Montgomery, Ala. June 1.-THE things

local camp of the Wright brothers. which
will soon have TO be disbanded. are al
ready beginning to crop out in the wider
scope Of national aviation, 1t appears. In
conversations with men interested in the
science in New York and elsewhere.
Orville Wright, who spent several weeks
in Montgomery, has discussed movements
that had not before been talked of pub

wind upon the machines, both as to hold

squarely astern. One day here Orville
Wright spent some time at an altitude
of 1900 feet studying the effect of a thirty
mile blow on the efforts of the ship to
breast it as well as influences upon the
motor AMI the other parts OF the mechan-
ism. How high did you get?' he was
asked. Il never thought to notice" was
the reply. II was watching the effects
of that altitude and that wind on the
motor and the machinery as a whole"

While here Mr., Wright kept close
watch on the air navigation Of the world
and gave close study to all the reports
Of the long trip made by Paulhan, whom
he had driven out Of this country on the
allegation Of infringement on patents. It

Never Lost His Nerve.
The necessity OF watching every de-

story told by Orville Wright of their
earlier experiments, DID you lose your
nerve as a result of the accident at

Mr.. Wright And he told then OF being

AERO DIVE Is LATEST
French Airmen Crazy Over
New Trick.
EXPERTS ONLY SUCCESSFUL
Cutting OF the Power, Aviator
PIunEes Down from Great Height,
Selling Control of Machine just
Before Striking Ground - Feels
Like Dip in Elevator.

Paris. June 4-The latest craze for air
men and aerobelles-these designations
for aviators have really caught on here
is the aerial dive or vol plane, as the
French call it, but such judgment and
nerve do the feat require that only Paul
han and one or two other famous air
men have as yet attempted It.
Mounting to great height. the aviator
cuts OF the ignition of his engine. thus
robbing himself of all motive power;
points his elevating plano earthward. and
comes diving down at a speed approach
ing 100 miles an hour.
To the spectators IL appears as II he
were dropping sheer to destruction. but
Just before he reaches the ground he
rights his machine dexterously and man
ages TO alight safely. The whole art,
one who has done the trick says, is TO
keep control OF the machine by descend
ing swiftly.

You find yourself as the aeroplane
dips over looking straight down at the
aerodrome below you. Then the earth
seems to rise up as IL It were going to

scending in the fastest elevator ever
built.
The critical moment comes when you
