The LONDON CORRESPONDENT OF tho New York

DIsRAELIs speech at tho Merchant Tailors' School
in tho city tho other day. An incident took place
| on that occasion very interesting TO Americans,
but which did not appear, aB far "a could SEQ, In
any Of tho English papers. Mr. DIsnAELl in that
extraordinary speech said, among othor things
almost in tho words Of his great speech on roform
In 1852 that American politics wero no guide to
English politics. Amorica, ho said, was
colony, and hsd no great national tradition 10 keep

mover saw him. Do this rs it may, bfr. ADAMS got

Mr. WEsuAlf, which ia said to bo "full OF close
reasoning, and differing entirely from the illogical
specnlations often put forth by enthusiastic pro-
1ectors, who act to work according to methods
that inevitably lend 10 failure" He examines ut

wings OF different kinds, the weight OF bodice, tho
muscular strength required for fight, tho much
less power needed for horizontal or angular mo-
ton in the air than for perpendicular ascent, and
other questions bearing on the snbject He con-
sidera that tho attempt to simply initiate the
flight OF birds is imprsctcabe, but concludes that
''man is endowed with sufficient muscular power
to enable him to tako individual and extended

in question Of suitable mechanical Adaptations
