THE PARACHUTE.
Leonardo da vinci Was the First One

Credible accounts exist Of an English
Benedict1ne monk, Oliver Of Malmes..
bury, in the eleventh century having
tried to fly by precipitatins 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 tail. which would have help
ed preserve his equilibrium and made
his descent gentler one.
In the sixteenth century Leonardo da
Vinci first demonstrated that a bird,
which Is heavier than the air, sustains
itself, advances In the air, "by render
Ing the fluid denser where II passes
than where it does not pass" In order
to fly 1t has to fix its point of support
on the air. Its 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 rrove that Leonardo
occupied himself, ike Oliver of Malmes-
bury, with giving man the power to ny
BY the assistance Of wings suitably
fixed to the body. .u
We owe TO Leonardo also the tuven-
t1on OF the parachute, which he de-
scribed In the following terms: III a
man had q pavilion each side OF which
was fifteen braces wide and twelve
braces high he might cast himself from
any height whatever without fear Of
danger" It may be said, too. Of Leo
nardo da Yinci that be was the first to
suggest the idea Of the screw propeller.

Those who are watching the prog
ress of the merger negotiations do
not regard this hitch as a
serious menace to their successful
outcome. 1t was expected, of course
that there would be much sparring
by the various interests invited to
come into the merger for the best
possible terms.
Utah Copper and Nevada Con-
solidated are the two most important
copper producers of the Guggen-
helm group and should the former
refuse to go into the consolidation
those interests would be able to
contribute only n large producer.
1t is believed certain, however, that
the organizers will be able to bring
Utah Copper into the fold.
While no statements have been
given out by the organizers as to the
proposed capitalization of the on
solidation, it is said, that it will be
in the neigborhood of $500 100000
and that there will be an issue of
$500, 100000 of six per cent pre-
ferred stock. 1t is probable that
these details are not based on any
