Experiments With Queer
Devices in Ancient Times.
New York.—Although authenticated
records show that man first rode the
air successfully only 146 years ago.
aviation as an Idea la at least 2,300
year old.
Indications are that men were ex
perimenting with fantastic devices
for the conquest of the air long be
fore the hlrth of Christ, according to
a compilation of ancient chronicles
made by the Golden Book.
Although the narrated flight of
Archytaa of Tarentum In 400 R O,
recorded by Gelllus. Is regarded large
ly as a flight of Imagination. It la ac
cepted as an Indication that even then
men were attempting seriously to imi
tate the hl»xis.
“Many men of eminence among the
Greeks, and Favorinus the philoso
pher,'* says Gelllus, “have In a most
positive manner assured us that ths
model of a dove or pigeon, formed In
wood by Archytaa, was to contrived
as by a certain mechanical art and
power to fly. ao nicely was It bal
anced by weights and put In motion
by bidden and enclosed air.”
Da Vincra Plan Scientific.
Ovid’s atcry of the fall of Icarus
shows that the ambition was still alive
In tbe First century of the Christian
era. ax does other mention of man
made wings and ships modeled after
birds.
At about the time that Coiambus
discovered America, Leonardo da Vin
ci gave his famous and scientifically
sound plan for a flying machine. “A
bird la an instrument working accord
ing to mathematical law, an Instru
ment which It la within the capacity
of man to reproduce with all Its move
ments. though not with a correspond
ing degree of strength, for it Is defi
cient In the \ power of maintaining
equilibrium,*’ he said. “To attain to
the true science of the movement of
birds In the air. It la necessary to
give first -the science of the winds.
. . . Unites the movement of the
wing is swifter than the movement of
the air so pressed, the air will not be
come condensed and the bird will not
support Itself."
But even before Leonardo, Roger
Bacon in the Thirteen centnry con
ceived the Idea of an artificial bird—
an Idea which Is the subject of ex
perimentation even today, the Golden
Book article points ont Bacon set
forth that “an Instrument may be
made to fly withal If one sit in the
midst of the Instrument, and do turn
an engine, by which the wings, being
artiflcally composed, may beat the air
after the manner of the flying bird.”
The compilation also contains first
hand accounts of the two asfcenslons
by which the Montgolfier brothers and
Pilatre de Rozler proved the prac
ticality of the first hot-air balloons in
1783.
First Successful Flight
On June 5 of that year at Annonay,
France, the Montgolfiers sent op their
first balloon, a bag 110 feet in circum
ference and weighing 300 pounds.
Without a passenger, it shot op to a
height of 6.000 feet in ten minutes,
and traveled a mile and a half before
it descended gently to earth.
On October 15 of the same year, in
another machine built" by-the Mont
golfiers, de Rosier rode the air for the
first time succesrfully, stoking tbe fire
which heated the air within the gas
bag with straw and wool.
"After a few trials does, to tbe
grovnd, he desired to ascend to a
great height," mjs the account “The
machine waa accordingly permitted to
riet, and ascend as high as the ropes.
dttata Tt, VOfiio alW, WHrar^lria
about 84 test There M. de Rosier
kept tbe machine afloat four minutes
and twenty-five seconds by throwing
straw and wool into the grate to keep
up the fire. Then tbe machine de
scended exceedingly gently."
BRIDGE PARTY FOR MRS.
SOLOMON BROWN f.
Thursday afternoon Mrs. Charlie
Brown, Sr., Mrs. Charlie Brown, Jr.,
and Mrs. Ralph Brown entertained
with ten tables of bridge in honor of
Mrs. Solomon Brown, who is leaving
in /the near future to make her home
in Batesburg. The rooms, thrown en
suite, were transformed into a flowery
bower of hydrangeas and yellow
daisies, which gave the effect of a
summer garden. The color scheme of
yellow was effectively carried out in
every minute detail, from the tally
cards through the refreshments. Mrs.
Norman Anderson won the high score
prize, a box of Houbigant face powder,
and Mrs. Charlie Marsh ctit the conso
lation, a Jar of French bath salts.
The guest of- honor was presented
with a yellow wall vase, emblematic
of the horn of plenty. Delicious yel
low French ice cream, yellow cake and
yellow mints were served.

D. Calhoun, Mrs. Herbert Christ : c and
Mrs. W. R. Christie, of Denmark;
Mrs. Herman Brown. Mrs. Isadore
Brown, Mrs. Harry Rich and Miss

Waterloo, N. Y.—Prompted by a real
need, tbe Liars club of Waterloo now
