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

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

operator lifts the elevation planes. the
machine shoots upward, aid the Journey

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 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.

Glenn n. Curtlss' two most
notable flights were his winning of the

waiting for opportunities to break other
world records in aviation.
