Theoretically only" he replied The
monopIane has been known. studied that
is, for centuries; the biplane only for
seventy years. For beauty the mono
plane is ahead Of the biplane. But in no
other way. Some people say the day OF
the biplane is past. There is nothing at
all in that. We early decided on the
biplane because it can do everything
that the monoplane can and has strength

EARLY FLIGHTS RECALLED
John La Mountain Lost Two
Weeks Half Century Ago.

The fate OF Alan r Hawley and
Augustus Post recalls several thrilling tales
Of the earlier history OF northerly balloon
voyages in this country, some Of them
with tragic end.ngs. but one at least lend
ing hope that the missing aeronauts may
YET be found alive.
John la Mountain. a well known aero
naut OF half a century ago, in company with
John A HaGdock. was dropped from a
balloon IN the midst OF a Canadian forest
and was lost there for two weeks. but was
finally rescued. La Mountain was among
the first Of American ae-onauts TO take an
interest il long distance voyages. The for
rner Of his two memorable fights was made
from St Louis on July !, 1883 He took
with him several passengers, including the
well known John Wise.
In September Of the same year La Noun
tain assembled with Haddock from Water
town. y Y A strong wind carried them
straight north at a height Of three and
half miles. They suffered greatly rom
the cold. and when evening came on were
glad To tie up IN the wilderness for the
night.
At davhreak they tried Il again. only 10

the wilderness. with no signs of human
ha5itation beneath them. AT length they
landed. and for four days longer wandered
without food. adequate clothing or shelter.
Finally they came across some lumbermen.
who piloted them hack 10 civilization.
They were $50 miles north of Ottawa
and so miles from their starting point
when found. Il was two weeks before
they could get word 10 their friends that
they We're safe
Washington H. Donaldson. also an asso-
ciace Of John Wise. and at one time a
protege Of P T Barnum. lost his life in
Lake Michigan while attempting d long
distance flight from Chicago. Donaldson
began life as a Snowman. ventrlloquist,
Eymnast and magician; then he became an
aeronaut and won a reputation for daring
feats and narrow escapes

opinion concerning the probability Of the
plan TO send Won Phul and O'Reilly out in

Mr Won Phul said tonight, however,
thar he was still preparing for the trip

According 70 Captain John Berry, Of St

America II, the last words Of Hawloy be
fore starting in the race were, We are
good to stay up seventy or eighty hours
and expect to break every record for dis
lance and endurance. I know we are
bound for the Canadian wilderness, but no
timber will stop US We shall sail as long
as the balloon has an ounce Of lifting

Latham in his Antoinette soon over

trouble and descended.
Hoxsey and tombstone went for alti

time. but tombstone could not retain his
supply because he forgot to take his bar
ograph.
Count de Lesseps did not know this,
but gamely started in pursuit.
Latham caught the fever. The sky was
blue steel with strong suggestions of
brilliant silver further up that might
burst through any instant.
The four machines of three types were
silent in a Ilurmurless sea. The aero
planes reflected, chameleon-like. the
color Of the sky where they hung and
lazily swung and met and parted again.

had left below them.
But things are not what they seem. The
sudden glow Of pink white clouds in the
West far beneath the wanderers that
held all spellbound was a deIusion

In the mean time, Latham's Antoi-

Wilbur and Orville Wright stood at

tombstone bumped down in bad spot

Il wonder why tombstone always picks

IN the tent was the real Wright racer.

The racer is only % feet long and 3l5

Latham was seen to come down out

During the second hour, White, in a
