The transatlantic problem will come next," he continued, "and cross ing the Atlantic in the air would be a greater feat than that of Columbus. The expense of a trip across the At lantic rather than the risk of life In volved is the one factor which is keep ing aviators from attempting the pass age. ■. •■'■-'.; "It would require a large machine with capacity for a great quantity of gasoline. The Atlantic could be crossed at its narrowest point, which is about 1150 miles, In twenty-four hours. "One of the requisites for such a trip is a fast boat build especially for such a trip, which could develop and sus tain a speed of from forty to fifty knots an hour-. While such a motorboat could not keep up with the aeroplane, the lat ter could make circles In the air and fly back every time it got too far ahead." Hamilton will go to Chattanooga, Term., later in the month for a series of government aeroplane tests. He Is twenty-nine years old and is possessed of an independent fortune. He is a graduate of the Sheffield Scientific school at Yale and is a lineal descend ent of Alexander Hamilton. RAISING A $10,000 FUND FOR FLIGHT ACROSS MISSOURI ST.
