HAYDN's NATIONALITY AND INsPIRA-

Haydn's nationality has been disputed AMI
discussed. He is claimed as German and as
Slav. The forms of both chamber and sym
phonic music have been generally conceded TO
be a German national heritage. Haydn must
always be remembered in the evolution of muss

the fundamental structure remains he left it.
He borrowed the science and symmetry of this
structure from the sonatas OF a member of the
Bach family. Carl Phillip Emanuel, who was

affected more mOmentously by environment and
climate than by the actual birth and descent of
a composer. When think of Weimar Frank

thinks, owing to the scope OF the so-ealled
police power, and to the fact that the
ownership OF land by private persons In
foreign countries still remains technically
feudal IN it's theory, instead Of allodial, as
in this country. Recent legislation In Ger
many and Switzerland has In effect Gre
ated a highway in the air for the use OF
airships in which the public has the right

ships.

q legal parity, and subject to the same
treatment at the hands Of the land owner
In regard 10 putting of trespasseT'
Mr. Fox explains that In the case or an
aerial trespass the property owner, who
under ordinary circumstances would pc
allowed to use force necessary 70 expel
an intruder, here has no opportunity to
choose between a minor and a major de-
gree of force The use Of firearms. which
seems the only effective force in compel
ling a man to leave the air, would be Wig
orousiy condemned by the courts and
would be contrary to the analogous rule OF
law in England and America forbidding the
use of spring guns to repel tFespasseFs.
1t does not appear to be familiarity
with the laws OF trespass which has
prompted farmers 10 fire at passing air
ships and balloons of late, as has been
reported by aviatoFs. but a sort OF wanton
recklessness on the part of the country
man, whe has instinetively singled cut the
airship as target. Some fear is expressed
in the Aero Club that this savage custom
will become more widespread through the
advertisement of the right of the land own
er in the ARA knowledge which is now by
no means universally shared.
In the epinIon of Mr. Fox an Injunction
might be granted 10 restrain trespass in
the air, whereas It is not granted as rule
IA land trespass because 1t is deemed that
the land owner has sufficient recourse IN
the right of ejectment and damages.
.eyVhen we consider" says Mr.. Fox, that
the land owner is practically deprived OF
his ability to eject an aviator by force and
that hs will be able 10 plead the fear that
the aviator, who passes perhaps eaily over
his house may endanger the lives OF the
occupants by dropping something. there is
reason to believe that the courts may raVor
the granting of injunctions as an effective
remedy. II might be sought, Tor instances

Orville Wright Explains Why
This Is Generally True.

Orville Wright contrary to his usual
habit Of silence. has finally consented to
talk for publication on the subject of the
airship. He Is now In Paris. and. his
previous retieenee forgotten waxed en-
thusiastie over the achievement OF Count
de Lambert In the recent Night over that
city and around the Eiffei Tower, deeiaF-
ing the enunt TO be ons OF the most accom-
plished aerial pilots in the world, ahe
commencing him for his prudence and
skill
Mr.. Wright then proceeded 20 controvert
a common belief Of laymen by saving that
Count de Lambert, by maintaining the
height at which he new (about one thou
sand feet) had a better chance OF safe
descent In case hts motor refused 90 work
BY this statement Mr., Wright meant that
an aviator Hying high had tiEae % resu-
late his machine In sudden descent, and
therefore Incurred less risk OF aeesdent
than II he were dying low.
An aviator, according TO Mr.. Wright.
may count on a diameter In which 20 do
scend six or seven times the height OF hts
machine. At two thousand feet one might
land anywhere In a diameter OF two miles
Mr.. Wright declared.
While there Is less danger in flying than
in automobile racing. In the belief OF this
famous aviator. he Is nevertheless opposed
to spectacular exhibitions. and expressed a
hope that such attempts as the crossing
OF the English Channel would not soon be
repeated Flight across the ocean Mr..

In fact the BTeriot machine is said TO be
SO well balanced that it will fly automat-
icaIly, like Langley's model. Latham and
Bl6rlot are in the habit of occasionally let
ting go the controls altogether.
The spread OF the machine is 2S.2S feet,
with 1905 square feet surface. The wings
are composed Of single members. tndepend-
emily detachable from the chassis, set at
slight dihedral angle. The main cross
beams measure. in cross section, about
8 by q inches. and the ribs, about 4 inch
cross section, are spaced inches apart on
these beams,
The ash and poplar frame is square in
cross section and measures about 3 reet
in length. II is braced with wood struts
and piano wire ties. The pilot sits inside

surface. He rests his back against

a pivoted crosspiece which operates the
vertical rudder. Above and In front OF the
operator is the lever for warping the wings

1.-THE popular impression that trespassers
may be arrested and punished under the
criminal law is without foundation. The
case was aptly put by an English Judge
who described all signs stating that tres
passers will be prosecuted 10 the full extent
of the law as wooden lies Trespass
neither is nor has ever been criminal Of

What Immediately concerns the aviator
is the fact that, under the present law, he
is placed In the position OF being unable 10
ay anywhere without, at least technically,
invading the rights OF others, and thus plae-
ing himself continually in the category of
wrongdoers. There is a esFtain element OF
public opinion which IS bound TO seize upon
this, and, irrespective of the trouble and in
convenience which may result from the use
OF legal measures against individual avia-
tors the whole cause Of aerial navigation
will be placed on a false and discourag ing
position until this state OF affairs is re-
IieVed.'
Mr.. Fox is inclined to the belief that
the old Roman law vesting the ownership
OF the heavens in the land owner was orig
inally hit upon as the easiest solution to
the difficulty of establishing it's property
status. 1T had It's origin and confirmation
for centuries among people who never in
their widest dreams conceived OF the air
as q realm Of human activity" he declared.
1.-THE air was OF no importance whatever
as a human possession Now the human
race has entered upon q new era by the
discovery of a pursuit which, at a single
stroke, accomplished the miracle of invest
ing the air with a value and usefulness
akin TO that OF the sea. II the law is to
cling to the theory OF the absolute owner
ship of air. 1t must do not only in de-
spite and disbursement Of human prog
uess. but without the justification of benefit
TO the land owner, for. obviously. when he
has erected the taIlest building coneelva-
BILE, he cannot further use and enjoy the
leagues of air above the land.
Mr.. Fox cited several cases. showing that
there was authority and precedent for the
theory that the ownership of the air Is
qualified rather than absolute and he
therefore maintains that, save for the sin
gle consideration OF the danger of land
owner being struck by a falling object
from an airship, there Is no respect in
which the right of property would be ad-
veFsely affected by the adoption OF the
theory The principe Of easements arising
from long continued usage could not be in
volved at all In ths problems Of air flight.
Mr.. Fox believes, save perhaps In the case
OF an airship line running over a fixed
route. In such cases the law you'd doubt
less compel as In the case OF railways.

the property owner mist be arst obtained

a 2S-hoFsepowsr motor such as they nos
employ. he promises that Il viii eclipse

Because OF the expense and danger Of

auires far greater power than . locouao-
tive. 10 Is for military purposes and Tor
