The Flying Man.

At a recent meeting of the Aeronautical
Society OF England it was announced by Mr..
Wenham that one OF the members of the
society, Mr. Spencer, had already constructed
an apparatus by the aid uf which he had ac-
complished the feat of raising himself from
the ground level and performing horizontal
flight of sixty feet, and it was further stated
by Mr.. Wenham that Mr.. Spencer expected
to fly the length OF the Crystal Palace dur
ing the meeting of the Aefonaatieal society
to he held there on the 10Th instant. Since
the above announcement was made we have
received from Mr.. Spencer some particulars
of the apparatus employed by him. 1t con-
sists oil a pair of wings OF rather small size
arranged so that they can be worked by the
aims and a large fan-shaped tail OF very
light construction connected to the body by
basket work, so that it stands at an angle oi
about three degrees with the horizontal. Mr.
Spencer does not profess to fly in the ordinary
sense OF the term. He uses his apparatus by
taking short, quick run, this run being
continued until. by pressure OF the
AIR against the under surface OF the tail.
he is raised from the ground. He then, by
using the wings, maintains the momentum
which he has acquiled as long as possible,
and is thus enabled to skim along at short
distance above the ground Mar. Spencer
commenced his operations by practicinS long
jumps without the aid of apparatus, and he
then commenced using the wings, and finally
added the tail. BY continued practice, and
1. ON time to time making alterations in his
apparatus, Mr.. Spencer has been enabled to
extend considerably his early flights or
" skins" and we were informed by him few
days ago that he had lately accomplished a
horizontal fight of $50 feet, starting and
alshling at the ground level. Mr.. Spencer is
now engaged in completing a new apparatus,
which he hopes to finish in time tor the exhi-
bition OF tie Aeronautlcal Society at the
Crystal Palace, and we look forward with
some interest to witnessing his performance.

London and Paris.

The comparative statistics OF London and
Paris present few features OF difference
which are significant of the different charac-
ters oil the Two communities. The City OF
Paris contains about 1000 600 of inhabitants
living in $4,000 houses. London has 5000 900
OF people, and about 100000 houses,-the
proportion of people to honse being five
times larger than in the English capital,
The London average is eight, and the
Paris average forty to each dwelling The
above shows the English preference tor sepa-
rate residences, contrasted with the natuI al
ly gregarious habits OF the French. A Grand
democratic feature of French society-the
strongest of all, in tact-is the Gu tom of
people OF wealth and station living i'm one
part OF house. while poor struggling folks
occupy the upper stories OF the same. Res
pectable society in London shudders at such
thing.

idle for the loyal men OF the country to at
