No one has a better right today to
answer that query than Mr.. Atwood, and
he refuses. He is right. Prophecy is dan
gerous. We see no likelihood of the aero
planes ever carrying freight economically;
but in that function the railroad has never
matched the steamship, or even the canal
barge; and the steamship may never sur
pass the six and seven masted schooner
with winch-set sails and gasoline auxiliary.

The feat Of Harry Atwood in flying from
ST. Louis 70 New York by way OF Chi
cago, a distance OF l26S miles as measured,
sets a new record OF voyaRe-length in the
air II kept well within the time limits.
1t was accomplished with the same ma
chine from start TO finish. Most signifi-
cant OF all the entire trip was finished
upon a schedule which brought the intrepid
navigator TO nearly every town upon his
route at the expected time.
such q trip is faulty enough when meas
ured by the vision OF prophets striving 70
pierce the veil OF the future ana think out
what further achievement is possible. But
when one considers that the art OF avia-
ton is practically less than five years old
Atwoods feat is marvellous indeed.

death after making 1000 experiments with

For there were practical men who had
noticed that a bird has two ways OF flying,
and reasoned that We might take our choice
OF them. bird flaps his wings Justify

Of forty-two miles an hour and better. Far
man made distance of l44 miles.
Last year the aviation season began early
with Glenn H. Curtiss record-making
flight for the World from Albany to New
York on May %. the first record Of actual
travel in the air of more than moderate
distance from point to point. He made
fifty-four and a half miles an hour for
the entire distance. Leblanc in that year
flew 4S5 miles without stop No railway
engine travels nearly so far unchecked;
no railway engineer drives so far in one
day.
Great distance flights, to which Atwood's
feat sets the eapstone, have been the TEA
ture of the present year. The PARISH Rome
and Paris-Madrid flights led up 70 that
in which Vedrnes and Beaumont won fame
ana fortunes in day-after-day travelling up
and down the length of England and to
the German national contest in which
Konig won the previous distance record
OF ll64 miles. Atwood's feat was the more
remarkable. Vedrines and Beaumont wers
the only men out OF twenty starters who
finished the English course. Atwood
started alone and never felt the spur OF
competition.

thai and Pitcher and Herring and a dozen
others they began with elders. They
worked in Kitty Hawk, n. c.. skimming
down steep slopes with wings of bamboo
and cotton cloth and figuring out problems

to put engines in the glider-and fly.
They were the first men that ever flew.

The nod OF APPROVAL from tho
