MOTORLESS FLYER BUMPS
Youthful Builder Hurt in First
Trial of His Aeroplane.

MOutclair. N =, Nov % tSpeciall.-ber-
nard Mahan, seventeen years old. of this
town. was painfully injured to-day in
trial fight Of a flying machine which ne
and Harry Bruno. another young man OF
Moatclatr, had been al work on for year
The airShip Is Of the Wright type, though
the youthful builders have secured prlorl-
ties on TWO patents.
The boys did not have money enough 10
purchase a motor OF the type that hao
been responsible for the rapid advance OF
the airship- However. the young men were
not discouraged. The buying OF the motor
could be deferred until the ume when theE
had demonstrated that their homemade air
ship was built on sound principles They
constructed a inclined plane, forty feet III
length. from the roof Of barn This plat
form. al its terminus. had a slight incline.
The BOYS reasoned that the a1rship as
II rolled down the incline at rapid speed
and struck this elevation al the end would
have momentum enough TO shoot into the
air and demonstrate whether or not 1t vas
capable Of sustained fight.
This u~oerarnrlle was carried out to-day in
the presence Of . number Of friends Of the
young men. Malian, sturdy youth. was
chosen as the pilot Of the machine on its
initial fight He was cool and collected as
ne took his seat IN the mot u less aeroplane.
When all was ready Mahan gave the sig
nal. Let -er co. The machine was re
leased. and down the steep roof and on TO
the inclined plane il glided as smoothly and
rapidly as lis builders had anticipat ted.
There was a shout Of JOY from the crowd
when 1he machine. skilfully guided by Ma
han. gracefully leaped into the air upon
striking the elevated part Of the platform
The airship. with its human burden, shot
upward for a distance Of thirty feet Then
il few like 4 bird through the air for about
one hundred feet under TIE impetus given
by its descent from the roof OF the barn.
The spectators held their breath as the
craft neared the ground Young Mahan
was exertinc every effort TO bring il to
earth easily. but MS unfamiIiariJy with
such work prevented success. He pulled
one Of the guiding levers too far. or else 1t
didn't go far enough, for the machine came
down with a bump that smashed one Of
The wings and put the rudder ouU Of com
mission Nahan was hurled 10 the ground
when the machine struck. He got a severe
gash over the LEFT eye, his arm was
Sprained and he was badly shaken up
Both he and Bruno. however. are en-
thusiastic over the demonstration. Their
machine can fly, and all they need to make
it competitor with the machines OF the
crack fiers Is motor Of the necessary
horsepower.
