CLAIMS DISCOVERY
OF SECRET OF AIR
Frenchman Believes He Has Mas
tered Problem of Automatic
Stability

From the Washington Star.
Paris.-The French aviator, NJ Moreau,
who has ben conducting experiments near
Melun is credited with having discov-
cred the secret of automatic stability for
aeroplanes. His invention has caused a
certain amount of excitement In avia-
ton circles, and generous patriot has
sent him check for $1,000 to continue his
experiment
The novelty in his design, as far as can
pe judged from what has been made pub
nc, consists IN suspended cage that con-
tains the seat of the pilot and room for
passengers. 1T is described as a pendulum
seat. and the way it Is attached under the
frame at certain point between the pro-
peller and the horizontal rudders infiu-
ences the center of gravity, which is
maintained constantly at fixed point by
the movements of the pendulum seat
Two levers, which are worked automat-
ically as the pendulum seat swings, keer
the wings and the rudders constantly in
the position required for maintaining the
stability of the aeroplane.
NJ. Moreau studied the flight of birds
and came to the conclusion that the COM
bned mechanism of crows wings and
tail. for instance, worked automatically
against the wind, and 1t was only a ques-
ton of trying to discover the secret by
judicious combinations. He made a model
which confirmed his Impressions as IL
sailed through the air almost without a
propeller.
So satisfied was he with his success
that he asked the military authorities to
come and examine his invention. General
Hirschauser sent an officer, Lieutenant
Saulier, to inspect 1t and the officer made
flight with M. Moreau. which entirely
convinced him. Lieutenant Saulier sat
during the flight beside the pilot. The
basket swung to and fro easily, while
the pilot kept his arms folded and SIM
ply steered the machine by touching a
lever with his, foot. Lieutenat Saulier
drew up favorable report, but SO ia r
