plane 1t has not been done so far although the patent
offices in all civilized countries flooded with specifca-
tions for the purpose And, although am in receptive
state of mind on this particular point am inclined to
doubt whether any automatic device will ever overcome
the tremendous pressure that contrary wind or an u-
favorable influence can exert with its great leverage
upon the broad planes OF the machine of today.
The requirement for safe descent without power can
bv no means be met by the aeroplane True, many OF
us have descended from great heights with the engine
entirely stopped but this cannot be considered prac
teal for we are forced to hit the earth within certain
specified time no matter what the conditions beneath
us may be- and our range of operation is comparatively
narrow. :,
When machine coasts voplanes, as 1t IS called 1t
can be made TO travel horizontally about seven times
as far as it is high In other words II the engine stops
when an aviator mile in the air. he can land seven
miles away from the point above which his glide begins
or he can descend in a spiral or helix with length OF
seven miles, or he combine the two and glide
straight part of the distance until he IS over favorable
landing place and come down the rest of the way IN
spiral, or vice versa.
But it can easily be realized that, in order to have
time to pick out his landing and to control his machine
he must be at great height above the earth when the
engine stops or else he must do all OF his flying over
country that is peculiarly adapted for avlatlon-and
the machine OF the future must be hampered by no Such
restrictions.

A DANGEROUS Task.

The late Quanah Parker, the Indian
chief. was a notable man. Before the
final settlement was made with his
tribe he had fought In more than 100
battles with whites. When he finally
settled down and agreed to live in the
white mans way he kept his word. An
Indian agent once came to him and
told him that the government had or
dered that polygaIny must be abolish.

wives but one. He replied. Il agreed
to obey the governments orders, and
will obey this one. but you must select
