Can You Tell?

How the Gyrosccpe steers Airplan,

How the Gyroscope Steers Airplanss
The automatic gyro-pilot Ia a gyro.
scopic instrument which controls tho
steering apparatus Of an airplane or
balloon. In the same manner that A
human pilot does It. although the auto.
matte pilot is more dependable
Elmer a. Sperry made thorough
study Of the subject and figured out that
n gyroscope could be used. not To hold
the nlane upright by force, as suggested.
but to control the steering gears in the
same manner as pilot only more
positively and uui,kly. After great study
and much experimenting along these
lines. his son Lawrence assisting ana
carving out all the flying tests. he nro.
drced the Airplane Stabilizer, now
called the Automatic Pilot.
In Paris. In May. 1914. Lawrence
SDerrv in comNetition with many other
ariators won the French prize of So.
600 for an automatically controlled
airplanc.
This statilizer consisted Of four gyro.
scopes. two for controlling the rudder
and two for controlling the elevator and
ai'erons. Since that time the auto.
matt" pilot has been modified and In.
c'udes only, two gyroscooes. one for the
rudder and one for the ailerons etc,
The automatic rilot Is used at It's best
on large nlanes and diricibles. where
the physical strain OH the aviator IA
greatest. With this instrument tho
aviator merely gets his altitude and
course, then throws in the automatic
pilot. which will keep the airplane
or dirigible at the set altitude and on
the set course. When 1t IS desired 70
change the course or altitude. the auto.
matte pilot Is thrown out of operation.
the course or altitude changed. and tbe
instrument thrown in again. A new
development of this stabi'izin7 idea is
used to control the roll Of ships at sea,
When these horoscopes are installed on
all ships. they will do away with seq.
sickness.

he was created King of Naples and King
of spain. After the battle of Waterloo the
two brothers met at the island of AK and
Joseph offered to take the Emperor's place.
This offer was refused. Napoleon had sew
eral times said that if he was forced to
leave France he hoped to live in America
between New York and Philadelphia.
Louis Etienne st. Denis in his memoirs
of the Emperor says that Napoleon was
prepared to embark for this country on a
lugger commanded by Capt. Besson and
that he was to be accompanied on the voy-
age by the Duke of Rovigo, Gen. Lalle-
mant and himself. A family council, how
ever, was held~en the eve of the day set
for the embarkation and it was decided
that the Emperor should surrender himself
to the British. 1t is a matter of interest
ing speculation what would have been the
result had he kept to his original inten-
ton and succeeded in reaching America.

Americans were guests of Joseph Bona

Napoleon, afterward Napoleon Ill, found
a haven there when he was in America
Josephs two daughters, Zenaide and
Charlotte. to whom st. Denis refers as
Napoleons favorite neices. lived with him
at Point Breeze. Zenaide and her husband,
Prince Charles, the ornithologist remained
in America even after Joseph went back
TO Europe. Charlotte returned to France
and married a brother of Napoleon III.

brilliant entertainments were given in their
honor.
Nearly four months after the marriage
Jerome had his first word from Napoleon
1t was an order for him to return to
France and directions TO the French Con-
sul-General in New York TO prohibit all
captains of French vessels from receiving
on board "the young person to whom
Citizen Jerome has connected himself" as
it was the First Consul's will thar should

be sent Immediately back to the United

Nevertheless Jerome set sail with his
wife for Lisbon in March, 1905. Nine.
Bonaparte was not permitted to land and
her husband went alone to Paris 10 plead
with his brother. They never met again;
the uncompromising pressure which Ma
poleon put on Jerome was more than one
of his weak nature could stand. Writing
to her father of. her husband Nine. Bona

we supposed him possessed of some prin-

Joseph Comes to America.

Joseph under the name of NJ. Bouchard
boarded the brig Commerce at Royau on
July %, 1915, and reached New York
thirty-five days later. He remained in this
city for a short time and then going to

miles below Trenton. He had the prop

formed into little lakes and at Point Breeze,
on a river bluff, overlooking the Delaware
Valley for miles, he built a big, rambling,
one story house. He lived at Point Breeze
for fifteen years under the name of Count
de Survillier.
The first house was burned through the
carelessness of a guest and another and
better was Immediately erected almost on
the same site. Princess Caroline Murat
in her memoirs says that nothing in Eu-
rope could be compared with the glorious
sunsets to be seen from Point Breeze. She
describes the house as being in the style
Of an Italian villa with a flat terraced roof
overlooking the parks and woods AT the
end of large marble entrance han was
wide staircase-the steps broad and low
as the Count was in delicate health and
no longer young-and on each side recep-
ton rooms and a picture gallery with per-
haps the finest collection of old masters in
America.
There were. too, underground passages
and tunnels with openings on the river
bank. These were the subject of much
mysterious speculation by Joseph's neigh
bors. BY some there were believed TO be
prepared for the arrival of Napoleon aud
by others as places Of safe retreat in case
Spanish desperadoes came to recover the
crown jewels of Spain. which it was said
Joseph had concealed at Point Breeze
OF the existence of the jewels there was
perhaps, no doubt, for Joseph is said to
have showed to some of his -confidants
handfuls of unmounted precious stones,
sword handles studded with sapphires and
rubies diamond tiaras and heavily jeWeled
pieces apparently wrenched from some
larger ornaments. But the mysterious
schooner bearing the great Corsican did
not come and so far as Joseph's neighbors
knew. the dreaded Spaniards never put in
an appearance.
Life at the home of these American
Bonapartes seems to have been extremely
pleasant. We have testimony to this ef-
feet from Princess Murat and Mary Craw-
ford Fraser (Nfrs. Hugh Fraser). who had
either enjoyed the hospitality of Point
Breeze or had been told of ii by members
The New York herald., 1922-12-17
Lucien Murat's Marriage.

Another member of the Bonaparte house
hold was Prince Lucien Murat, son of
Joachim Murat, King of Naples. and Jo-
seph's nephew. He kept his uncle busy
meeting his expenses and standing off his
creditors. According to the stories told of
him, he got credit where he could and
borrowed from whom ever would make him
a loan. An old account, bearing the date
Of July 2, 1921, which is still preserved by
the descendants of a Bordentown store
keeper have several entries similar to this
one: 'Lucien Murat, to money I let him
have, $50"
One day the gay. irresponsible young
man drove out toward Trenton with the
beautiful Georgian Fraser. an heiress of
Bordentown. When they came back he
announced that they had been married.
Joseph sighed, "Whom he marries must
support him. I am through" The bright.
clear Drained American girl undertook the
task and fulfilled it successfully as long
as they remained in America by conduct
ing a school for young women. They went
to Europe later, and line of socially
prominent people are proud to refer to this
American girl as a strong, steadying in
fluence in their family history.
In February, 1922, young Jerome Napo-
leon, then a youth of almost IS. visited his
uncle Joseph at his Philadelphia home. He
had come at the urging of his mother. who
had conceived the plan of a marriage be-
tween her son and Charlotte, the youngest
of Joseph's daughters. 1t was thought that
Joseph himself favored the match, but
Jerome received so little encouragement
from his uncle that he wrote to his mother
dropped. This was one of the few times
that members of the two Bonaparte fam
lilies in America ever met
When Joseph Bonaparte sailed from New
York for Europe in July, 1892, Bordentown
deeply regretted his departure. His pres
ence was felt to have been a public bless
ing; he greatly increased the prosperity
of the town, and he carried its name
wherever that of ST. Helena was known.
There was great rejoicing when he came
back five. years later.
But in 1889 he left Bordentown again for
England, much older looking and much
more broken man. He promised to return,
but he died in italy, July 27, 1871 His
grandchid son of Zenaide, lived at Bor-
dentown until he was 25 He inherited the
American property of his grandfather
Point Breeze has passed from him through
several ownerships. There remain now
few traces of its former beauty
