- : THE PARACHUTE. Leonardo da Vinci Was the First One to Suggest It. Credible accounts exist of an English Benedictine monk, Oliver of Malmes bury, in the eleventh century having tried to fly by firecipitating himself from the height of a tower with the assistance of arms and his OOQSOOOOOOOOOI wings attached to his feet. It is said that, hav ing gone along a little way, he fell and broke his legs. He attributed his acci dent to failure to provide his appara- tus with a tall, which would have help ed preserve his equilibrium and made his descent a gentler one. ' In the sixteenth century Leonardo da Vinci first demonstrated that a bird, which Is heavier than the air, sustains itself, advances In the air, "by render ing the fluid denser where it passes than where It does not pass." In order to fly It has to fix Its point of support on the air. Its wings In the descending stroke exert a pressure from above flown, the reaction of which from be low up forces the center of gravity of Its body to ascend at each instant to the height at which the bird wishes to maintain it. Some sketches which have come down to us prove that Leonardo occupied himself, like Oliver of Malmes bury, with giving man the power to fly by the assistance of wings suitably fixed to the body. We owe to Leonardo also the inven tion of the parachute, which1' he de scribed In the following terms: "If a man had a pavilion each side of which vr&a fifteen braces wide and twelve braces high he might cast himself from any height whatever without fear of danger." It may be said, too, of Leo nardo da Vinci that he was the first to suggest the idea of the screw propeller. . A SAUCY DUCHESS. Her. Audacious, Fight For Gay and His "Beggars' Opera." When the "Beggars' Opera," by Gay, was produced in 1728 it took positively by storm. The king still clung to Han del, but the nobility, with the Duchess of Queens'uerry among them, flocked rapturously to the "Newgate pasto ral." The "Beggars Opera had a r of sixty-two nights, unprecedented those days, and as one result of success Handel became bankrupt. Sud denly there came an order from the lord chancellor to stop the new piece. Whys is not exactly known unless it was because the prime minister consid ered himself to be too faithtfully rep resented therein. However, that may have been, the theater had to be closed, whereupon the Duchess of Queensber ry took up Gay's cause and vehemently championed it. Very busy was she in those days, driving about in her coach asking for guinea subscriptions for printing cop ies of the forbidden play. And so heed less was Kitty that she carried her list to the queen's drawing room itself and had the audacity to ask the king for a subscription. This was a little too much, and her grace was requested to withdraw from J;he court, Kitty an nouncing, with characteristic compo sure, that the command was very agreeable to her. as she had never gone there for her own .diver? ion. but to be stow civility upon tlio kinT and queen.

Papua island was so named by the Malays, and the, word means "frizzled," in reference to the hair of the inhabit ants. It Is generally supposed that Papua or New Guinea was originally part of the mainland of Australia. It was discovered by the Portuguese In 1526, though it was probably sighted by A. Dabreu during his voyage fifteen years earlier. The Australian govern ment, realizing the danger that would rls If an enemy seized land so near their coasts, frequently urged England to annex the eastern portion of the Island, and after two or three unau thorized annexations a British protec torate was established there in 18i.
