THE History and Practice Of
Aerostation, by Tiberius Cayallo.
London, l7S5. was recently sold for
SIG. Copies in good condition Of
any old book on early flying ma.
chimes are worth acquiring, while
the hunt through old newspaper
on the subject well rewards the
collector.
But the keen collector must look
for illusions to the possibility OF
flying earlier than the end Of the
eighteenth century. The conquest
Of the air had always fascinated
men of science from Archytas. who
flew a pigeon-shaped machine,
partly by mechanism, partly with
the aid of an aura or gas-sptrit,
when Xenophon was leading his
warriors to the shores Of the Black
Sea.
There was a. flying man in the
days of Nero who flew across the
river: there were folks in medieval
times who, st. Remigius tells us,
created clouds which rose to heaven
by means of a pot with a little
imp enclosed
Most authorities agree in at.
tributing the discovery of the true
principles of aerostation to Roger
Bacon, who. in the thirteenth cen
tury,, wrote Of the possibilities of
both lighter-than-air and heavier
than.air machine. Thus he describes
his aerial vessel, which must be
a large hollow globe Of copper or
other suitable metal, wrought ex-
tremely thin to have it as, light al
possible. It must then be filled
with ethereal air or liquid fire.
when 1t will float like vessel in
the water" His conception of the
aeroplane of the future: There
may be made some flying instru-
ment so that a man sitting in the
middle of the instrument and turn
ing some mechanism, may put in
motion some artificial wings which
may beat the air like a bird fly
Ing. Froissart relates that an
adviser assured the Count de Bou-
gogne in 1888 that he could con-
vey soldiers into besieged citadel
by means of the air. He was
looked upon as being possessed of
"a devil and put to death.
A sketch of a flying man by
Leonardo da Vinci, 1895. suggests
a parachute. and he describes a
pavilion Of cloth with ropes at
each corner. The same idea is
borne out in the work of Fauste
Veranzio. published in Venice in
1917: the parachute of the great
GARNER Is foreshadowed, and the
suggestion that with such an in.
strument man may jump from
a high tower and alight gently on
the ground" brings the uses Of
the parachute wildly before us,
for cit was first used as a means
of safety in the case of fire or
collapse of the early balloons. An
other talk on ancient balloon litera-
ture will follow.
