Winged Aero Machine.

With gigantic wings measuring 45 feet from tip to tip, M. Florencie, member of the Aero Club of Paris, seeks to solve the secret of successful aerial navigation. The " orthopter "or " flapping-wing " machine, as it is called, consists of two aeroplanes partly covered with canvas, the remaining portion of each being designed so as to imitate the action of a bird's feathers in flight. The machine, which weighs but thirty pounds, is fitted to the aeronaut's body. His legs furnish the propelling force. He stands in stirrups, and by means of a cord from foot to wing, flaps the great pinions. The wings are lowered by outstretching the legs; a spring fixed to the frame raises them. A series of longitudinal flaps make up the " feathers " of the machine. A rudder in the rear acts as the tail.

Rich lodes of antimony have been found north of Auckland, are being developed, and are easily accessible ; it requires no assay, as the ordinary observer can readily detect the metal Cmnobar -the ore from which mercury is procured- usually accompanies antimony, and does so m this instance. The outcrop gives a good assay, and a drive is being put in to test it at a lower level before erecting machinery.
