bringing it safely in contact with the ground
when landing"
Remembering the visit to the field during the
afternoon and the machine gathering dust i'll
the shed the uppermost thought was: If Or
vile Wright were able to devote all his time
to experimentation, condition that those who
know him best realize would be the greatest
boon he could wish for, who would say how
long it would be before man would fly for
hours without artificial power?
And there also came to mind Wilbur
Wright's scientific testament one Of the last
letters he wrote, interpreted as pointing out
the specific path along which the aeroplane in
ventors Of the future must proceed. He said
then:
Our new aeroplane will represent the de
vclopment of practically all we have learned
since we've been studying the problem OF air
transportation. Everybody who has ever seen
a buzzard flying knows that there must be
method whereby human beings can also re-
main in the air once they really find them
selves aloft. The sole difficulty is that Nature
provides birds with the means OF soaring with
out exertng themselves, while humans must
devise artificial means of achieving the same
result. The real problem now confronting US
is to find out whether we too, like the birds
once we're in the air-can stay in it indefinite
ly The bird can do it, Why shouldn't men?"
And while we sat on Hawthorne Hill French
aeroplanes were darting over the plains OF an

PERSONALLY CONDUCTED JOURNEY
THROUGH PLACES OF MYSTERY

Mr.. Mule was giving an hour of his busy morn
ing in order that the writer might be better and
more accurately informed regarding the changes
which have taken place in the operation OF big
hotels.
After wandering through the many passages
and apartments in the subterranean area bounded
by Fifth Avenue, Thirty-thi and Thrty-fourth
streets and Aston Court, one is astonished at the

Whether it was the place where cream was

the decision of Mr.. Mule. According to recolIec-

emergency work alone, Mr.. Mule explained, only
six or seven silver platers are required. Brassy
