SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20, 1870.
The interest which was awakened
two or three years ago in the subject
of aerial navigation by the partial sue
cess of the Ayitor is likely to be re-
vived by the neal completion Of a
flying machine which gives better
promise of answering It's inventors
expectations than anysimilar invention
that we know Of, from the time Of the
fight Of Icarus on wax wings to that
of Gambetta in a balloon. The only
drawback to the success Of all the fly
ing machines Of which we have any
account appears to have been that they
would not fly, and in this respect the
present invention is an improvement
upon them, for though 1t neither moves
with the grace Of a swan nor the swift
ness OF a swallow, 1t not only does
move, but has a p~ropelling and guiding
power In addition. The machine Is
sustained by an ordinary balloon, to
which Is attached a strong framework
for the support of the machinery. AT
the top of this framework Is an arm
and shaft, and at each end Of the shaft
are reversible fans worked BY pulleys.
By changing the angle Of inclination
Of these fans the engine Is enabled to-
turn the vessel, steer it for any point,
or give 1t an upward or downward
movement, MS may be desired. A
double upright engine furnishes the
motive power to the shaft, which, by
moving up and down, like the walking
beam Of a steamship, ~revolyes the fans
with great velocity and gives the vessel
Its force of propulsion. The machine
has been on private exhibition for tile
last few days, and those who pretend
to understand such matters say that It's
inventor has succeeded In making Inn
portant discoveries In the science of
aerial locomotion. Not being posted
on the subject, l al only avow, like
Gallileo, that sit moves" which l be-
lieye Is a little more than any other
aerial machine has yet done.
