GNOME AND THE FAIRY

ONCE upon a time there lived an
~ Old GnOme, who called himself
the King of the Gnomes because of his
age. He never did any work and lived
by stealing into the homes of the hard
working Gnomes, when they were
away and taking what he could find
One day, as he came up from the
underground home of the Gnomes, he
happened to sit down under violet
leaf at the very time one of the Fairies
was resting in the violet blossom.
The little Fairy was on her way
home from some work she had done
for her Queen and stopped to rest,
and fell asleep in the pretty violet.
She dropped her magic wand on the
ground and it was the wand that the
Old Gnome saw first.
''Ah. there must be a Fairy about"
said he. II will creep out and look
around"
OF course, he at once espied the
pretty Fairy asleep and he decided to

Other Types OF Vertical
Flying Machines offered

Whether or not this type Of machine
is brought to actual use, DR.. Zshm
stated, az least two other types OF
planes that may fly vertically have
been offered to the government. This
fact is not widely known.
One OF these, Of which Or. Zahm OBJ
served experiments with a working
model. was almost identical with the
present type OF plane, except that
mounted behind the body were two sets
Of air vanes. in groups, tilted at an ad'
Unstable angle. like those Of Venetian
blinds.
When the power was turned on, he
said. the wash" Of the air stream
from the propeilers pushing against
these groups Of vanes caused the model
to rise gently vertically. The model
was held in midair by the action, and
when the power diminished it returned
gently to earth. A full-size machine Of
the type, he said, would be equipped
with engines Of immense power in or
der TO furnish sufficient air pressure,
and when driven 20 a sufficient altitude
the vanes would be so adjusted that
horizontal motion would result. The
plane could then fy in the usual man
ner. finally using the vanes again to
descend vertically.
The other type offered to the army,
he said, was OF the present wing plan,
equipped with three propellers, two
placed far out toward the wing ends
and with vertical rudders and ailerons
similar 70 those In use. The quicker
lifting power was to be gained by
having the wash Of the central pro-
peller act upon elevators on the tail Of
the body. while the side propellers
would wash against the special ailerons
on the wing tips.

The hellcopter, or vertlcal-rising air
machine, is not an impossibility, and
should real use for such type arise
successful ones may be seen before
many years, according 70 DR.. Albert +.
Zahm, aeronautcal expert for the
navy. Had there been a need for the
helicopter during the war, he said, any
Of several types could have been per-
fected, OF which working models have
been flown.
DR.. Zahm Is an expert on design and
construction Of all manner Of flying
machines. For years he has applied his
time TO perfection Of tho airplane, and
Is we'll qualified 10 pass upon the eapa-
blities Of any.
Much interest has been shown OF
late in reports Of successful machines
Of the helicopter type being perfected,
in both Germany and England. How
ever while some flights have been
made, none Of any consequence are re-
ported by a machine equipped with
horizontal propellers or revolving
planes, designed TO rise vertically
from a confined space and descend on
the same.
That the helicopter is possible, DR..
Zahm said, is proved by the German
machine, which, rising several times
to moderate heights, has carried OBJ
servers, remained almost stationary
while In mir aud descended In safety.
The machine, however, has made no ex'
tended flight, such as would provo It's
dependabilty, but was tethered TO the
ground by mooring rope. AZ times,
when the motors failed, the machine
dropped and the passengers saved them
selves only by leaping with paraehutes'
The experiments are continuing, how
ever. with the purpose Of pcrfeeting a
motor which can be depended upon 20
maintain the machine without sudden
failure, the scientist explained, for, as
soon as tho engine stops the machine
cannot glide 10 the ground, as does an
airplanc, but drops vertically. In
proper descent the propellers should
be whirled slowly 70 ease the landing.
Present hopes Of attaining successful
vertical flight rest mainly upon the
endeavors Of Mr. Berliner and OF Louis
Brennan, of London, whose newest ma
chine Is reported as nearing compile
tion. He Is working TO win the $4,000
prize offered by the British Air Min
istry for successful flight.
The helicopter upon which most eS-
perimentation has been made consist
mainly Of two or more propeller screws
mounted horizontally on vertical
shaft, bearing engines, fuel and pas
sengers. Eqaul numbers OF propeller
blades mus, rcyolve in opposite diree-
tions that the body OF the machine may
not spin like a top. The motors, tanks
and body have been mounted in yari-
Gus positions, but the German machine
has a sort OF pulpit car mounted at the
ton OF the shaft over the propellers for
the operators.

Worked On by Father

In evolving the helicopter Berliner
has been preceded BY his father, Emile
Berliner, an inventor. who took up the
old idea Of constructing machine that
could rise vertically from a standstill
about twelve years ago. Since then he
has been experimenting, building and
rebuilding il, until he was forced to
give up the task about three years ago

In short, this whole accomplishment
Of which Mr. Daniels now boasts was

To Captain Palmer belongs the credit.
l. was disobcdieneej Captain Palmer

Is called "Thc Answer 10 the 75-M!le

"'Paris bombardedl' was the news
that shocked the world on March %,

Sir. Daniels does not state that our
railway batteries put big Bertha out
Of action. To do so would make him
an object Of ridicule TO all Of our al

this. which will serve 10 gull the unin-
formed:

Tho above cxamples-and literally
