More Then All Else in
Navigation Of The Air.
10 Per Cent 10 Machine, IS TO
Motor, Rest TO the Man.
About 5000 Patents Already Issued
on Flying Machines.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Multifarious
as are the new devices which are be-
ing applied to the navigation of the
air, in connection with the present day
activity of that sport none is or is
likely to be found to take the place
of brains in the aviator. This is the
opinion of James II. Colwell, the pa
tent office expert, who has immediate
charge of all flying machine lnVen-
tons, and who has given personal at
tention to almost every application Tor
a patent in that line. Summing up
his views today, he said:
Ten per cent. of the success oi
every aerial flight is due to the ma
chine, - per cent. to the motor anu
"a Der cent. to the man. The man Oh
indecision, poor judgment. weak nerves
or slow Judgment is as much out OF
Mace i'm an airship as q defective mo-
tor
Airship invention has received
stirring. impetus within the past re"
years and there is no more rellapie
index TO this activity than that dls-
played by the records of the Unlteo
States patent office. 1t began WIN
the first exhibitions by the wright
brothers off the North Carolina coast,
and has increased in geometerlc ratlo
since that time, with the consequence
that I'D to date about 5000 patents
have been issued on these machines
themselves or on devices connected
with them. The bureau is now hand
ling on an average of about 80 cases
a month. Much attention is given by
inventors to "Stablizing" by which is
meant the keeping of the air car IN
the right position. In case of accident
they have a tendency to turn turtle
and in that event they seek the center
of gravity with a suddenness when
generally means disaster to the oper-
ator. Already vast improvements
have been made and much more is
hoped for in this direction.
Inventors also are seeking for i'm
proved methods of arising and alight-
| ing, and there are numerous applica-
tions for patents covering these points
Inventions looking to the use of the
arShip in time of war also are pour
ing into the office, as are counter-in-
ventiOnS which contemplate protec-
ton against them. AS the patent Of
flee views the situation, the difficulty
is using the aeroplane for dropping
projectiles is found in the uncertainty
which must necessarily accompany
such effort. With a machine going
from 80 to Is miles an hour. as most
of them do, it is extremely difficult to
direct a projectile so as to insure its
striking the mark, even though that
mark be battleship or an extensive
fortification.
large number of airship cases
now coming into the patent office are
those dealing with foreign patents.
The European governments are more
liberal in their encouragement of the
development of aerial navigation than
the United States and as a consequence
greater activity prevails among the
foreign than among the American in
ventOrS.
