No chronicle of DIR. Langiey's work
would be complete without mention OF
his celebrated paper on the internal
Work of the Wind This was the re-
suit of many years of patient. expert
ment and research, and is without doubt
one of the most valuable contributions
to the science of aviation. 1t proved that
aerial flight had an aid in the laws of
nature of the greatest value to the prac-
teal solution of the navigation of the
air., He showed that the irregularities
of the wind were much greater than
supposed. and could be utilized as a source
Of power. 1t also might account for the
soaring of certain birds without the hap
ping of wings.
Further research, however, convinced
him that the irregularities were not
sufficient to account altogether for soar
ing flight, but showed that the main
source of the power to soar and over
come the wind comes from the rising
trends which exist In the air. Follow
ing out these ideas. Orville wright

after, some time in October. Clifford

Americas Spas Waters Are to Be Bottled with Guar.

Vichy or Carlsbad

Saratoga, y. Y, May 4.-Saratoga, lone
kind. is entering upon an entirely new
phase of its being. The State of New
York is taking the springs over into its
exclusive ownership and control, and the
place is to be developed into something
it has never been yet-namely, a great
spa comparable in importance to
Eichy and Carlsbad
The State already has appropriated
$4,000 the bulk of which has been spent
in acquiring ownership of some of the
springs. The plan is to make Saratoga
a sort of park reservation, administered
by commission. III il shall regain and
enlarge it's reputation as spa there
will be a profitable market for its min
eral waters throughout the United
States and in foreign countries. Such
market, however will necessarily de-
pend upon the assurance that the waters
have not been tempered with. and that
they are free from contamination. This
requirement being satisfied, the State is
sure to obtain a substantial return for
its investment
1t has come to be realized that at
Saratoga a very important natural re-
source has been progressing rapidly to-
ward destruction. Furthermore. the
value of the springs to the public health
is great. That such mineral water
springs are to be highly priced for their
medicinal usefulness is evidence by the
large and costly military hospitals which
have been erected by the governments
of France. Germany, Italy. and SPAN

thousands of government employees and
soldiers and sailors are annually re-
ceived for treatment at the public eX-
pense.
