IL is on his farm that Senator

balloons or dirigibles do not aviate.
because a balloon floats like bubble
and does not fly like a birG. che
dirigible is just a step from the bal
loon, being gas bag shaped long and
pointed and furnished with propeller
and rudder to force it through the air.
On the other hand, the aeroplane is
heavier than air. is all firm and solid
and raises itself with the brushing Of
its wings on the air when driven for
ward by it's propeller. Any kind Of
machine that depends on this wing or
kite principle to hold it up is an aero
plane. There are many kinds. but
most of them are biplanes. and occa-
sionally there is a triplane. Here is
the difference: The monoplane has
just one single plane, stretching out
like a single pair of spread wings
The biplane has two such planes, one
above the other in tiers. A machine
with three tiers of planes is triplane
and one such built in England has
proved a steady fiier.
It took long time to invent an
aeroplane that would fly. But the
minute one was invented there was no
difficulty finding persons TO invent
names for the various parts of it,
Aileron is a French word and means
little wing. The ailerons are the
little wings out at the tips of the big
wings that twist so as to right the aer-
oplane and keep it from falling over
on one side. Sometimes they are sep
arate from the main planes. as in the
Curtiss. Sometimes they hinge right
upon them. as seen in the Farman.
Sometimes there are no ailerons be-
cause the whole wing tip is flexible
and is warped to do the work, as in
the Wright. The ailerons are really
kind of fin rather than kind of
wing. for fishes have fins that they
