A boat capable Of flying in the air as

The winged boat, the experiments with
which have been very satisfactory, is to
be placed on trial at the Crystal Palace
next month, and may become popular
form Of public amusement.
The scheme Is for the boat to take fly
ing leap through the air after rushing
down a water chute, ana to comfortably
alight on the Crystal Palace lake for a
sail.
A model of the full-slzed machine was
shown in working order to an Express
representative yesterday by Major Baden-
Powell. The boat Is provided with out.

why 1t should not be constructed to carry
passengers. The shape of the boat Is
after the manner of a Thames punt, with

LISBON. Nay Z


The hero CT Portugal to-day is roor
mechanic from Villa Move de Gaya, near
oporto, who has been nicknamed Ferra-
menti, and has distinguished, himself as a
self-taught and very reckless balloonist.
A few days ago he arrived here, accom-
panied by his wife and slster-in-law, and
bringing balloon of his own construc-
ton made of ordinary cotton fabric, such
as is used In women's dresses.
The authorities at Oporto had refused
him permission to make any but a captive
ascent in his frail balloon, and this was
duly made at the Crystal Palace, Oporto,
In the presence Of thousands Of specta-
tors. But when the car threatened to
catch In some tree tops Ferranacntt, amid
thunders of applause. dehed the law and
the dangers that threatened him and cut
the rope.
The balloon rose to a height Of 46oo feet
sailed slowly over the city and descended
without the least accident on large field
some distance from Oporto.
Soon after he arrived here Permanent
fixed to-day for another ascent with MS
sister-in-law who insisted on going up
with him, because, said she, she sewed
the seams of the balloon and had right
to try 1t.
Great popular excitement prevailed this
morning, the daring venture being looked
forward to with the utmost eagerness. IN
consequence of strong gale, however
the authorities forbadehthe daring pair TO
enter the balloon, which went up, unten-
anted, and, borne along by the violence OF
the wind, was carried out to sea.
