NO USE


A well-known clergyman was
one day in barber shop when
four or five young men walked in
whom he knew, by their voices,
but who did not recognize the
man in the chair, with lather all
over his face. They proceeded to
spend the time by telling stories
and using expressions which, to
say the least, were rather strong.
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, clearly
shaved, stood before them. So
nonplussed were they that no one
tried to take the vacant chair, and

practical benefits, and this has really
hurt aviation more than it has helped.
! Speed has appealed pre-eminently to
racing men and to what may appro-
priately be termed the nautical aero
bats, and in some senses this speed
rificed under the hazardous circum-
stances of it's employment. The vic
torious Vedrines strongly advocates
speed on the score that 1t makes for
safety by offsetting or combating more
successfully atmospheric vagaries
while in fight. but this element OF
high velocity multiplies the hazard or
the difficulty of alighting as well a.
increasing the danger Of engine trou-
BILE and shortness OF the life OF the
motor
For war purposes an aeroplane mo-
tor should work efficiently at different
speeds because varying drive power
will be needed for dissimilar services.
motor of this sort would lend itself
to relatively low speed so that the
flying machine could return to this
ground much as a vessel slackens her
Roadway when coming up to her dock.
Captain Chambers has very definite
opinion upon this subject, which he
explains as follows:
"A weight carrying aeroplane, such
as a hydroaeroplane. necessarily needs
motor with considerable range OF
speed. and the same kind Of motor is
needed to reduce the danger of alight
ing. / think aviation would be i'm
contests were arranged so as to re-
quire each contestant to go over the
course twice-the second time at an
average speed 20 per cent. lower than
his highest average"
The layman has heard so much Of
antiballoon guns and other weapons
for the humiliation of all kinds Of air
craft, that he pictures the flying ma
chine as being knocked into bits by
the precise fire of these weapons. As
matter Of fact, during the war in
Tripoli the Italian aeroplanes were
but seldom hit, never disastrously. and
when up in the air three thousand feet
they were not touched at all Ame-i-
can naval aviators, with their hydro
aeroplanes, have proved that 1t is en-
tirely feasible for them to reach this
height. and so far as endurance 81

ard navy Curtiss hydroaeroplane In
ventors have developed an aeroplane
wireless outfit OF very moderate
weight, and with this equipment
aviators are able to cover a range OF
fifty miles
The next naval conflict is likely to
find hydroaeroplanes a feature of the
essential equipment of all large men-of-
war. and the flying machine must be
considered seriously and not as mere
fad or mechanical achievement of no
material value. In peace-time manen-
vers the French have clearly shown
that the aeroplane is capable of doing
scout duty of an important character
detecting not only ships upon the wa
ter, but the presence of submarines
hidden below the surface
Of the sea; and recent experiments
with armor piercing bombs-dropped
from aircraft-have turned a new
page in the art Of warfare.
