New York to Philadelphia and back in

both with seeming ease.
Abandonment of the Balloon.
For a century or more the aeronauts

We can do a little upping and have an
aerial lark ourselves-or at least we
can If the Wright brothers do not en-
join US.
The Wright brothers are the ones
who did the trick. We can abuse
them all we want to now, call them
dogs in the manger and get peevish
on account of their lawsuits and in
functions. but we are bound to admit
that they are the original %aeroplane
boys. Langley and Chanute worked
out the theory, but did not make it
practical. The Wright brothers by
the use of flexible tips to assure equili-
brium and Of elevation and direction
rudders, as well as sustaining planes,
motor and propeller, solved the prob
lem Of the ages and actually awaited a
heavier than air machine. At Kitty
Hawk, N. c., in the Daredevli-or is it

with gliders until they could slide
down a breeze. Then at their home in
Dayton, O.. they installed a motor and
began to fly at night so that nobody
would catch them at it.
The Original Fly-by-nights.
Strange stories came out Of Dayton
those days. People were sure the
Wrights were flying. but had never
seen them do it. The inventive broth
ers were not yet ready to take the pub
lie into their confidence and until they
were the dear public might as we'll 60
out and lose Itself. 1t is altogether
possible that they were then planning
to take out these very patents which
are nov causing so many grouches
among other aviators. Until they had
perfected their machine and had the
patents safe in their inside pockets
they were not going to let anybody
else steal their ideas. The chief item
Of their patent was the flexible tips
which are used to keep their craft on
an even keel. Any one who has watch
ed the buzzard soar has seen him shift
and tip his wings to maintain his equi-

brothers did with the aeroplane. Why

at least these two great contests will

Baldwin has said that he will enter
