The ART OF FLyINa.-Next Sunday, it

The flying machine is the invention of a
Don Diego de Salamanca, with which, it
is said, his daughter Rosanna rose in the
air some time ago at Madrid. The ma.
chine is very simple; it consists of case
two feet long and one foot wide, adapted
to a band of leather round the waist, buck
led behind. Two iron rods fastened to
the case. support small piece of wood on
which the feet repose. The case contains
a simple and ingenious mechanism, similar
to that employed to set an automaton in
motion. The mechanism is worked by
means OF a handle. Ii sets in motion two
large wings ten feet long, made Of very
thin cauo,chou and covered with feathers,
and the wing may be worked so as to pro.
duce vertical, perpendicular, or horizontal
flying. The number of turns given to the
handle determines the height to which it is
desired to go. The handle has also to be
turned every quarter of n league to regu-
late the distance, the operation of the wing
lasts minute. Horizonta tai flying is the
most difficult, The wings beat the air, as the
+ feet of the swan when it swims. Il travels
faster than locomotive. The price of each
