THE PARACHUTE.
Leonardo da Vinei Was the First One
to Suggest 1t.


Credible accounts exist of an English
Benedictine monk, Oliver of Malmes
bury, in the eleventh century having
tried to fly by precipitating himself
from the height of tower with the
assistance Of wings attached to his
arms and his feet 1t is said that, hav-
ing gone along little way. he fell and
broke his legs. He attributed his acct
dent to failure to provide his appara-
tus with a tail, which would have help
ed preserve his equilibrium and made
his descent a gentler one.
In the sixteenth century Leonardo da
Vfnci first demonstrated that a bird,
which is heavier than the air, sustains
itself. advances in the air, "by render
ing the fluid denser where 1t passes
than where 1t does not pass" In order
to fly it has to fix its point of support
on the air. It's wings in the descending
stroke exert a pressure from above
down. the reaction of which from be-
low up forces the center Of gravity OF
its body to ascend at each instant to
the height at which the bird wishes to
maintain it. Some sketches which have
come down to US prove that Leonardo
occupied himself, like Oliver Of Malmes-
bury, with giving man the power to ny
by the assistance Of wings suitably
fixed to the body.
We owe to Leonardo also the inven-
ton of the parachute, which he de-
scribed In the following terms: IF
man had pavilion each side Of which
was fifteen braces wide and twelve
braces high he might cast himself from
any height whatever without fear or
danger" 1t may be said, too, OF Leo
nardo da vinci that be was the first to
suggest the idea of the screw propeller.
