Langley Folly Revisited as Curtiss Retries Old Aeroplane
Langley’s famed aviation machine, recovered from the Potomac and rebuilt by Glenn Curtiss in Hammondsport, proves the older design could lift from water but lacks Wrights’ control system. Orville Wright dismisses any bearing on his and Wilbur’s inventions, noting Langley’s approach differed and failed even with greater power in 1905.

American Forestry Association notes on forests and fires
An eight page circle from the American Forestry Association details forest resources, their value and waste. It cites 753,000 lumber jobs with 367 million dollars in wages and 1.25 billion in product value, and forests covering 550 million acres. Annual forest fires kill about 70 people and cause 25 million dollars in losses, with 50 million dollars yearly due to insect and disease damage and floods causing unseen losses. The report also highlights positive gains from intensive management, forest planting, and fire patrols reducing losses to one tenth of a cent per acre, and estimates potential annual incomes of 65 million dollars from planting and 100 million from preservation efforts.
