Science

The use and great improvement
of parachutes recently have shown
that there are much greater possi-
biIities of life-saving In connection
with airplahe accidents than was
thought at first.
The inventor Of the parachute
was Leonardo ia Vinci. probably the
most universal genius the human
race has produced. He was born
forty years before Columbus discov-
cred America in the italian village
of Vinci, from which he took his
name. While he is known all over
the world for his paintings. especial.
" the Mona Lisa, it is probable that
his greatest work was in the field
of sciences
His anatomical drawings are
models. He was skilled in surgery
and medicine. He was a pioneer in
modern chemistry. In astronomy he
saw the truth $50 years before
Calico was tried for heresy when
he claimed the earth moved about
the sun. Although gunpowder was
just beginning to be used, he in
vented a machine gun and a mortar
for throwing bombs. He announced
the principles of aviation that stand
today and made a model for a fly
ing machine.

It is easy TO do it.
Just get a group Of simple figures,
look at them for few seconds, close
your eyes and then proceed to draw
them from memory.
If your work resembles the orig

the engine of your brain.
They are housed in the lower
