A Few Famous Flying Machines of the Past Viewed from the Standpoint of the Present—The Fall of Man After Adam- Some Apt and Handsome Il lustrations. [Copy ig'it by Edgar W. Nyo.] The Pennington Air Ship company, of Chicago, will please accept thanks for annual pass over its lines, good for self and family, for one year. I had wanted one very severely, but I had feared that the company might not feel that I was eminent enough to be placed on the eleemosynary list. The conditions on the back are not severe, and I have already signed them. They bind me not to stand on the plat form while the car is in motion unless properly chalked or rosined. They also z-x |w| \ T fk S— JL 11 n wib«w£ht i PIERCING THE AIR. oblige me to refrain from bringing suit against the company in case of accident. Os course I would not be so pesky low down as to sue a corporation which would give me a free ride. That would be as mean as that Polish gentleman whose wife gave birth to a little Pole sort of a hop pole, as it were —on the 21st of February. The little Pole was born on the ferryboat Middletown, on the Staten Island ferry, just off the Statue of Liberty, and I suggested that they call him Liberty Pole. But that has nothing to do with the case. The birth of the little fellow on board a ferryboat, followed by a reception pre sided over by Dr. Robinson, who hap pened to be present, created general good feeling among the passengers, after which quite a purse of money was raised for the mother and child. Staten Islanders are not only generally well to do, but generous, and so it was a snug little sum which was turned over to the poor woman, who, being somewhat fa tigued, turned it over to her husband. He took the money and went to Eu rope with it on the following day. Some men never recover from the nervous shock of becoming a father; others are greatly improved by sending them to Europe. This poor man seemed to real ize that nothing but complete change and rest would bring back the roses to his wan cheek. He is over there yet. Some men, I was going to say, are more honored in the breach than in the observance, but that is incorrect. This man ought to be stripped and tied to the north pole. Then he ought to be covered with ob loquy and annoyed to death by a never ending procession of people squeezing by him to go and get a jag, while through eternity he is cursed by the evasive odor of their cloven breaths as they file by on their return, while himself perishing for a drink. But I am wandering. I inn very grateful for the pass, and if I do not avail myself of it 1 know of a man who used to ask mo to loan him my railroad pass. 1 will let him go, perhap*. in my nlaco over tho road tho first time. and THE HUBUNE-OF-ROME. SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 15, 1891. then when it is better ballasted i win go myself. I have several other passes o er com peting lines—air lines, as it werp —issued years ago and decorated on the back with low cut conditions. Thee Besnier flying machine, for instance, (invented by a gentleman of the above tame re siding in Sable, France, issued passes some years ago, and I have carried mine now until it has a careworn look which casts a gloom over aerostation I’.nd such things as that. The first thing to be accomplished in successful aerostation is to overcome the force of gravity and the resistance of capitalists. The next is to overcome the force of gravity or provide easy and con venient places upon which to al ght. The third requirement is that the aero naut shall be able to guide his rolling stock in such away as to avoids running into a brighter and more beautiful world. “ S- M. Besnier, who was a locksmith of Sable (pronounced Sablay), indented a flying machine which consisted of four rectangular wings arranged irr’lpaire at opposite ends of two rods passing over the shoulders, the rear extremities of the rods being connected by cords to the ankles of the remains—the wearer, I mean —in order to enable his leys to pay their way by operating a resr i set of wings. \ Besnier was not able to rise *rc»m the ground and soar away like abujk, but could climb to the ak.. after putting on his wt off in such away as not 1 so severely as you mighty i would M. Desi><' and nice dry, warm clothes weffe wait ing for him. But he never could get over his sorrow and dieappointmeikt that he could not rise from the stubbW when flushed by a dog or shooed by ona of his family. He died at the close of the Seventeenth century, and on his tomb are carved, in French, the lines: Come, birdie, come. And fly with mo. H* broko his leg while trying to fly with a hired girl weighing 185 pounds. In after years he wore a cork leg, and when his wife wished him to fold his wings and come off the perch she would lock up his cork leg in her bureau drawer and conceal the key in the family Bible. Being a Free Thinker, he never discov ered the key, and for many years was at the mercy of his wife. About a century and a quarter later Jacob Degen, a prisoner at Vienna, con structed an apparatrs having two um brella-like wings on each side of the op erator and worked by manual power. He was a convict, however, and the rather rigid rules governing prison life interfered with his experiments. The I jailer would allow him to fly to a height , of fifty feet, but had a cord attached to the machine so that Degen conld not es cape. One day he cut the rope and soared away into the ether blue; but as he was putting his thumb to his nose in an atti tude of derision at the warden his off wing buckled to, and a moment later he fell with a dismal plunk into a mortar bed jnst outside the penitentiary. After that he wore a look of chastened sorrow and a truss. The great difficulty experienced by the flying machine men of all ages is to over come the atmospheric influences suffi ciently to float the stock. Besnier wanted also to be able to rise by his own unaided efforts, like a self made and sockless statesman. He wanted to be able to light out when “shooed,” but whether he “shooed” or “shooed not,” he died unsatisfied. Poor man! he did not know whether he shooed or shooed not skip through the aeronaut. This is what I call a reciprocity joke. It is for use in our trade with England. Poetry written by Lord Tennyson taken in exchange. Better jokes offered, how ever, in trade for Tennyson’s earlier work, done when he was poet. In the manufacture of flying ma chines we are apt to forget that the pectoral muscles of a bird are greater than all the other combined muscular tissue of the fowl put together, while in man the pectoral muscles comprise only one-seventieth of those in the body. So man must rely upon extraneous methods of propulsion, and artificial be comes extremely difficult. In the middle of the present century a bill was introduced into the house of commons by Mr. Roebuck to incorporate a company for tho purpose of working a gigantic flying machine, also the stock holders. "It comprised a horizontal plane made of wire mill hollow wooden bars, ar ranged on the principle of a trussed tfirder and covered with silk." I tire- same the motto of the company was the same as that on the silver dollar—“ln God We Trussed.” This plane was furnished with a pro peller driven by a steam engine. A tail capable of being brought to any desired 1 angle—according to whether the owner : felt elated or depressed, I presume—was arranged “so that when the power acts to propel the machine by inclining the tail upward the resistance offered by the air will cause the machine to rise, and when the tail is reversed the ma chine is propelled downward and passes through a plane more or less inclined to the horizon, as the inclination of the tail is greater or less. ” The inclination of the tail, however,was intensely downward —an inclination in which the stockholders shared. The ma chine was designed for carrying freight, passengers and mail, but so far most all shippers are sending merchandise and mail by other routes. The whole appa ratus weighed 3,000 pounds, and there fore made quite a largo dent in one of the planets on her trial trip. The tail had an area of 1,500 square feet, and when jauntily thrown over the dashboard had a tendency to obstruct the view. This machine also was unable to rise from its jimson weeds and soar away into the empyrean blue like a sandhill crane, but had to be scooted along a TWW I 'F 1 I ; I M mW* i y COKI birdie HI/ 'u i pi-’* siii/ I(Py' _ If wwW W AT THE GRAVE OF BESNIER, railroad track at great speed, down hill, till the proper velocity was attained, and then by depressing the tail it was sup posed to rise like an eagle and bark the shins of planets yet unborn. It did not do so. You can get the stock low, or suburban property will be taken in exchange. My annual pass has expired. So has the inventor. When he took his flying machine out of the round house he was the picture of health. When he was next seen it was eight years later, and a lad 11 years old went up and got him out of the top of a tree. He had changed a great deal. Ho had lost most of his hair. Also his head. But his teeth were found buried in tho trunk of the tree, and they had the name of the maker in the roof of the plate. So he was identified. In this country flying machines have had a downward tendency until recently. I am glad to notice that Chicago is tak ing an interest, and I shall certainly do everything I can to advance and encour age the enterprise. I wish I had room to go on with the history of flying machines and aero nautics in this country, but it would take too long to even publish the obituaries of the inventors. All have been confi dent, but all have failed. That is no reason, however, why the matter should not yet succeed in the future. Far be it from me to speak slightingly of the glorious possibilities in store for us. It is only a few years since a passel of bright young humorists sat on the banks of the Hudson and laughed till they ached as they watched the awkward floating thrashing machine of Robert Fulton. But where are they today? They are dead, and no man seeks to dig out the mass and read their unremembered names. They laughed and then they died. Fulton considered and lived on. He laughs best who laughs last. If you desire to make a hit, laugh at some of yonr own odd breaks. But if you want oblivion to have a cinch upon your fame, laugh at tho shiny elbows and ragged knees of genius and progress.
