The First FIying Machine.

Roger Bacon, in his writings in the
thirteenth century, predicted the use
of the balloon and flying machine. 1t
is said that Jean Baptiste Dante, an
Italian mathematician, crossed Lake
Trasimeno on artificial wings in 1400.
Leonardo Da Vinci, in 1900, made
some experiments in aerial screws,
designed parachute, and left some
sketches of mechanical wings in a
notebook. A famous bishop, named
Wilkin, in the seventeenth century
wrote on the subject of artificial
flight, and was SO sure of the practical
bility of it that he declared the time
would come when it would be as COM
mon thing to hear a man, when
starting on journey, call for his
wings as for his boots and spurs. In
1909 Friar de Gusman, of Portugal,
asked and received assistance from
the king in plans he had for con-
structing flying machine. About
the middle of the seventeenth century
a Frenchman named Besnier con-
structed a pair of oscillating wings,
with which he made several expert
ments. He tried them first in jump
ing from stool, then from a table,
then from barn, when his progress
was interrupted by his falling and
breaking his leg. In France the Mar
quis de Bacquev. e, in 1742, attempt
ed to cross the Seine on wings. He
launched himself from a terrace and
few for short distance, then fell,
landing in a washerwoman's barge,
breaking his leg, which discouraged
him from further experiments in that
direction.-Demorest's Magazine for
October
