| Show AIR TRAVEL AGAIN oxe ONE of the most moat claimants to K the discovery of a practical system of aerial navigation as charles 0 loeber who has received extended notice from the brooklyn eagle mr loeber to in of german extraction and once practiced law in utah he has lately lived in IB brooklyn new york and has turned his bis mind toward invention in the direction mentioned it appears that while engaging in legal pursuits he has studied aerial subjects for awen ty five beare and like others who have devoted themselves to a special I 1 reject lie he la Is now in need of funds to aut sat what he claims to have discovered into visible and practical shape the inventor wants to eni ale ble him to construct an air car made f or of iron and steal to prevent fire its extreme lebirth to be seventy nine jeet teet mean breadth twenty seven feet J height thirty five feet length and breadth of wings forty and twenty seven even feet total wig wi g area two thou sand and one hundred and sixty square feet alii have a net carrying cap icicy of six hundred tons the minimum unyielding air support underneath the wrings wings he be says will be one thousand one hundred and eighty eight tons and ir the area of the machine will be forty K equale quare feet jt 1 his theory la is not very clearly exi pla ined but he says the foundation AV awad and embodiment of his bis invention Is the air Is a power sub tance but its power is boccut and ff blade manifest only by the use of 7 ic means ieans the balloon Is the means to obtain two opposite vertical air columns and the excess of the lower over the 4 upper air column vacuous space in the pneumatic tube Is the means to ob ulu tain the full pressure force of one air column A third means which he claims to have discovered brings forth y Aluth exis this belins means is constant and the control of the rudder absolute three hundred miles an hour speed according to his statement are as easily obtainable in the air as are thirty y bailee ales an hour on laud land the norms norma height of the car in the air will be 1 mountains so as to keep it out of the zone of cyclones and an automatic register denoting the height of the car coupled with a simple rule fixing the heights for the various cars will make collisions practically impossible As illustrations of the feasibility of hu his plan and the existence of ant he be cites the vulture which when weighted with a load heavier then than itself to is able to rise in the air to any distance were not the air unyielding the bird would have no agthe air woula vip bip by it th the bird does not obtain this by the exertion of force as an to ie shown by the motion motionless lew wings of the eagle poised in air in the case came of the laden vulture the force needed would be a force equal the weight of the vulture and its ito prey added to that needed for fulcrum age and its flying force this would make flight impossible he claims unless nature had provided a better means than simple force and this mr loeber says he has baa discovered of course it is very easy to ridicule 1 ill I this and to class the discoverers discoverer in claims with others that practical experiment peri ment has hag proven to be chimerical but aerial navigation we have no doubt la Is a possibility and one of the problems that will be solved before long mr loeber says saya his bis success after many years of unremitting remitting study was quite providential providen iia and we hope be will find the needful means to put his discovery to a practical test A trip abroad through the air without the noise dust aud and bustle of the railroad and the horrible nausea and biscom forts of the ocean steamer would b be bb b a wonderful improvement on present locQ locomotion motion and who knows how soon it may cease to be either a dream or a marvel |
