Begins Study in 1870.

.Ardcr young engineer connected
with the department of roads and bridges
in France, and as carly us 1870 took UP
the study of mechanical fight. lie made
an extensive study OF soaring birds. and
at one time was arrested OH the frontier
of Germany, where he had gone to study
the flight of storks. After many years he
developed a heavier-than-air flying ma
chine called the ''Avion,' built on the
lines OF an Indian fruit-eating bat. This
was driven by very light steam engine.
NJ. Arder says that it made some lights
in private but he was not satisfied with
the performance, and built two other
machines. which he says also were
flown. In 1897 he had completed the third
machine. and having expended a great
deal of money. he undertook 10 eXnlbit
this third machine to furnish funds ior
carrying on mis- work. Before the exhibit
ton was opened the French minister OF
war saw the aeroplane and recognizing
its potential value as an implement of
war declined to permit the public eXhi>
bition and the French government sub
sidized Arder to enable him to complete
the WORK.
4 trial of the machine eventually was
made before commission OF the
French army. 1t was very windy day,
and. although il is said the machine
tett the ground for a short fight. i
was blown Off its course, and as nyinS
machines were considered an imposSi-
pinty at that time. the matter was
dropped by the French army. and no
practical use ever was made of i. Since
that time the old machine has been eX-
hibited by the Aero Club of France in
one OF the national exhibitions.
Say Machine Needs Changes.
Modern aviators who have seen it say
that to make practical flights with it
some changes probably would have to
be made, sucl adding balancing
tai, and giving it an improved motor.
The French. however. are very proud
. of this early development, and there
has been some talk recently of build
ing a duplicate machine and actually
applying it. There is no likelihood of
attempting to fly the old machine, be-
cause it is now regarded as a museum
relic which should not be subjected to
the dangers of Il practical fight.
1t is in recognition of his pioneer work
along this line that the suggestion has
been made in the Smithsonian Institu
ton of recognizing Arder as one of the
next recipients of the Langley memorial
medal.

Application of Smithsonian In
stitution for Permit to Build
Laboratory There.
MATTER is CONSIDERED
BY SECRETARY GARRISON
Structure to Be Known as Langley
Memorial and Used for Aero
dynamical Purposes

Secretary Garrison of the War Depart
ment has under consideration the appii-
cation which has been made by the
Smithsonian Institution for a permit to
erect a laboratory building for the Lang
ley memorial aerodynamical laboratory
on the eastern end of Potomac Park. He
has not announced what his attitude on
the subject will be, but it is understood
that he is likely to be ia avorabe.
The legal situation in regard to using
Potomac Park for such purpose will
require an act of Congress to enable
the Secretary to grant a permit for the
building. Some time ago. when the sub
ject was first broached, it was thought
the Fairgrounds committee would object
to this use of the reservation on the
ground that the whole of Potomac Park
should be devoted to public playground
purposes. Since then it has developed
that there will be no particular objection
from the White House to this use of the
ground and it is hoped by the officials
of the Smithsonian that a permit for the
building of the laboratory eventually VIII
be granted.
There is east Of the railway bridge an
extension of Potomac Park which, until
recently was used by the Department OF
Agriculture as experiment station.
This has now been abandoned, and when
the whole of the eastern end of the
peninsula is filled in and cultivated there
able This land is in the form Of long
triangle, which comes to a point on the
eastern end opposite the War College and
the Washington barracks.
Evening star., 1914-04-05
Management Suggests Site.

Ii is the wish of the Langley memorial
laboratory management to put the labo-
ratory building the extreme end OF
this peninsula. 1t is a location that the
officials say, would not interfere with the
general use of the tract as a playground.
1t is pointed OUT that there would be
abundant room for several polo fields, for
Il gridiron where the West Point-Annap-
oils foot ball game could be played each
year. Grandstands at the wide end Of
ment, would accommodate thousands of
people who might gather to witness any
of the athletic performances the annual
drill of the High School Cadets or any
maneuvers of troops stationed in and
around Washington.
The whole of the tract is surrounded
by a driveway. which is practically an
extension of the driveway now established
in Potomac Park. Some fear has been
expressed by horsemen interested that
the use of the grounds for aeroplane eX
periments might interfere with horses
on the driveway. The projectors of the
la boratory say, however. that there
would be comparatively little out-of-door
flying, most of the experimental work
being confined to the interior of the
la boratory building. Such flying as would
be done would be largely over the water.
Also following the precedent that neces
sarly was established at College Park,
Nd, the principal flying hours would be
from sunrise to . am. After that hour

unfaVorable for flying

our mines, our farms. and our fac
