felephone Inventor Announces Through ~ "Tne World that He Has in New Plane Overcome Difficulty in Building of Apparatus That Will Enable Man to Fly. Machine Inventor of Alexander Graham Bell, F the Bell telophono, whose assertion that has accomplished a thing Is accepted © without question by the scientific world, Mekes through The World to-day the P exclusive announcement that he has “eompleted the first essential step toward the solution of the aerial navigation _ Problem. "Prof. Bell 1s opposed to airships of E the balloon type like those of Santos- Dumont. He claims that any mechan!

Birds and all llv- Creatures that fly are heavier than Ce therefore have perfect control Sof their movements. With that {dea pymind he went to work on the prob- Of aerial navigation. Just how et he has gone he tells: WASHINGTON, D, C., Dec. the Editor of The World; “The newspapers have been premature By messnouncing that I have been at work a fying machine.

E PROBLEM. USUAL BLOCK ONL? ROAD. “The West Side Side Ling South of | Eighth Street, Tied Up by a | Derailed Car Early This PASSENGERS | | The now daily blockade of the Man- shattan “I" occurred at 6 o'clock this morning and lasted for fifty-five min- utes. In that time southbound trains ran only as far as Eighth street, where grumbling passengers were compelled to allght and take the surface cars to thetr places of business further down- town, Meanwhile no uptown trains were run between South Ferry and Elghth street, Tho block was caused by the derail- ment of the Collector's car while round- Ing the curve from West Broadway {nto Murray street. ‘The Collector's train, which takes up the night receipts, usually consists of an 6ngine and tr er, but to-day a single electric car was used, It was evidently too light to take the curve at full speed, and as {t went about a loud explosion was heard on | the third rail, ‘The car was lifted In the jair and fell half way across the track, blocking both the up and down tracks. Collector Nixon and his two assist- ;Ants scrambled out and walked back to Chambers street station, where the wrecking crew was summoned from Rector street. The blockade signal was also sent out to all stations, notifying agents not to sell tickets through to South Ferry until the tracks were lcleared, It took the wreckers almost an hour to jack the displaced car back on the rails and open the system for traffic. “ALL OUT.” NOTED GEOLOGIST IS DEAD.
