been more successful in the former d.

nipulations Of wings us will drive a
person forward, either by muscle or
power from apparatus strapped TO the
body, may be learned eventually, or
the future Dacdalus may rely upon
some entirely separate device for pro-
pulsion and retain the wings merely
for support and balancing. In either
case, all attempts TO find out what can
really be accomplished with these lat
ter appliances possesses interest for
scientists and the public. Herr o.
Lilienthal, of Steglitz NEAR Berlln),
Germany, has been experimenting in
this direction with contrivances that
