And how the whole world
laughed?
Today "Langley's Folly" has
the laugh on all the world
For years and years Professor
S. P. Langley of the Smithsonian
Institution labored to perfect a
machine that would fly. The gov
eminent supplied him with funds;
but people Knocked him as a
visinary.
Langley actually perfected his
machine. On Dec. 8, 1908, a
crowd gathered on the banks of
the Potomac to watch him launch
It.
c. NJ. Manly, Langley's engi-
neering genius, sat in the pilots
boat, situated between the tan
dem planes. The machine was
thrown into space from the top of
a houseboat by a catapult. The
prov reared up in the air. The
machine toppled over, backward
and Topped ANONYMOUSLY into
the riveri
Manly was carried down, tan
gled in the wires. With extraor-
binary GOODNESS he cut the strands
with a pair of pliers-it was over
a minute that he was below water
and came to the surface.

There's a name | says. Call

Very well. Boy-baby,' she
says to the colt. 4 christen thee

Blister Jones is a horse trainer,
particular friend of a newspaper
sport writer who tells the story,
using Blister's own words.
Blister was brought up on the
race track, his first appearance
there being when he was too small
60 even cross a saddle. First he
was a jockey, but the story opens
with him as a successful trainer
with a large stable of winners.
Blister talks nothing but the
slang of the race track, and in
reality knows nothing else. He Is
much more apt to call a horse a
"bird" or a dog" than by its
right name.
But with IL all Blister Is a dia-
