INVENTION SAVES AlRMAN
Twomley Held Securely in Seat
When Machine Falls.

Mineola. Long Island, Oct 25.-w. Irv-
Ing Twomley, the aviator. probably es-
capped death in an aeroplane accident this
afternoon because OF a safety device he
had invented.
The invention consists OF a series Of
straps passing over his shoulders to a
disk In front Of his chest, and held there
by pin, which prevent an aviator from
falling from his seat. Twomley's engine
went dead when he was up about seventy
I'VE feet, and the machine started TO de-
scend rapidly. The straps held Twom-
ley, and he released the pin as he neared
the ground and. then jumped clear of the
machine, which was wrecked.
The aviator's wife, who was in her au-
tomobile. about a mile away, watching
her husband through glasses, saw the ac-
cident and sped over 10 him. She found
him unhurt.

Mystery to Neighbnrs.

What the inventor did not explain was
that his quiet work on something of
(which the residents of Waldwick knew
nothing has been the source of great
speculation among them. Laboring
alone on the parts of his machine, ex-
cept for occasional help several years
ago the persevering inventor proceeded
slowly because Of his lack of knowledge
Of practical mechanics. The work was
done piece by piece and 1t was only this
spring, when the airship was put to-
gether in the open, that the purpose of
Mr. Merricks work was made known.
In addition tdAthe fundamental differ
ence in his craft from others, the ship
shape. Mr.. Merrick has combined several
other features which he believes will
prove valuable. One is the use OF TWEEN
ty-four concaye paddles Of wood and
cloth, arranged in groups OF three each,
10 propel the machine in place of screws.
These paddles are arranged in three
groups on either side and one on either
end They are in appearance like the
old-fashioned side wheels on boats, the
paddles revolving under hood Of cloth.
These hoods, the inventor believes, will
also act as parachutes in the descent of
the machine.
Behind each paddle box, on the sides, are
peculiar v-shaped folds of the covering,
which is not canvas, but high-grade
quality Of cloth. These folds are to catch
and hold the air stirred up by the pad
dies in their boxes and to pass IT on TO
the next set of paddles. AT what might
be called the prov and stern Of the craft
are projecting frameworks of the best
canadian sRJuce. These are also cloth
covered and take the place of bow and
stern in a boat Beneath the stern pro-
lection is a double rudder, to guide the
craft TO either side or in its ascent and
descent. This cloth and wood part cor
responds 10 the body of yacht, and is
seventy-five feet long.
Beneath the superstructure is a plat
form which resembles the keel Of a yacht,
viewed from the side. The operator sits
well forward on this platform, with the
engines before him. This part of the
craft is of Canadian spruce, which is
used throughout, except for few pieces
of bamboo, which support the cloth.

Retired Business Man InVentS
Unique Type After Eight
Years Effort.
HOODS TO SUSTAIN LOAD

Paddle Box-0utline of
Machine Is That of
Yachts Hull.

After eight years of almost continuous
work. an airship which is absolutely
unique in its principles has been con-
structed by L, D. Merrick, an elderly and
yatired business man, formerly Of New
York. who now makes his home at
Waldwick. n. J. Designed along orig
,pal lines. those Of a hign-speed yacht.
the air craft has practically reached
completion and will receive its trial with
in a few days.
At the old farm which the inventor has
leased for his work visitor found Mr..
Merrick yesterday putting the finishing
touches on the steering gear. To all APP
pearances the craft, which has been a
source Of the keenest curiosity TO the
people Of the surrounding country. is
done. At first sight it looks not unlike
the skeleton Of yacht; in fact, the ship
,dea is the one for which the inventor
? has particularly worked. Although he
acknowledges freely that he IS not a
practical mechanic, he has been inter
sstsd in air craft since he was a boy. and
believes an airship built on the lines Of
water vessel will be found the most
practicable.
Every monoplane and biplane in use
to-day" Mr.. Merrick explained TO re-
porter for The Tribune. has been built
with the notion that navigation can be
accomplished best by stretching a broad
strip of canvas on a frame and then
pushing It broadside through the air. l
had read every book l could put my
hands on bearing on the subject Of avia-
ton and came to the conclusion that a
craft which would cleave the air would
be better. So, when in 1904 l found it
possible TO work out my ideas, l came
here and started experiments"
