Has Reputation as Acrobatic Aviator

LIEUT.. ELLYSON AT HELM
EXPERIMENTS ARE WATCHED

Foreign governments have had their
military and naval representatives In
Washington watching the experiments
that this government has been conducting
at the Washington navy yard with the
new catapult device for launching aero
planes. The launching machine is the
design of Capt. W. l. Chambers, in charge
of aviation in the navy. 1t practically is
a compressed air gun that shoots the
aeroplane into the air so that 1t can be
launched from a warship at any time
and the catapult then stored below, out of
the way.
Several tests of the device have been
made, various hydro-aeroplanes being
used. What was generally considered the
supreme test was made yesterday when
the new aero-boat that has been built for
the navy by Glenn Curtiss was shot into
the air for successful flight with Lieut..
Theodore Ellyson, the first of the navy
aviators, at the helm
Boat Large and Heavy.
The new boat is larger and heavier
than any other hydro-aeroplane the gov
eminent has used. 1t has body like a
light, fast powerboat, and seats two pas
sengers side by side, with a double-con-
troll mechanism, SO that either man can
act as aviator. The boat Is driven by an
eighty-horsepower motor. and is capable
of a speed of fifty miles on the water ana
sixty miles in the air.
This launching device is the nrst that
has been practical and successful from
navy standpoint. 1t was proved more
than a year ago, when Eugene Ely flew
from the scout Birmingham ana aIter-
ward flew and alighted on the battle
hot
could be launched at sea- In Doth tneSe
cases. however. a special platform was
built and extensive preparations were
made for the flight.
The new catapult can be clamped to the
ton Of a turret and the turret revolved to
shoot the aeroplane into the teeth of the
wind without even turning the whole or
the vessel. The device takes only half an
hour to erect, and can be taken down
and stored below in less time.
A few trips have been made from Eng
ush warships but these also required
the building of a regular inclined rail-
way on the deck of the vessel, and. while
regarded as possible, were not at all prac-
teal.
Is Acrobatic Aviator.
Lieut.. Ellyson has been the acrobatic
aviator of the navy He has been willing
to try anything, and allowed himself to
be shot from the catapult the first time
IL was used when it was not known what
effect the sudden shock would have on
either the aeroplane or the aviator. he
has been anxious TO develop some practl-
cal form of aeroplane launching that
could be used on warship. and some
months ago flew an aerOplane at Ham
mondsport off a steel cable which was
stretched for an inclined launching way

Two refined Polish girls fought with pins

Bomb-Dropping Device.

Then when the possibilities of bomb
dropping were realized Lieut.. Riley Scott
developed the bomb-dropping device that
bears his name, the only mathematical
instrument of precision that ever has
been applied to aeroplane bomb dropping.
He tried the device at College Park last
summer, but could not even interest the
government in it and was forced to take
it to France where he won the majority
of the $4,000 in prizes offered by NJ
Michelin for the bomb-dropping competl-
ton there.
Afterward Col. l. y. Lewis developed
the lightweight automatic rifle that was
tried out on an aeroplane at College Park.
but was forced to take it abroad, where
1t was at once accepted in Germany.
France and Austria as the first practical
aeroplane weapon.
Now Capt. Chambers Of the Navy has
perfected the battleship launching cata-
pult for aeroplanes. and the military rep
resentatives of all the great powers have
seen the tests and doubtless will recon-
mend it's adoption by their home govern
ments.

far behind the world powers in the de-

the leader in the development Of some
of the most successful military devices.
First the United States produced the fly
ing machine itself in 1903, when the other
nations were merely experimenting with
it. The Wright brothers had to take
their aeroplane abroad to get financial
support for it, after vainly trying to sell
il exclusively to this government
