I>KC. 22. lino. 1 Curtiss and Wriuhl Maciiines Con pannl. While Curtiss and the Wrigh brothers, the American aeroplan inventors have always advocated tti olplane, leaving the monoplane iU velopment to the French, the Amet lean machines tire not nearly s Identical as might be suppose trom the photographs o it lie two 1 flight. The pictures show all o the similarities with few of the ?lif ferences. To the average person, a blpian is an aeroplane with two wing superimposed, and they are al alike excepting that the Wright have skids and have to start fror a rail, while Curtiss uses wheel and may start from any ordinar; smooth ground. This difference i an important one, as anyone whi has seen both machines fly may tes tify. The ease with which Curtis looveS the ground within a few mo tnents of the time he takes the ma chine from its shed is in sharp con trast with the work of getting tin Wright machine started. It take the combined effort of a dozen mei to haul the Wright flyer urnuni on its cumbersome wide-tire< wheels and adjust it on the start ing rail before it is nearly read; for a flight as is the Curtiss ma < nine at all times. The difference in t!u Amerieai !thc aims in their builders. Tin machines are buili with distinctl: different ends in view. While lioti Clutliinft. ?<h\ on lli<- llollar. j | ' 3i\ ? ; ip1 r < Si!

In his first machine Curtiss do-; p-'.rted front the practice of otlter builders by cutting down the carry-' i ? inp purposes almost fifty per cent, i O Y is, of course, made his tnacliitte rcnsiderably lighter and l>\ adopt- i ^ i?.i' new ideas in construction. Cur- , j tits further reduced the weight. ? When it comes to power, how- i ever. Curtiss moved the other way. i 'I* 'lis winning machine at Kheains, < *t while smaller and more trim than | "1 most of the machines there, was ] 'd enuiped with an oieht-evliiid???- i'nr. i it t-'rs motor especially designed for it : r- Although he has. on a few occa- i 11 sinus. carried a passenger, and car < a- build machines to carry more. Cur- ; 1- tirs confines himself to machines t ;u built for one man. \ 18 "The future of the aeroplane is ' Uot u machine to curry passengers," ' -t" |,? hus said. "1 would not go up 1 r- wih someone else flying the ma- 1 >t cliine. I want to control the lever < it myself, and other people will feel the saute way about it . The most popular machine of the future will |K ho for one man. and it will travel i r_ fust Its value will lie in its ability . r- 'o get from one place to another i c'.'rkly. Aeroplanes may be used i 0 '< cat ry important mails because ol i f_ the speed they will he able to at- < M t.i'ti and they will also be useful in < ^ a military sense." x l8 Mr. Curtiss sees the possibilities > I of the ueroplune. as an instrument 1 __ I o| warfare, as was evidenced by his I successful experiments on Lake 1 ': ? uk. , near the traiitinr. grounds. f __[!!? will undoubtedly i.a.e .i n; chin - 1 I. litis line of work when the time ' i- | comes, hut it will he a speedy ma- t <i 'no bulb by hint for :tnv purpose.

Tin Wrights are content on the ; ,, *?. -.fi* hand, ,villi a machine which ' t, tii'tinels along at forty inilis an 1 ,_ hour and which must either return t" its starting rail before flying 1 0 again and have the starting rail 1 q nroufjht to it. n In the controls lite Curtiss and ,f ' 'ight machines are different in J ..... .Avicuii,'. immii aeroplanes uri" ' steered up and down with forward " c horizontal rudders or elevators, ? ? each having two plain's a dozen , II Vet in front of the main lifting H surfaces. The Wrights control this n ? !< vator by the movement of the ^ H lever grasped in one hand, while the .. other lever wors the lever which j8 warps the wings and controls the , 0 rear rudders. , i- The Curtiss elevator is manipulat- f, s od l>v niising or lowering the steeri ing wheel that controls the direc tion of flight laterally. The two - operations may be controlled with e one hand, leaving the other free. s Lateral steering of the C'urti3s a machine is done by means of a rear rudder hung vertically, as on a boat, ii while the Wrights steer most of the - time by warping the wings in such y a wa> that one end drags, swering - I lie machine to a new course. Equilibrium control is far the i i builders aim for stability and etii durance, the Wright machine is de[ signed more particularly tot carryy "tig .? passenger or passengers.

An aeroplane is ^ liable to tilt in any direction in th? air as It is played upon by the ever shifting currents. The t'urtiss system of balance is ^ simple.
