How Man Has; Voyaging ! Story of the Conquest of the Sky by Application of the Bird Principle of Aerial Locomotion?The Wrights the Original Aeroplane Boys. By J. A. EDGERTON. Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association.] MEN have wanted to fly for several thousand years, and now they are doing 1L So 6troug has b?en the desire to emuate the housefly and the crow that we 1 lave pictured heaven as a place wnere are should all have wings. If, as Omar lays, "heaven Is the image of fulJlled desire." then the wish to fly has >een the chief want of man. He has Ireamed of It in paradise nnd lived to lee it come true on earth. When Dharles K. Hamilton over the Mlneola leld chased a bluebird hither and yon intii be had the poor thing scnred out >f Its wits the feat marked a new departure in htjman history.

The Wright brothers by lie use of flexible tips to assure equillirlum and of elevation and direction udders, as well as sustaining planes, notor and propeller, solved the probem of the ages and actually aviated a leavler than air machine. At Kitty Elawk, N. C., In the Daredevil?or is It :be Kllldevll ??hills, they experimented with gliders until they could slide lown a breeze. Then at their home In > Dayton, O.. they Installed a motor and >egan to fly at night so that uobody would catch them at It. The Original Fly-by-nights. Strange stories came out of Dayton those days. People were sure the Wrights were flying, but had never ieen them do It The inventive brothers were not yet ready to take the pubic Into their confldeuce aud until they were the dear public might as well go >ut and lose Itself. It Is altogether possible that the.v wore then planning :o take out those very patents which ire now cnuslng so tunny grouches imong other aviators. Untli they had jerfeeted their machine and liad the patents safe in tlielr inside pockets [hey were not going to let anybody dse steal their ideas. The oliief item )f their patent was the flexible tips which are used to keep their craft on , in even keel. Any one who has watch- i *1 the buzzard soar has seen him shift md tip his wings to maintain Ids equl- j ibrlura. That Is Just what the Wright ( irothers did with the aeroplane. Why ( I ibould they not patent it? If any in- | entlon should be protected from petty arceny, why should not this, which nay prove the greatest invention of he ages? As the aeroplane is now perfected ts resemblance to the bird is quite tattling. The elevation rudder In front akes the pluce of the bead, and the danes are widespread like the wings, lip flexible tips answering to the slant Achieved by Air Route Operation of the Heavier Than Air Machine Described In Detail ? Some of the Startling Stunts of Hamilton and Other Aviators Who Dare. of the wings, the guiding rudder Behind acting as the tall. There Is one fundamental difference, however. The bird gets Its motor power by flapping Its wings. Now, man has never discovered how to flap his mechanical wings. The only times he ever tried It ended In disaster. But be has learned to run six cylinder gasoline engines and screw propellers. Thus It Is that the aeroplape blows people's hats oft. smells like an automobile and buzzes like a swarm of bees. There Is one - - 11? r? aavanrage id me prupeuct, uunc<?. * gets speed. It would take a rather husky bird to fly from Albany to New York In one forenoon or to go from New York to Philadelphia and back In one day, yet the aeroplane manages both with seeming ease. Abandonment of the B&Uoon. For a century or more the aeronauts confined their attentions to the balloon, finally perfecting the dirigible, which IKSS?BALLOON, DIRIGIBLE AIR2ROPLANE. reached" Its highest standard under Snntos-Dumont In France and Count Zeppelin In Germauy. The aeroplane Is an American Invention. Since Its advent the balloon, dirigible or otherwise, has become a back number. The gas bag, which rises on the same principle as does a bubble In water, may be all right for county fairs, but for real air travel It Is out of It, passe and a has-been. The mechanical arrangement of the aeroplane Is simplicity Itself. For example, take the machine used by Glenn H. Curtlss In his flight from Albany to New York, a distance of lfiO miles. The same principles are lavolved in this as in the Wright biplane, as evidenced by the suit of the Wright brothers against Curtlss for infringe ment of patent. The two sustaining planes of the Curtlss machine are thirty foot from tip to tip and four feet apart. The seat of the operator and the engine are situated between these planes, the screw propeller being Just behind the engine. The steering wheel Is immediately ic front of the operator and controls both the elevation planes, which are ahead, nud the steering rudder in the renr. The elevation planes are controlled by a backward and forward motion of the wheel, the steering rudder by a turn of the wheel, as on n ship or an automobile. The e<iuillbrium planes are at the ends of the main sustaining planes and are controlled by a movement of the operator's body, which also moves the back of his seat, which in turn Is connected with the planes by means of wires. The same motion that tilts one of these planes downward tips the other upward. Thus if the operator feels the left end of his machine dropping he leaus to the right, which is the natural movement for him to mnbo Tlila mnllnn pnrrinn xrtth It tho back of his seat, which tips the left hand equilibrium plane upward and the right hand one downward, thus restoring balance. For shutting off the engine be presses a foot pedal, which 3hort circuits It; otherwise the engine Is controlled by levers at his hand. We're Off! After starting the motor the operator takes Ills seat, attendants in the i meantime hnnglng on to the machine until given the word to let go. Then the aeroplane 6tarts forward on lta three wheels until It gains sufficient momentum to take the air. By pulling the steering wheel toward him (fee ? ?I? operator lifts the elevation planes. the machine shoots upward, aid the Journey is begun. After that Jt Is a matter of guiding, finding th( proper elevation and keeping an evet keel. When ready to alight the oper? tor chooses his landing, which must be an open level field, shuts off his e iglne, turns his elevation planes dov Dward and goes earthward with a swiftness which takes the breath of the groundlings below. At the proper dh tanee from terra firms he elevates his planes sharply, which serves both to check the motion and break the d scent The result is that he glides f irward and lights as gently as n bird. ; At the Miueola field on Long Island Charles K. Hamilton In ai Curtiss biplane recently did some surprising stunts. Cutting figure elfchts in the air were amoug his most commonplace performances. One of his most daredevil feats was stopping his engine at a grent height and dropping to the earth. When It Heemod that he would be dashed to certain death he would start his engine agnin, elevate his planes aud glide away. He would also swoop down to within a few feet of the heads of spectators, causing them to scatter In all directions, then rise again and sweep away until he was like a bird on the distant horizon. He habitually smokes a cigarette on his machine. Despite his pranks he did not sufTer un accident at Mineola. A TI A 1 mi *11 A xew Aeropiane inrmers. Since the first public exhibition by the Wrights ti e aeroplane, has made marked advance and accomplished many thrilling feats. In France Wilbur Wright bad the kings and notables of the world his eager spectators. Afterward Orville Wright at Fort Myer fulfilled all the government requirements, making a straightaway flight to Alexandria and return without alighting, also breaking the record by remaining In the air with a. passenger for more t^xnii an hour. Later in Germany Orville repeated the triumphs ol Wilbur In France, making at one time a 1,000 foot ascension, the highest uji to that time. Another notable aero plane feat by the Wright brothers was Wilbur's circling of the statue of Liberty and Grant's tomb during the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York. Of late the Wrights have settled down to manufacturing and training operators. They never did fly In prize contests. Their whole purpose now le to protect their patents and perfect the aeroplane as a commercial proposition. Their dropping of the thrill tonkins line has net been followed by other aviators, however. Count that month lost that does not break some aviation record. Louis Blerlot's feat of crossing the English channel was afterward beaten by another Frenchman, who went over In shorter time, and this In turn was cant in the shade by the Englishman Itolls, who, In a Wright biplane. crossed the channel tand back without alighting. Louis Prulbanhas made some of the most woiderful ol all the flights recorded. g< Ing from London to Manchester, a dfitance ol 18Q miles, covering 117 mlleV without alighting, lu 2 hoars and 50? minutes, PaiUhnn also ?ltl tude attained by an aerogjne, 4,16.' feet, at Los Angeles.

Curtlss' two most notable flights were his winning of the speed prize at Rhe:!ms and his recent trip from Albany to New York. All these aviators and others who as yet have not succeeded In flying Into the universal limelight are willing and waiting for opportunities to break other world records in aviation.
