Defects Have Been Removed and Machine Is in Periec: Order. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5—The big sixty-foot aerodrome of Professor Sam- uel H. Langley, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, which was un- successfully launched several months ago, was prepared for another experi- ment to-day, but unfavorable wind con- ditions prevented the test. The ma- chine has been put into perfect order and is ready to be holsted onto the su- perstructure for another trial at the first opportunity, possibly Monday. No attempt will be made to hoist the ma- chine into position unless the wind is less than twelve miles an hour, in or- der to avold possible danger to the men engaged in the work, who might be swept into the stream thereby. F. M. Monley, Professor Langley's chief as- sistant in the flying machine re- searches, and who has been actively directing the plans and preparations, was aboard the houseboat all day with his force of mechanics, and Thomas W. Smith, the official photographer of the Smithsonfan Institute, has his rapid- fire camera prepared to make the offi- clal photographic records of the flight. Professor Manley made observations of the wind velocity a number of times during the day, but at no time did conditions warrant an attempt at fly- ing. Manley left the boat after 4 o'clock this afternoon, merely saying that it had been impracticable to at- tempt the launching and that he could not with any certainty predict when the aerodrome would be given another test. there has been no change whatever either in the motor, the launching mechanism or any other part of the flying machine apparatus. Professor Langley said that the time of the next attempt now hinges on wind condi- tions. He said that it might not be possible this season and yet it might be found practicable in the next few days. He credited the trouble with the last experiment to a metallic projection in the launching track, and explained that that obstacle had been moved. He said it was not likely that experiments would be undertaken again at Wide- water, where the wind proved so unfavorable. The experiment will be made in all probability off the Government arsenal grounds in this city, at the confluence of the Potomac River and its eastern branch, which offers a broad sweep for 2000 CRUSER 5 DES MOINES New Warship Exceeds the Contract Speed on Trial Trip. BOSTON, Dec. 5.—In her official trial over the Cape Ann course to-day the new cruiser Des Moines exceeded her contract requiremnts of 16.5 knots an , hour, making an average of 16.633 knots per hour. It is thought that the tidal corrections will not materially change these figures. Next to speed the noticeable feature of the trial was the remarkable steadi- ness of the ship. The conditions of the trial were favorable on the whole. The sea was moderately smooth and the wind, which struck the warship abeam on the north and almost ahead on the run home, served to make good draught for the bollers. On tie other hand, the atmosphere was hazy during the greater part of the run so the stake boats could not be made out with any great certainty. The northerly run was covered in three secopds over two hours, a speed of 16.49 knots, or one-one-hundredth of a knot under the contract. It was on the run back that the Des Moines showed her true worth. One by one the number of the revolutions of her engines were increased until on the second leg they reached 191 per minute. The machinery worked in fine form and a speed of 16,77 was attained on the return. J ————————— YOUNG ARTIST DIES BY ASPHYXTATION cidental Death by Gas in New York. NEW YORK, Dec. 5—Virginia L.
