the king OF Portugal asking for the exclusive
right to build these machines
This real pioneer was European, but
South Americana priest in Brazil named Barth-
olomew Laurens. Lourenco. He went to Lis
bon in Portugal to make experiments and to lay
the matter before the king in person. According
to tradition. the inventor made sort OF
ascent in the presence of the king, else sent
up his machine alone but this is not certain. But
at any rate, the k.nS of Portugal up-todate
rather ahead OF his time, and he thought
we'll of the whole continuance and its inventor
that he appointed the latter senior professor of
mathematics in the University OF Coimbra and
granted him pension OF 100000 refs to perfect
his invention
The record of this interesting inventor and his
contrivance is contained in rare old newspaper.
the Evening Post, published in London twice a
week in 1909. The only copies of this newspaper
eXtant-three in number-are in the British
scum library. They contain not only an account
of the invention but also illustration thereof,
which is presented herewith. The illustration
shows a strange sort OF Observation-Disclosures mpos-
sible in appearances
A translation of the inventors address to the
king of Portugal also published in the Even
ing Post in 100 1t is unique document, espe-
cally in its claims for the flying contrivance
The inventor had the idea do modern in
ventors of aerial shps-the idea of utilizing it in
warfare-for he says it may be used to Send
Orders and Conclusions of Councils to Generals"
He also says: places beseged may be supplyd
with Necessares and Succors Moreover may
transport out OF such Places what please, and
the Enemy hinder it.
