volving horizontally. like inverted
basins The rotary wings. with their
horizontal movement, will, it is claimed
enable the machine 10 travel In any kind
OF weather and by its own power raise
itself vertically from the ground It is
said the invention is in advance of any
thing already constructed. Ayiators and
experts, however, express considerable
doubt as TO the success Of the advanced
Improvement. and question whether a
machine Weighing so much can lift itself
from the ground or prove a decided sue
cess in other ways.
Scottish aviators experience difficulty
in experimental flights on account of the
heavy atmosphere or damp cold encount-
cred, as in other northern countries. Ex-
cept one or two summer months, the
cold in the air makes practice or expert;
ments hazardous The south of England
or Germany and France appear TO be
the more inviting field TO conduct trial
trips of new machines. Drexel, the
American. who won the championship at
Lanark, IN Scotland. for high fight dur

cold OF the high Scottish attitudes.
