THE AIR HAS BEEN CONQUERED.
That the AeFoplane Has Passed the Experimental Stage Vas Impressed
Upon the Spectators During Aviation Week at Rheims as They Saw
the Human Birds PreeniRg Their Great Wings
and Soaring Like EaaIeS.

Rheims, France.-The worldwide
interest in the doings of the a~viators
at Rheims increased as each day saw
some record broken, some new feat
accomplished.
No one can read the story of the
performances and retain any linger-
ing doubt that the conquest of the air
has been achieved and that 1t now
only remains to further develop and
perfect the aeroplane.
The popular impression that as
cents were practicable only in very
calm weather will be dispelled by the
performances in a wind blowing TWEEN
ty odd miles an hour and with strong
eddies. M. Paulhan's fight of nearly
nineteen miles, part of it at the great
height of nearly 500 feet, and in the
course of which he overlook and
passed a railway train, gave the as
semblage magnificent spectacle, and
it is not surprising to read of the
boundless enthusiasm he excited.
In view of the high wind there
might have been no racing but for a
visit from the President of the Re-
public, accompanied by members of
the Cabinet and distinguished officers
of the French and British armies.
That flights were successfully and
safely made in the circumstances not
only demonstrates the practicable
stage that aviation has reached, but
seems to prove also the superiority
of the biplane in the matter of stabil-
ity yer the monoplane. At any rate
the latter type of machine did not
figure in the records.
The speed record made by Mr.. Cur
tiss, the American aviator, was bro
ken by M. Latham. who covered the
six and one-ffth miles in eight min
utes, four and two-ffths seconds,
beating by twenty-seven seconds the
time made by Mr.. Curtiss.
There are two visitors at Rheims
of whom little is heard, but who are
among the most interested of specta-
tors. They are the naval and mill
tary attaches from Paris, and it is
safe to assume that they will obtain
many wrinkles" that will prove val
liable in adapting the aeroplane to
military use on sea and land. The
aviation week" at Rheims is a won
derful event, and will give a tremen-
dous impetus to invention and expert
ment in the newborn but already
practicable art of aerial navigation.
Experts are astonished to find how
widely diffused is the interest in the
art and sport of aviation and at the
number of persons already proficient
in it. MI. Curtiss says:
II realized that there are SO
many good a~viators. This meeting
will help the aeronautic movement
enormously by bringing to the atten-
ton of the public the progress that
has been made in flying. Our object
in coming here was to win the Coupe
Internationale. We had no idea of
doing any business, yet every day we
have inquiries from persons anxious
to buy our machines or to take up

The Santa Catarina River was

At noon 5000 persons received bread

the south side of the river out OF
reach of aid because the river was al
flood stage. Conservative estimates
of the property loss place the figures
at 20,000,00O
All through the day bodies were
taken from the debris and ruins ir
the path Of the flood. More than soc
had been recovered. The greatest
loss of life occurred when the large
buildings on the south side of the
river commenced to crumble and fall.
Many of the houses had from 100 to
zoo people on their roofs, and all
disappeared in the flood.
In one school building on the south
side of the river, ninety women and
children were drowned when the
walls of the building collapsed. This
was n of the most pathetic incidents
of the flood. The women and chill.
dren had run to the school for safety
but the water having reached there,
drove them from room to room until
they were all clustered in one room
Two priests were with them in the
room, and while the priests were
blessing the women and children, the
walls fell and the whole ninety were
swallowed up in the flood.

risen to a height of fifty to sixty feet

agencies in Europe. This can be
taken as an indication of the business
activity likely to follow these races"
The example of M. Sommer, who is
one of the substitute pilots in the
contest for the International Cup, is
suggestive. Six or seven weeks ago
he first saw a flying machine. He
bought it, and within a few days had
made a world record for fight. 1t is
not so many years ago that the auto
mobile was no further developed than
is the aeroplane to-day.
N. Lambert, who pilots a Wright
machine, expressed his conviction that
automobile speed tests will be re-
placed by those with the ae~roplane.
Even at this STAGE" he said, sit Is
real racing, not merely demonstra-
lions, that is taking place. The fin
ishes are close and at times the aero
planes can be seen struggling for
supremacy in speed. I believe this
meeting will do a large amount of
good from a sporting standpoint"
That the aeroplane has passed the
initial experimental stage is certainly
impressed upon the tens of thousands
of spectators who see the assemblage
of human birds at Betheny ~preening
their great wings and soaring like
eagles. That the endurance contest
of five laps around the great course

one miles-is not difficult may be in.

Cortlandt F. Bishop, president of

he intends to ask American cities to
compete for the honor of holding the
meeting where the International Cup.
won by Curtiss, will be defended.
He has cabled to the Aero Club, offer
ing a cash subscription for a gold
medal to be presented to Curtiss by
President Taft.
Any challenge for the cup must
be made before March Is each year.
If no challenge is made within FIVE
years, or il the cup is won three times
by America, it becomes the property
OF the Aero Club. Speaking of the
American victory, Mr.. Bishop said:
THE success of Curtiss was due to
his genius and character. He has
proved himself a great American.
Never for an instant, while flying or
watching his competitors, did he lose
courage or self-control. He was al
ways calm and self-possessed in the
face of the overwhelming odds of a
competition with aviators of far great.

horse dealer from Clavie, Mich.
while visiting in Sussex, had his face
and hands wrapped in cotton batting.
He was trying to light a lamp in his
room when the match set fire to the
batting. Though the fame swept up
over his eyes he had the presence OF
mind to close them and also to hold
his breath, which saved him from the
fatal effect of inhaling the fire. He
seized a blanket, wrapped it around
his head and smothered the fire. His
hands, face and nose were badly
burned. He will be in bed two weeks,
under treatment by a village doctor.
His inquiry is, What next?"
