Flying Machines in 1881

Poe wrote his great balloon hoax in 1885. Jules Verne wrote Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea-
 Ong before the first submarine. Everyone knows of these dreams of great writers, but few people know men no less imaginative to render such dreams realities. MT. Charles G. Curtis. who in 1886 took up the investigation of steam turbines with the results now so weN known, and Professor Francis B. Croeker, director of the Crocker-Wheeler O., who in 1889 was appointed to bake charge of established in this country at Colum- bia University, are two practical men who took Up the subject Of aerial navigation in 1881, tl1irty-one years ago. In 1912 the gradual solving of this problem is costing it's toll of hu- been killed so far this year. The pre- science of Crocker & Curtis Is shown by the following article pub sished in the New York Commercial in November, 1881. It is clear from the description that the purpose of the invention was to control the motion of a balloon upward or downward, al so Horizontally against well as with the wind. and this couBd be accom- p1sfred from the earth or from the car of the balloon. The power was to be produced by an electric motor because the gasoline engine was not developed until nearly 25 years later. ed speaking of the practical utility of a flying machine for war purposes It has proved invaluable t0 the Ita1- ians in Tripoli, and it's use recently broke up the great naanoeuvreS in England.

 Heye they have perfected an electrical contrivalpoe that will enable them to control the direction of a captive bal
 loon in motion. The new flying ma chine is yet only theory, but it will soon be put to a practical test.
 Many of the details, although fully worked out, cannot be made public, as the inventors have not completed their patents. MT. Crocker, however, did not hesitate to give a. general descrip- ton of the new machine this morning. He declared it the most simple of any that has so far been proposed The motive power and steering apparatus in diameter. with wide blades of thin steel The fan is to work hordzcn- tally, deriving it's power from an cleo tric motor suspended below, while be- low the motor and fan the car or ba-s- l1et wdll be suspended. The motor is to weigh not more than 200 pounds, fan will ordinarily make 1,5o0 revoIu= tfons per minute, but can be fncreaS- ed to 5000 or even 5000 revolutions in case of an emergency. The steel blades acting against the air at such speed will be sufficient to carry the upwards. and to steer it with or against a current of air by defec- tions of the fan.
 The new machine is not, however, a free agent to fit like a bird where it listeth. but must remain captive, con nected by wire with a dynamo which wifi furnish power to the motor Up to the present time no storage or pri- mary battery has been discovered of sufficient power or HgtItness that it could be carried by the machine itself Mir.

BlRDMAh FALLS MILE AND ESCAPES WITH
 BUT A FEW BRUISES

Hammondsport, N r., Nov. GA fall of more than a mile failed to kill Charles E. Niles, an aviator in the flying school near here, when his en- zine broke yesterday and he was forced to descend with dead plane in a strong wind. He escaped with a few bruises.
 Niles had been in the air four and a half hours flying against a fifty mile wind, when one of the connect ing rods became loosened and tore a hole, in the crank case, bringing the engine to a dead stop. The aviator picked field for a 1andin~ place and started to volp1ane. The wind, how ever, was so strong it carried him back far beyond his chosen landing place. and he was forced to make a sheer drop into an orchard about three miles beyond.
 He struck the ground with such force that he was thrown from his seat through the air, landing several yards from the plane, which came to a stop with it's nose in the ground with In twenty feet Of stone wall.

Many people have poor teeth, weak gums, sore teeth and other bother some troubles that prevent a vigorous mastication of food. And instead of eating soft, musuhy food that pals on the appetite they go Sin for those sa- worry dishes. the very odor of which starts the saliva and makes the Stom- ach fairly reveI with anticipation.
 This is but a natural condition. Any thing else borders upon the indimer- ence which fosters indigestion and chronic dyspepsia
 It may be safely said that it should not be a question of diet or kind of food, or teeth or even any of the re- f1exes which are supposed to have their influence in deranging the stom ach. It is simply a matter of sup plying the stomach and digestive or ganS with those known assistants such as pepsin, and hydrochIoric acid, both of which have direct and power full action upon the contents of the stomach.
 One grain of a single ingredient in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of food. This saves your stomach and gives it the rest it needs. All muscles require occasional rest If they are ever over-taxed. The stonn- ach is no exception to this rule.
