The Art OF Flying.

It may perhaps not be very widely
known that there exists in England q
society with the very laudable mission of
solving the problem of human flight.
Such, however. is the fact; the Aeronauti.
cal Society of London is now in the tenth
year of its life, and if it has attained no
great measure of prosperity, it yet possesses
sufficient vitality to hold an annual meet
ing and publish an annual report. This
report was recently issued, and from it we
learn the present state OF the art.
To the enthusiastic mind it would seem
that the progress made in the art Of flying
has been of the smallest. Several flying
toys of few pounds weight have been
constructed, and one inventor has sue
ceeded in making a tiny steam engine
which can propel itself along a smooth
surface by means of screw planes acting
against the air. How near this comes to
flying, the inventor does not explain. In
France we learn what is considered still
greater success has been achieved. Not
only has new flying machine been made,
but bird has been constructed that flies
about twenty yards by the instrumentality
of pair of Tapping wings and an india
rubber spring. This 10 the best that can
be shown for the past year, and it certain
ly looks very much as if aeronautics--so
far as regards flight by muscular or me-
chanical poVer-were at a stand-still.
OF recent progress in ballooning, the re-
port makes little or no mention. All the
efforts of the society seem to be devoted
to the attempt to fly as birds do, that is,
to devise mechanism by the power of
which, acting against the air, = weight
may be raised. It may be fairly said that
the members have done some service in
having oil but demonstrated the impossi-
bility Of their succeeding.-Chieaoo Jour.

A Curious Collection Of Fossils.

A. L. Porter, veteran from the North,
who recently arrived in this city, has .
curious collection of fossils carefully
packed with sawdust in travelling trunk
at the Western hotel, on Broadway, where
he is now sojourning. The collection
embraces an Indian stone war-club, =
stone pestle belonging to the same race of
people, and gritty stone chisef used by
them in the manufacture of their stone
implements. 1t also contains . large
number OF specimens of petrifed wood,
fossil leaves in sandstone, rocks bearing q,
striking resemblance to- petrified human
and animal skulls, which the owner be-
lieves they are, and 4 smooth bowlder
which presents the appearance Of a pet
rltied land-turtle. The shape Of the lat
ter docs correspond closely to that animal.
The right fore foot or ripper is very dis
tinctly outlined, and on the left side,
which has been considerably worn by the
action of water, is a small indentation,
corresponding in place and character to
that Of the toes Of the right foot. In
front and beneath what is supposed to
have been the shell is a hollow, CORE
ponding with that of turtles front,
whose head had been wrung off. The
edges of the shell, if it be what MIR. Por-
ter believes, have been worn off by the
action of water. On the top and bottom
of the stone are sundry markings, which
MIR. Porter thinks have been made by
edged tools, and are the hieroglyphics of
race now extinct. Arrow heads, glass
globules on the surface of pieces of lava,
and pieces of bone of an extinct animal
complete the collection. The fossils have
been gathered by Mr.. Porter during his
wanderings through Washington Terri
tory and Oregon-on the Wentache, Up
per Columbia and Snake Rivers.-San

A Locomotive Sidewalk.

One of the most singular objects to be
displayed at the Centennial Exhibition
will be section of travelling sidewalk, an
American invention for solving the prob
lem Of rapid transit in cities. This trav-
cling sidewalk, as 1t is generally called,
but more properly an endless railway train,
will be half mile in length, operated by
stationary engines and run at . speed
Of from fifteen to twenty miles an hour.
The transfer seats and all other appliances
will be of the same size as those intended
for general use, by which means passen-
gers may get on or off the train with ease
and safety without Stacking the speed of
the train. A company is organizing in
this city with : capital Of $10O, 900 for the
purpose Of displaying this unique ma
chine. Among its corporators are Peter
Cooper, George Hoffman, Samuel G.
Courtney, Capt. Spencer and r. A. Ter
hume. The whole work is expected to
cost about SIS. GOO and will be operated
for exhibition, with charge to those
who ride upon it. This move. mode of
travelling has attracted much attention of
late, and charters for putting it into prac-
tice in New York city were twice passed
by both branches of the Legislature but
vetoed by Gov. Dix a being an expert

Internal Machines.

The use of internal machines for whole.
sale destruction, in order to gain insur-
ance, is of comparatively recent date, as
the old and common employment of these
devices was, and still is in q measure, to
destroy individuals obnoxious to the per-
petratOr of the crime. In 1888, it will be
remembered, Fieschi devised an ingen-
ious arrangement of twenty-five gun bar
rels (perhaps the prototype Of the modern
mitrailleuse), which were discharged all
at once at the object of his hatred, Louis
Philippe, without accomplishing the pur-
pose intended, however. The Orsini
bombs, designed for the slaughter of Louis
Napoleon and his family, were small iron
shells made in halves and screwed to-
gether. The interior was filled with pow
der and the outside completely studded
with nipples and percussion caps, 80 that
it would be impossible to throw down the
bomb without some cap exploding the
charge. These, when tried. killed sew.

was Comptroller Green, Of this city. The
arrangement received by this gentleman,
luckily without injury, was small, limo

The interior of the latter was lined with
sand-paper, against which the heads of
several matches of the parlor or explosive
kind were placed. On Withdrawing the
lid the friction of the sand paper would

Seal Flesh.

DR.. AHorner, surgeon to the Pandora.
speaking of the Greenland Esquimaux,
says: sFrom the length Of time these
people have inhabited this cold country
one nataasally expects them to have found
some particular food, we'll adapted by its
nutritious and heat giving properties, to
supply all the wants of such . rigorous
climate; and such is found to be the case,
for there is no food more delicious to the
taste of the Esquimaux than the flesh of
the seal, and especially that of the common
seal lph0ca uitulinG). But. it is not only the
human inhabitants who find It has such
excellent qualities, but all the larger car
nivora that are able to prey, on seals.
Seals meat is so unlike the flesh to which
we Europeans are accustomed that it is
not surprising that We should have some
difficulty at first in making up our minds
to taste it; but when once that difficulty
is overcome everyone praises its flavor,
tenderness, digestibility, juiciness, and its
decidedly warming after effects. Its color
is almost black, from the large amount of
venous blood it contains, except in very
young seals, and is, therefore, very singu-
lar-looking, and not inviting, while its
flavor is unlike anything else, and cannot
be described except by saying ode
licious!'. To suit European palates there
are certain precautions to be taken before
it is cooked. 1t has to be cut
in thin slices, carefully removing any
fat or blubber, and then soaked in salt
water for from twelve to twenty -four hours
to remove the blood, which gives it .
slightly tishy flavor. The blubber has
such strong taste that it requires an
Arctic winters appetite to find out how
good it is. That of the bearded seal (phoca
6arbata) is most relished by epicures. The
daintiest 'morsel OF q seal is the liver,
which requires no soaking, but may be
eaten as soon as the animal is killed. The
heart is good eating, while the sweet
bread and kidneys are not to be despised.
The usual mode of cooking seals
meat is to stew it with a pieces Of fat ba-
con, when an excellent rich gravy is
formed, or it may be fried with few
pieces Of pork.
:"1he Esquimaux make use of every part
Of the seal, and, 1t is said, make an ex-
cellent soup by putting its blood and any
odd scraps of meat inside. the stomach,
heating the contents, and then devouring
tripe, blood and all with the greatest
relish. For my own part, would sooner
eat seals meat than mutton or beet, and
am not singular in my liking for it, as
several Of the officers on board the, Pan
dora shared the same opinion a. myself"
