saturated with chloroform pressed
over his nostrils and mouth. He
made violent effort to free his arms,
but all the time the woman, whom
he had but few minutes before
thought so charming, kept pressing
the suffocating handkerchief over his
face. and he felt himself growing
weaker every minute.
Fight as he would, however, the
odds were against him, for the arms
of his assailant never for one moment
relaxed their fierce hold. Slowly his
senses left him, and when he, re-
covered it was to find himself bound
hand and foot, and absolutely at the
mercy of his assailants.
"Ah, I'm glad to see you're recov-
ering," said Mr.. Tyrrell. II shouldn't
have liked really to harm you."
The jeweler was nearly suffocat-
ing through the tightness of the
strap across his chest, and he
pleaded to have it loosened. While
Tyrrell was doing so he said, "One
sound, and it may cost you your life,
If you value it you will keep quiet"
He bound his handkerchief over
the helpless mans eyes, and all the
jeweler could hear was the quick,
though quiet. shutting of feet about

about what price, sir?" asked the
assistant.
Somewhere round $5,OOO," replied
Mr.. Tyrrell, as casually as though
that amount were very little to him.
In fact, his very next sentence
rather added to the impression he
had given the assistant. Il don't
mind if it's $500 or so one way or
the other"
The assistant took some trouble
and care in placing before the we'll
dressed customer some Of the finest
jewels which the firm had in stock,
for it is not every day in the week
that jewelers. obtain new customer
who is willing to spend $1,000 or
so in jewellery. White flashing
diamonds, red fiery rubies, clear
green emeralds,. and other less valu-
able stones were spread upon the
counter for Mr.. Tyrrell's inspection,
though all the time an assistant kept
an unostentatious eye upon the
jewels, for occasionally appearances
are deceptive, and not every we'll
dressed man has a well lined pocket.

The three motors are said to be
French. They are LIE Rhones of
l20 horsepower, each.
A third working Helicopter is
French.
This is the already famous
Oehmichen-Peugeot m hine
which has made 70 ascents at VAL
entigny. 1t is allowed to "screw
itself straight up" say, five yards;
and at this height it makes its lat
eral trip, say, 90 yards; and then
it descends straight down to earth.
All this is, likewise, experiment,
to gain control and experience.
The small Equilibrium" balloon
seen in the photographs of the
Oehmichen-P Peugeot Helicopter is
only temporary. There is no sus-
picion that it lifts the apparatus,
because the ascensional force of
the balloon is only II kilos
(weight of an average man), while
the Helicopter itself, without pi-
lot, weighs nearly half a ton!
1t is Helicopter moment.
Hang for Minute.
To be exact, the Helicopter is
today just where the aeroplane
was in 1908-l909, when the Far
mans and others in France were
hopping" over the ground in
horizontal leaps of 90 feet or less.
The Wright brothers had not yet
given their astonishing exhibition
of real fight; but it was known
that they had flown. Exactly in
the same way it is known that dur
ing the war several of the best
high-speed airplanes of the allies
had been able to remain in the air
in a vertical position, tail down,
supported only by the up-pull of
their airscrews-a performance
commonly known as hanging on
the prop" 1t is true that they
were only able to hang thus for a
minute or so, because their petrol

tons for 100 passengers each, in
addition to fuel, crew and stores.
They will be air liners with
great hulls which, seen without
their wings, might be mistaken for
water surface craft. Starting from
the lower reaches of the Thames,
they will make a nonstop flight to
New York in 40 hours; and calcu-
lations show that the fare by fly
ing ship can be as low, almost, as
by ocean steamship on the sur
face.
With the Fairey flying boat
Great Britain, as fact, has the
largest flying machine in the
world; but the new constructions

Dwarf Zeppelins.
"We do not now assume that
there is any limit to the size OF
the flying boat which can be
built" said an engineer at the
Hayes factory Four giants were
flying in early June with a
wing spah of 140 feet and a cruis-
ing speed of 10 miles per hour
They will be twice as speedy as a
Zeppelin, climb more than twice
as fast, will dwarf the Zeppelin by
their size and cruise l,500 miles
without taking on new petrol. The
hull is almost circular. There are
no bulkheads. There is ample ac-
commodation for sleeping, cook
ing and living for seven men.

Paris, Aug. 6.-You have heard
OF the Helicopter?
Beware of it. It's promise is
sinister, though it is wonderful.
Its chief use seems to be for war!
We are rapidly entering the
glorious epoch of the air. Yet
people all over Europe are full OF
worry. l..--....... .-.....
First. the good facts, then the
bad.
The Goliath Farman' commer-
cial' airplane has just made a
sensational trip, three times around
the circuit Paris, Orleans, Rouen,
Metz, Dion, Paris in "a hours, at
an average speed OF n miles per
hour. The circuit measures $50
miles and three times round it
makes 200 miles.
This trip won race on condi-
tons instituted by the technical
section of the French govern
ment's aeronautics. The planes
must be multi-motor (three mot
ors minimum), of a speed at least
90 miles per hour at 1000 yards
altitude, and 20 miles at 5000
yards, with the theoretical "ccil-
ing" at 4,500 yards. And there
must be an attained safe relation
between carrying space and use

Aerial Network.
The Goliath, a French COM
mercial machine of 2H tons net
freight and passenger charge,
easily attained the speeds required,
and rose in one hour, five. min
utcs to 4,5s0 yards altitude.
Which is the latest record, in
its way.
Frenchmen every day are spin
ming an aerial network OF pas
senger, mail and freight routes
across Europe, in every direction.
They compete on the Paris-Lon-
don route with the British conf
panies; but elsewhere, in south
ern and central Europe. they
practically hold the field alone.
Tourists wishing to travel by
air to Spain, Portugal, Italy or
even further afeld to Morocco,
can buy their tickets in the Paris
boulevard and start next day. The
great air line to Casablanca has
enlarged its service from last
year and takes the flying post
into the interior of Morocco.

North to Warsaw.
But it is in the new central
European states that the French
airrnen are making their really
great effort. Every morning an
airplane leaves for Strasbourg.
Thence, the air line crosses
Nuremberg and south Germany
straight to Prague, the capital of
Czecho- -Slovakia.

various flying companies Offices
show how these air expresses are
being multiplied. They will reach
Belgrade and Sofia, Bucharest and
Constantinople. Sturdy optimism
is the characteristic of French
flying companies, and so they
never refer to the difficulties of
organizing services across the
Carpathians and the Balkan states,
but merely say that the Bucharest
and Constantinople routes will
have adequate airplane service.
To Promote Prestige.
How is it done? By the intelli-
gent cooperation of the French
government. Money is scarce in
the French treasury; but there is
always some to spare for any new
and intelligent effort to promote
French aerial prestige in Europe.
Aerial transport companies are
paid subsidies for the carrying of
passengers and mails. Otherwise,
with the huge initial costs, they
would be forced to abandon their
longer flights and cramp their
services.
Technically, also, the French
government is not sparing of aid
and generous support. No matter
what the bright new idea, there
are no knockers" or kill-joys; no
dry-rot invention-boards to nip it
in the bud. France suffered too
much from such dry-rot in the
early years of the war-her gov
crnment has reformed. Young in
ventors who think that they have
solved some vital problem have
only to show a good prinna facie
case to catch the interest OF COM
petent experts, who are young men
like themselves. Let them just
show a sound basis for their pro-
posals, and they will receive gifts
of airplane engines, of money, of
draughtsmen, constructors, EN-
gineers, and money to make their
idea a success!
rOT CIeICH AIIuy.
The Helicopter is an example of
all this.
Senior Pescara, the Argentine
inventor at Barcelona, has not only
been aided to his full needs by the
French military mission, but the
French government has actually
bought the Pescara Helicopter for
the French army, declaring itself
to be entirely satisfied with the
preliminary try-out. Henceforth,
you need not expect to hear de-
tailed descriptions of its develop
ment; because the French have
bought it, not for you and us, but
for its army. The particular "ace"
attached to it is de Rcinanet--
holder of the worlds speed record
in an airplane.
Not Like Airplane.
A Helicopter, yon know, is an
aerial machine different entirely
from an airplane. Instead of
mounting into the air obliquely by
taking advantage of air pressure on
rigid sliding" planes, it mounts
vertically through the medium of
a propeller revolving horizontally
at the top of the nlachine-it
screws itself straight up into the
air. While all the problems are

different from those Of the aero
plane (the Pescara mast and hori-
zontal!y revolving wings are not
topheavy, though they look so),
the difficulty has always been to
achieve horizontal flight after the
necessary height had been attained.
With an apparatus similar to all
airplane joystick, Pescara controls
the angle at which the wing pro-
pellers are. Thus he can, certainly
in theory, control his forward up
ward and downward flight He
can also control the direction in
which the series of propellors ro-
tate, working one against the other
so as to act as brake in descend
ing. BY so doing and sloping the
wings forward, Pescara claims that
he can land at as low speed as
foot and half second. Such
landing would reduce the number
of accidents by go per cent.

Meanwhile, another Helicopter
is reported from Austria by Harry
Harper, technical secretary of the
British civil aerial transport COM
nittee. 1t seems that there is no
doubt of its success. Its official
trials have been vouched for by
American as we'll as Austrian Of
