The French tbemselTea masters ot the air call Louis Mouillard the father of aviation, although he nerer flew. Mouillard was a theorist It fa admit ted today that his tbeortestrere sound, although he nerer pot them Into achieving form. Mouillard wrote two books. "The Empire of the Air" and -Flight With Fixed Wings." Only the first of these works appeared daring his lifetime, and that had a small cir culation. But he pointed the way to fly. and ten years after his death the Wright brothers, following priociplea he set down, proved that he had solv ed the problem. Mouillard explained that to seek to fly by Imitating the beating of a bird's wings was error; that, instead of try ing this impossible feat, man should imitate those birds which soar with steady wings and avail themselves of air currentB. If Mouillard had possess ed money there Is little doubt that he would have demonstrated his theory. as it has been success fuly proved. The life of this remarkable man seems. on superficial view, to have been a failure. But his compatriots, recog nizing his real worth, set up a monu ment to his memory at Beliopolis, Egypt He died in 1897. The story of bis life is pathetic. Mouillard was the son of a dyer of Lyons. From boyhood he was fas cinated by the flight of birds. He managed to bay an eagle, which he secreted in the family garret and studied with an avid interest when ever he could escape from his books or work. He watched the bird's movements, measured its wings and studied it with infinite pains. And when he had mastered the secret with the aid of his admiring sisters, he built an aeroplane with cotton and corset bones and determined himself to fly. Oolng to a hill crowned with a church, with a sheer cliff on one side, the young inventor was about to trust himself to his contrivance when the beadle rushed at him, boxed bis ears, confiscated his machine and sent him borne in disgrace. This was the only attempt Mouillard ever made to fly. but his studies on the subject nerer ceased. He showed such aptitude at drawing that it was decided he should make his living by this talent. He won a schol arship and, going to Paris, studied un der Ingres. Yet while he drew and painted his mind was always on flijrlit. He would climb the towers of Notre Dame, watch the startled birds take flight and study their movements. Moulllard's father died, and his artis tic career suddenly closed. He went to Algeria as a colonist and rondo a fail ure in that, but the birds again were bis teachers. He noted that the sea birds rose, turned and flew against the wind without a movement of their wings. He weighed the bodies of the strongest, calculated wing space and advanced In bis theories toward the truth. Casting about for a vocation, for he was poor. Mouillard secured a place to teach drawing at the Polytechnic school of Cairo. Here he Imd another oppor tunity. He would study the vultures of the desert, and almost daily he sought them inland. He finally called the vulture "the master of flight," add ing: "In the perfection of the result and the simplicity of the movement their flight is so splendid that it over comes the watcher. Every time you look at it you are amazed that none hHS tried to reproduce it. It is so sim ple, so exactly what we want What could we ask more than that steady flight and those immense circles which carry the bird into the heavens? They are all our desires realized." P.y de grees he formulated his theories of air currents. He observed that birds rose and hung motionless and moved with out besting their wings. He ruminated on the air forces caused by the rising of hot air froM the desert and their ef fect on the flight of the birds. He had 60lved the mystery. Stricken with illness. Mouillard could no longer teach drawing. He managed to publish his "Empire of the Air," knowing its scientific value, and to reach Paris, where his theories were A Krrr rwrlpllm Tint Dim Itn Work 0rr Ms hi You I'rr pmrc It at lain Ootb Hume.

The SoViety For Aeria Navigation road him a member, but no one was ready to advance him nion ey for a practical demonstration of his theories. Discouraged. Mouillard returned to Cairo, where he acted as cashier in a shop, hh wife being employed in an other place. They together earned but little. By degrees he finished his work on "Flight With Fixed Wings." Just before his death Chanute. the Ameri can, corresponded with Mouillard on the subject of aviatiou.
