FLYING AND Acknowledgement pa

Rue Buincampoix, Paris, formerly the
porter of hotel, who has for some time
been possessed with the idea that he
could initiate Icarius, and fly in the air,

lby flying from DE window, which was
Ion the iouftl floor. He fell in the
court yard and was killed on the spot.
! The Frenchman had not the forecast
and sagacity of an aspiring Yankee,
who made an experiment in flying. Hav.i

plies the possibility Of bucying himself
up, he procured pair Of wings and
mounted the ridge of a earn. From
thence he essayed his flight; cat being
unable to resist the laws Of gravitation,

heap OF stones. bruising himself bad

he said "Fyiag was pleasant enough,
but mighfing was mighty uncomIorta-

India Rubber. An ingenious disco
very, by which lnlia rubber and gutta
4 percha are rendered applicable to the
formation Of artificial features, and to
the. covering Of artificial Imbs. has
been made by Mr.. f. GRAY, Of Cork
street, London. By this discovery, the
necessity of what is called the 'ialiaco
tian operation, in supplying the place
OF a lost nose to a face, is removed, for
that feature can be formed, and, as it
were, grated on the integuments in
such manner as closely to resemble
nature. The human ear can also be
closely initiated by the substance,
which perfectly resembles the natural
skin aud is almost equally flexible. So
complete is the deception, that, with
out the closest inspection, it is nearly
limpossiblesto discover that art has su.
perseded natnrc. This invention is
among those thich prove the variety
,of uses to which the materials employ
al in 1t can be applied.
