Clabby Has Advantage.

A tally kept on the rounds shows that
out OF the twenty Clabby had six to his
credit and nine were even, while Smith
had only three rounds where he had the
shade. Snowy Baker, the referee, no

he evidently followed the crowd, for it
would not have done either man any
harm to call it draw, while a decision
for Smith was an injustice to Clabby, and
big injustice. With Smith q. The mid

PLAN TO KEEP AEROS
FROM TURNING Over
Motor and Screw Turning 0p.
posite Ways Said to Pre-
vent Upsetting.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

PARIS, March 1, 1911.
The French Society of Civil Engineers
has been engaged lately in studying the
problem of obviating the danger to aero
planes attendant on sudden turns in the
air on alighting, which has been the
cause Of so many deplorable fatal acct
dents The principle which found most ia
vor was that Of the gyroscope, which was
much advocated by NJ. Regnard before
his death a few weeks ago.
Another distinguished engineer, NJ.
Bouchard Praceia. however. thinks that
the application OF the gyroscope principle
to aviation and aeroplanes has been mis-
understood. He says that in every aero
plane there are two rotary organs. which
play the part Of a OVERWHELMINGLY. the
motor ard the screw. AS long as
straight course is kept or large turns
are made the decomposition Of their
forces is comparatively slight. but as
soon as the aeroplane turns sharply, to
avoid an obstacle o. to come to earth,
sudden. violent and uncomfortable action
is set up which destroys mechanism, and
brings about an inevitable fall The vio-
lence Of this decomposition OF force can
only be compared, according to NJ Bou-
chard Praceiq, to the dreaded ''ramming
stroke which, on the too sudden shut
ting off of a valve or tap, causes the
bursting OF pipc.
The Proposed Remedy.
To obviate this danger he proposes to
make the screw revolve in a direction
contrary to the motor, and he combined
the bodies in motion with the spheres of
gyra ton in such a way that the "syratory
couples counterbalance each other as
nearly as possible. 1t would take too
long to explain the technical arrangement
of the motor and screw under different
ventor: but he showed little model OF an
aeroplane with two horoscopes represent
ing the motor and the screw. When sus-
pended by a thread and launched into the
air. with Roth horoscopes revolving In the
same direction. If sudden turn were
given the model either tipped upward or
reared or else plunged almost vertically
downward. When the. horoscopes We're
made to revolve in contrary directions.
however, the model remained horizontal
whether the turn was made to right or
left.
NJ Bouchard Prace!q calls his system
the 'Degyroscopage, and trials made
with an aeroplane at 1ssy. with a motor
and screw arranged after his method,
seemed completely to prove his theory
that, by setting the gyrcscopic influences
on an aeroplane against each other. they
counterbalance and annihilate each others
danger The experiments made are not
vet considered conclusive, but they will
be continued methodicaily. for, If the
a most important problem. If once the
stability of aeroplanes can be made GER
tain ii will Immediately allow OF pas
senger-carrying as a practical application,
instead Of being, as 1t now is, rather a
clever feat.
