ENGINELESS PLANES.
FLJGHTS IN FRANCE. j PARIS. August 13. | I Art ac Moiorless Aviation Congress at j Clermont several engineless aeroplanes j were submitted, but the duration of sue- I cessful flights of these machines did not | exceed two minutes, being less than in j recent experiments with engineless air- j craft in Germany. The greatest interest, j I has been aroused in the subject as bring- j j ing aviation more into line with the j natural flight of birds, and opening up | prospects of lessening the cost and risk • jof aviation. It is predicted that a great . ! proportion nf the power required for lliclit will In- obtained in future from the 1 internal force of the wind, .and that 1 sreator safety wil! ho acquired because j quilibrium will be natural and a'utoma- ' tic.—i.
