NEW PLANE
WILL FLAP
WINGS

ONDON.-In Wimbledon
garden is to be found an air
- machine which is quite I'M
like any other in the world. The
man who has made the machine
is French engineer, NJ. Passat.
He calls It a helithoplane and
several well-known people in avi-
alton who have seen 1t demon
strated by the inventor speak en-
Enthusiastically of the possibilities
that have been revealed.
Sixteen small wings are pro.
vided for, in sets of four. Each
set revolves vertically in the
manner of a windmill. In the
process of revolving each wing
comes up at a neutral angle,
but on the downward action be-
comes horizontal. BY this method
an effect is automatically secured
that approXimates the movement
of a birds wings. The only vari-
alton is that instead of alternat-
ing up and down the flap is
achieved by a rotary motion.
For the purpose of experiments
only one set Of wings has been
made, and this is worked on a
special stand by an engine of
only ten horsepower. This is
sufficient to move a weight Of
260 pounds forward, and also to
lift it or feet in the air. 1t
is contended from this that with
q more powerful engine and four
sets of wings, instead Of one,
flight would be simple. The
wing sets would be fixed at each
corner of a square, and the en-
CINE would be centrally situated
in a small frselage equipped with
a tail.
This machine" said the in
.ventor, lis not a helicopter. 1t
is built on sound principles that
have been overlooked.
"In the science of flying there
has been too great a tendency,
/ feel, to ignore natures laws
to be satisfied with the assump-
ton that if you only get enough
power on board, anything will
fly. We have much to learn
from birds, and my machine is
a practical application Of the fly
ing motion.
II do not regard the helicopter
as practicable because it is sup
posed to rise vertically. No bird
ever does that; the nearest ap-
proach is in the case of the
lark when the wind is favorable.
my helithOplane will rise at
once at an angle Of about 45
degrees"

PLEASURE is deaf when told

All are not thieves that dogs

Blunders mostly come from let

Garrett P. Serviss Explains What Is
Meant by Variation of the
Magnetic Pole
20
By Garrett P. Serviss,



ITO what is variation of the
magnetic pole due? According
to Professor Mcmillan the
magnetic pole consists Of
small area located on terra
firma. which being a magnetic
deposit cannot clearly under
stand why it could have an an
nual variation.-J. S. W.,
West Lynn, Mass"
CTRICTLY speaking, varia-
ton of the magnetic pole
~ means variation of the mag
netic meridian, !. e. of the direc-
ton in whcih the magnetic nee
die points with reference to the
geographical meridian, or the
north-and-sOuth line running
through the place where the OBJ
server is stationed. 1t does not
necessarily mean a change of
place of the magnetic pole itself,
although some slow change of
that kind may occur.
The unfortunate term "declina-
ton" Is applied to the departure
in direction Of the magnetic me-
ridian, east or west from the
geographical meridian, whereas
in astronomical geography the
same term means departure
north or south of the equator,
the sun for instance having
northern "declination" of so or
so many degrees when it is
north of the equator,
The word pole" is also some
what confusing, as used in ter
restrial magnetism. The earth
is said to have two magnetic
poles, one in the northern and
the other in the southern hem
isphere. But, not only are these
magnetic poles different in their
nature and their position from
the geographical poles of the
axis around which the earth
rotates, but they are also quite
different from the poles Of an
artificial magnet, such as mag
netic needle, or a bar magnet.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-04-18

The earth has correctly enough
been described as a great magnet.
But 1t is spherical magnet, and
it's true poles of magnetism, in
stead of being situated at the OPP
poSite ends of an axis, running
through the center, may better be
described as lying close together
in tn center of the earth, though
they do, each on its own side of
the center, produce phenomena
which lead to the selection of GER
tain points as representing the
poles of the earth's magnetism.
In other words, as Kraft and
Blot have shown, 1.-The equivalent
magnetic poles of spherical mag
net" equivalent that is with refer.
ence to the poles of bar magnet),
ARE practically at the same dis
lance from all points on the earth s
surface, and this accounts for the
very slight increase in the weight
of iron which might be expected
if it were carried from the magnet
equator to the magnetic poles"
1t is not correct to speak OF an
area as constituting the magnetic
pole, or of it's being a magnetic
deposit" There are scattered over
the earth many local magnetic
poles are an expression of the
deposit" There are catered over
poles, caused probably by magnetic
deposits, but the two principal
magnetic activity of the eartn as
a whole. 1t is due to local influ-
ences that the magnetic meridians
are anything but straight lines like
the geographic ones. but these me-
ridians have as whole a tendency
to long period variation, which
may ne connected with SOME shift
ing of the position Of the magnetic
poles, owing to causes that have net
been discovered.
This general variation for hun
dreds Of years has been eastward
ly. But there is an annual varia-
ton, which consists of a to and
fro swing.
