 1t open without any special pre-
vious schooling along that line. The
greatest danger arises from the headers

DESCRIPTION OF MoNoPLANE.

The BIeriot 'cross-Channel monoplans
Zone of which has been brought to this
country is for the most part made UP
of q rigid wooden ramework-marked q
in the diagTam-of three sustaining sur
faces, viz, two wings-AA'-wPio h can D.
warped and a solid fXtvre-B-placeo
wholly below the framework; two ele-
waiting and depressing plapes-D and D.
a horizontal Iudder-E-and the motor
Min direct drive with the wooden pro-
peller-B-plaoed in front. The gasolene
tank-R-is set between the motor and the
aviater's seat-S-iR front Of which IS the
steering gear. Below the framewerk Is
landing chassis provided with two bicyele
wheels The two wlngs-A-Whieh form
the main part of the sustaining surface,
can be dismounted. Their longitudinal
framework consists of two stays-A and
B-the tips OF which are lodged In the
framework by means Of bolts. This ar
rangement renders the BieFiet asropiane
easy TO transport, and being of small size
when disraounted 1T can be housed With
out erecting a special shed for that
purpose.
One of the first things that a man would
want information on when considering the
matter of personally attempting flight
would be the question of steering. There
are several things in a beginners mind
when he considers leaving the earth in q
machine. chief among them being how
best to get back again In safety to the
| soil. Will he have to operate several
| levers when he is above the reach of
| human help? If, as in the Bleriot mono
plane, the steering is done by a wheel,
are the things that that wheel does hard
| to memoFize? The Wright brothers
operate levers; Curtiss uses a wheel, but he
| does not attempt TO do SO many tricks
| with it as the BleTiet operator does. The
/ BIeriot monopIane is comparatively easy

types OF biplanes. in that monoplanes had
only fiuttered.
But on the morning OF July % last Louis
BleTiot and his monoplane changed. in a
little ever half an hour. the attitude of
the seronautic mind OF the world. He few
across the English Channel from Calais to
Dover. England, without an accident and
apparently with the greatest ease, being
in the air only 81 minutes. Just before
this BleFiot performed an utterly unprece-
denied thing for any heayier-thsn-air type
OF machine by driving one Of his large
monopianes In a flight with three persons
on board. These two performances as
sure the msnapiane advocates that the
machine OF that type has arrived" and
also indicate that power flight will not
be confined to any one make of machine.
The question OF flying with menoplaRes
seems TO direct attention to the conclusion
that the single surface machines have
called for an eminently sporting or dan
ger defying class of men. Bleriot, for
example, has probably had more hair
breadth escapes than any other living
man: Hubert Latham. who twice failed TO
cross the English Channel and is noted
for his nonchaiant smoking of cigarettes
in the face OF danger. affords a striking
contrast to the caution and patience that
characterize such men as the Wright
broalers, for instance.

GAINED FAME IN HALF HOUR.

Bieriot avoke one morning and, finding
that his motor would work. set II going.
His machine few, and in little over half
an hour he was famous. Caution does not
appeal TO him. Increasing his flights at
the rate of ten minutes each day does not
commend itself to his imagination or
French temperament. The days are too
long and the minutes too short. AS long
IS his machine win keep in the air he will
stay IN it, ana be happy. That is the
spirit that has made the monoplane a
serious rival OF the biplans and enabled
It almost TO equal the most successful per-
formances that have yet been made with
two=deckers-
The Honoplane salesman dwells upon
several things when telling Of the reasons
why a man should not trouble looking

to lay out modern city. with boule-
Yards. parks. sewers markets. slaugh-
ter houses and notably with three trl-
umphal roads running to Stnmboul.
Pera and Scutnrl. says Paris cable
dispatch. NJ. Bouvard returned from
Constantinopie recently. where he
made careful studies as TO the POSSIBLE
titles OF transforming "the filthiest city
In the world into modern capital.
His plans have been accepted by the
Young Turks, and work will be begun
Immediately on the public markets.
Concessions are to be granted for
the establishment OF huge slaughter
houses. the only conditions being that
the buildings must conform to NJ. Bou-
Yards architectural plans. The Turk
lsh engineers Will carry out the work
of providing sewers. electric lights, gas
and water. These will be the first pub
lie undertakings. and everything will
be intrusted to natives, as In the Ha-
indian regime.
When asked what would become of
the famous street dogs OF Constantine
pie when he had cleaned up the city,
NJ. Bouvard replied:
THAT Is really more difficult prob
lem than one would think. The dogs
Of Constantlnople are legendary. The
Turks are used to their coming and
going and. being grateful for the serv-
Ices they render. would not permit a
brutal clearing out of the historic

sIble to let them rove free. as in the
past The Young Turk committee finds
The dog question more serious than |
that of Crete and has held many meet

President Butler said that interna-
