New York, Oct. 27.-Here's a
aerial navigation, identical with
the strange, weird conception of q
spectacular navelist-advanc by
grave young college professor So
berly and seriously combining the
dreamer and scientist
Prof. Rheinhart Wetzel of New
York city college--the man who
invented a machine which weighs
tho earth and sunbeam with
equal facility-hopes that his ma
chine will now solve the problem
of aviation, or rather deviation, for
Wetzel's airship, if realized, will
not "aviate"-it will float like
some soap.
Need Insulator.
Prof. WetZel proposes to find d
material that will serve as an in
sulator in respect to the force of
gravitation, just as silk, glass and
rubber are insulators against an
electric current. Once found, the
application of such an insulator
would be easy. You would only
need to put on suit of it to en-
able you to jump-over the moon,
perhaps-but at least without any
fear of coming down right away.
And an airship, however heavy,
would weigh practically nothing
at all if incased in this some insu-
lating substance.
Novelist Originator.
Several years ago, Roy Norton,
In Jules Verne-like novel called
problem of aviation, to the salts
faction of his readers and the hap
by winding up of his story, by the
use OF the insulation idea. Now
comes a real scientist and tells us
that Norton's seemingly fantastic
story was not fantastic at all, but
"The Vanishing Fleets" solved the
quite within the pale of POSSIBLE
ity. Thus the time may come when
Norton's floating airships are as
commonplace as Jules Verne's sub
marines are now.
I'VE don't know anything about
gravitation," said Prof. Wetzel in
discussing the possibilities of in
ssulation, I'VE know what 1t does,
but we do not know what it is.
Does gravitation travel, as do rays
of light? l think. sometime, we
shall prove that it does.
"Is 1t like electricity Maybe il
is electricity. 1t may be that all
the objects in this world that W.
know are only forms of electric
ity."
Sometimes, however, it seems
to me that gravitation is the OPP
posite of electricity. II we place
two electrified objects near to-
gether, currents of electricity pass
out from them, and tend to force
the tow objects further apart.
This repellent force. of electricity
is one of its chief characteristics.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-10-27

the passage of currents of gravi-
tation. In other words, somewhere
there may be material that will
insulate objects that neither the
earth nor other objects can attract
them.
THAT would mean mastery of
the air.
1t is not impossible that in rare
soils such gravitation-insulating
material may exist even now. We
do not yet know that radium itself
is not this very material.

yet to be gained about gravjta-

piled Croisset under his breath.
: He lost his wife and children and
1t drove him mad. That is why
we came down SO quietly. He
lived in little cabin out there on
the edge of the clearing, and when

at the end of it. When the plague
