First Flying Machine.


The first flying machine of which
history preserves any record was the
dove of Archytas" Archytas lived
in Tarentun,, Italy, and was contem-
porary of Plato. The account Of his
flying dove comes to US from Aulus
Gellius, who tells US that it was
formed of wood and so contrived that
by certain mechanical art it had tho
power to fly, so nicely was it balanced
and put in motion by hidden and In
closed air. Just what this mRans Is,
of course, to a large extent uncertain,
but that the "do9e" was some sort OF
machine that was capable of flying
is unquestioned and beyond doubt It
il the earliest record Of such machine
that we have. --.s.

PURIFYING Air In Rooms,

Prof. Charles Richet of Paris has
devised a means for purifying the air
In rooms His apparatus is an air
filter which mechanically sterflizes
air. Very fine drops of glycerine are
scattered along the walls Of a cylin-
der containing a suction fan. Each
particle of air drawn in by the fan is
freighted with glycerine, and hence
tends to drop, thereby carrying with
It the germs, dust and microbes with
which it may be laden. -. --...< -
