Boomerang
AeOrOpIane

A flying machine that is neither
aeroplane, balloon, helicopter nor or
nithopter is now being tried. 1t is
called a gyropter, and is the invef-
ton of A. Papin and D. Rouilly.
It's principle is taken from a study
OF the movements of a boomerang
and OF the fall and flight of the
seeds OF the sycamore. This last is
q one-bIaded screw propeller turning
about an Imaginary axis and bal
anced by the weight of the seed
grains so that it falls slowly like a
parachute.
The gyropter is made up OF a long
body, with a head and a tail. turn
ing on an axis situated one-third of
the distance from the head to the
tail. The seat Of the aviator at this
centre of rotation remains imn1ov-
able in the middle of the great boom
erang.
The thing is not unlike great
banjo, the neck of which is turned
at q right angle and ends in a hole.
1t Is built of wood, strengthened by
interior braces and covered inside
and out with canvas.
1t has neither front nor rear. 1t
is body turning upon itself. pro-
peller-blade thrown into the air and
given equilibrium by part of another
blade placed there to balance the
weight of the motor. This motor
works a turbine which sends a
stream OF air at tremendous speed
into the interior OF the apparatus.

The motor is in the head. 1t Is q

making 1900 revolutions minute.
The air rushes through a wide tube
surrounding the aviator's seat. The
latter is a circular box on ball-bear-
ings. The air penetrates q sort of
antenna made OF wood and revolv-
ing about it's longitudinal axis at the
will of the pilot. This ends In a
curved pipe through which the air
rushes WITH force enough to prevent
the car from partaking OF the whirl-
ing motion of the rest of the ma
chine. This antenna is the rudder
of the apparatus.
Under the apparatus is a lens
shaved float. which acts as q cushion
in descending and as hub on which
the machine reyolves when started
on the ground.
The air rushes around the machine
and is expelled from the end of the
tail with speed of 100 meters a
second, about seven cubic Inches be-
ing discharged every second. The
surface of the apparatus is twelve
square meters, and 1t weighs, pilot
included, 800 Kilograms
When the motor is tilted at an
angle to the plane Of revolution OF
the whole, gyroscopic action makes
the gyropter rise. There are two op-
posite gyroscopic motions. one of ths
motor, the other of the whole ma
chine. and these insure stability un.

can, of course. change at will tht
angle their planes make TO each

HARD ROAD FOR LEGISLATIVE REFORMS.

The economy and efficiency bills that have become
laws by the governors approval may be said to be
good step towards the object of the program of the
commission that drafted the original bills. The
economies to be effected are yet to be seen but there
should be increased efficiency by the GENERALIZATION Of
powers and duties that have been widely dis
tributed.
State is distastefu in legislature if it involves
the abolition of offices and sinecures. The three bills
signed by the governor yesterday introduced on
the first day of the session. and several companion
bills yet not the statute book. 1t has taken
three months to get this legislation far is and
most of the bills have been changed for the worse.

Chance is not a nickname for Provi-
dence. Chamfort was wrong when he
so named it. Voltaire, wrong in most
things, was right when he said,
"Chance Is q word void Of sense;
nothing can exist without cause"
That one man has q better chance
than another; that one child by
chance recovers from scarlattna, and
another by chance dies, Is proof that
chance is Ignorance.
Before Pasteur discovered the vac
cine which when used after all dog
bites prevents the bites of the mad
dogs from causing fatal hydrophobia,
1t was by chance that 80 to so per
cent of those bitten died of the dread
scourge His discovery rid US Of that
Chance"
When Roux and Won Behring in
vented diphtheria anti-toxin the
chances against a child's recovery
from that contagion were nine to one.
With the use Of anti-toxin, that
Ignorant" chance became reversed.
Now the chance OF recovery Is nine
to one and much more.

When you come to analyze all

yielded ten deaths or more among
each hundred of victims. That Is to
say there are nine Chances" in your

.IvDlCrMENrs AGAINST REV. WIN. A. SUNDAY.


: For some time there has been desire in the
public mind to know why President Hibben of Prince
Ton University, declined to invite Rev, William A
sunday 70 the university while the evangelist was
having his campaign in Philadelphia. An explanation
has now been made in letter to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. written by Dean Andrew F. West Ine
letter, which appeared in yesterdays Evening Star
and filed over two columns analyses and discusses
sections of Mr. Sundays copyrighted sermons. and
presents four indictments against him. DR.. West
emphatically denies that the attitude Of President
Hibben had any relation to the teachings OF sunday
as evangelical Princeton itself founded on his
snricai evangelical Christian faith The attitude OF
President Hbben supported by the authorities Of the
university rests on other grounds
8 The indictments Of Dean West ere, in order, as
follows: Sundays utterances are mot Christke, ana
some of them trayesties OF the teaching OF
Christ" others "caricatures and perversions OF
sacred scenes; "at times Mr.. Sunday is irreverently
familiar toward God;' many OF Mr.. Sundays re-
marks are personally abusive disgusting or SANDER
Gus and there are also some statements-fortu-
natey few but enough-which are plainly indecent
These indictments are supported by Mr.. Sundays
words.
1T Is not necessary to minimize the good that Mr.
Sunday does He is entitled to full credit for arous-
ing the moral consciousness Of the community and
inducing men to discuss religious questions But
whatever good should not blind ones sight to the
Earm that is done Christian teaching plainly ad-
ses men to "abhor that which is evil" to abstain
rom all appearance of evil to speak evil OF no
nan" and one apostle declares that the tongue rs
IN unruly evil"
The indictments of Dean West call attention in
particular to those utterances of Rev. William A.
sunday that are offensive the Christian conscious

thoughts of God and sacred scenes. Reverence is
fundamental IN religious nature. It is dificult to
understand this essential is to be developed in

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir: When unscrupulous attempts
by politicians are being made through
the columns of the press-and some,
ave. most of the criticisms that have
been made on Chief Justice Gummere
constitute nothing less than unscru-
pulous attempts to prevent his reten-
ton on the bench--to besmirch the
ermine of our highest courts, 1t Is
about time that public-spirtted men
voice their sentiments. One Of the
most potent reasons why Judge Cum
mere should be reappointed is be-
cause the public protests to his reap
pointment come from partisan poitti-
clans.
Justice Gummere has adorned the
bench OF our highest court for nign
fourteen years, and venture the
