There is a strong probability that

Stewart of Sedgwick, is preparing a
bill which will compel owners of
ground in cities of the first and second
class to plat their land before offering
1t for sale. His bill will enable the
county clerk to secure a plat of the land
and charge the work to the property
owner.
Fred Robertson, of Rawlins, has a
bill, which if passed will compel all
railway and telegraph companies to
maintain adequate telephone facilities
over their entire system; and places this

J. ARMSTRONG DRExEL AND HIS BLERIor MoNop14ANR

records established today these three
become in a great measure interde
pendent and inseparable. I mean by
that that when mans brain becomes
tired his body becomes tired with it,
and that when his nerves are shatter-
ed his body and brain give way too.
During the trials in the Gordon
Bennett cup race at the Belmont park
meet, near New York, last October,
had had built for my Bleriot a special
set of racing wings. They were the
smallest surfaces it was possible to
fly with even at the maximum speed,
and were made with as little span
from tip to tip as was absolutely nee
essary, so that there should be the
smallest conceivable head resistance
when the machine was in motion.
On the day when the Gordon Bennett
trials took place had had these little
wings put on. had never flown with
them, but knew that 1t would be use
less with the regulation sized wings to
try to compete against the two 100
horsepower engines that were entered
because mine was only a fifty horse
power. So had to trust to luck that
everything would go right.
The Greatest Danger In Flying.
In flying an aeroplane the greatest
danger comes from the constant tend
ency of the machine to tip over to one
side or the other. a gust of wind, a
movement of the aviator's body-any-
thing and everything tends to throw it
off its balance, and the minute it be-
gins to tip downward on one side it
must be righted.
There are two ways of doing this.
A mechanism is provided by which
the rear edges of the ends of the
planes can be pulled down a few
inches, thus offering on that side where
this depressing or 'swarpfng' is done
a greater impact against the air and
consequently developing a greater lift
ing power. When the right wing is
warped" or pulled down at its rear

III.-The Physical Strain of Flight

edge it makes the machine rise on that
side, and the mechanism at the same
time pulls up the rear edge of the left
plane, thus lessening the impact on
that side and causing it to fall. 1t is
in this way that the aviator controls
his balance, warping his wings as he
dips one way or the other and keeping
himself on an even keel. After he has
become thoroughly experienced he
learns to balance without warping I'M
der ordinary conditions, for it has been
found that steering the machine toward
the high side brings it again to the
horizontal. Then he uses the warping
devices only in emergencies.
On this day at Belmont park the
wind was nasty and gusty, and | was
in trouble at the very start The ex-
tremely small breadth of the planes, I
found, gave me practically no hori-
zontal support, and, though 1 kept
steering first to one side and then to
the other as the machine careened
over dangerously, found that this
simple method of righting my balance
would not suffice. had to keep warp
ing my wings to their utmost limit,
and not for one. moment did this ne
cessity cease.
In the seven laps of the course that
I made cannot tell how many times
felt that l was turning over in the
air. Almost momentarily 1 felt as
though / must go crashing to the
ground below, for try as 1 did I could
not get an even balance on the little
planes for any length of time.
1t was a totally new experience for
me. and regretted more than once
