Aerial Fliytit is AssuredIts Vehicle an Aeroplane
As Easily as the Sea is Navigated, Says Sir Hiram
Maxim, Will the Air Be Used, in a Decade, For the
Purposes of Trade and Travel. : : : : : : :
BALLOON FOR . WAR, .
Sir Hiram Maxim, in an interview
in the New York Herald, says that
within ten years at the outside men
will be navigating the air as surely
and safely as they do the land or the
sea, and Professor Huntington also
joins in his belief, both declaring that
the aeroplane is the airship of the
future. A Herald correspondent in
terviewed some of the leading au
thorities in England, and on all
hands he was practically told: "It it
be not now, it will come soon."
Sir Hhara Maxim said: "We shall
not have any balloons in future; we
shall have flying machines. The fly
ing machine is heavier than air, Just
as the birds are. There are no bal
loons in nature."
Continuing, the famous Inventor
said: "In his recent lecture Colonel
Fullerton advised continuing experi
ments with balloons. I don't agree
with him. As a matter of fact, it has
only been on very rare occasions that
the balloon has returned to its start
ing point, and these results have only
been obtained in France.
"Much experimenting has been
done in England, but we have not at
tained such satisfactory results. At
present several of the best engineers
are engaged in studying aeronautics,
and perhaps the whole science of
aerial navigation may be solved any
day.
"These men are being assisted In
their work by clever balloon makers,
but, as I have already said, I think
the balloon will soon be a thing of
the past So I always advise my
friends to give their attention to the
flying machine.
"A few years ago the automobile
was looked upon as a sort of mon
strosity; now it is practically neees-
N.alty. and I really think that in ten
years, at the very outside, we will
be navigating the air as easily and as
surely as we are now navigating the
ea and even roads.
"For a balloon to lift it must nave
specific gravity less than air. To
attain this it must be exceedingly
fragile. Therefore It is useless for
all practical purposes. Again, It has
to be of comparatively enormous di
mensions. "Thus, yon see. In a balloon yon
nave a combination of size and fragil
ity, which must tell against its use
fulness. But with the advent of the
true flying machine these drawbacks
Willi disappear.
"feo I have no hesitation whatever
in i laying that before many more
year s pass we shall do away complete
ly y 1th the balloon. It we are ever
to lily it must be with a machine
heavier than air. Many men are
busily engaged in trying to invent a
ma chine which, like a bird, will stay
in the air as long as they wish and
go wherever they desire to guide it
'Wright brothers are engaged in
making these machines in America
and) M. Santos-Dumont has spent a
largte fortune and, I am pleased to
say, 'has met with a certain amount
of success in his experiments. The
German Emperor, too, is taking the
matter up, and he will have the lead
ing scientists in Germany at his dis
posal. Then Professor Langley and
myself have both worked hard trying
to solve the problem.
"That solution is coming, whatever
people may think, and I really believe
myself that within a year from now
there will be a great number of ma
chines in the air. This is certain to
happen within two years at any rate.
"We cannot get away from the fact
that the real flying machine has now
made its appearance. M. Santos-Dumont
has proved this in his recent
demonstrations, and these mark the
beginning of a totally new epoch in
the history of the world. There are
sure to be some startling develop
ments within the next year. We are
only on the threshold at present, and
the immediate future is full of possi
bilities. ,
"Personally, I think that the road
to success lies in the development of
powerful motors. This means care
ful and expensive experiments, yet I
feel sure that success will soon be
achieved. The flying machine will be
a sporting affair in the beginning,
just as the automobile was.
"But in the same way it-will be de
veloped so that it can be UBed for
practically all commercial purposes.
Some persons may declare this the
dream of a visionary. It is no such
thing. Flying machines have come.
They will be improved, and at no
very distant time, ten years at most,
we shall be traveling from place to
place in our flying machines Just as
at the present day we go by train or
automobile."
Professor A. K. Huntington, of
King's College, London, who was one
of the two British competitors in the
International balloon race which end
ed in England, also thinks that the
immediate future holds great proba
bilities in the development of aerial
navigation. He said:
"The future is with aeroplanes.
Personally I have not done much with
them up to now, except having mod
els made. Probably what has retard
ed progress up to now is the expense
attaching to the experiments.
"The Wright brothers have been
pegging away for years, and must
have tried a great number of models.
Some years ago they got as far as an
BUT . NOT FOR . WORK
apparatus that would life a man, and
although they have kept the result of
their trials secret, there Is no doubt
that they have made a great' advance
in the last year or two.
"Of course I am only going on
what I heard, but I think they have
succeeded in producing a flying ma
chine of practical valne. A great deal
of scepticism has been expressed
about their .flying twenty-four miles.
That ts a very considerable achieve
ment. "Yet, personally, I think they have
done it and now, so far as they are
concerned, it simply becomes a ques
tion of working out the details.
"However, it all amounts to this:
The flying machine is an accomplished
fact, as several others beside the
brothers Wright have arrived at good
results. I think we will soon see a
workable machine. You see when
once yon get a machine that will lift,
improvements are sure some very
rapidly.
"The objection I see in the aero
plane at present is its lightness and
construction, but this will be grad
ually overcome, I have no doubt. In
order to clear any obstacles near its
starting point it must be light, so
that it can lift rapidly, and on this
very account the machine can be eae
Uy damaged.
"This has occurred with M. Santos
Dumont. Still, when once we have
got to the principle of the thing, im
provements are only a question of
time. There is no doubt that the
dirigible balloon will be valuable for
war purposes, but we can never hope
to produce it at small cost, and the
future rests with the aeroplane.
"There Is no reason to doubt that
an aeroplane can be driven against
the wind, and the great thing wanted
In It now Is stability. In this lies
the weakness of this demonstration.
But, of course, one is sure to try to
overcome these difficulties.
"Still, nntil the aeroplane is kept
In the air for a longer time than M.
Santos-Dumont succeeded in doing,
it 1s not possible to say that, through
some fault ot Us construction, the
machine will not tilt. There are oc
casionally strong gusts of wind, and
any one of these might turn the aero
plane over.
In dealing with aeroplanes, it
tnnst be borne in mind that you are
traveling near the ground and, to be
successful, the machine must be built
so that it will go a sufficient height
from the ground to clear houses,
trees and anything else that may
come in the way. These difficulties
will, ot course, be overcome in time.
"But the solution of the aeroplane
is dependent upon actual experiment.
Theory helps us to see the limitations
ot any particular form ot construc
tion, bnt we do not know enough at
present to say what Is the best form
of construction. Therefore, it is by
experiment and by this method alone
that we shall learn.
"Still, I think that well within the
,next five years a very considerable
advance will have been made in this
particular branch of aeronautics.
Not so very long ago people scouted
the idea ot sending messages across
the sea by wireless telegraphy. Yet
it has been done, and in the same way
traveling through the air will he
come a reality."
M. Georges Besancon, of Paris,
secretary of the Aero Club, an editor
of the Aerophile, has received a long
letter from the Wright brothers, of
Dayton, Ohio, explaining their ex
periments in the last few years.
This letter adds little to what is al
ready known of the claims of the
Wright brothers, beyond bringing out
more clearly than ever the fact that
considerable trouble has been met
with in finding the correct way ot
maintaining one's balance in the air.
It is this problem, in fact, with which
M. Santos-Dumont is now struggling.
At the Aero Club a good deal of
scepticism reigns concerning . the
claims made by the Wrights, especial
ly with regard to the oft repeated
statement that the French Govern
ment has practically purchased the
apparatus.
M. Beiancon said that so far as he
knew the offer made by the Wrights,
that they would display the apparatus
to any one willing to pay a million
trance ($200,000) for Its purchase
in case they succeeded in flying fifty
kilometres (thirty-one and one-fourth
miles) in an hour, had never teen
withdrawn. He considered it aston
ishing that the offer had never been
accepted, seeing that no risks were
to be run.
M. Jacques Faure, hero of several
sensational cross Channel balloon
trips and other long distance flights,
seen by a Herald correspondent con
cerning the Wrights, said he had
never from the commencement had
the slightest confidence in the state
ments made concerning their long
distance flights. Missions had been
sent over from France to investigate
the statements made, and had re
turned with a verdict of "Not proven."

Alum.
Alum is soluble In water, and is
used in laundry work to render cur
tains, children's dresses, pinafores
and muslin hangings non-inflammable,
and is usually added to the rinsing
water, proportions, one pint of water
to two ounces of alum.
A Dish Washing Hint
In washing vessels which have
been used to prepare eggs in any way
or to hold batter of any kind or dough,
always allow a cold water spigot to
run upon them first.
Hot water cooks the eggs and stif
fens the floury pastes, making it
doubly difficult to clean the pot, pan
or kettle in question.
Turpentine for the Laundry.
Turpentine ts volatile in nature and
has the power of dissolving varnish
and grease.
It Is used In laundry work In con
Junction with ammonia to remove
paint stains from colored clothes.
The two liquids are mixed and the
stain dipped in and rubbed nntil it
disappears. It Is also used In cold
water starch to make the iron pass
along the fabrlck smoothly; pro
portions, four drops to one tablespoon
ful of starch.
The disadvantages attending the
use of a large proportion are its odor,
wisici it Imparts to the linen, and it
also tends to make the starch slightly
yellow, which might give a yellow tint
to the linen.
Pretty Boxes.
Fancy boxes are always in demand
for all sorts of offerings, and the new
est wrinkle Is to cover them with
satin ' and to decorate the top with
a bunch of natural looking artificial
flowers, Instead of those that are em
broidered or painted. The box shown
is ot purple satin with a bunch of
violets on the top, and others equally
pretty are blue satin with forget-me
not, various shades of lavender with
orchids and pink or red with roses to
correspond.
In the fancy work department of
one of the large shops there are the
prettiest kind ot little pincushions
made of tea strainers with, twisted
handles. The bowl portion Is padded
and covered with a bit of Dresden
ribbon. A fetching little frill Is
placed around It and a bow ot ribbon
is tied on the handle.
Benzine in Laundry Work.
Benzine is chiefly employed in the
laundry for the cleansing of clothes
that cannot be successfully treated
with soap and water.
For example, silk garments, which
lose their gloss when washed, if
cleansed with benzine retain the
natural gloss and stiffness.
Silk laces, kid gloves, and furs,
none of which can be successfully
washed, are all cleaned with benzine.
The articles are usually washed in
a bath of benzine, the articles are
squeezed and pressed, and the dirtiest
parts brushed with a soft brush,
which is better than rubbing.
They are then rinsed in clean ben
zine, wrung, and rolled lightly in a
clean cloth to remove the benzine,
then hung in the air to dry until the
spirit is evaporated and the smell re
moved. The silk and lace are then pressed
with a hot iron.
Kid gloves, if white, are Improved

DISTRIBUTING CENTRES.
Cities From AVhich the Great Volume
of Printed Matter is Sent Out.
A striking example ot the great
volume ot printed matter which the
Postofflce Department is called upon
to handle from month to month Is
found In a report recently Issued by
the department.
Ot printed matter, designed for
general distribution, 28,000,000
pounds were shipped In one month
last year by publishers at the rate ot
a cent a pound at the 100 largest
postoffices In the United States, the
total amount of such shipments hav
ing Increased from 296,000,000
pounds in 1896 to 450,000,000 in
1900.
These shipments of printed mat
ter, collected and transmitted by the
Postofflce Department, constitute a
very fair guage ot the distributing
points of news and literature In the
United States, and the relation which
they bear to each other is peculiar
and has little reference to popula
tion. New York stands at the head with
more than twenty-five per cent of
the whole shipments of the country.
Chicago follows with about two-thirds
of the shipments of New York. Then
follow St. Louis, Philadelphia and
Boston, in the order named, Boston's
shipments seeming unduly low, and
then Kansas City, Cincinnati and
Augusta, Me., the shipments of Au

and Milwaukee follow all of them
minor but populous cities and then
come Springfield, Ohio, and Elgin,
