VIERRA AND THE GLIDER.

Another accident or mishap which may
have 4 valuable lesson in l. occurred IN
July out West. The late Professor j. ].
Montgomery experimental near Redwood
City with gliding aeroplaues-following
along the line of the Wright brothers ar
xii Devil Hill last October. Joseph {.
Vierra took up Professor Montgomery's
experiments where they had been halted
by the latter's death. on July I Mr..
Vierra rose successfully against the wind
with his motorless glider At height o.
fifteen feet above the earth his glider
pitched suddenly and east him out Of his
seat At the same instant another gust
of wind struck the wings and the soarer
rose beautifully and sped seward out Of
sight 10 be sure, the glider was light
eued by dropping Mr.. Verra, but we must
not forget that the wings We're a good deal
heavier than the volume Of air they dis
placed, and yet this weight was lifted BY
the winds reaction against the opposing
planes 1t would not be hard to under
stand this if the glider had been held by
line. because then there would have been
virtual counterpart Of the kite.
In this instance. however. the glider
duplicated the performance Of soaring
bird floating free in the air The mis-
hap carries US back to some of Profes-
scr Langley's classical researches. and
makes us see anew the meaning OF his
term internal work, by which he sought
TO explain the truly marvellous manner in
which soaring birds maintain their poisc
and position aloft. apparently without ex-
ertinS any muscular effort. After Pro-
fessor Langley had studied the manner
in which a turkey buzZard scared over a
given point i'm the face of a thirtynile
wind. he expressed the phenomenon i'm
tho following manner: 1T seemed that
this internal work might conceivably be,
so utilized as to furnish "A power which
should not only keep an inert body from
falling. but cause it TO rise, and that
while this power was the possible cause
of the action of the soaring bird "
might be possible through its means to
cause any suitably disposed body, animate
or inanimate, wholly immersed in the
wind, and wholly free to move, 20 advance
against the direction of the wind itself"

THE MASTER MIND OF A NATION.

This signature which appears on every
block of stone in Xochicalco, and on every
ruin in Mexico, is the link in the chain
which binds all of them together, the
slender thread which so strongly shows
that all We're built by the same tribe. an
designed by the same master mind.
QuetZalcoatl's work was more extensive
and more voluminous In all probability
than that of any other architect who has
ever lived. either in ancient or in modern
times. He alone carved the stone SER

other. running in sinuous convolutious

The same serpent. identically feathered

Professor Francisco Abadiano. Il CO.
laborer with Professor Nena at Nochi-
calico. and who has prepared manuscript

says: up to to-day We were in ignorance
as to who had been the constructor Of

of secrecy and opened new vtstas OF I'M

said OF many of the casualties W hich have
occurred within the last few months II
has taken us years 10 comprehend prop
erly the meaning of suction between pass
ing ships, but We do not want to wait
years to acknowledge the kindred menace
of aerial disturbances between nearby
aeroplanes. 1t is highly probable that
the reactive agitations promoted by the
onward shove of the supporting planes
are quite equalled by the disturbance
caused by the rapidly revolving motive
propellers. These propuisive agents are
hitting the air series of violent blows
and causing resultant compressions of
definite volumes of the atmosphere, and
these, In their turn, expand with sub
stantially equal force and set up a sue
cession of explosive effects which are q
danger to an aviator following In their
wake, as happened In the case oil Naval
Constructor Richardson, to which we have
referred.

A HY0Ro-AERoPLANE PROBLEM.

An aviator of the name Of Guidoni was
practising in the Gulf of Spezia with his
hydro-aeroplane. At the same time the
Italian Dreadnought Dante Alighieri was
undergoing trials there. While the bat
tlcship was running about twenty-four
knots GUidoni swept through the air
across the wake OF the warship and
at some distance astern. An eddy in
the air caused by the movement Of the
Dante Alighieri upset the hydro-aeroplane
and Guidoni and his flying machine fell
into the water. Fortunately no serious
harm was done other than 10 smash some
