They placed a wagon la the heavens, and the.. strange, amor p b o u s creation which strikes the reader's eye on this page is a confirma tion of their poetic foresight. Th Illustration is not. intended: to represent the famous wooden horse of Troy, nor the. hybrid gods of "ancient Babylen" or Nineveh. Neither .is it taken .from some geological treatise the reconstructed remains of some ex tinct species of .a remote" period. No, wondering reader, it constitutes an Idea for a universal motor vehicle, designed to skim along the ground,- to wing its way .through the air, and to navigate river,"-lake or 'sea -as occasion may re quire. This. is the cherished scheme of a learned natural philosopher and. in ventor," who for many years .has been studying '.the problem of aerial 'flight and terrestrial locomotion.. The inventor believes "that" "previous investigators in aerial navigation have erred in adopting as their prototype in nature the fish Instead of -the bird. They have been trying to build air ships propelled by screw 'propellers and similar devices, or to .utilize .balloons, which expose a large surface" of .resist ance to 'the .wind and are, .therefore, at its mercyi ' The bird, on the. other hand, goes with or against the current.". The little gosling' can teach the phil osopher -a valuable lesson in' land locomotion.- for even before it - can fly through the air, it accelerates its prog ress, in the. water and on the land by" the' use of Its wings. Yet up .to the present time; no .student of' the motor vehicle' 'problem seems" to "have thought of apr- A UNIVERSAL VEHICLE FOR p'lyihg mechanical wings to the propul sion of "vehicle's.- .' .:." - .So, discarding' all-"previous theories, this "inventor begins by making a'n-in- -dependent study.of the wings of insects and birds, with the" idea of determining ".how they fly, and what i3 the precise sustaining "power of the'ir wings.", in .looking over 'the winged kingdom his- attention was" arrested "by. the- duck, which "waddles on the land, swims in the -water and flies in. the air. The whistle-winged duck' in-particular is a wonderful example of wing- "power. Though- its. wings .'-are comparatively smaller than .those of other fowIs,.they carry its body at a very, high velocity, at the- ratio of. about three to. five pound3 of sustaining power" to each .'square foot of wing surface Spme. insects wmgs show even more -remarkable sustaining power than" this. The duck, seeming to, afford -the best example for a universal .vehicle," the inventor takes this fowl as hie moripi 'pJonzatlne the body some-1 whatto suit it to hispurpose. ' Thuipnffthof'the'bodvof the vehicle- .repres'ented is-"twe"nty.feet..th'e.breadth-four feet and the height six feet." 'The weight is. estimated at 400 pounds, and it is" intended to carry four persons, in front ' Is the elevated outlook, from which 'the pilot can govern the mpve 'ments of the .vehicle," and back of this is a passageway for ingress "and egress. ". Five pairs of "wings, four or five- feet "wide and five to seven feet long, giving a total of about 275 feet of surface, -ex--tend-along the uppr part of the ma chine. These wings have an aluminum frame work, supporting prepared palm f leaf or- other like material of extreme toughness and lightness, and under neath each "wing are eight or ten para- "cbute valves or oval underflaps. acting like the feathers under" a bird's wing. which give momentum when the wing is raised." and buoyancy with momen tum when the wing is lowered. Oscillating shoulder joints. "with in- clining' air-cushion pivot joints near' the shoulders for active propulsion, at tach the wings to the. body of the vehi cle! From a close computation of the wing surface, and a" comparison with the buoyancy of bird and' insect wings, the inventor concludes that the vehicle would sustain a .weight of from 1,000 to -j 1,400 pounds. . But the wings are not the only .curi ous thing about this modern Pegasus, if such it may be called. Passing over the three wheels one in front and two behind which are provided for land travel, we come to "the three "vibrating and revolving fins two at. the rear and cue in -front to- propel arid guide the vehicle in water and -also in air. These fins,- which are modeled after the fins of a fish, are made of flexible metal and are" about three or four feet in length. When not in use L e.. on. land they 1 are to be folded up against the body of the vehicle, but in the air or water they drop below' the body, and are actuated sideways by the same power that mores the wings, thus" guiding the vehicle in aay direction, as a fish alters its course by the use of its fias.
