El aro de hero 6 MADEIRA, y de Pc

un aro de mas de cinco metros de cin-
cunferencia, y el palillo que usan los
|nifloS para hacer rodar SuS aros es reem
plazado por TN palo un POGO mas largo
de 70 cent1metros, que lleva en- un
extreme una peque6a polea con la hen
didura forrada de caucho.
En- dicha endidura encaja el aro, y
por el frotamiento que produce sobre el
misrslo al empujarlo con el palo, sc po-
ne Ell arc en- movimiento.
Como Ell desarrollo Gel arc eS de Gin

Ell gigantesco aro que Sc emp1ea es
de MADEIRA curvada, y por tanto de po-

Aplioaciones de la

Ia atenci6n acerca de un invento de
grand1simo intercs cient1fco, y que
desde m1ltiples puntos de vista, podrS
tener aplicaciones numerosas en- la in
dustria. Ia aviacion, la aerostacion, la
Marina, Ia guerra, la navegacion sub
marina, Ell lanzamiento de torpedos
et., etc.
Sc trata de un aparato imaginado
por nueStro com mpatriota seflor Torres
ingeniero de caminos, el cual permite
mediante puntos y rayas an nalogos los
del telegrafo Morse, dirigir distancia
dos 6 mas motores que pueden marchar
simultaneamente.
De este modo Sc llega a obrar "a

sin hilos, sobre el propulsor y el timon
de un barco, de un torpedo, de I'm at1-
tomovil, de un globo dirigible, que en-
tai case no necesitan ir montados por
nadie.
El aparato que Ell Sr. Torres presen-
to a la Academia ha sido construido por
complete en- ell laboratorio de mecanica
de la Sorbona, y Ia parte de telegraffa
sin hilos ha sido estudiada por Mr.. Oc-
tavio Rochefort, de Ia casa Morse. La
Marcia parece perfecta, y los academi-
COS todos admiraron ia prontitud y Sc
