see the tails of birds.
"To give security to the power of
suspension, sail of an equilateral
triangle may be suspended horizon
tally over the mans head, supported
by small light mast OR bowsprit, at
the height Of three or four feet above
the car; the sail must be expanded
and fixed to the mast by very small
yard, presenting the base of the sail
to the head of the car, with the oppo-
site point toward the tail, and there
fastened with a cord to another
small howsprit; this sail will be a
protection, if large enough, in case
of any accident occurring to the ma
chine; it will then prevent the man
from being precipitated to the
ground in a manner similar to a
parachute.
'I only have mentioned this sail,
that it may be resorted to if it be
found necessary in long voyage; !;
the first experiment / would try
without it.
"The man must sit in the middle,
>between the wings and tail, so as
to be little behind the centre of
gravity, for the purpose of causing
New-York tribune., 1919-10-26

a little preponderance of weight to
act upon the back edge of the
wings; for if there be not, in some
degree, more weight behind than be-
fore, when the compressed air is
making a resistance against the
underside and back edges of the
wings, where it rushes upward
again, causing a great reaction, it
would, of course, elevate the hinder
part of the car too much.
"The wings and tail should be
made of silk, very compactly woven,
and as impervious to air as possible.
The silk which the wings are formed
of should be laid on in separate
broad slips, and should be open to
admit the air to pass through as the
wings move up, and close together
again as they come down.
ut is necessary to observe that
the car in which the man is to sit
must be entirely covered on the out
side with silk or very thin leather;
and along each side of the car the
silk or leather must be united to
the base of the wings, to prevent
as much as possible the air from
escaping anywhere but from the
back edges of the wings; should
that be neglected, when the air is
compressed by the wings being
struck downward it will rush uu-
ward through the car, and thereby
fail of giving that resistance against
the underside of the wings which

ward, making an oblique ascent.
''The projectile impulse will nat.
urally force the machine upward in
any angle in which the plane of the
wings is laid, something similar
to what may be observed in
the rising of a common paper kita
except in right angle, or perpeu-
dicular line; but the nearer the an.
gle of ascent inclines to the line Of
the horizon the easier will the ma.
chine be found to ascend. believe
pigeons can ascend very near in a
perpendicular line, but such an as.
cent would be too incommodious for
artificial flying.
"When the car is brought to r
sufficient altitude to clear the tons
Of the hills, trees, buildings, etc.
the man, by sitting little forward
on his seat, will then bring the wings
upon horizontal plane, and bv
continuing the action of the wings
he will be impelled forward in that
direction. To descend he must desist
from striking the wings, and hold
them on a level with their Joints.
the car will then gradually come
down, and when it is within five or
six feet Of the ground the man must
instantly strike the wings downward
and sit as far back as he can; he
will by this means check the projec-
tile force, and cause the car to alight
very gently, with a retrograde mo-
ton.
''The car when in the air may be
made to turn to the right or the
left, merely by the man inclining the
weight of his body to one side"

whole bodily strength, which far
exceeds the strength Of his arms
only, and by sitting in such a posi-
tion his strength can be exerted
with far greater force than in any
other attitude whatever. He at the
same time gains an additional ad-
vantage, in this plan of mine, by
exerting his strength upon a lever.
'"The two great requisites for the
art Of flying are these: First, ex-
pansion of wings large enough to
resist, in a sufficient degree, the
specific gravity Of whatever is at
tached to them; second, strength
New-York tribune., 1919-10-26
To Hop Oft

Having designed, he thinks, a
real flying machine, Walker next
devoted considerable time working
out a scheme to get it off the
ground into the air. The method
he advises is both unique and un-
expected. In it may lie the germ
for future development in getting
aircraft away from small landing
places. This is what he suggests:
'T will here further illustrate
how flying is effected. The air,
when struck upon by wings, pro-
duces an effect by it's reaction
against the underside and back
edges similar to that which is
caused by the wind blowing with
sufficient force against mill sail,
when it rushes off to one side and
impels the sail to move; with this
difference only, that the sail, being
fastened at one end to an axis, is
made to revolve, while the bird,
being at full liberty in the air, is
caused, by the expansive power of
the air acting with a resisting force
against the back edges Of the wings,
to glide forward in a right line.
"After having described how to
construct machine to fly in, which
like the swift black martin (apus,
Linz cannot fly from the surface

purpose in the best manner if they
were each of them made of six long
slips Of thin whalebone, dressed
tapering to a point, then wrapped
together in a round form with small
twine from end to end, and filed
with cork along the inside. By
making them in this manner they
would spring against the air, would
be very light, and so strong that it
would be impossible to break them
with the power Of weight of any
one person. BY forming them as
above, we shall humbly initiate the
shaft of quill feather, which is
composed of a thin horny shell con-
tanning delicate light pith along
the inside"
New-York tribune., 1919-10-26

fifty miles in an hour; or, If that
numerous class of mercantile agents
who are now denomlnated riders
henceforth be enabled to glide
through the air with great expeli-
sion in flying machines; or, if man,
by such means, can take rope to
any mariners in distress along the
sea coast, and thereby become the
happy instrument of saving their
lives; and if the circumnavigator be
able to quit his ship, fly and explore
the interior parts of a newly discov-
cred island, free from the annoy
ance and hostilities of its rude in
habitants-but it would be tedious to
enumerate all the uses to which arti-
ficial flying may be applied; it is OBJ
vious that when one man is enabled
to fly thousands may do the Same,
either on business OF pleasure"
Walker completes his treatise with
this declaration:
Il shall not abandon my purpose
Of making still further exertions TO
advance and complete an art the dis
covery of the true principles Of
which, | trust, I can with verify AZ
firm to be exclusively my own
New-York tribune., 1919-10-26

enough to strike the wings with a
sufficient force to complete the
buoyancy and give a projectile mo-
ton to the machine.
"With these two requisites COM
bined, flying must be accomplished.
Upon my plan, there can be nc
doubt of wings being made as large
as ever they may be wanted; neither
ought we to doubt of mans ability
exerting himself in the way l have
described, to bring into action as
great degree of strength, in pro-
portion to his weight, as the condo,
is possessed Of"
New-York tribune., 1919-10-26

only two pounds per horsepower.
But in Walkers days that one-horse-
power engine was a remarkable
thing.
Throughout his remarkable work
Walker is absolutely scientific in
propounding his theories. He is less
sparing in his ridicule of foolhardy
attempts at flying than he is sure
his contemporaries will be toward
his own work.
Notwithstanding, from the nov
city and singularity of the subject"
he says, II do expect to meet with
good deal of raillery and sarcasm,
the wits will tell me that / am
f1ighty, and the more serious and
heavy part Of mankind, who are too
ponderous for such aerial fights,
will express disapprobation of my
scheme; but do not write for such
folk, my sole aim is to deliver my
thoughts to the public, in the hopes
that men Of genius and science may
turn their attention to q subject
that may not before now have at
tracted their notice."
Here he delivers philippic
against contemporary rulers of Brit
ain by saying: columbus was
laughed at when he talked of a con-
tinent beyond the Atlantic; but
f1ighty as he might appear, he found
it; and acisc men lost it,"
Describing an attempt to fly with
paper kite made by Portuguese
! in 1884, he says: "Thcse silly in
ventions show the very low state of
science at that time in Portugal"
Before describing his own inven-
ton he remarks:
"All the attempts hitherto made
in the art Of flying, according to
historians, have been mere childish
whims. They each made a pair of
detached wings, some of silk, some
Of leather and some of sheet iron
and various other materials; they
fastened them upon their shoulders
or arms. Thus equipped they placed
themselves upon some eminencc.
such as high tower or a church
stccple, then took to their wings;
but few of them were fortunate
enough to escape without some in
jury.
ut is utterly impossible for a
!, man to fly with a pair of wings fixed
to his shoulders or arms, with the
whole weight Of his body hanging
down and depending entirely on his
. pectoral muscles for support.
"Thesc muscles in a man are
many degrees too weak to keep ex-
tended pair Of wings Of sufficient
; expansion to effectually counteract
the specific gravity of his body.
LET man suspend the weight
of his body, with his arms extended,
holding to horizontal beam by
hs hands, and he will very soon
find the insufficiency of the strength
!. Of his arms to support his weight.
ION the plan which l have con-
ceived for flying the want of
strength in the arms is amply pro-
: vided for. BY furnishing man

they would demonstrate that the
ideas had conceived Of the cause
of the projectile motion of birds
was we'll founded.
IL therefore made the following
experiment, to which / call the par
ticular attention of my readers, as
it positively demonstrates the cause
of projectile motion. I made pair
Of small wings Of fine paper and
very small slips of wood to keep
them extended, and fixed on a tail
of the same materials, initiating, as
near as could, the wings and tail
Of a bird when expanded in a pas
sive state. / then suspended small
weight from under them with
piece of thread, exactly in the CEN
ire of gravity. I held them up as
high as could reach, then took my
hand away and left them fiat upon
the air, without giving any impulse
to them whatever; and, by the
weight pressing downward, the air
under the wings became in some de-
gree compressed and by It's reaction
against the under side and back
edges Of the wings they were pro-
jected with an oblique descent from
one end of the room to the other,
carrying the weight all that dis
tance, which, without the wings be-
ing Of this particular construction,
could not have been done.
81 had cause sufficient to exult
in the success Of my experiment
which proved to me, in a very salts
factory manner that what had
conceived to be the cause Of the
projectile motion of birds was really
the cause and that if could but
give a vertical motion to the wings,
so that they might strike upon the
air with a sufficient force, they
would then increase the reaction of
the air and, instead of being pro-
jected in an oblique descent, total
ly overcome their specific gravity
and continue flying in a horizontal
direction.''
New-York tribune., 1919-10-26

some record Of its existence. 1t
seems, however, to have attracted
no attention and but for the for
tunate accident that uncovered it
from the secondhand bookstall
Walkers place in the history Of
aeronautics would never have been
known.
Rather than the art of flying
should be delayed by his own re-
strictions he placed his views before
the world as guidance for all, and,
by strange freak of fortune, they
have lain dormant until the art he
so earnestly desired has succeeded
far beyond his widest dreams.
In an appendix to his work he
says:
II will here take the liberty of
communicating a few hints, which
conceive to be Of Importance to
the aerostatic science. Now that
we know the true cause of the pro-
jectile motion of birds, and having
suggested a plan for producing the
same effect by artificial means, we
may be able to accomplish what
Messrs. Roberts, Blanchard and
others attempted to do, but in vain,
entirely from their not possessing a
knowledge Of this mystery Of ma
ture.
~ am alluding to the steerage of
balloons, which they endeavored,
with great labor, to attain by strik-
ing a number Of oars horizontally
against the air; and if we do but
take into consideration that the
balloon was constantly flying from
the air against which they were
striking, it does not seem probable
that they could, by such means, pro-
duce the effect they aimed at.
"But if we make a car from the
plan which l have laid down in this
treatise and upon a scale large
enough to admit Of one of Messrs
Mead & Co.'s new invented revolv.
ing steam engines to move the lever
with, we can then work, in verti.
cal direction, pair of very large
wings, which would produce a pro.
jectile force sufficient to impel the
balloon forward in any point of the
compass to which we might incline
it; and by having a large tail fixed
to the car, in universal joint, We
should be able to give it any in,
clination whatever"
) (By substituting the present-daS
5 aero engine with it's propeller sfo1
: Walkers steam engine and wing,
and an elevator for his tail, th'
above description would fit q mod
crn dirigible.)
) "When we have thus effected
