Since, then, it is of the highest consequence to humanity to learn the conditions which may affect our climate and the comlngf harvests and provide agalr.bt unfavorable ones, and since In the present state of knowledge, it Is only by a rry large expenditure for a special solar observatory, to be .ocated at some great altitude, that these questions, not merely -of such Interest to science, but to all humanity, can be solved. I should wish mj'-Hf to see such considerable sum devoted to this purpose. You ask me to expie an opinion about the use of this amount In aerodromles. It Is my belief that this latter subject Is ose of extreme Importance I mean that of the opening of the nlr to regular traffic first, rcrhars, for the arts of war, and after ward for these of peace. It Is evident that the commercial development of aerodrom lc must pass through the same period of experiment and advancement which has been common to 'all great commercial In ventions of "the present'day, as the dy namo and electric motors, and I take this opportunity of stating that th.e use of a flying machine for these purposes has ne'r jet been tried on a large scale.

I hav entire confluence In the princi ples and calculations upon wh'ch the nejodrome Is huilt. and I enlertaln no doubt that this final success will eventual ly be achieved. It is evident that the expenditure of a large sum, such as a million dollars, in the perfection of these machines will greatly hasten the day when these appliances will be at the service of the public and the great highway to everywhere over our heads be opened to all.

Selfridge, secretary, assisted by Augus tus Post, tcr,ry of the Aero Club of America, haa receutli rn eps-aard In put ting th finishing touches to tn. U4i'.:'.3 aud In making experlmenta In actual flight. In the first test a running start of a little more than 100 feet was made on the level, and when a speed of twenty miles an hour had been reached the operator Inclined th front rudder to the ascending position and the aeroplane rose quickly to a height ot twenty feet and sailed away. There seemed no reason why the flight should not have been continued for many miles, but at a distance of go yards the operator, having a momentary hesitation aa to ths effectiveness of his controls, turned the front rudder to the descending position and the machine gradually came down and landed In a ploughed field alongside the track. There was great cheering from the large crowd assemble' . V 11 irY V'n-7 s&&tnf. ,.y'7-r. tVffc f (JY-r-yq -f ' c t . and the records were officially attested for the Aero club, Dr. Bell expressed himself much pleased with the showing made by the new aeroplane, which was exceedingly good for a maiden flight. He Insisted that the flight might have been continued for a long time had not the pressure of the air on the under surfaces of the wind base caused the base to buckle up and get in tho way ' the Propeller, and the consequent fouling impaired the action of the machine temporarily. "When that is repaired," be said, "w will tr. .fV -!'-'V" &tiM vt- f," -'"i i ii ?-v go at It again and In all probability wo shall have something more to show. But, at all events, while our former trial waa truly called an experiment, this can truly be called a demonstration. Every new trial now will bring us nearer to the goal. "When the people see a machine flylr-g over their heads they have no further doubt of the ability of man to fly. But, as a matter of fact, while we have today made an appreciable step In advance, It is not popularity tht we are seeking. We. are concentrating ourselves on making actual scientific progress,' Later the White Wings flew 1,017 feet In nineteen seconds. While Dr. Bell Is greatly interested in this form ot flying machine, it Is stated on good authority that his real scientific pet bear little resemblance to It. He Is now preparing to build an Improved aerodrome composed of over 6,000 cells ef tetrahedral form. These trlangler cells are of silk. They have a six Inch base line, and are framed In thin slips of wood. Instead of having the two plane surfaces of the White Wings form, this aerodrome Is virtually ya bank of contiguous cells. The experimental machine made last year wa thlrty-nln foet long and nine feet deep. The new machine will be a trifl larger. The operator sits In the center and easily controls the machine. Dr. Bell when ques- tlorjad as to the prospect of developing an effective and practical machine of this typo said: "The White Wings shows progress on the exact lines It was Intended to follow. It is an improved form of the flying machine that have so far been successful. It secures high speed, at the expense possibly of tome degree of stability. "But, like other of the same typ, M requires the greatest concentration 1 and presence of mind as well as skill for It effective operation, and mistakes are apt to have serious results, especially In th experimental stages, In which tho operator has to learn the new business of coping wltti Instant decision with the wind gust and overcoming th vagaries of th machine. "What I am now proposing to do In my new cellular construction aerodrome I to support the machine and the operator in the air to begin with. My experiment are carred on over water. I fly the ap paratus In the air as the schoolboy file hi kite, attaching It by the kite Btrlng or. In thl case, by cable to a steamboat. "The operator then starts th motor on tli machine.

This famous American aeronaut, whom Europeans have nicknamed "the bird man," does like his flying machine to be photographed, b ut he does not mind posing for the himself. The phrenologists say that Mr. Wright's head shows that ha has certain qualities (chiefly a fine sense of balance and of the adjustment of forces) which give him especial aptitude for solving the problems of flight. — Illustrated London News.

It was a long time getting across the field, and it was near ? be as upper end of the field waited more impa tiently. and Maj.

A start had been made at conquering the air when the Wrights took' up the work. This wss In 1900. Wilbur was 33 and Or ville was 29. They had been -interested In machinery and had made a living by repair ing and making bicycles. They lived with their father. Bishop Milton Wright of the Methodist church, who was an Interested spectator at some of the recent tests at Fort Myer. They started aeroplaning for amusement. The experiments of Octave Chanute of Chi cago, who was one of the first in this country to try gliding, had Interested them. For two years they had a lot of fun gliding from the tops ot the hills around Dayton. It was good sport. In 1902 they took up the plan of building a flying machine. They made their first trial on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, N. C. The ma chine flew 852 feet in 69 sec onds against a 22-mile wind. The next machine did bet ter. They made mors than 100 flights In It in 1904. Few persons outside of the family knew what the broth ers were accomplishing. Miss Wright was an ardent enthu siast and she was fully as pleased as Wilbur and Or ville when, on September 30, they succeeded in flying a complete circle. In the spring of 1905 the Wrichta rebuilt their flier and continued the experi mental flights. It is characteristic of their patience and painstaktngness that they did not attempt a long flight that year until Sept. 26. In the next few days they made flights varying from 11 mites In 18 minutes 9 seconds to 24 1-5 miles in 38 minutes 8 v i . r.-- T. . .-.iT i m It ' ' SI'. liming I mmy. m lea- s Lfi-tW 'i, , it i"A"-" ' .1 -- 7? h . i : . i 1 : V .

Katherine Wright's savings helped the brothers through thkt year and also helped them to enter Into negotia tions with Germany in May, 1907. The Wrights gave the Germans a chance to see what thr machine could do. "The machine," said the German report, "Is fit for acrobats, not tor soldiers." If Germany had not developed Its Zeppe lin it would have proved a serious decision, this refusal of the Wrights' offer. It was a serious setback tor the Wrights. They were almost without resources, and rivals, Santos Dumont and Farnam among them, were ap pearing. Charles R. Flint saved the day for the Wrights.

He won second place in the men's contest en December 8. tion among the boys, two distinct classes of student competitors will be opened at the Young Men's Christian Association this month, one for boys under eighteen years, to meet on Friday afternoons between 3:45 and 5 o'clock, and one for men and boys above the age of eighteen. On Saturday afternoons model contests will be held in the armory, where special prizes will be given for each class. Because the Aero Club has displayed little real interest in the doings of the youngsters, it is now proposed to reor ganize the Junior Aero Club as the Junior Aeronautic Society. The Aeronautic So ciety has continually encouraged the work of the boys, and on June 26 last put up twelve prizes which were distributed at the Engineers' Club on December 29 in the form of special medals. Many of the members of the Aeronautic Society have engaged in model contests of their cwn, and the association of the boys with the older workers at Morris Park has estab lished an acquaintance and given encour agement. A committee of three from the Aeronautic Society, headed by Carlos De Zafra, is ready to meet a committee of the junior club to discuss the affiliation of the organizations, in response to an appeal made by W. M. Mohr. a school teacher, living at No. L^l Valentine avenue. The Bronx. Af an outcome of' the exhioit held at Madison Square Garden by the juniors, the wireless division of the club formed the Junior Wireless Club. The organizers were W. E. D. Stokes, jr., Frank King, George Eltze, F. Munn and Frederick Seymour, all youngsters averaging fourteen years of age. Miss Todd was elected honorary president and Professor R. A. Fessenden, of Brant Rock, Ma.<s., was enlisted as con sulting engineer. Last April young Stokes, whose wireless outfit still crowns the Ansonia apartments, reprimanded the Army and Navy depart ments about the condition of some of their wireless instruments, and, as the report PER&Y W. PIERCE. His models have won him a repu tation in several states and many prizes as well. He is fifteen years old. Aero Club are Percy W. Pierce, fifteen years old, whose aeroplane models have sailed more than one hundred feet: Le Roy Morris, of Kansas City, also fifteen; Cromwell Dixon, sixteen, the inventor of a small dirigible; Charles B. Whittlesey, jr.. ten years old; John B. Sanborn, sixteen, of Philadelphia; Wilson Marshall, jr.. twelve years old; Ralph S. Barnaby, six teen, and Walter H. Phipps, seventeen, n student at the Stevens Institute of Tech nology, whose models are of unusyai ex cellence. Throughout New York it is estimated that nearly five hundred boys are enrolled in aeronautic clubs. Tn Chicago a branch of the New York organization is being started by Arthur Booth, a teacher of manual training, who a'ted as Miss Todd's first mechanician.

TO EXHIBIT IN BOSTON. JAMES K. DALKRAMAN'S MODEL. It won the West Side Young Men's Christian Association Cup recently. RALPH S. BARNABY. His monoplane model won by a fiigHl of ninety-eight feet in the 22d Regiment Armory on December 8. He is sixteen years oid. $1 to $3. They are quite likely to be dam aged in landing, and repairs come so fre quently that little money is spent on the original models, as a rule. Some of the boys can build a good model in an hour. Wilson Marshall, jr., son of Commodore Marshall, was a successful competitor at the Gould riding academy with his pur chased model, but all except homemade machines have since been ruled out. Most of the models weigh Jess than a pound, and the monoplanes are the favor ite type. The propeller is operated by a twisted rubber band in the majority of cases, although in some of the heavier bi plane models clockwork has been used. The boys are now busy devising some motive power for their models which will permit a longer flight. When a mo tive power has been found which will te suited to the extreme light weight of the average model, there is little doubt that the small flying machine will become the most popular toy American boys have ever BRL\G SCHOOL TIIA T IS, BY MEAXS MOVISG Work of Tuskegee - : To Be Shown at Car negie Hall.
