HONORING MEMORY OF
PROFESSOR LANGLEY.

Unfortunately, the pioneers i'll all
discoveries either die lin poverty or
amid the jeers of their contemporary
les. /. The.frst man who conceived Il
railway for transportation purposes
was regarded as crank by the people
of his day, and was compelled to lay
rails in the night time in order to es-
cape being rotten-egge,i by those who
had, as they say, imagined, figured out
the imposibility of this scheme.
Scientific men about one hundred
years ago wrote articles for news
papers showing, according to their dc
auctions, the impossibility of running
vessel across the Atlantic ocean
by steam, and when Cyrus ". Field
conceived the i&ca OF transmitting
messages across the Atlantic ocean
he was regarded as q fit subject for
the lunatic asylum by many.
Had a man conceived moving pic
lures or telephones two or three nun
d1.ed years ago and made any sort Of
a demonstration to prove his theories
he would have been hanged for witch
craft.
The discoveries of printing were
forced for a time to work under
ground or in cellars, as people of that
day believed his satanic majesty had
something to do with the art preser-
vative of arts. Finally the craft were
arrested and made to divulge their
secret.
Seventeen years ago yesterday the
first heawier-than air flying machine
took wings from secluded spot Oh the
Potomac, q short distance south of
this city and after a short flight fell
to destruction, while its inventor, the
late Professor Samuel P. Langley,
looked on and the world laughed. Not
long aftarward he died from broken
heart, many of his friends say, from
the ricicule heaped upon him because
he thought he could invent flying
machine"
But yesterday at the Smiths oman
Institution group Of scientists whose
names are known to the world, gather
ed to unveil tablet to his memory
as The father of advanced aviation,
and to present medals to Glenn Fl,
Curtis and Gustave Eifel, who have
carried on the work Langley left off
Curtis was present. but Ambassador
Juserand received the meal for Eiffcl
Later, at the Army War College, AZ
exhibition of flying boats was given
Army and Navy officers. carrying o.
the development of aviation, were
present, ans many of the notables o
Washington life came to pay the no
mage to the memory of Langley.
The first over-country or long dis
lance flight in an airship WIS made {
few years ago from Fort Myer =
Shutters Hill on the confines OF Alex
andna. Many people in Alexandra;
u to that time HAD; been loud in thei
expressions of disbelief in the theo7:
