 FLY AS BIRD

Paris, Sept. 1S.-Practical tests of the human bird suit, invented by Dr. Maguan, will be made at Dieppe in a few weeks. The apparatus which Dr. Maguan has constructed to at tach to the human body weighs less than 15O pounds. It consists of two wings less than a yard long and a fuseIage and tail.
 For years I have been observing birds and their flight" explains the inventor. "I have discovered noth- ing. "I have simply observed and noted my observations. It is possible that l have made mistakes in my deductions" Dr. Magnan describes the results of his years of work to the editor of the sporting newspaper L'Auto.
 In the first place gliding flight and sailing flight are too often con fused. Gliding signifies to take ad, vantage of an angle of fall; sailing means to depart from a given point and. profting by the wind, to reach a height superior to that of the start.
