Aerial Navigation.

If all goes well, the next meeting of the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain, held under the presidency of the Duke of Argyle, will be unusually interesting, for many claimants are coming forward toshow that they have solved the long-propounded problem of the best mode of constructing a flying machine. The experiments are to be shortly made, under due supervision, at the Crystal Palace. Mr. W. H. Sim- mons, the wronaut, of Peckham Rye, has constructed a navigable balloon on the model of an eagle, with two great wings, moved by a powerful lever. The ‘air boat” is the name given by the inventor, Mr. Philip Brandon, to ap- other machine for navigating the air witbout the aid of gas, hydrogen steam, or hot air. Another competitor is Mr. Chas. Spencer, long known as a practi- cal gymnast apparatus manufacturer,

study on the development of his xrial machine, with which he has already made many successful experiments. Mr. Spencer’s model exhibits a com bi- nation of the body of a flying fish and the wings of a dragon fly, the tail bear- ing « resemblance of a boy’s paper dart. The entire length is twenty feet, and the weight only twenty-five ponnds. There are two rudders, one vertical and the other horizontal, the one for turn- ing right or left, and the other for moving up or down.——Montreal Star.
