\EBIAL NAVIGATION. Ii the Problem Approaching Solution? -LK4 1 K TK KLVK KTHKK. [Mr. Walker, lh editor of the < 'osrnopol ltn MKi/ii'e, ha. taken up the subject of Aerial Navigation and ha. been for tom month* in communication with the most noted scieutinti of lh <Uy regarding that suliject. under whoso direction a number of HiijHirtant eiprrimenti will lie made. Mr. Walker presents below a brief review of the present condition of the science. J War. which has been the mother of many inventions, aave an impetus to the atudy of movement through the air. "Ne iniul get out of l'*ris,"sail the I'ariaian envoy*; but how, with a Krupp ritle commanding every appro*. I,' A balloon served the purpose.

The well known inventor, Mr. Maxim, belongs in this school, and it is announced that he ha* succeeded in perfecting an H>*> horse power engine of weight so dupropoi tionate lo it* power that it u hardly worth calcula- ting, and which may lie safely used to opsr It i* ate an aeroplane. probable that the first experiment we make will ! in thin line of combining the salient feature* of the school.

In fact, La France involved no more than the fulfilment of plani .ubmitted to the French govern- ment sixteen year* before by an American. Three men have done much toward the consideration of I In* subject in this country. T .f first, Mr. Kdinund Clarence Steilmsu, pott and author, at the risk of being deno- minated a crank of a high order, did not hesitate to publish in the Century Magazine, in the year U7 U , a delightful article out- lining the possibilities, suggesting not a few point* that weru practical in character, al- though be did not pretend to attack the suliject a* a scientific .11*11, and calling at- tention to thecuriuns phenomena presented, that while thu particular invention outvied in importance all other mechanical subjects it had been confine 1 friction, swaying with every puff of wind and completely at the mercy of the most trilling current* of air, it is no wonder that experience haa caused them to doubt th* feasibility of a con.1 ruction which maybe driven in the teeth of a gale.
