Magnetic Power in Aerial Navigation

Magnetic Power in Aerial NaviGatioD-
Boston, Oct. 21.-An entirely new
scheme looking to aerial navigation
and flight has been suggested by A. w.
Nitsch, of this city. 1t is such decid-
ed departure from all the propositions
heretofore advanced for utilizing the
atmosphere for purposes Of transit as
to command serious attention from
scientists and others to whom it has
been presented.
Nitsch is of the opinion that the
subtle magnetic attraction that holds
the needle of the mariners compass
with answering fidelity to the north
can be utilized in magnified form for
mans convenience. profit and pleasure.
Accepting the theory advanced that
vast deposits of magnetic ore exist in
the immediate vicinity of the north

currents distributed over the globe, and
that it is the attraction of this thus far
unbounded field that draws with magic
