 An adventunOes Aeronaut succeeded
 h flying couple of miles in he s,Ib
 urbs of New York, with ths s;d of $
 huge masculine that had yvings and thas
 seemed to use them with sotssideyabls
 success For something like a genera

 and finally had the satisfaction of see ing it's great wings beat the air over Coney Island and carry it a consider able distance before It was thouRhi well to let t rest.
 Asa result of this there has been or

 necessary.
 Even the Ragust academy of sci- eRces. which once every week discus ses subjects thai most people know nothing shout and whose members hasow pretty much everything thai
 noTtAI man ought to know, ia EAkins some eognizancs of the sff2ir at issue, and in quiet wsy are discussing the question as to whether or not man will be able to hy. Many of the learned professors insist that, as man has by the belpo Of machinery been able to propel himself through the waiey. there is no reason why he should uol But many naore of the professors shaks their heads m solemn negation when this argument is advanced.
 Still the Scotch inventors success has created an impression. His hy- ing machine Is cigar shaped, some So feet m length snd s2 feet in diameter. Its wings work exactly like those of . blrd by tiIe &id of p-opsller worked by electricity, and the paSsengeF is carrsed just az ss. esSle e --!s= ;;ss ;;:ss ffTsJ, 1t is 2 peealisF affair, but has been mere successful than anything Of it's stiiid, and hence the arguments among the scientific profesSors. Most of these professors believe that man 8ili be able io hy by Dschanixa only when that mechanism Is made after that Of tne bird One Of these learned men. discussing the msttsr the other day expressed this opinion. lie said that from the earliest time the dominant wish ot man had been to fly after the manner and method og the bird. Most models Of the air ships that have been attempted hare been after the bird S,f flight. and particularly of the sea bird, whose ability foS continual light owing to the power Of Tighten ing its body, Is well known.
 Should man ever fiy successfully. said the learned man. The will have to do II by means of mechanism modelled after the elastic and muscular form of the sea bird. [" 70
 The authorities tell US that the fly. ing machine Is of prehiStorical origin. We are told also that some 4o0 yearz 5. .. a wooden pigeon was made to hy with considerable success As thiy exploit was accomplished moro thas 5, ,zo0 years before the trial of cuI Scotch inventors machine We have not much to boast of
 Just what will come of the discns sion at the Academy of Science TO mains to be seen Nothing at all ma, come of 1t in the end except a gooS deal Of theoIizing. But in inc mean. tune Patrick C. Campbell, fine doughty Sootchman, who Is the inventor of < mnchine thai made the successful fight through the sir, is gOing right ahead and IS terribly in earnest. He has worked nearly all his life on his irIven. to's, and HOW, backed as he IS by { capitalized company, he thinks hs sees success ahead. New York Mail and Expsess
