Figures Kegarding flight.

Among recen investigations which
go 10 encourage believers in future
flying machines are those prov.
ing that greatly exaggerated ideas
of the force exerted by birds have
been held, and that large birds
have wings proportionately much
smaller than those of small flying
creatures. Certain insects ilutter enor.
mously large wings at the rate of 200
or 300 vibrations per second, while
the pelican flaps it relatively insignif.
cant area of wing surface only once
per second. The vulture is 100 times
as large as the swallow. but its wings
are only IL times as large; and the
Australian crane weighs 1900, 900
times as much as the gnat. while the
later has $50 times AS much wing sur.
face per unit of weight.
The eagle in full flight, instead Of
using l3 horse power as was formerly
computed, exerts only a fraction Of
| horse power. A pigeon flying 2,200
feet per minute ncarly Is miles per
hoar) exerts l-20Oth Of a horse power
per pound, equal to . - horse power
for a flying machine weighing | ton
at Is miles an hour, or 80 horse power
per ton weight at 80 miles an hour.
That mechanical science will be equal
to adjusting these figures TO the re-
guirements Of air travelling, declares
DR.. Andrew Wilson, seems only a
reasonable deduction from facts as they
stand.

Early Life Of . Philadelphia Astronomsr.

David Rittenhouse was born in Rox-
borough township, near Germantown,
Pa, April S. 1872, and died in Phila-
delphis. June 20, 1896. He was de-
scended from g family Of paper max.
ers residing nj Arnhcim, Guelderland.
His great grandfather, William Rit-
tenhou,e, a Mennonite preacher, came
from Holland with his family in 1857
IS, was the first Mennonite minister
in Pennsylvania, and established the
first paper mill in this country at the
spot where David was born.
David was early put to work ON the
farm, and was blowing at II years
Of age. An uncle dying had left him
a chest Of tools and u few books on
arithmetic aud geometry. with some
man cript mathepatical calculations.
These furnished palatable food to his
mind, and his biographers tell of his
having covered the handle Of his pillow
and the fences around the field with
his workings Of the problems which
they SCI before him.
As tho uncle mentioned above was
his mothers brother, il is inferred that
he inherited his genius from his
mothers side. His mechanical talent
