CAPT. ]. R. M GREGOR
 RESPONDS TO CALL.
PEA RIDGE CITIZEN SAYS HE CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW ANY TEN NEssEAN CAN TURN A DEAF EAR TO OLD sBoB,

Standing in his office, with eyes look ing toward Pea Ridge. Tennessee, James Richmond McGregor said yesterday that ''Fiddling Bob' Taylor had called upon all the "red necks" of that grand old state to rally to the cause, and that he would go to the aforementioned Pea Ridge next Tuesday and cast lawful, or, if need be, an unlawful vote for the golden-voiced one, who can out-fiddle any man in Tennessee.
 "Old Bob, with white rose blooming in full on the lapel of a fault lessly cut Prince Albert, has issued his edict, and no faithful one could resist the call to arms" said Captain McGreg- or He has pinned upon his brow a wreath of thorns that a people may be saved from the ravages of a cureable issue, and I for one shall listen to that far-away voice. There is no true and triedS patriotic Tennessee son who can listen with unconcern to that plaintive call from Bob Taylor and every dem- ocrat should vote for Bob next Tuesday. He has fddled his way through may a storm and tempest and I take it that after these many eventful years we will not turn deaf ear to him.
 Tn all the contests of Gov. Bob Tay- Tor, who has thrilled many and many Chautauqua audiences, one has never been entered that means so much for the state or for the south. And I for one cannot believe that Tennessee will fail to elect him governor again. His retirement from the Senate, which was an ultimate ambition, after few months of service, is a sacrifice that no person can measure In words and surely the voters of Tennessee will reward him as he deserves. I retain my residence at Pea Ridge and to that place l will go next week. 1 shall give him one true and strong vote and will make at least one effort to rustic the hustings for a man who should have the true respect of all democrats

complete command of space that dis
tinguish the aeroplane all lie in rud-
der A, the altitude rudder
Figure is drawing of the essen
tial details of this wonderful rudder.
The rudder is shown from point of
observation forward of it and to its
left.
The rudder consists, of two hori-
zontal planes, p p. They are con-
nected with framework similar in
shape to the skeleton OF an oblong
box. This framework has the planes
p p for its top and bottom sides. The
framework hinges at the two ends on
the axis represented by the dotted
line. a. 1t is by turning on this hinge
that the planes are made to act as
rudders.
This action is produced in the fol-
lowing manner When the frame
work is tilted so that the fronts Of
the planes point upward, the air
through which the aeroplane is adj
yaneing catches on their under side.
The pressure OF the air on the under
sides of the planes lifts them up, and
SO lifts the nose of the whole aero
plane up, making it take an upward
direction.
When, on the other hand. the
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1910-06-14

planes p p are tilted downward, the
air as it is cleft presses on their
top surfaces and forces them to point
earthward And so they give the
downward direction to the course of
the aeroplane, when the flyer desires
to fly lower.
1t will readily be seen that without
the altitude rudder. A, the aeroplane
would be helpless.
How is the altitude rudder con-
trolled by the areoplanist? The
view in Fig. 2 shows this in the APP
paratus, g G. This is a peculiar but
perfectly simple device The rudder
is pushed forward or pulled back by
long rod. The rod runs from a
crosspiece of the framework Of the
rudder back to the steering wheel 1t
is fastened at the hub Of the wheel.
The wheel works backward and for
ward as well as turning.
More vital still than the altitude
rudder, and certainly more of de-
parture from all other known meth
DDS of equilibrium, are the stabilizing
rudders or fins, B 3. The working OF
these is shown in Fig. 8.
An aeroplane is poised as delicate
~ on its airy even keel as a tightrope
walker on his wire. The stabilizine
fms serve the same purpose as do the
fan of the Japanese tightrope per-
former. They save the flyer from tip
,aivo away. ~ ana oido ~ fIn o+t,nr
Fig. will show how this is done
The purpose of the arrangement here
shown is to to tilt the one plane up
ward and the oppisite one downward
at the same time.
The control of the planes, B B, lies
in the wires c c c. The axis of each
plane lies in the dotted line, A. The
wires, &C, fastened behind the axes OF
the planes, tilt them by an upward OF
downward pull. The wires c c run
down from each plane to pulley al
the corner of the lower sustaining
plane, P. From the pulley they run
straight to the top of the back of the
drivers seat, S. There they are
fastened. When it sways to the right
it pulls the wire that draws down the
rear of the stabilizing plane out al
the left wing tip. When the seat
sways to the left, it draws down tbs
stabilizing plane at the right wing
tip.
The wiring, c, runs also up from
the tops of the stabilizing planes
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1910-06-14
u

through pulleys overhead, and so con-
meets the stabilizing planes from
above. When, therefore, one stabiliz-
ing plane has its after edge pulled
down by the fitting of the seat back,
the same pull, communicated by the
wire overhead to the other stabilizing
plane, pulls its rear up. Whichever
way the one stabilizing plane is
turned, the other one is turned oppo-
sitely.
The manner in which this action
rights the aeroplane will be readily
understood The process is as fol-
lows: AS soon as, in the course Of
flight. the aeroplane says to the left,
the driver leans over to the right in
his seat 1t is the motion that he
would naturally make to find his own
equilibrium. In leaning to the right
he pushes the. seat back over with
him. This pulls the wire that draws
down the left stabilizing fms after
part. Thus the fin turns on its axis,
or in such way as to present a slant
ing under surface to the wind. The
wind delivers an upward pressure on
this surface, and this upward pressure
tends to right the sagging left end of
the aeroplane. AT the same time the
pull that started from the seat back

big engine. Back of the engine and
behind the big planes is the pro-
peller, x.
In the type of aeroplane now most
developed, the propeller, x, placed be-
hind the engine, E, and the driver, at
S, forces the machine forward in a
horizontal direction The planes, p,
P, catch the air on their under sur
faces, slightly inclined and conceived
for that purpose. The pressure lifts
the machine in the air or sustains it
there at a. desired level
The engine that supplies the power
is a gasolene explosion motor closely
similar to that used in automobiles.
Only slight differences are necessi-
tated by the adapting of the engine
to the aeroplane. The controls for
the magnetic and gasolene supply are
placed forward of the engine, at the
drivers seat, S, for he is under the
disadvantage of sitting in front Of the
motor.
1t is now to be seen how the pro-
peller, x, driven by the engine. 2,
sends forward the machine, which is
sustained by the gliding on the air of
the plane, P P, and the similar plane
under 1t. There remains to be seen
the more delicate and difticult part of

needs a second motion of the hands,
which are already busy with the alti-
tude control.

1t is with this wheel, of course, that
the driver turns to right and left,
doubles on his course and makes the
most complicated evolutions.
There are other things that the
aviator has to attend to besides his

Professor McKeever went to some
trouble in his experiment, which was
arranged in imitation of an actual
crime. He drilled three of his stu
dents to perform hold up" and
the little drama was enacted upon a
stage in front of the class A subse-
quent examination of the audience
disclosed the fact that it was at skies
and sevens as to what had actually
happened. The students were unable
to agree as to which of the robbers"
had carried a revolver or worn rain
coat, and all the other facts were sim
ilarly obscure. Any one of the wit
nesses could have given an account
of what he believed he had seen, and
no doubt by itself it would have
passed as good evidence, but unfor-
tunately the student who sat next to
him believed himself to have seen
something quite different.
Professor Munsterberg recently car
ried out whole series of experi-
ments directed toward the same end,
and the result was even more remark
able. He used for the purpose a
large class of students whose powers
of correct observation ought to be
above rather than below the average.
He tested them in great many ways,
requiring them to estimate the num-
Der of co1ored spots upon a sheet of
white paper, the numberof persons in
room, and the length of pendu-
lum stroke. The results showed not
only an extraordinary incapacity to
observe correctly. but still more ex-
traordinary difference in the kind Of
incapacity, inasmuch as the estimate
of one student would be ludicrously
too high, while that of the man next
to him would be ludicrously too low
1t is evident that we must revise
our opinion as TO the value of eye
! witness evidence. It's value seems te
