The wings were attached to the body
of the aviator, who ran against the
wind on slight eminences. He was
thus raised from the ground by the
pressure of the air and brought
down again by the pull of the earth.
In this way he made over 1000
"glides," some of which were more
than 1000 feet in distance and some
times he rose over 100 feet in the air.
Lilienthal was, therefore, the first
man who rose in the air. AS an IL
lustration of the endurance and,
perhaps, tediousness of the work, I
may mention that in five years
"gliding" Lilienthal was not more
than five hours in the air; the re-
naming time being occupied in con-
structing and reconstructing his

wings, and in dragging them up the
hill from which he made his "glide.'
During his flights he introduced
some amplifcations, the principal
ones being superimposed planes,
double deckers or biplanes, SO as to
obtain greater lifting power.
The weakness of Lilienthal's ex-
periments was that his wings always
tended to fall down vertically, max
ing what is known technically as a
nose dive" Lilienthal showed that
this difficulty could be overcome and
stability insured by the aviator
shifting his own body so as to make
the center of gravity of the body
and the wings to be in constant rela,
tive position at each instant.

pressure on it. And if the "plane"
could be held nearly horizontal, the
pressure would be nearly vertical.
Then it could be made to support
the weight of the "plane," and any
thing else attached to it. Then if
an engine were used to keep up a
certain velocity, the aeroplane would
not only move through the air, but
also "stay up" in the air.
The principles governing aerial
fight were known long ago. The
subject of air-pressure was studied
by Newton and others, and the idea
of an aeroplane being propelled by
an engine was first published 100
years ago. Experiments with mod
els were first made in England and
also in France as early as in 1912.
Title Father of Aviation" Conferred
on Jew.
But although SO much had been
done, the title, of the Father of
Aviation must be conceded to the
Jew, Otto Lilienthal This title was
conferred upon him by the Aeronau-
teal Society of Great Britain in it's
official history of aeronautics for
1912.
Lilienthal's achievements stand
unrivaled. Although he did not ac
tually ely" as the term is used
nowadays, still, in the very words
of Wilbur Wright, che made the
greatest contribution to the solution
of flying problems that has been
made by any one man."
Now as to his career. Lilienthal,
an engineer, was born in 1848. He
soon became interested in aviation.
His difficulty was in constructing an
engine light and powerful enough to
propel a machine. Finally he in
troduced petrol engine, which led
to the growth of the motor car in
dustry. Lilienthal then observed
how birds made use of the wind for
rising without effort. He noticed
that by the spreading of their wings
they held themselves in suspension
in the air. Man could not fly, he
said, but he could "glide" for some
considerable distance by using the
pull of the earth as an engine. He
therefore decided that the art of fly
ing consisted in balancing, and that
the engine difficulty would be solv-
ed in time. To quote the records
of the British Aeronautical Society
again: "In this way Lilienthal did
more for aviation in day (fgura-
lively speaking) than all the pre-
vious centuries together had evolv
ed" With the help of his brother
