Succeeds After Many Failures.

Cody was the first resident English
man To build an aeroplane for the Brit
ish war office. and his was the first
machine aside from the Wrights'. to fly
in England at all. He had been eX-
perimenting with flying machines for
a long time and. owing to his success
with kite experiments. had received
commission from the British war office
TO build military machine.
The several machines he attempted
were very large and made chiefly OF
bamboo. There were many trials and
just as many failures until Cody be-
came standing joke with the war
office and rather sore point with
them. After the last failure OF one OF
his early machines to fly, the authori-
ties got tired and told him TO take his
machine and himself off into the woods
and lose himself If possible.
Ii was Just on the back OF this in
junction that Cody turned out machine

He achieved such success with his

His theatrical appearance and meth
DDS created some prejudice against
him. which. however. was largely dis
PEELED when he foreswore American al

The public in England only began to
take him seriously when he carried off
the military prize of $4,000. open to

Following that triumph he built sew

Real Soldier of Fortune.

Cody was the most interesting figure in
aviation in the British Isles. He was a
real soldier of fortune, with a very
varied career behind him. He was well
known to the public in England, and very
popular. He wore a sombrero. long
mustache. an imperial and long hair, and
was almost an exact counterpart of
Buffalo Bill
lie came to England a number of years
ago from the United States, where he
had been cowboy ip the west. He had
a severe struggle to obtain start in
England. After living precariousiy for a
while, he attracted the attention of the
experts in the British war Office on ac-
count of his display of natural gifts OF
construction, particularly in aerial ma
chimes. He was said to be able to build
anything in the way of flying machine
or balloon. His first experiments Were
made with box kites. These he de-
veloped on the British military training
grounds at Aldershot, where 30, 900 of the
finest troops in the British army are al
ways kept in readiness to march on a
moments notice on any expedition.
