FLYING man gets a fall.
Wings Collapse While Practicing at
Brussels.
Lllienthal’s Models Were Birds—His
Machine Had an Engine Run by Car
rie Acid Gas and It Smashed
Thing's on Its Very First Trial.
From the New York World.
A cable despatch from Brussels tells of
an accident to Otto Lilienthal, known as
• The Flying Man*” while practicing last
Sunday with the latest development of
liis Hying machine. While soaring at an
altitude of UOO feet the wings of the ma
chine collapsed and the daring aeronaut
was precipitated to the ground and badly
injured.
Among the more recent attempts to
solve in one form o- another the prob
lem of aerial navigation few have at
tracted as much attention as those of
>lr. l.ilienthal, because he has abandoned
the field of theory for that of practice.
The scientific world has been on the
qui vive awaiting a practical test of Hi
ram S. Maxim’s “aeroplane,” the success
of that remarkable man in other fields of
invention giving one the conviction that
he is reasonably certain of success in any
thing he attempts. There have been
rumors that Kdison has some scheme of
aeral navigation in his storehouse of
thoughts, ready to be given to the public
whenever he so determines. Pennington,
Delprat, Langley and half a dozen others
have had their aerial craft discussed at
length.
HE HAS FLOWN.
Lilienthal has done more. He has
really flown. His success, while only
relative considered from the point of view
of eventual aerial transportation has nev
ertheless had the merit of being an act
ual occurrence, and has obtained a full
share of public interest. Lilienthal's
achievement had the additional interest
of liciug based upon the most sensible of
projects, that of the imitation of the
flight of birds.
It is generally admitted by experts that
ballooning has been not only a digression
but also an obstacle to progress in the art
of flying. While important services, me
teorological and military, have been ren
dered from observations at high alti
tudes. and in submission to high currents
of air, by balloons, these events
have had no bearing upon the question
of navigation, which implies propulsion
under control.
From Leonardo do Vinci, in 1500, to
Otto Lilienthal, in our day, the thinkers
and workers who in their attempts to
be imitators of Daedalus have come
nearest to success in aeronautics are
those who have made a study of the
bird, its mechanism and its motions.
Lilienthal conducted a long series of
experiments before determining the con
struction of his machine. He is a man
of 56, a native of Anklam, a quaint, an
cient little city near the Baltic coast of
the Prussian provice of Pomerania, about
sixty miles to the northwest of Settin.
His mind turned to studies in the* domain
of the birds. He went with a younger
brother to Berlin, where ho established a
large manufactory of small steam en
gines. which is still In active successful
operation. He continued, with the perse
verance of his race, the study of his pet
subject, augmenting his knowledge by
frequent and repeated practical experi
ments.
These he conducted at first with flat
wines or plane surfaces until he became
convinced that it is the gentle parabolic
curve of the wing which enables a bird to
sustain itself without apparent effort in
the air. and even to soar, without a mo
tion of the wings, against the wind, like
the seagull or the albatross. This con
viction. Mr. Lilienthal has stated, he con
siders the most important outcome of his
investigations. In a recent interview Mr.
Lilienthal said, referring to this point:
"It now seems quite easy to explain the
flight of birds, for every' crow that flies
over our heads offers a practical solution
of the riddle. Recent researches into the
law of atmospheric resistance lead clearly
to the deduction that curved or arched
surfaces are to be preferred to flat ones;
but the original discovery' was by no
means as simple and self-evident as it
now appears. There are still prominent
investigators who will not see that the
arched or vaulted wing includes the se
cret of the art of flight.”
The machine devised and used by Mr.
Lilienthal in his successful experiments
is made almost entirely of closely woven
muslin, washed with collodion, to render
it impervious to air, end stretched upon a
fibbed frame of split willow, yv'illovv
was selected after being found to be the
lightest and strongest material for the
purpose. The main parts are a pair of
arched wings, a vertical rudder to which
Mr. Lillientlial has given the shape of a
palm leaf, which acts as the vane of a
wicdmill pipes, keeping the head of the
machine always toward the wind, and a
fiat, horizontal rudder, which serves to
prevent sudden changes of equilibrium.
The apparatus is adjusted to the person
m such a way that when floating in tho
air he will be seated upon a narrow bar
or support near the front.
The Lilienthal theory being that birds
qo not exercise great power in flying, but
keep afloat in the air b.v the particular
way in which their wings catch the air,
there is no flapping of the wings by the
efforts of the operator in this machine. It
is really a sailiug, and not a flying ma
chine.
The apparatus being affixed to his per
son, the operator, with tho wings folded
behind him, takes a short ruu from some
elevated point, running against the wind,
and when he things he has attained ve
locity' enough, he Jumps into the air,
spreading tho wings. Atmospheric action
does the rest, and the operator soars away
majestically like a huge bird. This action
is in exact imitation of that of all large
birds, when they take their flight from
the ground.
Mr. Lilienthal has succeeded in accom
plishing by this method flights of 500
yards from a given starting point. In do
ing so, he has sailed against a moderate
breeze at an angle of not more than 6 de
grees to the horizon.
TWENTY-THREE-TOOT WINGS. .
The wings he now uses measure twenty'-
three feet from tip to tip. It required a
great many experiments to determine the
Proper size of wings, length, breadth and
backward extension. Upon these points
*n the construction of the machine de
pends the ability of the operator to so
ai er his position in the shortest space of
time that the action of the air may be
overcome and equilibrium restored oy a
change of the center of gravity.

engin • nor an electric motor was avail- I
able in Mr. Lilienthal’s machine, so he
had to devise something different. He
conceived the idea of utilizing as a mo
tive force the vapor of liquid carbolic
acid. This, which four or five years ago
was a mere chemical curiosity,"is now a
commercial article, selling for s cents >a
pound. He constructed a small engine,
consisting of a tiny cylinder, with the re
quisite valves to be worked by hand, and
a small reservoir. It was of 2-horso
1 >owcr, and its supply of acid was sutlic
cient to work the wings, b.v a simple sys
tem of gearing, for two hours. The total
weight of the added machinery was
twenty-five pounds.
SMASHED WINGS AND ALL.
The first trial of this machine proved
that its power had been underestimated,
it smashed wings and all. The accident
referred to in the cable dispatch doubt
less happened in a trial of perfected de
vice for populsion.
Mr. Lilienthal was once asked if there
is not greet danger of falling in his flights.
He said the parts of the machine would
act Id any event as a parachute and make
his descent gradual. The tenor of the
dispatch leaves one to surmise that his
expectations in that respect were not
fully realized.
EYES AS INDEPENDENT ORGANS.
An Oculist Claims They iYere Origi
nally Placed One in Each Temple.
From the New York Times.
No thinking man can have failed to no
tice that nature, in providing man with
two eyes, seems to have acted on a dif
ferent principle from that which has
guided her in providing him with two
ears, two hands and two feet. The ears,
tho hauds, and the feet are each in
dependent of the other. One hand, for
example, can be occupied with one thing,
while the other hand is occupied at the
same time with something else; and
we can hear on ono side of
the head with one ear, while hear
ing on the other side with tho other
ear. But the two eyes arc, so to
speak, geared together, and both of them
must look at the same thing simultane
ously. Moreover, unlike most other ani
mals, man’s eyes are placed so close to
gether in the front of his |head that he
can see only directly in front of him. Tho
bird can watch a cat with his left eye and
keep a desirable worm in sight on tho
other side of him with tho other eye.
Theologians have argued that the human
eve is so precious that nature lias pro
vided every man with a spare eye, so that
if he loses one he can still see almost
equally well with the other. An emi
nent German oculist has, however, just
discovered that this is a mistake, and
that nature never intended that our eyes
should be placed as close together as they
are now placed, or that they should be so
coupled together that they cannot be
be used independently one of another.
WHEN MAN COULD LOOK TWO WATS.
According to this oculist, tho human
eyes wer- originally placed one in each
temple, .v’ith this arrangement of eyes
our remote ancestors were able to see on
each side of themselves at tho same time.
Moreover, they could turn one eye to the
left and see over the left shoulder, while
turning the other eye to the right, so as
to look over the right shoulder. This
gave primeval man great advantages in
his warfare with wild beaots and men of
hostile tribes, and rendered him less lia
ble to be surprised by the stealthy ap
proach of his wife with the stove lid of
the period. Why the eyes have gradually
moved to the front of the face, and how it
has come to pass that they can no longer
be used independently, the German ocu
list does not explain iiuany satisfactory
way. Of course, t being oa i German, he
lias a theory to account for this change,
but he states it in a way so aggressively'
scientific that the wayfaring man who is
not a profound anatomist and versed in
every form of German philosophy cannot
comprehend the explanation.
Nature lias, we are told, tried to rec
tify the present unfortunate situation of
the human eye by what oculists have
mistaken for a deformity and called by
the formidable name of strabismus. The
cross-eyed man is, according to this
theory’, merely a man whose eyes nature
has striven to bring back to the original
pattern. Any boy who has studied under
a cross-eyed schoolmaster will remember
that master's strange ability to see mis
chief that was in progress almost behind
his back. It is true that the cross-eyed
man cannot uncouple his eyes and use
each of them for different and simul
taneous purposes, but he certainly' can
see in directions which the man with so
called normal eyes cannot possibly see.
READING TWO HOOKS AT ONCE.
Some time ago the German oculist
found in a Berlin hospital a girl whose
eyes wore capable of independent motion.
This fact the short-sighted physician in
charge of the hospital regarded as a de
formity, and he called in the oculist to rem
edy it. Of course, the latter was far too
fond of science to do anything of the kind
He made a most thorough study of the
girl, and came to the conclusion that her
endowment in point of eyes was vastly
superior to that of the average girl. She
could, without turning her head, see
around an arc of fully 180 degrees,
and she could read simultaneously' two
books, oud held near her right oar and
the other near her left ear. She could
furthermore turn both eyes inward,
so as to see an object northeast
of her nose with her left eye, and
another object northwest of her nose
with the right eye. It was clear
to the oculist that there was a girl with
very nearly tho same powers of vision
that, were possessed b.v a man in apes
long prior to the cave-dwelling era, and,
filled with enthusiasm, he carried the
girl to his house, and began a long series
of experiments which convinced him that
the theory that our eyes were intended
to boas independent of ono another as
are our hands is unquestionably true.
Not content with experimenting with
the girl's eyes, the oculist borrowed a
cheap boy from an orphan asylum, and,
after a year of steady and persevering
effort, succeeding in uncoupling his ey es,
so that he now sees in the same extensive
and independent manner as the girl.
ADVANTAGES OE INDEPENDENT KVKS.
From the success of these experiments,
the oculist argues that children can be
taught to the independent use, of each
eye, and. mankind once more endowed
with the umoupled eyes that nature or
iginally intended that we should have.
That there will be advantages connected
with the improved method of vision is
undeniable. To the school teacher and
the Sunday school superintendent it will
be a manifest gain to "be able to watch
every part of the school room without
moving the head. In almost every path
of life the ability to use tho left eye for
one purpose and the right eye for another
will enlarge tho powers ns well as tho
vision of man. The .young lady who can
tix one eye on her admirer and keep the
other on the door can thus enjoy
her lover s society and feel secure against
tin- embarrassments which are o'ten
eausod by the entrance of a sudden father
or au unexpected brother. The clergy
man .an read his sermon with one eye
and keep the choir In order with the
other, and the exnr can review his
troops w ith his right eye while constantly
revolving the other In search of nihilists
with dynamite bombs Indeed, it is diffi
cult to imagine any situation in which
the isjssoasiou of two independent eyes
will not be an ad vantage except perhaps
to the city policeman who, with the irn
proved eyes, would find It more dlfticuit

A MODEL FARM.
A Field of Cotton That Will Produce a
Bale and a Half per Acre-
Sandersville, Ga., July SO. —Mr. George
Gilmore, seven miles north of Sanders
ville, has one of the finest farms in Wash
ington county.
Last year, on a field of sixty-five acres,
he had a volunteer crop of Constitutional
peas, the only variety raised on the farm,
which embraces 400 acres. 'The year pre
vious, 1892, this field produced 1,800 bush
els of corn, or thirty bushels per acre,
and was also planted in peas. After the
crops were gathered, horses, cattle and
hogs were turned into the field to glean
what had escaped the harvester, and
then tho field was sowed in oats. The
oat crop was cut in the spring of 1893, and
then came on the volunteer peas. None
had been planted—they were all vol
unteers, the vines springing from
the seed , that had fallen
from the pods the year previous. Last
August the field was completely covered
with vines. A hat thrown into the air
would not come to the ground, but would
bo caught and supported by the luxuriant
pea vines, which formed a perfect mass.
Mr, Gilmore wasaasked why he had his
peas planted so thick, to which he re
plied that it was entirely a volunteer
crop.
This pea crop was gathered last fall,
after which stock gleaned the field, in Jan
uary the stubble of the pea vines was
turned under and allowed to decay. In
April the field was planted in cotton.
This cotton is now four feet high all over
the field, and is no doubt the finest field
of cotton in Washington county. Four
hundred pounds of acid phosphate
and twenty-live bushels of cotton seed per
acre was used on the land broadcast. T he
crop looks as vigorous and luxuriant as a
green bay tree, it has not suffered from
tho excess of rain. The rows are five
feet apart and already tho branches are
beginning to interlock. The stalks are well
fruited. It is the general opinion that
this field of 65 acres will, with a favorable
season, produce one hundred bales of cot
ton. Mr. W. L. Lozier, a successful
farmer of that section, stated that with a
good season it would make a bale and a
half per acre.
Across the road is another crop of cot
ton. The land is of the same character of
soil as that on which Mr. Gilmore's crop
is growing. The stalks are about one
foot and a half high, and the crop looks
very unpromising. It will take several
acres of this to make one bale of cotton.
Mr. Gilmore attributes his line crops to
the virtue contained in pea vines,
which are the best and cheapest fertil
izers that can be applied to land. He has
been experimenting for several years just
to see what would be the result. The
crops now growing upon his farm prove
the wisdom of his course. There is no
new ground of virgin soil that can excel
his fields in fertility. The land was poor
and hungry for vegetable matter to sus
tain the annual crops. A problem pre
sented itself to him as to the best and
cheapest method of restoring to the soil
those elements of plant life necessary to
produce crops which would not only pay
for the expense of cultivation, but also
make a profit. And that problem has
been solved. Every farmer whoso land
is lacking in fertility should
avail himself of the opportunity
offered to inspect this crop and
see for himself what are the possibilities
of worn out lands when the pioper ingre
dients are intermingled with the soil.
The crops on land thus treated can
withstand the effects of extreme spells of
wet or dry weather. While cotton al
most everywhere is now yellow and shed
ding on account of the rains, the cotton
on this farm h u s shown no sign of failing.
It is a magnificent sight to see the splen
did field crops on this farm. The whole
secret is revealed in this sentence:
The land was hungry and it was fed on
pea vines.
Mr. Gilmore had the misfortune of
having his barn, the largest in the county,
burned last year. This has been rebuilt.
He raises standard bred horses for the
market, and now has on his farm forty or
fifty head of stock, it costs no more to
raise a standard-bred colt than a common
one, and the price of tho former will
double and sometimes quadruple those of
the latter kind. The expense of feeding
stock is comparatively small in the sum
mer, as he has large pastures of meadow
land on which the stock keeps fat. His
barns and cribs are filled with corn, oats
and hay. No fodder is ever gathered. It
is allowed to enrich the land which pro
duces it. Besides the corn yields better
if the fodder is not pulled from the stalks
while it is maturing.
A xvind mill, put up by H. Jeff Davis of
Waynesboro, supplies water for a large
tank, from which it is conveyed in pipes
to the stable lots and pastures, and tho
stock can obtain water whenever desired.
