TO FLY THROUGH THE AIR. Practice is Needed to Make Aerial Nav- igation Practicable. Suggestions for a Flying School— The Advantages of a Cap- tine Balloo! Written for The Evening Star. Some little time ago in the columns of The Evening Star I noticed an article on a form of aerial navigation. I am much interested in the subject and have been so for years. While in Chicago at the world’s congress of aerial navigation I heard a paper read by an old friend of mine. The ideas em- bodied therein seem to me to be about the most practical approach to all forms of aerial navigation yet contemplated. Mr. Charles E. Duryea, formerly of Wash- ington, now of Peoria, Ill., is the gentleman in question. He is a well-known expert in cycling mechanics, and to him is due the idea of the following form of a “flying school.” In the paper above mentioned he says: “There need be no longer a question as to our having within our reach all the necessary mechanical features required for . a a! ~~ > sit. thas nis The School. fight. We can build machines light enough, equip them with motors powerful enough, and can safely say that they will fly if properly directed. “The proper way to solve this question is to build a machine and use it. Use, and use alone, can fully show its good and bad features and point out the way to properly remedy them. * * * Suppose, for an in- stant, that we had the most perfect flying machine of the next century right here be- fore us. Could we use it? No. It would be as useless to us as our crudest experiment of today. We would succeed in breaking it, and, in all probability, our necks with it at the first trial. But if we had such a machine what would be our first duty toward it? Simply to learn to use it.” All around us we see pursuits requiring various degrees of skill to properly follow them, and among them is one, cycle riding, which calls for skill very similar to that required for flying. The expert can ride a single wheel where he choses, even up or down a flight of steps. Practice and practice alone enables him to do this. I cannot believe that the fly- ing machine will prove as difficult as the single wheel, nor do I see why it should be more difficult than the two wheeled vehicle @icycle) now so common. Those who have attempted (flying) have failed with disaster to themselves and to the machine, before they had acquired skill enough to properly manage their creation. We contemplate powerful motors as nec- essary to drive us through the air at a rate that will cause the air to support us, while the gull and the buzzard by their skill take advantage of the air curents and soar for hours without any appreciable work at all. It is skill rather than the motor that we need. This is the one thing lacking and to this we should direct our attention. Just would-be riders and swimmers go to schools for their instruc- tion, so we must go to a flying school for ours. The first rider had to take his falls as best he could, the first swimmer avoided deep water until he learned enough to ven- ture safely; in this respect they were on terra firma and had an advantage over the would-be flyer. If it were not so we should in_all probability have no swimmers or riders. The flyer must make his first at- tempt in mid air, and as this is suicidal without protection of some kind, he must be provided with a flying school. In other words the key to flying is the “Flying Sel .' I would suggest the use of a captive bal- loon held by several widely divergent guy ropes, and, preferably, over a body of water, so there would. be fewer gusts to the air currents and a possible fall would not be so risky. From this balloon, by a single rope, suspend the machine and rider, so that they would be as free to swing as a plum bob. If the machine is provided with a propeller ind a means of guiding it the rider can ractice in circles and figure eights until he is thoroughly familiar with every detail of the machine and until he manages it almost instinctively. If he finds defects in the de- The Fiyer. sign or construction they are not even dan- gerous, but can be remedied at once and the result noted. A spring scale set in the sus- pending rope would show at a glance what the rider is doing toward sustalning himself and whether any change improves the re- it or not. There is no guesswork about it, and positive progress may be relied upon. A different rider may try his ability as fast as the one practicing gets tired, and notes and experiences can be compared. Improve the machine as seems best and continue the experiments with those riders who are most apt and a short while will find them going it_alone. e This device (captive balloon) is superior to others in many respects. It gives the be- ginner ample room to swing around in, and room is an absolute necessity. move at good speed, if he is to fly at all, and he requires time to think how to act until action becomes a sort of second na- ture. The atmospheric conditions are better up high, because we thus avoid the gusts and eddies at the surface of the earth. Any cycle teacher can tell you how greatly the effort of teaching is increased if the surface of the yard is in poor shape. Bad condi- tions will be much more detrimental in the air, because the rider can see beforehand the rough places in the ground, but the flyer cannot in the air. A captive balloon would cost probably $100 each ascension, which would give sev- eral persons one or more short lessons each. On this basis a thousand dollars might suf- fice to secure actual flight. On the other hand, if many changes should be found nec- essary in the machine, and a motor prove necessary, five or ten times that amount might be required. It matters not, however, if twice ten thousand dollars he required. The solution of the problem is worth many times that amount. Years ago I talked the matter over with Mr. Duryea, and though my attention and time have been otherwise engaged, I have jost none of my interest in the subject. Of late I have been taking into serious thought the trial of Mr. Duryea’s plan for a fiying school, and should be glad to be put in communication with any one who is inter- ested in the same direction. I believe that flying will be an accom- plished fact in the near future, that it is as Mr. Duryea thinks, merely a matter of ac- quiring the skill by practice, and 1 am extremely desirous of hastening the day by the practical trial of Mr. Duryea’s fly- Ing school. A®rial navigation is looked up- on by the general public as a subject han- died and dwelt upon and dreamed about by “cranks.” It is time that such an idea should be eliminated from bay ici od inind.

Forty Men Scraped in Fifteen Minutes Fifteen Seconds. From the Pall Mall Gazette. It was the first night of the shaving con- tets between “Teddy” Wick of Chelsea, and William Lioyd of Fulham, and strong hopes were entertained by the spectators that the contest would not be a bloodless one. The curtain of the imperial theater in the aqua- rium was down, and as the spectators filed into their seats the men turned up the col- lars of their coats and the women shivered. The referee, a short and round-bodied gen- tleman, looked grave but calm. “The con- test,” he said to “The Pall Mall” represen- tative, taking the bluish-white articles of agreement from the inside pocket of his coat, “is fo> £25 a side and the champion- ship. Lloyd is the challenger, and I under- stand that if Lloyd is defeated Wick will go to America to meet all comers in a tonsorial combat. The referee is to be the sole judge of points, and there is but one stipulation in the articles of agreement—namely, that I shall rake a difference between cuts azising from inefficiency and those which may be due to inequalities of the surface. It is time for the show to begin, and I must take my place.” The referee climbed the steps leading to the stage, shoved the curtain to one side, and was lost to view. ‘The occupants of the back seats and of the gallery began to stamp their feet by way of informing the management that the proper time had arrived for the unveiling of the stage. The signal was given and the cur- tain was raised. The spectators looked upon a row of ten barbers’ chairs. Behind these, at a small table, sat the referee. At his right hand, on the table, was a stop watch, In front of him was some paper. He was busily engaged in writing. The oc- cupants of the back seats and the gallery applauded, but to the applause the referee paid no attention, evidently believing that he was entitled to it. ‘The applause having come to an end, the referee stepped to the footlights,which were on a vacation, and read the articles of agreement, finishing with the hope that the best man might win. As the spectators had heard this before at prize, dog and perhaps cock fights, they applauded. The referee said that the men were to shave against each other for an hour each night until De- cember 18, by which time, in his opinion, the question of superiority would be estab- lished beyond the ghost of a doubt. The referee retired and sat down at his table. ‘Then the orchestra, consisting of a pianist, fell to. The strains were low and mourn- ful—the’sort of music that is supposed to denote the immediate proximity of the vil- lain and the extreme peril of the heroine. ‘There was a tramp of many feet, and a body of fifty or sixty men mafched in in an irregular manner npon the stage. They formed a semi-circle behind the referee, and almost filled such parts of the stage as were not ocupied by the Tyrolese alps, the referee's table and the referee, and ten bar- bers’ chairs. Suddenly the orchestra burst forth into a livelier air, and Mr. Wick and Mr. Liyod strode upon the stage. To be perfectly accurate,Mr. Lloyd strode and Mr. Wick tripped. The champion, as Mr. Wick describes himself, is rather short, but not all pursy. His cheeks are as smooth a marbie-topped table, and upon his uppe> lip is that brand of mustache which only patience, perseverance, time and brilliantine can develop into that condition of robust- ness which would withstand a single tug. To deface its contour by an absent-minded chew would be impossible. Mr. Wick was supple in his movements, and displayed nothing that could be said to approach ne-- vousness. Mr. Lioyd is much taller and stronger looking than his adversary. If the men were to each other, armed | with axes, no sane person would back Mr. Wick. The latter's opponent wears no hair upon his face, though he looks as if, were it in the interest of his occupation, he could raise both whiskers, beard and mustache. He did not seem so much at home under the public gaze as his opponent. Both men were clad in large white aprons. Accompa-| nying them were ten young men, who were | also clad in white aprons. They carried | towels, soap, soap boxes and shaving brush- | es. Half of the contingent were to act as latherers for M>. Wick, the other half for Mr. Lloyd. The two principals looked at the row of chairs and said they were too close | together. Two rows were made of the chairs. The army of victims looked at the chairs, the assistants, the principals, the spectators and at each other. Some of them grinned, but most of them preserved a grave de- meanor, as if they thoroughly understood | the gravity of their situation. All of the! victims were young. None of them seemed to have passed the thirtieth milestone, while the cheeks of not a few had seldom | been caressed by a razor. It afterward transpized that most of the men were cus- tomers of the combatants, and were just as! deeply interested as the latter in the result. Suddenly one of the latherers shouted, ‘Now, step up, gents.” The chairs were instantly filled. Towels were thrust under the chins of the first ten, and they were well and truly lathered, the ten were. “Go!” shouted the referee in a tone devoid of a single tremor. Two razors were flou- rished aloft. Each descended upon the left cheek $f a victim. The orchestra dashed intéga theme that breathed flame and| slau@nter. The spectators stamped. their feet upon the floor, and the battle raged with unexampled ferocity. demonstrated that his touch was the more delicate, and the rapidity of his movements | threw his admirers into spasms of enthu-| siasm. Lioyd was more deliberate, and! showed that he possessed a down-cut that! was certain to save time if there were no, protuberances in the way. Wick finished | his first man while Lloyd was scraping the chin of his. Wick sprang to the next chair and attacked his second subject with a celerity that promised gore. No gore flew, | however. Liyod shaved his third man in| thirty seconds. Wick polished off his fifth in fifteen seconds, but the cheeks of the subject were downy. The moment a man was shaved he’ was told to leave the chair, and lose no time about it. The towel that had rested upon his chest was taken away, and another was th-ust into his hand. With the latter he was expected to wipe the soap away. No water was used. One man objected to wiping his face with a towel, | and used a handkerchief. Another looked | at the towel suspiciously as if he had never | seen one before, and was walking away with his soap-decorated face when it was wiped for him. “One down another comes | on,” was the word. The contestants | scraped at top speed for ten minutes, and | were never kept waiting. The orchestra did | not stop to take breath. Several of the. spectators mounted the stage, and excite- ment was running high, when the referee called “Halt!” The contestants held their —— . ‘he referee came to the front and sai that Mr. Wick had more men than mg Lioyd, and that uniess both men had supply there could be no contest. The spec- tators said, “Hear! hear!” and the referee | added, “I move that the men who are here! to be shaved be divided evenly.” This was) carried by the spectators. Mr. Wick said he was satisfied, and the battle was renew- ed. The pianist pulled himself together and | thumped out a warlike strain. Both men worked with terrific earnestness, and the! stock of subjects was getting low, when a. latherer shouted: “Any lady or gen- want a shave?” To this uppeal there was no/ response, and there being n» more men to! shave the referee said that the contest was | ended for the evening. The contestants, he said, had been shaving for fifteen minutes | and fifteen seconds. In tnat time Mr. Wick | had shaved forty and Mr. “ioy’ thirty-one men.

A well-known newspaper correspondent who has made his in this city To several years, writ to The Star as fol- lows: “What's in a name?” That depends on conditions. The city that has become the most beautiful capital in the world is named after our most distinguished warrior and patriot. The federal district is named in honor of the great navigator of the western seas who discovered this new world. The federal Union itself borrowed a name al- ready rendered luminous with republican glory by the heroic Dutch and became the United States of America. The great thor- oughfare, destined to be the finest in the World, is appropriately named after the then greatest of the states. All these names are both historic and significant. They mean much. It might have answered + the federal district, B; the capital city, C, and Penasylvania avenue, D. Even less strain on the memory would have been occasioned by giving them designa- tions that hinted at the apothecary shop, like No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4. In one of the speculative books that dream of Utopia the author tells of a country every human being was known by a ber, which he or she wore, like Cain, ed on the forehead. But who would civilization where individuality was so ly lost and the people were enumerated in- stead of named? These reflections are occasioned by a con- sideration of the homely street nomencla- ture of Washington. L’Enfant’s dream of beauty has become a living reality. The city has emerged from its morasses, its shrines are built and its temples born. The devoted French engineer was prophetic in his plan of the capital city, and to him we til agination only, should be named for the states in the Union. the commonwealths. We have the squares and circles named after famous American soldiers and statesmen, which gives us interesting and attractive local geography. These names mean something. They are historic, significant and appropriate for the national! capital. failure of memory. L’Enfant’s grass-grown grave is unmarked by memorial stone, but his name is enshrined in national affection for his beautification of the capital. The in- ventor of the A, B, C and one, two, three system hus been forgotten, as he deserves to be. 1t is fortunate that he dia his plan to its logical conclusion nate the great avenues by 4, UM, ML, IV, V, &e., and circles after the twelve months The only argument that is use of the alphabet (which than the numbers) is its alleged ¢. Even were its convenience granted sake of argument, it would not apply city as distinctly uncommercial as W; ington, however appropriate it might to be for a business metropolis. In of the larger cities of the country the of numerical names has been adopted advantage, but the dismal alphabet believe, not been recited in any other in the Union. Even Chicago named great central thoroughfares after the early Presidents, and New York did not fall back on numbers until her march up Manhattan Island was well begun. The original alphabet-street maker con- siderately left out J street (which would have had a wild, western meaning too per- sonal to be enjoyed). But the growth of the city has rendered it necessary to pro- = it is — to predict the in- ite exten: of the picturesque names, even if Washington should overfiow into Baltimore and Kichmond.

The alphabetical streets could be ramed likewise, after great streams that course through our mighty empire, or large cities that dot its wide area, or after great statesmen, soldiers or poets who have hon- ored the American name. Names of Presidents. The numerical streets are not yet thor- oughly grafted on the District map beyona Rock creek. There have been twenty-three different Presidents. ‘These numbered streew could each be made to represent the progress of the republic “through one administra- tion.” There are just twenty-three numbered streets northwest to the borders of ancient Georgetown. In no other quarter do the numbered streets run so high. It would be a simple lesson in the presidential succession if Ist became Washington street, 2d be- came John Adams street and 3d Jefferson street, and so on through Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, William Henry Harrison,, Tyler, Polk, Tay- lor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Johnson, Grant and all the other Presidents to Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harri- son. The occasiona! half streets might be furnished names from the Vice Presidents who served under the Presidents for whom the preceding street was named. This is far enough to carry speculation about the matter. There could probably be suggestions made that would furnish more significant and appropriate names for “the streets of the greatest capital on the earth. None could be made that would give them uglier names than they now bear. There is not a citizen of Washington who would not be glad to be moved from off a lettered or numbered street by so simple process. A street by any other name would sound sweeter. And every man would will- ingly spare his arithmetic. Washington's bustling business hive, 7th street, would feel added dignity as Jackson street. ‘The Evening Star could itself move witn- out disadvantage to the corner of Polk street and Pennsylvania avenue. The alpha- bet and the abacus could be dispensed with in naming Washington streets, and it can be predicted with confidence that they would be “unwept, unhonored and unsung.
