The biplane Is twenty-three feet by four and one-half feet and is built of wood, covered with unbleached cotton. It has a front horizontal rudder and a rear vertical cone, similar to the Wright machine. It has on seat right in the center of the second low er plane. The entire craft weighs about eighty pounds. It has no en gine, and in order to fly young Bean relies upon the momeotum gathered in gliding down bUl. He built the aeroplane himself, as sisted by some of bU companions from the technical high school, where they learned sufficient of practical construc tion work to enable them to build an excellent machine. After the machine waa completed It was Uken by the young men to a large field on a hill near the T street bridge to give It lu first trial There was considerable excitement In th neighborhood when the machine first appeared opon the street and many persons followed It to th field to watoh the trial filghu Mr. Bean was quit satisfied with hi experiments, which demonstrated that the machine was capable of sup porting lu passenger, could be bal anced and would respond to 1U rud ders.
