THoueHTHE WAS COMET.

Dayton, Feb. 27.-An airplane car
sryiog Maj R. w. Schroeder, chief test
pilot at McCook field, today fell over
five miles after reaching an altitude
sof 36,G20 feet, said to be 1920 feet
higher than the worlds record.
{ Tonight the major is in hospital
suffering from shock and temporary
partial blindness. instruments on the
machine indicate that it fell more than
five miles in two minutes. While still
1000 feet above the ground, the air
plane was righted and glided to
graceful landing. When the plane set
tied, attendants who rushed toward
it found Major Schroeder erect in the
machine, apparently lifeless. For
brief time, residents of Dayton were
sure a comet had appeared in the sky.
They had mistaken the trail OF va
por escaping from the machine as it
sped downward for "a stranger in the
heavens"
Thousands of persons gazed sky
ward watching the plane, which had
ascended two hours before, plunge
downward.
TITS Eyes FTOZCGI OfIOG'
His senses numbed and his eyes
frozen shut in temperature said to
have been 67 degrees below zero,
Schroeder regained partial conscious
ness when 1000 feet above the earth
in time to right his machine and pre-
vent it from crashing to the ground,
out of control.
The thousands Of spectators were
at the. time unaware that they were
witnessing a drama of the sky. !"
They saw a speck Of black silhouetted
against the blue, to which was at
taehed "taip' of grayish color. Grad
ually the object was enlarged as it
sped to the earth. When but few
thousand feet above them those
watching saw that it was an airplane
turning ma tail pin. 1t was at this
point that Major Schroeder regained
control of his plane and headed it to-
ward McCook field.
Here Major Schroeder made a safe
landing and collapsed.
He was blinded and his limbs were
numb, despite the electrically heated
suit in which he was encased. He
was suffering from the effects of a
lack of oxygen. When nearly seven
miles above the earth, his oxygen
tanks became exhausted and it was
this which robbed him of conscious
ness and caused him to fall.

STUNTS IN THE AIR SATURDAY.

There was brief time here -Satur-
day, for those who like to see an aero
plane doing stunts in \the sky and
most every one does, and there was
plenty to amuse old and young. The
turn over, tail spin, loop the loop, fall
ing leaves and high altitude stunts,
kept all necks craned skyward. The
flyers gave the people all promised,
even to walking the wings of the plane,
high up in the heavens.
