 His Life.


 Mineola, N. Y.. Aug. 21.-Albert Fi- leux of New York. an aviator fell 1000 feet in his monoplane to Hampstead aviation field today and escaped with his life. He was badly brunsed and lacerated but surgeons at the Nassau hospital said that he was suffering chiefly from shock and they thought he would live.
 Fileux fell while looping the loop. He had completed the circle and the rose of his aeroplane was pointed straight for the earth preparatory to making a long glide, when his engine went dead. The machine fell like plummet. Onlookers watching the flight with glasses say his frantic efforts to right the aeroplane and when these failed saw him swing him. self into the cockpit of the machine so that he would not be caught beneath tke heavy engine.
 As he climbed back his weight so disturbed the balance of the mono plane that instead of falling nose down 1t turned when approximately hundred feet from the earth and hit the ground on the front wheels. These collapsed and the machine somersaulted. The hangar attendants who rushed out expecting to pick up his mangled body found him conscious and without broken bones.
