HE cruiser Pennsylvania anchored yesterday In man owar row In readlneaa for the attempt which will be made by Eugene Ely to fly from the land to the deck 6t the vessel A large platform extending from the after turret back over thestern of tho vessel has been constructed and will be used as a landing for the aviator who haa taken It upon himself to demonstrate the practicability of the aeroplane aa a means of communication between the land and ships at sea The platform is thirty feet wide and 130 feet long and haa an Incline of twelve feet at the stern of the vessel According to the managers of the aviation meet Ely will attempt to leave Selfrldge Field and make a landing on the Pennsylvania while the vessel la at sea Ely attracted the attention of the world a few months ago when he made a flight from the battle ship Birmingham off Hampton roads to the mainland A platform similar to the one on tha Pennsylvania was used at that time Following the event the Navy De partment became Interested and Secretary Meyer recommended to Congress that an appropriation for an aeroplane division of the Navy be made The matter Is still under discussion At the same time the Secretary expressed a destrs that some aviator attempt to land on a vessel The opportunity has arisen and the members of the citlsens committee have secured the co operation of the naval officials for the trial Ensign Roy Le Claire Stover aid to Rear AdmiralAdmiral Edward Barry has been detailed to make the arrangements for the flight and a number of naval offlcera have been appointed to observe the flight and report to Secretary Meyer Lieutenant McClasky of the United States Marine Corps went to Loe Angeles and made the preliminary arrangements with Ely and Glenn Curtlss The flight will take place some day this week the exact time to be announced later Ely has been asked repeatedly whether he thought that his experiment would prove a success and Invariably haa answered I wouldnt undertake It If I did not think I could do It On 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 1 1 1 Gossip Heard in and Around the Hangars THERE were of course the usual number of persons hangara filled with a raaaa of valuable Information A around the vhlch hey were anxious to Impart to any and everybody One young mlas asked her escort what was the difference between a Wright and a Curtlss machine Its Just this way said he In the Wright machine the hangar la rigid while In the Curtlss model It Is flexible There are aome minor differences but that la the main one But what le the hangar was the next question The hangar Why thats that business In front And he pointed to the forward planes of the Curtlsr machine With this hie companion was content and they proceeded to the next shed where he gave some more equally reliable Information regarding the BlerloL The bromide remark of the meet Is always made when the Blerlot or Antoinette machines leave the ground Every other person says It It la as follows Why Its Just like a big dragonfly The next one la Thats the first machine that really looks like a bird Then comes the last one I wonder what the birds think when they see that big thing up there among themT It la not generally known that Olenn Curtlas is donating his services to the meet free of charge His contract does not call for him to make a single flight but yesterday he announced his Intention of attempting several records during the meet Today he will endeavor to break his Own record for speed In his racer He believes that he can get a great burst of speed from his racing machine If weather conditions are favorable and ha will at least make the attempt It seems strange to hear aviators asking for rain but that was heard around the hangars yesterday When asked the meaning of the wish for wet weather one of them said We dont want wet weather while we are flying but an Ideal day would be a fine one following a short spell of rain If we had rain tonight for Instance the condition would be perfect tomorrow The rain would give a density to the atmosphere which would be Just the thing we need for what we term a good grip on the air Still we have no fault to find with San Franciscos climate and If the present conditions continue we shall be perfectly satisfied Aviator Eugene Ely who Is to fly from the battle ship Pennsylvania to the aviation field made a trip to Mane Island Saturday for the purpose of Inspecting the platform which Is being erected on the vessel tor his accommodation He again said that he waa satisfied he would perform the projected feat without any trouble The platform Is thirty feet wide and 110 feet long and according to Ely gives ample room for his ascent from the ship and his subsequent descent on his return trip Ensign Roy Lerlalre Stover aid to Admiral Berry Is anxious to take the trip with Ely and It is probable that some such arrangement will be made for the trip from or to the vessel Ensign Ellyson was one of the Interested observers of the doings around the hangars Ellyson has been detailed to act under the Instructions of Aviator Olenn Curtlss and will accompany the blrdtnan to San Diego after this meet where a number of experiments will be made for the Navy The Ensign will receive Instructions from Curtlss and will be fully taught in all branches of aeronautics The Antoinette monoplane developed a streak of bashfulness yesterday and a canvas curtain hid her from the gaze of the multitude Latham her owner said that this was done because the Interest of the publlo had been so arouwed by his performance of the previous day that he was besieged with questioners and would be congratulators and he had to take some means of self protection so that his mechanicians could work unobstructed Daring of Aviators Shown in Flights AFTER all the crowd wa the real show Tho mar velous flying In the face of bad wind conditions waa secondary Think of It nearly 100000 humans wild with enthusiasm In one orderly mass We were prepared for 75000 persons This vast gathering taxed every resource Which could be brought to bear Glenn Curtlas says It was the greatest audience that ever attended an aviation meet Roy Km benshue says Tou have made a new altitude record tor attendance Radley says I never saw anything Ilka It Latham comments San Francisco Is beyond question the worlds greatest show town Every aviator who went up today took hla life In his hands ttie wind was fraaky There were thrills a plenty to thoae who knew The spectacular events must await better wind conditions Monday should furnish plenty of excitement SCOTFORD President of Aviation Meet Danger lurked In every wind puff at Selfrldge Field today Tho result spelled delay for the military experiments There can be no bomb dropping or wireless experiments when aviators have t6 strain every nerve to prevent capslxlna In the cross and contrsry winds Radley and Latham had slight accidents which would have been serious had these men been less expert aa man birds but they will be ready for flyltg today The experiments will proceed Just as soon aa wind conditions will permit LIEUTENANT PAUL BECK Secretary of Meet 0 AVPS1BMP i PARIS GOSSPS 1

thing to be perfect flyer What Is that he was uked To be able to leave the ground was the reply Dick Ferris waa one of the visitors at the hangars yesterday He arrived with a recipe for what he called an aviation cocktail It la mixed as follows Whiskey a dash of Italian vermouth bitters and a drop A drop of what Dick asked a friend Any old drop suits an aviator so long as It Is on a soft spot was the reply MMMMMMMMMMMMM4MMMMMMlMMMf AEROPLANE ATTACK United States Troops Do Fast Work in Turning Out for an Imaginary Enemy The 100000 spectators at Selfrldge field were given an Idea of the possi bilities of the aeroplane In the warfare of the future yesterday when the men of Major ONells battalion of the Thirtieth Infantry were called upon to repulse a simulated attack by aeroplanes on their camp while the experiments on account of the freakish air currents proved of not much value from the standpoint of aeronautics the Government troops gave a good Idea nt how they aro prepared for emergencies by their quickness in responding to the call to arms which was sounded when the air scouts appeared in the vicinity Parma lee and Brooklns of the Wright team of aviators took their machines for a long flight toward the foothills and after maneuvering In the upper currents awooped down In a long glide toward the camp of the Infantrymen with the evident Intention of dropping explosives and getting away before the soldiers had recovered ffom their surprise The troops were well prepared and within thirty seconds after the first note of the bugle sounding the alaim were In the field and firing the first volley Three companies were thrown out to protect the front and flanks of the camp hlle a fourth taking advantage of the deep swale which guarded the rear of the camp poured an imaginary raking fire across the planes of the attacking craft Blank ammunition was uaed and from the standpoint of the spectators the event was most spectacular Later in the week if the upper atmosphere is not too much disturbed by the contrary winds the experiment which It was Intended to perform yesterday will take place viz that of dropping explosive bombs on to a company of silhouettes which will flank the camp MACHINIST INJURED WHILE WATCHING AIRSHIPS FLY Stands on Bank Which Gives Way and Precipitates Him to the Bottom Severely Braised A singular accident befell

Imputation of neclecC Flleux was the mechanic who made the Parts London flight with Molsant and In a latter to a New York newspaper man received here tonight Oar roe writes for his fellow aviator supplementing the statement to the preaa in part as follows An Incrimination of carelessness causing death Is a profssslonal dishonor for tnoss boys who are known In France among the best men who ever worked on aviation fields What was printed about them made them cry when they talked to us about It They deserve nothing but pralss for the way they prepared Molsants ma ohlne ependlng whole days at a

White the British aviator will withdraw his protest against the award to Molsant of Thomas Ryans 10000 prise for the Statue of Liberty flight A hearing on the protest Is to come before the Federation Aeronautic Internationale In Paris the day after tomorrow but It had been thought that In view of Molsants unfortunate death at New Orleans the protest might be withdrawn No word of any such Intention having been received at the eleventh hour the Aero Club gave out tonight an Informal resume of its position and of the brief which It will submit to the International arbitrators In a word the club believes It was perfectly Justified In awarding the prize to Molsant at tha close of the International meet here snd It will fight to the end for his memory and estate and for the good name of American sport Briefly Orahame Whltea original protest to the Aero Club of Amertca was baaed on the fact that he was not allowed to make a second trial against Molsants better time but the protest now flled In his behalf by the Royal Aero Club of England takes another ground The Royal Aero Club holds the original requirements for Qualification provided that no entry for the Statue of Liberty flight

years that animal life has been ln existence on Venus and that the surface of tha planet is composed principally of steaming swamps whlcn abound with reptile creatures of antediluvian periods Tho professor has certain theories on geographical proclivities on the moon also but does not care to discuss them Concerning Vernus Professor Pickering says Certainly there are many physical reasons for
