RESOURCES OF The FRENCH.
Why the Country Reeovsrsd From, Its

The resources OF the French people
have always been a surprise 20 the rest
OF the world. The country has repeat

small savings accumulated b. its low

which is sanctioned and directed by
the French government. Is 10 certain

shown throughout France.
The plan provides that a man may
borrow on his land very close 10 the
complete value by arranging IN adj
vance the number OF years that he VIII
take TO pay back the loan. His interest
payments are then arranged at so
much per year. the amount being
greater or less. depending on how soon
he intends that these payments should

are larger.
There Is an added feature. which
would not be considered possible In
this country-viz, an occasional. lot
te-y dra awning by which the man who
draws the lucky ticket has bis mort

provides an absolutely safe means or
saving and is an encouragement to buy
and pay for real estate. Against These
bonds and mortgages the credit foncier
issues its bonds in small amounts bear

are sold in large quantities 10 investors
of moderate means. We have had moth

our people have grown up 10 very

The exhibits will include three of the
latest French models, the Breguet BIZ
plane, Paulhan-Tatan torpedo and the
Newport monoplane. y popularity or
the Breguet is that. while it IS BIZ
plane, it is equipped with monopane
fuselage and novel landing device.
The PaulhanTatan monOplane has up
turned wings without ailerons, the mo-
tor being in front and the propeller in
the extreme rear. The 1912 Newport
is development of the Bleriot type
and has an inclosed fuselage, which
tends to reduce air resistance and al
lows motor lighter than the motors
usually used.
Various Experiments.
The contrast is striking between av-
iatOrs' achievements up TO 1903 and
since that time Between 1885 and
1850 the Lilienthals made experiments
in Germany and Otto Lilientha. was
killed in his first effort to use a motor
with gliding machine. In 1892 Ador
French inventor, made an aeroplane
with q steam motor which flew 00C
feet. In 1894 Sir Hiram Maxim built
an aeroplane the engine Of which was
wonderfully light for a steam motor
and was the basis for the mechanism
of the steam automobile But the ma
chine was too heavy to fly. 1t weigh
| ed two tons.
In 1896 Percy s. Pitcher. an English
engineer. was killed in trying to use 6
four horsepower oil engine on his
glider.
In 1898 Octave Chanute in America
made the first biplane glider and was
able 10 travel at the rate Of twenty
four miles an hour on a thirty pound
machine down an incline OF about tel
degrees. He made hundreds Of sucl
flights safely, and his work was car
ried on by the Wrights.
In 1869 Lawrence Hargrave. an Aus
TRAN. invented the cellular or box kite
and his invention. according to Charlie
c. Turner, was the foundation Of tn
earlier models Of Farman and NJ. San
toS Dumont.
Henson announced that he had de
signed steam carriage that woult
travel through the air at great speet
and would carry passengers. The pic
lures of this machine, which were com
mon in the scientific and pictorial pres
of the time. have several strikingly IA
miliar characteristics to the modern
monoplane.
First ReaI Aeroplane Eiioht
The first successful flight in an aero
plane or by a heavier than air machin
was that achieved by Wilbur Wrigh
in his biplane, the Kitty Hawk, o
Dec. II. 1903, when flight of $50 fee

of the Smithsonian institution, with
Charles NJ. Marley, his assistant, as
passenger, launched his large aero
drome, as he called it. from house
boat on the Potomac river. The fight
was brief and its failure was due TO
the weight Of the machine-two tons
and the fallibility Of the balancing
tests that had been made with smaller
models.
Professor Langley had put into prac-
tice an idea that had been limited at
by one William Samuel Henson N
1871, who became known throughout
the United States and in England as
the man who probably had solved the
problem of aerial navigation. His fame
was unrealized. Excepting the flights
or gliding flights OF Lilienthal there had
been no man carrying machine that
was heavier than air put to practical
test until Langley's aerodrome.
On Sept. 13. 1906, Santos-Dumont
made his first official flight in 'heav-
Ter than air. machine. He was In the
air for twelve yards. He followed
his first flight with one Of $50 yards.
Leon Delagrange also was an object
of attention by reason Of his success
in leaving the ground. Henry Far
