riding-that caused this line to take
such an appearance.

and when / was sure that I must be
somewhere near there looked at my
barograph and found that it registered
nearly thousand feet short of my
mark. l had almost reached the limit
of my strength. 1t seemed impossible
to make the Bleriot climb any higher,
yet l showed her nose up at an angle
that threatened destruction if any
thing went wrong, but the motor only
spat protestingly and dragged her for
ward horizontally without seeming to
pull her up an inch.
| decided to see what an increase Of
speed would do. Accordingly I headed
the nose of the Bleriot downward. and
with the engine running at it's utmost,
| took a deep plunge into the space
below and kept plunging until my
speed must have been somewhere near
100 miles an hour. Then, with this
tremendous impetus. l headed the ma
chine upward again at good angle
and was rejoiced to find that l not only
climbed above my starting point, but
that the propeller seemed able to hold
me there without difficulty.
Time after time l tried this extreme
~ dangerous expedient, and at the end
OF each rise l found myself little
higher than I had been before, and,
best Of all, | found that was able to

V.-Bumping the Bumps In the Air

est fight with the bumps" in the air.
The weather was ideal for climbing.
1t was cold, but the air was fairly still,
and the first few thousand feet of my
ascent were made smoothly and with
out much difficulty in a steady rise
that was almost mechanical in it's ex
actnesS.
The barograph record is interesting
in showing the progress of this flight.
For those who do not know it may be
we'll to explain that the barograph is
an instrument which registers altitude,
and by means of a pen point filed
with indelible ink it records the varia-
ton in a constant line on a piece of
paper which is moved around by clock
work.
Story Told by Barograph.
This Paragraph record shows that in
the first fifteen minutes I rose to
height of 4,5OO feet. The increasing
difficulties of the climb are indicated
by the fact that at the end of the next
fifteen minutes 1 was only about 7,7OO
feet high, but the line traced by the
pen up to this point is fairly steady,
and only when it passes the 1000 foot
mark does it begin to waver. It was
during this part Of my fight that the
strain began to tell upon me and the
steadiness Of my climb was interrupt
ed by frequent descents.
In the next few minutes got my
self together better, for the line shows
a sudden jump Of nearly thousand
feet in about five minutes, and then it
is plain to be seen that my troubles
began, for the line from $500 feet
to the topmost limit, which was graft
fyingly close to the 10000 mark, is lit
tie more than a blur. 1t shows that
the pen point was vacillating up and

,NTAO the man on the ground flying
E in an aeroplane looks like the
III smoothest sailing in the world.
Under ordinarily favorable
weather conditions the air craft seems
to skim along on a perfectly even keel
and without the slightest deviation
from a straight line, and that is possi-
bly, one reason why the average man
thinks that the life of the aviator
must be one constant succession Of
pleasant and exhilarating experiences.
Air conditions 500 feet from the
earth are vastly different from those
5000 feet up. The lower layers of the
atmosphere are enticingly smooth and
easy to sail upon and offer none of
the unpleasant surprises which we get
as we go higher and higher. There Is
nothing in the first 500 or 1000 feet
to look out for except the vagaries of
the wind, and these can usually be
pretty we'll forecast from the indica
fions on the ground before starting
and from the conditions met in the
first few minutes of fight.
But up above that, in the realm of
the scudding mists and the drifting
fringes of clouds, where one dashes
out of a warm air current into the
GOODNESS of suspended moisture. one
meets surprise after surprise and is
forced to be always on the alert, with
brain calm and hands and body ready
for instant action at the first sign of
an aerial hillock or ravine.

met them first very early in my ex
perience when l began practicing alti
tude flying at my private grounds at
Beaulieu, in England. My first eXpe
rience with them was a complete sur
prise to me. l was flying comfortably
and easily at a height of about 5000
feet It was toward sunset, on a per-
not q breath had disturbed me from

So smoothly had my climb gone on
that I had relaxed my vigilance and
was sitting back comfortably, really
enjoying the fight, when suddenly the
and l felt myself falling straight for
the earth. For hundred feet or more,
I should say, we fell, and then the
Bleriot landed on cushion Of air and
I landed on the seat of the BIeriot with
a bump that Jared me.
Fortunately I was headed slightly
downward at the time and was able to
recover my equilibrium, but the shock
of the surprise was sufficient for one
day Of flying for such a novice as l
was at that time, and I came to earth
at once
When Glenn Curtiss made his IA
nous fight from Albany to New York
he was several times almost thrown
from his seat by these sudden drops
through "holes" in the air. So serious
an impression did it make upon his
mind that, am told, he has since had
the back of his seat made with little
curved metal braces that go over his

al the shrieking fiends Of the air. The
wind screeched past my ears. Madden
ing shreds seemed to whip into my
eyes with knife edges that sometimes
seemed as though they were cutting
into the flesh. Every square inch of
my body felt as though it were being
gripped by unseen hands that were
literally lifting me from my seat, so
great was the pressure of the air as
rushed through it, l had to hold my
breath and shut my eyes, for it was
impossible to inhale in the terrific rush
of the wind past my mouth, and to
have held the eyes open would be to
have courted blindness, temporary at
least. -~,.e- ~~,.. ... .zsa.f&ss~.5A..-..
When turned upward 1 went at an
angle little short of suicidal. Had
anything failed it would have been
impossible for me to get the machine
on an even keel and head her down
ward. There would have been no al
tentative but a backward drop to in
evitable and awful destruction.
For about twelve minutes, as shown
by the barograph record, l continued
this desperate means of attaining my
goal. Finally l looked at my baro-
graph and saw, as l thought, that the
needle had reached the 10000 mark.
thought of nothing then but Of ending
the strain and getting to earth again
Gs quickly as possible. So I headed
her downward and dropped at such
terrific speed that the indelible ink in
the pen point could not flow fast
enough to make a mark, and my baro-
graph record shows no trace whatever
Of my descent. 1t is for this reason
that I doubt whether any human be-
ing ever lived through such fall, for
know of no other barograph record
on which the same conditions can be
found
The first part of this upward climb
was smooth and easy, with one excep-
ton. That exception, which illustrat
ed another phase of the rough riding
in the air-of humping the aerial
bumps-came as I burst through the
clouds and into the sunlight above.
Here we always expect to find gusty
winds. The clouds seem to have the
effect of breaking up air currents, just
as hills and valleys will do on the
earth, and the change Of temperature
from the cool moisture of the mist to
the dry heat of the direct sunlight has
a tendency to create whirlpools and
vortices that are mighty nasty things
to fight in an aeroplane.

cal year.
The increase in the expectation
of this article of American manufac-
ture has been almost as rapid as tie
growth in thei" use in the United

1901, only decade ago, was less
than one million dollars, in 1902 it
passed the one million dollar line, in
half million dollars; in 1905, two

seems likely Ito be, for automobiles
alone, about fourteen million dollars,
for parts thereof, except tires, about
three and one-half million dollars;
and for tires, about two and one-half
million. These figures are all for
calendar years
Even this increase in value does
not fully represent the increase in
the number of machines exported,
since the export price has fallen in
the meantime The average export
price Of automobiles exported in
1908 was in round terms, So, 900; in
1909, $500; in 1910, little over
1900; and in the seven months of
the year 1911 for which figures are
now available, little over 1000

fallen practically one-half since 1908

ces being obtained by dividing the
stated number of automobiles expor-
ted into the stated value thereof for

Canada is by far the largest mar
ket for automobiles exported from
the United States. OF the practically
nine thousand machines exported in
