MORE THAN A SPORT.

THE interest OF the Wrights in avi-
alton as a sport had now advanced
into serious devotion TO II, as
something akin to passion. The
brothers had spent only about three
months in each year ia North Carolina
and had devoted the evenings OF their
days in Dayton to calculations and
reading Their income from their print
ing and machine shops had not dimin-
ished thereby. But it had required the
larger part Of those earnings and prom
ised to require stiIl more to maintain
these experiments Wherefore. the two
looked the situation squarely in the
face, resolved to progress in this field
as far as they, could, and arranged 10

Of property which had been given to
them, sharing alike with their brothers
and sister. BY their father.
The stories of money obtained from
other sources are all unfounded. I'VE
have conducted all the experiments at
our own expense said Orville. I'VE
have never accepted anything from any
body. There isn't anything in that. OF
course, we were offered help-by insti-
tutions, and so forth. But We w6uld
not have liked to take that money.

Two Schools in
Field Of Aviation.

In the field of aviation there we're
two schools. The first. represented by
such men as Professor Langley and Sir
Hiram Maxim, gave chief attention to
power fight; the second, represented
| BY Lilienthai Mouillard and Chanute, to
soaring fight. Our sympathies were
with the latter school, partly from i'm
patience at the wastefuI extravaganza
of mounting delicate and costly machin-
cry on wings which no one knew how to
manage, and partly, no doubt, from the
{ Extraordinary charm and enthusiasm
Y III which the apostles Of soaring flight
set forth the beauties of sailing tarodf n
iSe air on fixed wings, deriving the
motive power from the wind itself" o..
At bottom, it should be said. both
schools had for their object the con-
structlOn Of machines which should be
driven by power. The difference which
Is here emphasized related almost en-
tirely To the preliminaTies and prepara-
tlOns for such fight.
Now The difficulties were reefOld-the
construction OF wings strong enough TO
sustain themselves and their passenger,
the creation of power to drive the ma
chine, the balancing and steering of the
machine. The Wrights had satisfied
themselves as early as the summer of
1901 that the first two Of these diff
culties had been overcome. the second
being specially helped by recent prog
ress IN automobile construction. It was
the third TO which they devoted them
selves.

DEVELOPMENT OF SHIPS.

T OR substantial understanding aof
this theory, = Is needful for the
reader TO realize one more thing.
II is that when the Wrights designed
this type of aircraft they knew and
planned that it should not tend to right
itself in the air The baIancer was TO
do that. The machine was to be as
inert as possible. to respond as. little as
possible to the effects of change of d.
rection or speed in the wind; and thus
the disturbing effects of gusts were to
be reduced to a minimum
The real problem OF balancing a flying
machine consists Of keeping close to-
gether what are called the center of
pressure and the center of gravity. The
latter is the familiar point of balance.
such as the bottom of platter as you
let it rest on the fat of your hand The
former might be Ifkened 10 the palm OF
the hand itself, being the support OFFER
ed to the machine by the wind. II had
cost both LiIienthal and Pitcher their
lives to attempt to keep these two
points together by shifting the body,
somewhat as Knabenshue and Beachy
slide back and forth to control their air
ships. The teaching of that first stay in
North Carolina was that it was entirely
feasible TO do this by fitting the little
planes in front of the machine and
bending the tips of the wings And this
was the demonstration, not of the hours
OF practice they had hoped for, but Of
about two minutes--that being the ag-
gregate of their stay in the air
throughout The frst season spent at
Kitty Hawk.
In that tim',, in the disappointing ex-
periments of the year 1901. and in the
gratifying hundreds of flights made in
September and October of 1902, many
new factors were uncovered. The kite
was now used exclusively as a gliding
machine without any control faQm the
ground; and the operator. lying on his
face and looking ahead through the
little anterior planes, had learned many
things

balance was not so quick or effective a
means as was needed, and an improve
ment might be attained through an
existing double-deck machine (the Cha
nute) with a smaller surface placed a
snort distance in front to Offset the "ef-
feet of the travel OF the center pressure
on the main surfaces that changes in
the direction and velocity Of the wind
would have little disturbing effect Cd

right to left might be obtained by bend
Ing the tips of the wings
These were the principles of che first
Wright gliding machine. Wlth slight
alteration and development they are the
principles which this past week have
demonstrated the complete practicable
ity of sailing the air without the inn
Dediment of great bags of gas to ex-
plode, to cut down speed, and to in

AROUSED BY ACCIDENTS.

I WAS such natures that were awak-
ened by accidents TO study asrial
navigation more productivity than
1t had ever been studied in the history
Of mankind. Two deaths and a sick
ness were the strange arousers. Wilbur
Wright has explained this in part BY
saying to the Western Society of En-
gineers:
My a active interest in aeTcnauti-
cal prob ems dates back to the death OF
Lilienthal in 1896. The brief notice Of
his death which appeared in the tele-
graphic news at that time aroused a
passive interest which had existed
from my childhood and led me 10 take
down from the shelves OF our home IL
brary a book on Animal Mechanism by
Prof. Marcy, which I had already read
SEVERAL times. From this I was led TO-
read more modern works. and as my
brothAr soon became equally interested
with myself. We soon passed from the
reading to the thinking. and finally
to the working stage"
The other death was that of a young
English engineer named Pitcher. The
sickness was that of Wnbur's own
brother, Orville. And It Is characters
tic Of these two that when they did
pass from the reading to the thinking
and finally to the working stage" it
was with no conservation of themselves
TO the work even in their own minds
II was as a sport.

FIRST POWER MACHINE

IT He first power machine was made
in the summer and faH of 1913.
We will all appreciate what an adj
vantage II was to these builders that
they were themselves ingenious and
skilled mechanics. Even the Wrights
| probably revealed some confidence in
It's mechanism as they took IL out in
the chill Of a December wind down at
Kitty Hawk.
Eight days before Christmas it was
wheeled onto the sands. The preparations
were made with the utmost care. And
then, if you were yourself thrilled BY
the achievements of this past week at
Fort Myer, think what these two build
ers must have felt as they saw the
vessel rise in the air that dayi It few
three times that afternoon It respond
ed 10 control quite as readily as had the

the roll Of that first wheel which we
followed in fancy at the outset Of this
story, for it was the first time in the
history of the world that a machine
carrying man had raised itself by its
own power into the air in free flight.
The vista that 1T opened was clear OF
uneven surfaces. Of guIlies and hills, OF
lakes and swamps and almost free OF
friction. We think Of transportation
and publicity as the great forces Of
modern and ancient civilization alike

| Developed Several

As a result Of their study Of the theory
Of aerial navigation these two brothers
had developed several material altera-
tiOns in the type Of the heavier-than-air
machine. They concluded that tails
were a source Of trouble rather Of as
sistance; that if the body of the opera
tor could be held PROSTATE rather than
upright it would eliminate a half-horse

time adopting DIT. LangIey's law, and

thai balancing the machine as it ran
was now the prerequisite to making the
atT-runner a practical thing. the Wriehts
designed what was in reality only a
great kite 20 be flown with a man on
board, And in October 1900, they took Il
to Kitty Hawk, n. c.. & little settle
ment on the strip between AlbemarIe
Sound and the Atlantic. There the winds
blew at not less than the twenty-one
miles an hour which these students be-
lieved would be required to float the
kite, and give the practice needed to
divulge the means of balancing.
Practice had heretofore been harder
to obtain than may seem possible.
Lilienthal, whose method of control was
to shift his body from place to place
in his machine. had spent only about
five hours in actual gliding through the
air in Eve years Of time; this according
to calculation made By the Wrights
Ia their home at Dayton. With their
kite they hoped to practice BY the hour
instead of by the second.
