is the greatest wonder OF the century Yet the
airman is impatient and his cry is for great
er speed In speed he secs the solution of his
greatest problems Gradually 1t has dawned upon
him that the air is the IDEAL element for high
speed trafiic-that through the air before very
long speeds will be attained which are pos
sibe with vehicles on land ships on the sea
To the makers Of engines the airman says, GIVE
me more power. which spells speed" To the build
ers of aeropanes he cries Construct me planes
capable OF the maximum of speed"
And the speed OF aeroplanes has been creeping
up. At first II was 35 miles an hour. Then came
40. Soon this was left behind Round prepared
aerodrOmes pace of 40 and so miles an hour was
attained Nor did the seeking Of speed end here
With racing monoplanes rate Of So and GO miles
an hour was possible Not satisfied with this
pilots have added mile by mile, until the latest
record is &C miles an hour.
In response to an inquiry along this line an ex-
pert recently said: Personally believe that this
is only the beginning OF the speeds that aero
planes will be able TO attain. Some one was dis
cussing this vitally interesting aspect Of arman
ship with me only the other day. He asked the
question, Al what rate will aeroplanes be flying
through the air in a comparatively short space OF
time" My answer was, In six months | fully
pect that monopane viii be registering speeds
OF 100 miles an hour Friends OF mine who are
experts upon the scientific aspects OF airmanshp
predict that eventually speeds of 200 and 300
miles an hour will be possible At this ones imag
nation is apt TO reel But this much is certain:
II the flying machine is TO become Of real impor
tance and not remain a sporting toy It will need
TO be speedler than any method OF transit

"The aeroplane engine is the crux OF the situa
tion. Upon its development-Tapid or slow-de-
pends also the development OF airmanship. Fortu-
nately for the science I'm which are all so In
terested, the flying machine motor is already max
ing quite extraordinary strides AS a weknown
maker remarked to me the other day Each motor
which we turn out nowadays marks a step up
ladder OF progress. And the engines for aircraft
are not only being made more reliable, but they
also weigh less than they did at first for each

I'VE do not want TO hamper airmanship with too

top of a peak nearly 1000 feet high in an isolated
part Of the Blue Ridge mountains-that which no
better location could be imagined for this class
OF work
There are not many buildings AZ this kite-ny-
ing outpost but "A substantial stone structure has
been provided for use as a kite house. This is
the headquarters for corps of five men who
devote all their time to this branch Of aerial
work. More than two dozen kites constantly
Kept on hand and in readiness for and in
cluded In this equipment samples OF all the
different kinds OF kites which have been used by
any OF the foreign governments that have
gagged In scientific kite flying However Uncle
Sans experts have developed some designs OF
kites that are superior to anything known abroad
and particularly have they evolved a wonderful
new type of kite that can be sent aloft I'm the
fierce gales that sweep the Virginia noun
tans. The ordinary kite will fly in any wind
with velocity of ten miles per hour more
but is not adapted to use when the wind exceeds
25 miles per hour. However, this new style kite
which weighs but eight pounds and has a lifting
surface of So feet, has made successful flights
more than a mile In height when the wind was
blowing a gale of 46 miles hour.
The government experts have sent up kites at
Mount Weather high as $4,000 feet, which
means, of course, several miles. or course
rope string can be used for such kite flying,
but wire must be employed The wire is wound
upon an immense reel OF forged steel and the kite
flying Is in reality done by machinery, this reel
being operated by threehorsepower electric mo-
tor. When it is desired to haul down or draw In
a kite this reel is set in motion at any speed de-
sired. The steel drum has capacity for carrying
10000 feet of piano wire, which is much more
than would be required for any kite flight that
will ever be attempted The object Of Uncle
Sans kite flying is of course TO explore the upper
air and to that end automatically operated record
ing Instruments are attached to every kite sent
up. These bring down records not only of the
altitude attained by the kite but OF the tempera-
ture at various attitudes and other information OF

ham Bell, the inventor of the telephone has there
past few years performed some wonderful expert
ments with a type OF kite made up Of triagu-

While the man-lifting kites have thus been de-
veoping to the point Of undre6medof possibilities
another branch of scientific kite flying has been
making like progress. This entrances the use
OF kites for studying the conditions of the upper
air and obtaining data to be used in forecastng

world have been using kites in this way but the
lead has been taken by the United States gov

PRESIDENT
MENDOZA WILL
Retain His Post as Head of
the Government of Pana-
ma-Friction With Our
Country Probable.
RY limited Press Wire.

Panama, Aug. 23.--Under the in
fluence of his secretary. NJ. Morales,
rabid anti-American, Acting Presi-
dent Mendoza has reconsidered his
resignation, and today announced that
he would retain his post.
It is freely predicted today that
American marines will have to be
landed to insure a peaceful outcome
OF the national assembly's election of
president on September /, The as
sembly, which Is composed of twenty
Liberals and eight Conservatives, is
of rabid tendencies and 1t Is feared
that IL will select some one to fill the
unexplred term of President Obaldia,
who died shortly after his election
and in whose place Mendoza, a negro,
has been serving as acting president,
who will be distasteful not only to
Washington but to "A large part of the
Panama republic.
The prevalent belief in Panama Is
that the United States will counte-
nance the selection OF Mendoza by
the national assembly, on the ground
that II would be violation OF the
Panama constitution, which prohibits
the reelection of a president who has
served six months prior to the elec-
ton. The assembly does not wish to
invite trouble with the United States
which, by treaty, is bound to uphold
the country's constitution.
