chine of his own patent called the parakite.
1t is thirty feet high and thirty feet wide.
As soon as the sail was fixed over the frame
work and the front or windward point of
the parakite raised, so as to allow the wind
to touch the machine on it's under surface,
form and showed symptoms of rising. The
wind was blowing at the rate of not more
than two miles an hour, but with this
slight breeze the @ronaut was carried into
the air. The idea is to put it into practical
utility for war purposes, engineering, and
signalling, where it is necessary to attain
lofty elevations. The machine covers an
area of 700 superficial feet, and it's entire
weight is 100 pounds. The inventor as
serts that it can be used successfully in
any wind, ranging between fonr and forty
miles an hour, and an altitude of from GOO
to 900 feet can be attained.
