PARIS,
Aug.

Following
his
death
Saturday
night
as
a
result
of
a
heart
attack,
the
body
of
Louis
Blerlot,
aged
64,
the
first
aviator
to
pilot
a
plane
across
the
English
Channel,
is
lying
ln
state
ln
his
jhome
here
pending
Interment.
Louis
Blerlot
was
the
Lindbergh
of
his
day.
His
pioneer
flight-across
the
Eng-
lish
Channel
was
as
daring
a
feat
in
1909
as
was
Colonel
Lindbergh's
trans-Atlantic
trip
'through
the
air
ln
1927.
Notwithstanding
the
18
years
that
Intervened
between
their
epo-
chal
flights,
It
Is
not
unlikely
that
the
names
of
Blerlot
and
Lindbergh
,
will
be
closely
linked
In
aeronau
tical
history.
By
being
the
first
to
accomplish
the
seemingly
Impossible
feat
of
their
respective
times,
each
was
responsible
for
a
direct
move
In
the
progress
of
flying.
Lindbergh's
In-!
terest
toward
flying
Is
said
to
have
been
partly
inspired
by
the
stories
of
Bleriot's
early
fame.
When
the
Spirit
of
St.
Louis
made
its
historic
landing
at
Le
Bourget,
the
French
flyer's
name
was
one
of
the
first
to
be
uttered
by
the
young
Ameri
can.
How
aviation
advanced
'between
those
two
flights
Is
indicated
by
the
fact
that,
when
Lindbergh
spanned
the
Atlantic,
Bleriot's
feat
had
become
a
commonplace
everyday
event.
Was
Engineer
Born
at
Cambral,
July
1.
1872,
Blerlot
was
the
son
of
a
manufac-j
jturer
and
thus
came
in
contact
with
things
mechanical
since
his
boyhood.
He
went
to
a
technical
school
and
took
a
degree
in
engineering.
After
his
military

'
second
lieutenant
of

at
Tarbes,
he
became
Interested
In
automobiles.
After
several
years
of
experimentation,
he
Invented
the
automobile
searchlight
in
1896.
Four
years
later
the
sight
of
the
famous
flying
machine,
built
by
Ader
and
exhl-hlted
ln
Paris,
turned
his
attention
toward
the
then
infantile
science
of
aviation.
.
Year
In
and
year
out,
Blerlot
studied
the
problem
of
making
a
practicable
airplane.
He
conducted
dozens
of
experiments
at
Issy-less
Moullneaux
and
lost
most
of
the
fortune
he
had
made
with
his
automobile
searchlight..
In
1906,
aided
by
two
friends,
he
founded
the
first
airplane
factory
ln
France.
