IL Santoa-Dumont's accomplishment
la flying 683 feet la a "heavler-than-tdr"
machine In Paris the other day
was the chief topic of discussion at a
meeting of aeronauts and men Inter
ested In aeronautics recently held at
the Hotel Astor In New York.
"It marks the most positive advance
yet made 'In the science of aeronau
tics," said Mr. Augustus Post "There
h&Te been many reports of the suc
cessful performance of similar feats,
but M. Santos-Dumont has publicly
demonstrated the entire practicability
f the 'heavier-than-air' principle. One
of the features that should not be lost
sight of Is the fact that such a ma
chine as his can be made for not to ex
ceed $3,000, while $100,000 would not
buy a Lebaudy airship of the gas bat;
design. As soon as the public be
comes accustomed to the operation of
these airshins thev will he as numer-
V ous and more popular than automo
biles." "More than anything elr the
achievement of Santos-Duiuout will
compel other Inventors to come into
the open and make public what they
have accomplished," said Mr. J. ('.
McCoy, who made many assents iu
Faris last summer In company with
Lieutenant Lahin and as his own pilot.
"It marks the beginning of a new era
In aeronautics," he added.
Stimulated by the feat of Santos-Du-mont,
Ir. Julian p. Thomas has re
newed his experiments witli aero

Good Digestion and Good Looks
OUR PAINLESS METHODS
and acknowledged skill and pcntlo-
ness in handling the most difficult
cases have robbed the dentist's of
fice of its old time terrors. People
entrusting their work to us are sur
prised and delighted at the results
which will not fail to satisfy the
most exacting.
We ami to keep the lead; old
fashioned method Ind no plne m
our otVwe. VP, give the host in
skill and methods and appliance
mer for ballooning. Dr. Thomas was
associated with Mr. Israel Ludlow lu
the experiments which resulted In the
almost fata! accident to the latter In
Florida last spring when his airship
collapsed.
"Without In any way discounting the
achievement of M. Santos liumont,"
said Dr. Thomas, "I believe I have dis
covered a more correct principle of
maintaining equilibrium than his ap
pears to be. 1 know from my experi
ence In ballooning that one is more
than anything else anxious to know
how he is going to land. When that
problem Is solved the rest Is easy. I
have already set to work carrying out
my own ideas. Like all other Invent
ors, I expect of course to succeed, but
at least I have enough confidence in
my plan to risk my own neck In try
ing it out. I shall have the aeroplane
finished within a few months, and by
next spring at the latest I shall proba
bly either have succeeded lu proving
my theory or disproving it to my own
cost."
A. M. Herring, who has been experi
menting for a dozen years with gliding
machines and aeroplanes, said that M.
Santos-Dumont's feat was chiefly of
Importance as having been the first
public demonstration of the practica
bility of flyiug with a machine without
the aid of a gas bag.
"It is furthest from my thoughts to
appear to disparage M. Santos-Dumont's
performance." he said, "and he
deserves extreme credit for what he
accomplished, but the fact remains
that the Wright brothers iu this coun
try have far exceeded his feat, al
though not in public tests. I do not
blame the public for being suspicious
of claims which are made without
proof, however, and the fact that thou
sands of persons saw with their own
eyes the flight of M. Santos-Dumont
entitles him to all the praise which has
been accorded to him.
"With the experience of additional
flights he ought to gain confidence and
a greater facility in guiding his air
ship, lie Is proceeding on the same
general principles as almost all aero
plane Inventors nowadays, and his
ship Is probaldy the type of what will
finally become the standard airship

and i-h-ctrle lines are displaced for all

whereupon n young woman of engag-

lug manners approached and, announc
ing herself as a fetlchlst, asked per
mission to bite the coin for Rood luck.
The lawyer was complaisant, but th
girl. Instead of biting the coin, swallow
ed It. Iiespite her alluring smiles, tin
lawyer's complaisance changed to rfr
scutnient. He called n iHiliceiuan, and
the girl was arrested. At the station
house the commissary ordered an
emetic. Then, to the consternation ot
those present, tiiere came Into view
not the louls, but two ten franc pieces
The commissary urged a second effort,
and the patient rid herself not of oih
but two cuius of the desired denomina

The police have learned that she ha
