AsropIane's Circular Flight.
Henry Farman has continued his
marvellous flights at Paris with his
famous aeroplane built by the Voisin
brothers on the general plan of the
Chanute soarer. Before a great and
wildly enthusiastic throng of people he
repeatedly maneuvered his machine
one kilometer in a complete circle, re-
turning to the point Of departure. This
was regarded as a demonstration Of
practical aerial fight by machines
heavier than air or without the aid of
gas bags. The machine first rolled
slowly along the ground on its four
pneumatic tired wheels, then as the
speed increased from the action of the
propellers the big winged thing shot
off into the air at gentle angle, all
the time Mr.. Farman steering with
apparent ease and confidence and keep
ing an even keel and steady course
to the turning point and back.
Differ About Saturn's Rings.
The view advanced by Professor
Percival Lowell that the KNOTS re-
Gently discovered in the rings Of Sat
urn indicate that the rings are falling
is not accepted by Professor Simon
Newcomb Of Washington, who says
that Strive more than half century
ago propounded the theory of the fall
ing rings Of Saturn based upon early
drawings compared with late ones.
Newcomb says the rings are now view
ed almost edgewise, so that it is i'm
possible to distinguish one from an
other He prefers the theory put forth
by Clerke Maxwell sixty years ago that
the small satellites which compose the
rings sometimes crowd together. Pro-
fessor Brashe Of Pittsburg agrees with
NeWcomb.
