SO swiftly and so profitably that ere
Britz took his cold plunge, the sage

my hunger and supplying the nutri-
ment that so many other prepared
foods lack.

What Has Happened in Two Years

EFT look few of the facts of these last years.
- to which point with being years of such
wonderful progress In the first place, there be
questioning the fact that all present records almost
inconcevaby ahead of those of two years ago. but let
whether that in itself proof of the advancement
claimed for the aeroplane.
On July 25, 1909, Blerot crossed the English Chan
mel. He flew for thirty-seven minutes, and imme
diately proclaimed the designer of machine that had
a wonderful future.
Seemingly this prediction has been fulfilled; for the
Berot monopane of today has flown continuously for
hours has covered 32O43 miles without stop,
has risen 1O499 feet above the EARTH has attained
speed of seventy miles hour and has done other
wonderful things that to denote great advance
ment in design and principle of construction.
But place the machine in which the great Frenchman
crossed the Channel alongside the machines that have
achieved all these records, and the layman would find
it impossible to tell one from the other
Yet there has undoubtedly been great advance. If
it not the machine that has done this, what is it? The
is, it to me, simple 1t is the aviator and
the engine.
Six days before Blerot succeeded in crossing the
Channel, Latham, in an Antonette failed. Two days
after Blerots triumph Latham again tried with
Antonette in which hundred horsepower engine had
been installed and in which the aerons had been sup
planted by varying wings. This time he Jared better;
yet again he failed, coming down in the water when
within mile of the English coast.
All the world knows how easy that Channel crossing
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-02-19

would be to Latham in his Antoinete today. We have
read of his wonderful and successful country and
city flights of how he mounts his aeroplane and
flies away to join shooting party twenty miles away,
of how he escorts the competitors in for miles
France and then, at unchtme turns about and
lands the lawn of his mothers home to join her at
table What marvellous advance this seems to ndl
cate in the AntOlnette monoplane!
As matter OF fact there is not layman in the world
who could point the slightest difference between the
Antonette that Latham flies efficiently today and
the in which he failed disnally in little twenty
two-rnile flight on July 81, 1909.
What then, has made the advance? Again, the
aviator and the engine.
And the instances could be multiplied indefinitely
engine has advanced; the aeroplane already adj
vanced when the adequate eng came, and its only
Improvements have been retinements here and there,
and minor changes which have not altered the general
design the basic principles upon which it flies
Man, however, has improved wonderfully. He has
become used to flying. 1t has become almost instinct
with him. He has hardened his faculties to stand the
unwonted strain that a new sphere has put upon
them. Consequently, he has been able not much to
make his machine do than it previously could,
to take full advantage of the powers had already pos
sessed and to keep using those powers long his
physical and mental endurance would allow him.
do not wish to be understood denying all progress
in aeropane construction. There has been great adj
vancement.
But l maintain that the general principles the
same those which turned the eyes of the world to
Kittyhawk in December 1903, when the Wright
brothers made their first feeble Jumps to Dayton in
September 1904 when they accomplished the first turn,
and then reoiced Wen on the twentieth OF that month,
they managed the first circle and brought the machine
back to its starting point. Or, if we like, go
farther back than that for it nearly twenty-one
years ago October 9, 1900 that Ader in his batlke
Avion, achieved the distinction of being the first
be carried off the ground in heavier than air contriv
ance-and the Avion embodied practically all the prin
cples upon which depend today except the gasoene
engine. And further the most important of these prin
