Talking Of flying machines" said
the French professor, Jacques Dc
Vaucanson invented in the eighteenth
century several flying machines. But
they were very little. You may read
all about them in D'Alembert and in
the Geographic Universelle. One was
q fly that would start from vaucan-
sons hand, circle around a room and
return to its starting point again. An
other was q pigeon that made circles
in the air Of 100 yards diameter.
''Vaucanson's automatone we're in-
credible. His best was a duck. The
bird waddled about, and when 1t came
to grain. picked It up and swallowed
It. 1t muddied water with its beak as
ducks always do, quacked and swan.
He made snakes that Kissed, swal-
lowed frogs, crawled on the ground
and coiled about your arm. All his
secrets died with him. Otherwise we'd
have been flying long ago"

Already the war horses sniff the
