Herr Lllienthal has for several weekj been making attempts at flying ront a little hill artificially thrown n foi the purpose near Gross Lichterfelde, in the neighborhood of Berlin. This enterprising enter-prising engineer mounted the hill with two immense wings fastened to his shoulders. Then, half running, half flying, fly-ing, he attempted the dospmt. hnt frn. quentiy his wings sank helpless when half way down, and he never succeeded in reaching ths foot One day, however, the wings bora the experimenter a little farther, but only to let him fall into a neighboring pond. His wings were broken and he himself wonnded, but ht will probably renew his attempts. London Btar. |
