LIFTS ITSELF and OPERATOR
BERLINER'S HELIoCoPTRE
YIELDS TO TWO MOTORS.
Airship at Derby, Conn, Leaves the
Ground, But Is Not Permitted
to Soar.

Emile Berliners heliocopter, on which he
has been working for some months in
conjunction with Newton Williams of
Derby, Conn. has progressed to the point
where it has lifted itself and an operator
off the ground. 1t took two motors to
do the trick and no free fight was at
tempted. The inventor was satisfied with
his summers work. however, and, want
ing more powerful engine, he has con-
tracted for it. and, leaving it in the hands
of workmen, will spend the remainder of
the summer IN Europe.
The neliocopter is one of Mr. Berliner'S
pets. on which he has worked at inter-
walls for some years. He drives the IL
foot horizontal propellers on an upright
shaft that has a universal joint and can
be bent in any direction.
BY slight inclination of the shaft he
can convert the vertical movement of the
machine into a horizontal movement and
at the same time loses very little of the
upward pull.
Mr.. Berliner has been very secretive
about his work, but some days ago the
machine was tried out and with single
engine came within twelve pounds of lift
ing itself This did not include the
weight OF the operator, SO the result was
not considered very satisfactory.
A second motor was installed and the
attempt repeated. AT this time Mr..
Moore, one of his mechanics, was hit by
piece of flying wire and his upper arm
badly cut. He came near bleeding to
death before help could be obtained, but
is now recovering.

Temperatures Today.

Notwithstanding the break in the heat
wave which occurred yesterday .here
were two prostrations from the effects
of the high temperature today and three
last evening.
Forecaster Garriolt said there will not
be any material change from present con-
ditions as far ahead as he can see. The
prevailing temperature. he said. is sea-
sonal and there is no more excessive
heat in sight The maximum tempera-
ture yesterday was between SS and 50,
and was the first day since June 10 that
the mercury remained in the eighties.
The fall in temperature in this city be-
tween last night and this morning was six
degrees. In nearby sections the drop was
from six to twelve degrees. There has
been a break in the torridity throughout
the east.
This afternoon the wind got around to
the west and southwest and was cooling.
The weather bureau temperature at /
o'clock was 81, three degrees lower than
at the same hour yesterday. At the
kiosk at 14th street and Pennsylvania
avenue the thermometer registered % at
O'Clock this afternoon.
Five More Prostrations.
Mary J. Flood, sixty-three years of age,
1923 10th street northwest, was overcome
by the heat this morning while at New
Jersey avenue and street northwest.
She was conveyed to the Casualty Hos
pital.
Martin Van Buren,. colored, eighty
seven years of age, suffered an attack
of heat prOStration while at 1th and p
streets this morning. He was taken to
the HOMEOPATHIC Hospital.
Frank Waters. colored, twenty-three
years of age, whose home is at 224

Twenty Horses Succumb.
During the last week twenty horses
have fallen on the streets of Washington
and died. Although the direct cause of
their deaths is not given in the records
of the street cleaning department 1T is
stated that the extreme heat was either
directly or indirectly the cause.
A number of these animals were valu-
able. 1t is noticeable that many own
ers have provided their horses with straw
hats, which came into use several years
ago. and In many instances sponges are
carried in the vehicles. so that when
water trough or hydrant is reached the
beast can be washed down to an extent
People slept in comparative comfort

Fitted With Big Parachute.

The machine, with the two motors, lift
ed itself and an operator, but was not
allowed to get away from the ground.
1t is fitted with a big parachute that can
be spread from above the propeller like a
big umbrella in case the engine stops, but
the weight of the machine is so great
that it would have to be long distance
in the air for the parachute TO become
effective in checking fall, and the para
chute is So large that it is cumbersome.
Mr.. Williams, who is working with Mr..
Berliner, has tried out his machine on a
length of track that has been built for
experimental purposes. butt while the
heliocop.re has developed great speed on
the level it has not yet managed to get
into the air.
