SEVEN. THE MANSFIELD NEWS. WEDNESOAY, MARCH 7, 1908. SAYS AEROPLANE PROBLEM IS SOLVED antColum LETTER TO MOTHERS. All Mansfield Women Should Be Interested In, This Letter.

About Oct. 1 they had finally got their motor In such shape as to Insure good, long flights. Previous to that time flights of 10, 11 and 12 miles had been made.

On Oct. 8 16 miles had been made, Oct 4 21 miles, and Oct. 5, the record was 2i4 miles, and the flight only ceased because the supply of gasoline gave out. In this flight the older brother operated the machlnle. They take "turn about" in this part of the work, Mr.

i Wright weighs 145 pounds, and an additional weight of iron, 50 pounds, was lashed to the prow. The great bird-like machine rushed around the circle twenty-nine times, and the time was 38 minutes. At times the speed, with the favoring wind, was fully a mile a minute. No wonder that some of the more mercurial spectators grew wlldwlth excitement as it rushed by, for you must remember that all the time the machine was not over CO feet from the earth, that average height, just clearing the tree tops, being held. Only in turning the more abrupt corners, so to speak, was the height increased.

Mr. Wright tells me he has flown a distance of four miles and held the machine so near the earth that the greatest height was not to exceed ten feet. This would show absolute control In a vertical plane. For obvious reasons they kept their experiments as secret as possible. The car on the electric line ran every thirty minutes, and so as not to attract attention they have timed, their flights between the runs, and have been very successful in avoiding, observation.

The farmers living nearby are the only ones who have had the opportunities of watching the experiments, and after two years of such experiments had lost what little interest they bad In them. Mr, D. Beard lives across the Springfield road from the experimental field and to him Mr. Wright first took me. I found him an intelligent man of about sixty.

He told me of the work which bad gone on under the eye for so long a time, and assured me absolutely there was no question as to the flights. He had often observed them, and particularly knew of the series ending Oct 5 of this year. We next called on farmer Btauffer, living half a mile farther up the road. He was a typical American farmer, with Jolly face and voluble. He rents the farm which Includes the field where the flights are made: On Oct 5 he was cutting corn in the next field east and which is higher ground.

When he noticed the aeroplane had started on its flight he remarked to his helper: "Well, the boys are at it again," and A flying machine which hag been Invented by the Wright brot hers, Orvllle and Wilbur, of Dayton, .18 attracting much attention in Europe, especially In France, it being stated that the French government has arranged with the inventors to secure the right to use it in the balloon corps of the French army, for which It has agreed to pay the sum in one minion irapcs, or fzuu.vuv, tuiu hat as an evidence of good faith, a deposit has already been made with a New York banking c6mpany of a portion of the amoliut. In an issue of the Farts edition of the New York. Herald of Jan. 1, an extended article appeared, a large por-tlon of which was a letter from H. M.

Weaver, of this city, to Frank 8. 1-ahm, of Paris, which was written after Mr. Weaver had gone to Dayton and interviewed the Wright brothers. Since the appearance of the article in the Herald It has been translated into French and German and has been reproduced in full in the 1 Aerophile of Paris and the Wiener Luftschiffer-Zeltung of Vienna. The article has not yet appeared in print in the United States and it is of such general interest that it is" herewith reproduced in 'full.

A letter has Just been received 'in Paris by Mr. Frank 8. Lahm, a member of the Aero-Club and one of the senior pilots of that organization, which apparently answers affirmatively the question whether or not the problem of aerial flight in a "heavier than air" machine has been solved by the Wright Brothers, of Dayton, Ohio. A traimlatlnn nf thin letter was read Ity Mr, I.ahm on Saturday before the technical commute of the Aero-Club and created profound Interest. There are members of this highly scientific committee now fuly persuaded that the long-sought-for has been attained.

In order to investigate the various stories that had been appearing concerning the two young men in Ohio and their wonderful achievements, Mr. Lahm cabled to a friend of his, a manufacturer of mature years and great experience. His letter, which Mr. I.ahm permits the Herald to publish in full, is as follows: Mansfield, Ohio, Dec. 1905.

My Dear December 1 I was at Chicago stopping at the Grand Pacific, and after a tedious day's work had retired early. Just as I was about falling asleep my room telephone rang, and on Inquiry learned that a telegram would be sent me, and soon it was delivered to me. It was a imzzle "Verify what Wright Brothers claim, necessary go Dayton, prompt response cable." I studied it carefully, and as the matter seemed very important, concluded to ask Wright Brothers to explain, fof surely they should understand! So I telegraphed them, retired to the sleep of of the just, and awaited the reply to come the next morning, and when received It no light on the subject. In desperation I telegraphed again: 'Do you know Frank Lahm, of Answer came back: "Yes, Lahm, the French aeronaut." All this time there was dimly con-Rclous iii my mind that I knew somewheresomehow of Wright Brothers. As soon as I saw the word it came to my mind that they must be the ones who some years ago experimented with a "flying machine" in the Carolinas, and I promptly notified them I would be in Daylon the next morning and would they meet me? At 7 o'clock the following day I was there.

I Inquired after a time whether there tv. WANT COLUMN RATE. Twenty words or less three consecutive times or less, 25 cents. One cent each additional word. Cash with the order.

E. church on Uiess-ner avenue has not reposed on a bed or roses in endeavoring to secure and pay for a church home. It has had many trials and tribulations. The present edifice was erected in 1895, at a cost ot 11,000. After Interest and a little principal to the amount of 1365.30 had been paid, the church was unable to meet the balance and the property was taken by a local loan association.

It was la ter re-sold to the congregation for $1,100 on terms of $250 cash and 10 a month on the balance. During the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Powell about $384.75 was paid, leaving a balance, Including interest, of about $800 or $850. The present pastor, the Rev.

A. B. Lee, came here last October and Is devoting himself, with the aid of his "congregation, to lifting or at least reducing this debt, although Illness in his family and the recent death of his wife have hampered in the work. In furtherance of the plan to acquire their church home the pastor and members of the church, feeling that best work can be accomplished among their race by their own fellows and their own church associations, desire to reduce the burden as much as possible to the colored people, who are few in number and in humble circumstances. To assist" in this work they propose a "charity lecture" to be given In this city, April 4.

by Bishop W. B. Derrick, of Flushing, N. a noted orator and minister, who Is bishop of western Pennsylvania, Ohio and Africa, of the A. M.

E. church. He" waa missionary secretary from 1886 to 1896 and has traveled extensively in Europe and by education, ministerial experience and travel has added to his natural qualifications as an orater." The work ot assisting the colored people or Mansfield to pay for their church home is a worthy one and substantial contribution can be made to: the cause by a liberal patronage of the propsed lecture by one who is said to be one ol the greatest orators of his race.

I have felt like a different man since using The above statement was made by Mr. Woodward on August 80, 1908, Mrs. Woodward was Interviewed on July 9th, 1904, and said: "Tims has proved that the eure in Mr. Woodward's case has been permanent, and we believe that every sufferer from kidney trouble should lose no time In procuring Doan's Kidney Pills."

There was none in the directory, and no one seemed to know anything about a "flying machine." I then went to the telegraph office, since 1 knew my message had been delivered and finally discovered the boy who had delivered the telegrams and, through him, their street address. Going back to the hotel, I found Mr.

Orvllle Wright, the younger of the brothers, awaiting me, and about as much puzzled as I had been over what the cable message and my telegrams meant. In a few minutes we both grasped Just what you Wanted, and Mr. Wright promptly told me he would do all he could to satisfy you and me that all he reported as accomplished was the truth and nothing but the truth. His very appearance, though, would disarm any suspicious to the contrary. A young man of about thirty apparently.

Blight of build and with a face more of a noet than inventor or nromoter. 1 In-'contour, head face resemble Edgar Allen Poe. Very modest in alluding to the marvels they have accomplished looking more to the renown and glory that will surely come to them a the solvers of the problem of mechanical fight, than any possible pecuniary reward. He told me that the place they tried their experiments was eight miles away, and" promptly sought a trolley carl and in less than an hour reached the spot. A great field of about ninety acres, flat and level, what we call meadow-land, covered with coarse grass, and hummocky.

Off In the Jiatajice- pearly half a mile away, was a small structure in which was housed the aeroplane during the time of their experimenting. The field was otherwise bare except three trees far to the right, and which marked in a way the limits of their circling flights. During the preceding hour, Mr. Wright had briefly outlined what they bad accomplished, in season of 1905, and which -closed abruptly on Oct. for reasons to be stated later.

During that time they had. made some fifty flights, and the first trials had been of varying success, though with changes and Improvements they were conscious that every week showed an Important gain. By the middle of Sep tember they had completed the machine practically as it was when they closed the season. The frame was. made of larch wood from tip to tip of the wings the dimension was 40 feet.

The gasoline motor, a special construction, made by them, much the same, though, as the motor on the Pope-Toledo automobile, was of from twelve to fifteen horse-power. The motor weighed 240 pounds. The frame was covered with ordinary muslin of good quality. No attempt was made to lighten the machine, they simply built It strong enough to withstand the shocks. The structure stood on skids or runners like a sleigh.

These held the frame high enough from the ground in alighting to protect the blades of the propeller. Complete frith motor, machine weighed 925 pounds. The operator lies face downward in a horizontal position and as close to the frame as possible: Contrary to what would be expected, It is 4 fact that a weight, hanging below the center of gravity, like a pendulum, causes the aeroplane to capsize, hence all weight is concentrated as near as possible iii a common plane much as a bird flying draws Its feet close to its body. No rudder Is used. What may be called a tail extends to the rear, but Is used only to change the direction up or down.

The guiding of the DESSERT JELLY kept on cutting corn, at the same time keeping an eye on the great white form rushing about Its course. "I Just keep on shocking corn," he continued, "until I got down to the fence, and the durned thing was still going round. I thought it never would stop." I asked him how long he thought the flight continued, and he replied it seemed to him ft was in the air for an hour. After this Interview we returned to the city. We called on Mr.

W. C. Foust, druggist, a friend of Mr. Wright. On Invitation Mr: was present at the trial of Oct.

6, and described to me fully the operation of the machine. He timed the duration of the flight and counted the number of times it circled the field. Mr, Foust is a young and enthusiastic man, and, though cautioned by the brothers not to divulge what he had seen, he could not restrain himself and talked about it so effectively that the next day the field was invaded by a crowd of sightseers. The fences were lined by kodak fiends, and reluctantly the Wright brothers were forced to discontinue their work. They took apart their flyer and brought it back to the city.

The practical work of 1905 was ended, I next called at the pleasant home of these discoverers of the "only new thing under the sun." They live very quietly with their father, who is a clergyman. The elder brother, Wilber, I found even quieter and less demon-trative than the He looked the scholar and recluse. Neither is married. As Mr. Wright expressed it, they had not the means to support "a wife and a flying machine, too." Twelve years ago they engaged In manufacturing bicycles, but gradually went out of the business as the craze subsided.

Even as boys they were of an inventive turn of mind, one of their achievements being a printing press, which, on account of Its great novelty, attracted much attention. And, too, at a very early age they commenced to study the problem of mechanical flight. They have made a special study of the laws governing the flight of birds, and have compiled tables of great value relating to wind resistance as -applied to aeroplanes, In this they have discovered many errors in the deductions and laws laid down by those now esteemed authorities. In these matters they have found that Lilienthal was far ahead of those who followed. They have given much thought and time to scientifically construct the best form of motor as to the pitch of the wings, size and it appears to me that they know far more than others in this peculiar field.

My visit was made on Sunday, and for that reason I did not see all the parties who witnessed or knew the work accomplished. I enclose your letters Just received from them, which gives further references. They told me of their correspondence with Captain -i who I tin- derstand is a member of your Aero-Club, and laughed at his assertion that there "was not a mem In all France who believed they had done what they claimed." (Signed) HENRY M. WEAVER. As is already known to Herald readers, the Wright brothers have been working on the question of aerial flight for the past five years.

Their first experiments with aeroplanes unpropelled by motor were carried out at Kitty-hawk, North Carolina. That site was chosen because of the prevalence of a good sea breeze, the presence of barren sand-dunes and the comparative isolation from curiosity hunters. Others who have witnessed their successful flights at Dayton, Ohio, apart from those mentioned In Mr. Weaver's letter. Include ft bank president, an official of the census department in Washington, the director of a local building association and other citizens- of unquestioned veracity.
