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

about eighty pounds. It has no en

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

was considerable excitement In th
neighborhood when the machine first
appeared opon the street and many
