A Wisconsin correspondent Of the Scisn-
tifc American, believing that steam must
eventually be used for flying machines, sug-
gests that sufficient lifting hold upon the air
to carry q small engine and boiler might be
obtained with two parachutes. He would
place them one above the other, with valves
similar to those in . birds wing to retard
downward motion, while the lifting and pro-
pelling power would be obtained from the
upper parachute, from which would be
worked a long rudder, also to form check
valve to the upper one; the fitting of the lat
ter to furnish the propelling power.
One of the defunct industries of Detroit 10
the manufacture of dog oil, which, it IL oHly
fair to say, never reached colossal proper
tions. 1t was made by = man named Blakely,
under arrangement with the guardians Of the
dog pound, and was purchased chiefly by vet
erinary surgeons, who used it in the COM
pounding of liniment. But three dollars .
gallon was all that they would pay for it, and
at that price the business did not prosper.
1t might be supposed that the dogs Of Detroit
would breath freer now that this enterprise
has collapsed, but in reality It makes little
difference to them, for they were always
drowned before their surrender to Mr..
