admission of new school Toryism on
the part of our friend is delightfully."-

NEW YORK MAN TELLS
OF ASCENT AT PARIS

Charles Knoedler. a New York man
who recently made an ascent at Paris,
has given the New York Herald a de-
scription of the amusement in pleasure
ballooning on the continent. Mr..
Knoedler and two Frenchwomen on
whom he was calling decided to take
jaunt in a balloon, and he telephoned
to the Aero club his request for an as
cent.
In telling of the trip. Mr.. Knoedler
said: Besides Nine. Guerra, Mile.

Jacques Faure, one of the most expert
enced aeronauts in France. The ease
and quickness with which he worked
inspired confidence. He was a veteran

had been well tried. 1t was in the Cen
taur, you remember, that the Count de
la Vaulx made his record breaking
flight from Paris across the Russian
border. The stability of the balloon
and the skill of the pilot placed us
entirely at our ease.
THE day was still and clear and
near the earth scarcely breath of air
was stirring. The balloon, once re-
leased, rose steadily and soon attained
a height of three miles. The earth
seemed gradually to recede from US,
and the houses grew smaller, until they
looked the size of hazelnuts.
Rivers and brown fields and various
boundaries we saw, but We had not
gone up far before the inhabitants were
soon lost. from view.
1T is strange how the idea of motion
is lost in a balloon. At times when we
were moving swiftly, as was afterward
aScertalned, the movement was scarce
ly 2erceptible. There was nothing at
those heights which would serve as a
means of comparison, yet we were traV-
cling with the currents with the speed
of an express train. The air was balmy.
there was no sense of chill and we suf-
fered no distress from the rarity of the
atmosphere.

in which we could stand comfortably,
as the ballast bags. ropes and anchor

ride. We were borne along without the
slightest jar. The experience was so
delightful that we lost all interest in
the earth, and as we Travelled our eyes
were resting on the clouds or directed
into the measureless space. The sensa-
ton of strangeness soon wore off and
we were thoroughly at ease thousands

hours, when the pilot asked if we did

This brought back to our minds the

AERON auto NOTES

The airship show at Paris was an
immense success and the Wright aero
plane attracted the most attention.
Crowds at its platform were so large
that it was a difficult matter to obtain
a glimpse of the machine. The aero
plane on exhibition was a duplicate
built by Frenchmen, who copied every
feature of Wright's machine so faith
fully that screws in the original which
had been bent by accident were like
wise bent in the duplicate.
The company controlling the French
rights for the Wright aerOplane is re-
ceiving more orders for machines than
it can handle to advantage.
Fred Schneider of Brooklyn, who
brought his aeroplane to the Morris
park race track grounds of the Aero
nautic society two weeks ago, is a
milkman.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is running
in connection with it's aerOnautic de-
partment a course of practical steps

IND ANNAPOLIS ASKS FOR
AERIAL CENTER HONORS
1t Better Located Than Los
Angeles or ST.
Louis

Indianapolis has Joined Los Angeles
and st. Louis in claiming to be the
best city in the United States for bal
looming. Her claims are advanced in
this months issue of Fly. the Phila-
delphia aeronautic magazine, by DR..
Goethe Link, secretary of the Indianap-
oils Aero club.
Indianapolis is better located than
any other city in the United States
for ballooning," says DR.. Link. 1--WE
are not near any large body Of water,
the nearest being the great lakes, one
hundred and fifty miles away. The
surrounding country is thickly popu-
lated and steam and electric lines run
in every direction. We have ample
gasmaking facilities here, and the gas
made by the Indianapolis Gas COM
pany, 1 am told, has the best lifting
power of any in the country.
Altogether there have been ten as
tensions made this fall. Captain Bum
baugh is moving his balloon factory
here. and an aerodrome is already pro-
jected. Orders have been placed by
private parties for three balloons, and
next season will find this one of the
aeronautic centers of the United
States"

FERRIS RACER TO BE PUT IN
CAPTIVE WORK
FAMOUS AMERICAN WILL CARRY
PASSENGERS
Sightseeing Provided for 1000 Feet
Above Los Angeles Under Aus
pices of California Aero
nautic Company

Arrangements have been made by
the Chutes park management to put
up the American Dick Ferris ia
nous balloon, as a captive to take
passengers into the air daily. Captain
Mueller has been getting the balloon
into shape, and it is expected that the
first trip will be made within a week.
a cable nearly 1000 feet long will be
used, permitting an excellent view of
both business and residence sections of
Los Angeles.
Trips will be made as often as there
are reservations to justify. During the
two months when the winds may inter-
fere the balloon will be sent up only on
favorable days, but passengers will be
notified by telephone long enough in
advance to allow them to arrange for
the trip.
Manager Lehigh has received numer-
Gus requests from persons who wish to
take balloon trips and decided to ar
range for captive ascensions as a re-
Spouse. Captain Mueller will be in
charge. and he will take care to in
sure only safe trips in every respect
The fee to be charged has not been
set, but it is likely to be low to attract
a larger number Of Voyagers. The bal
loon will be kept in the air long enough
to permit a thorough view of the city
and surrounding country.
The American will be operated as
a concession at the park by the Cali
fornia Aeronautic company. 1t will
also be available for short free ascents
and pleasure trips to Pasadena, River
side or other places. Captain Mueller
says advantage may be taken of, the
short currents to steer to almost any
desired point in Los Angeles county.

1t is their second balloon and will be
the finest built by Leo Stevens.
An effort is being made to secure the
cooperation of all affiliated American
aero clubs in offering a cup to be COM
peted for by racing balloons at the
cities interested.
A Brussels newspaper has offered a
prize of $4,000 for the first aviator to
make the first round trip between
Brussels and Ostend between August
Is and September Is of this year, MAX
ing not more than four different land
ings on the trip.
The Society of Encouragement OF
France has offered a cup valued at
$4,000 to be known as the Coupe de la,
Societe Encouragement a PAviation.
An important step in the progress of
aerial navigation was taken by the
French government in deciding to call
an international congress for the pur-
pose of considering new legislation
necessary as the result of the progress
of aeronautics. An attempt will be
made to frame an international code of
laws-and to draw up a list of penalties
for infractions Of them-by which aero
nauts passing from one country to an
other will be governed.

"FATHER OF AERO CLUB"
GIVES LEAD TO WRIGHTS
American People WoefuIIy Behind in
Appreciation of Aerial Matters,
Says Leading Foreign Au-
thority on Airships

Patrick Y. Alexander, the English
promoter of interest in aeronautics
who has been styled the father of
aero. Clubs gave an interesting sum-
mary of the air flight situation while
on one of his quick trips to New York
a few days ago. Mr.. Alexander has
a1oed IN forming aero clubs in Eng
land, America, Germany, France and
Italy.
Germany" said Mr.. Alexander, 'is
spending millions on airships, but
France is way ahead in knowledge of
the subject and is turning out beauti-
full airships. England is going ahead
more in the laboratory than out in
the air. We are conservative; we are
waiting to develop motor that will go

of the Wrights' supremacy, America
leads the world in aeronautics R11t
your people are woefully behind in their
enthusiasm.
THE Wrights have demonstrated in
a conclusive manner that mechanical
flying is possible. But there is a general
question about Europe as to whether
they have really solved the problem
of the navigation of the air. Zappelin.
you know, has carried twelve men 500
miles, and 1t may be some years before
the aeroplane will accomplish that.
AT this stage it is difficult to say
what is going to be the type of the
future-doubtless there will be manv
types for different purposes"
Mr.. Alexander has been conducting
experiments, showing that highly cleo
trified air gives greater thrust or lift
ing power, and is trying to find a cheap
way Of generating electricity for this
purpose
Mr.. Alexander said that one Of the
necessary inventions of the future will
be an automatic carbonator that will
supply different amounts of air neces-
sary for the explosion Of the gas in
different attitudes.

SIX TRIPS OVER THE SEA
AEROPLANE CONTESTS COURSE

The international aeroplane contest
at the port of Monaco January "a to
March "a is attracting special atten-
ton in Europe because each contestant
who makes a successful start will find
himself in flight above the sea- The
course fixed is from the port of Monaco
to Cape Martin and back three times,
which means that six trips must be
made over the water
The first prize is $4,000, the second
$4,000, and the third $4,000. If no con-
testant meets the terms, part or all
of the prize money may be distributed
as bonuses. So far Delagrange is the
only announced competitor, but it is
expected that Wright, Farman, Bile
riot and others will be induced to en-
ter. The prince of Monaco will be
chairman of the committee.

veyed. A score or more of peasants
came to help us out of the basket. The
silken bag which had buoyed us up
was soon Debated, and with the aid of
our new found friends it was soon fold
ed up and placed in the basket. Over
the top of the car was then stretched
a rubber cover which had been rolled
up and dashed to the side. On it were
the directions necessary for shipment
to Paris, from which we had started.
For a few francs the peasants packed
up the balloon and carried it in a cart
to the nearest railroad station

AERoPLANE'S ANCESTOR is
SHOWN AT FRENCH EXHIBIT

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the French aero show was that Of
M. Aders "Avion,' which has been
brought from its place in a museum.
This ancestor of the modern aeropIane
was invented fifteen years ago, but at
that time the military authorities
laughed at Alder, although he succeed
cd in flying some distance. Utterly
discouraged Adler destroyed all his pa
pers. The subsequent successful aero
planes have proved, however, the cor
rectness of his theories.
