The attention of that portion of a oontiding
public which has escaped the visitation of tue
Fool-killer, is respectfully invited to "a considera-
tien of the merits OF the Univef -sal-lonBatc
Aerial Navigation Company, (unlimited),
corporation just organized under the volun-
tnry association statutes OF lliIiiana. The head
quarters of the company will be found in their
office, No. 364 Catchem street, Indianapolis,
Ind, and at the branch office i'll Rotten Row,
London. England. The company take pleasure
IN announcing that they have become the
owners by proper assignment OF the patents
issued in America and Europe to
Ariel Skinner. esq, the most remarkable in
ventor of the age, securing to them and their as
stgnees IN bankruptcy the sole and exclusive
right OF maintaining transcontilfental lines OF
aerial saloon cars fer the transportation OF
freight and passengers through the air upon
simple, swift and safe plan
1t has long been well known that the earth
travels from west to east in her orbit at the rate
OF about 175 miles "a minute and that it is only
the eentflpetal attraction Of the planet, balanc-
ing the centrifugal force, which prevents men,
women and children from being thrown forward
in that direction through the air at a correspond
ing rate of speed. Incredible as IL may seem to
those who have not witnessed the expert
ments conducted under the auspices of
the cempany's engineers; Mr.. Skinner has sue
ceeded IN constructing powerful oondensiRg
engine nf 1t may be so called. by means of
which the oentrlpstal' force of the earth may be
diminished, and again increased, or, in other
words, regulated at pleasure, so that a car or
full machines wild be carried forward by the
earth's motion alone to any desired point in the
with it's cargo and passengers, to unluad and re-
load for other points. The speed being great,
all routes will be from west to east, and, ss it
costs nothing for propeling power, goods or
passengers can be carried around the world as
oheaply as between points nearer together.
The experiments thus far made have demon
stratsd the entire feasibility of their astounding
scheme of transportation, and it may well be
said that the era OF railways and steamships is
approaching Its end. On recent trial trip the
palatial aerial car 'rsRemallin" was transported
from the Bay of Fundy to Lands End IN twenty
four minutes, tAirty seconds the car rising at
first with gentle motion to the height of half
mile above the earth, and held there for some
time by order of the attentive Captain FOOlem
and the engineer. Mr.. Pullem, in order to give
the company of invited guests an opportunitv
to view the wonderful landscape below and the
cloud scenery above, after which, at n given
signal, the graceful ship moved swift
The landing or descent on the English coast was
made without any difficulty. and the officers and
guests we've entertained that evening at ban
quet given in honor of the event by the repre-
sentative of the Duke of Cornwall. The return
trip was made, by complete decentralization
of the globe, and occupied about four hours, the
machinery being slowed up at Rome, Hong Kong
and San Francisco, to allow the guests views OF
the countries under their feet.
This enterprise has created the greatest excite
ment in the commercial centers of America
and Europe, and advantage was taken of the
very liberal laws of Indiana, above referred
to, which are construed TO allow anything
to he ncorporated under them, to locallze and
legalize the existence OF this powerful corpora
ton.

ceved at par In payment The gentlemen con-
trolling this enterprise are all men OF the first
water, and on account OF the strlngeney of the
laws not one OF them is capitalist, the most
affiuent being assessed only for personal prop
erty consisting OF two calico shirts aud grip
sack.
