New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-11-02

The first parachute descent in
history was made by M. Garnerin,
a French aeronaut, over London,
September 21, 1902. The descrip
ton Of the parachute printed in
"The London Times" the follow
ing day says:
"The parachute was made OF
white canvas, or sail cloth, formed
by thirty-two cores into hemi-
spherical form, twenty-three feet
in diameter, at the top of which
was a truck. or round piece Of
wood ten inches in diameter, with
a hole in its centre, fastened to the
canvas by thirty-two pieces of
tape.
"At about four and half feet
from the top Of the canvas a
wooden hoop about eight feet in
diameter was put on and tied by
string from each seam, so that
when the balloon assembled the
parachute hung like a curtain from
this hoop and appeared cylindri-
cal"
The parachute was attached to

English Channel, and he became the
first victim of an aerial tragedy.
The brilliant success Of the Mont
golfer brothers turned mems
thoughts away from the heavier
than-air theory and established the
lighter-than-a principle. This the
DRY remained more or less in the as
cendant until the revolutionary sue
cess Of the Wright brothers at Kitty
Hawk In December, 1908.
Immediately after the first Mont
golf1ere ascension men began to con-
centrate their thoughts upon the
utilization Of the newly discovered
Anflammable air." now known as hy-
drogen, as a possible lifting agency
for balloons. 1t was not long before
q balloon was successfully filled with
hydrogen, after extreme difficulty,
and an ascension made.
This led to profusion of impossi-
bio ideas being thrust upon the
world. Many Of the dreamers, how
ever, were wise enough to confine
the propagation of their ideas to
pamphlets.

fdreytisi'glg,

In 1910 the up-to-date London
tailoring firm of +. Moses and Son
took advantage of aerial navigation
as possible means Of advertising.
They sent up number Of balloons
from which handbills were dropped.
y perusal of these bills gives splen-
did example Of early Victorian ad-
vertising, couched as it was in the
punning style then prevalent.
"Reader," it begins, this handful
has just left the clouds, having been
conveyed thither in a balloon. The
very circumstance of itself should be
sufficient to attach considerable i'm
portance to such an advertisement
Read it, then, attentively, and do not
conclude that the statements con-
tanned in it are inflated like a bal
loon; for such is not the case.
&c. Moses and Son have always
had lofty notions of business, but
not airy notions. and that is the
reason they have mounted so high
in public opinion. There is not the
slightest danger of their specula-
tions ending in smoke or coming to
the ground"

trees IN a wood just outside Calais.

was sent aloft by a London printer,
Charles Clark, shortly after the first
Moses advertisement
The first dirigible ever con-
structed, built by Hugh Bell,
Of London, on June 16, 1851,
called BELLS Locomotive Balloon"
was exhibited in the Vauxhall
Gardens. 1t was constructed of
wooden ribs. From the centres Of
each end Of the balloon form
giant rib, or keel in bow form, was
suspended, to which the car was
rigidly attached. A steam engine
was provided to turn a small screw
at the end, and a long rudder
stuck out from the stern of the
car.
There Is no record Of this
balloon ever having assembled, but
there seems to be no doubt but that
it was financial success as a draw
ing card for curious crowds.
Birth OF Modern Idea
The next real change in the
development of aeronautics came
in 1868. 1t came from the bril-
liant French caricaturist, Felix
Fournachon, better known as
"Nadar." 1t was the birth of the
helicopter idea. That is the idea
of a heavier-t han-air machine con-
structed with vertical screws that
by their lifting power when revolv-
ing at full speed cause the ma
chine to rise vertically into the air
| with load.
BY strange freak, Nadar was
compelled to build the largest bal
loon then existing in order to get
funds to experiment with his ideas,
and he detested balloons.
"To contend against the air."
he insisted, zone must be speci
fically heavier than the air. All
that is not absurd is possible; all
that is possible will be accom-
plished"
The first necessity for aerial
automotion is to disembarrass ones
self of every kind of aerostat. That
which aerostatics (ballooning) re-
fuses, one has most to demand of
dynamics and states.
ut is the screw-the holy screw.
as l one day heard it termed by
an illustrious Mathematician
which is to carry us through the
air; it is the screw which penetrates
the air as a gimlet does wood. the
one carrying with it its motive
power, the other its handle.
Let us imagine spirals (screws)
of material and an extent suffi-
Gent to support any motive power
whatever steam, ether, compressed
air, or the like; that this motive
power shall have the permanence
of forces employed in ordinary in
dustrlal pursuits; and it is plain
that by regulating at will, as the
driver does the locomotive, YOU can
rise, descend, or remain motionless
IN space, according to the number
of revolutions which you cause
your screw to make"
Nadar had an ingenious scheme
to overcome his critics, who claimed
that with his helicopter he would
only be able to ascend vertically;
that is, If he was able to ascend at
all. This is how he proposed to
overcome this objection:
THE screw will complete its work

Disaster

The second attempt at parachute
descent was less fortunate and re-
suited in the death of its inventor,
Robert Cooking, on July "a, 1887.
This parachute was a modification
of the Galnerin parachute and was
contemporaneous with the first use
of coal gas as lifting element in
balloons, which had been successfully
accomplished by Charles Green, a
noted and experienced balloonist.
Cooking had parachute con-
structed in conical form, which diff
fered in this respect from the cylin-
drical parachute of Garnerin. Like
the latter's, Cocking's parachute had
a car suspended beneath it,
He then entered into an arrange
ment with Green to attach the para
chute below the car of Green's bal
loon. The arrangements were com
pleted and the ascent made in the
afternoon Of July q from Vauxhal1
Gardens, London, in full view of a
mammoth crowd.
After ascending q few thousand
feet, Green shouted down from his
car that the weight was too great
for his balloon to take the parachute
any higher. Cooking replied, every
well, I Will leave you Soon
Shortly afterward he sang out
"Coodby,' and then pulled the cord
which released the parachute from
The balloon. The heavy car proved
too much for the flimsy parachute
and it collapsed in midair, while its
inventor paid the penalty of faulty
design with his life,
