thereof being retained in the hub by a nut and a burr weld, passing through said hub and wheel rim, or by the side of said rim, the fan shaft is bent to form a continuous oval rim about a canvas fan, said fan shaft continued to form the rim of the fan at all sides from the flat surface of the fan, said rod shaft being reinforced by a plate, or flat rim, the plain surface of th plate being at right angler to the fan and held to the said rod by means of grooved plate strips rivited to the plate rim. Between these rims, a piece of canvas covering the intervening space, is laced at the borders thereof; the fan is secured against bending over at the surface of the wheel rim by being held firmly by plate and rod fan shaft border. About the fan shaft, adjacent to and above the wheel hub is bolted a ring; by means of notches in one side of fan shaft, said ring containing projections for turning and retaining the fan shaft when said projections are driven against a resisting surface; the shaft column of the flying machine having attached thereto a plate arranged to present a surface parallel to the spokes as arranged in the fan wheel, said plate forming a resisting surface to said projections thus turning around the fan shafts of the revolving fan wheel, and the two unequal flat surface divisions of the fan air resisting surfaces. The projecting points on the fan shafts being arranged outwardly so as to cause the fans to fold up on the upward revolution of the fans, and when said fans pass adjacent to the supporting shaft column; the fans being arranged to move so as to present the broad resisting surface to the air on the downward motion, or lifting motion of the fans, the power being secured as described in the preceding description of a cone flying machine; the guiding device for both constructions being a cone as previously described. The wing flying machine that would be the logical deduction from the preceding application of power would require as previously described a concave-convex aeroplain support to lessen the drop during the upward stroke of the wings; that is an aeroplaine between the wings. An application of bicycle power to wings having a hinge joint near the ends thereof the power being similar to that mode described in the Thrust method, i. e. shaft column, bicycle power, elastic cords of rubber from upper end of column attached at the outer end thereof and leading to the outer end of first or main section of the wing, the contraction of the elastic cords raising the wings as is done by the muscles in nature, a flexible limited hinge movement jointnear the outer end of the wing. The application of engine power is left to other inventors with wealth to invest in patents. H. H. ABEll. July, 1907. GRAVITY MACHINE. A MACHINE consisting of a heavy weight, or weights moving beside upright supports, there being the usual mechanism for lifting weights by means of a crane. The gravity power being regulated by clock mechanism moved by a heavy weight after such weight has been hoisted by manual labor into the necessary position by means of crank, cog-wheels, pulley, drum, chain, etc., as usually arranged to do hoisting work, or by "tide-water lifting. THE COMBINATION BEING CLOCK-WORK MECHANISM, AND A HOISTING CRANE. Toys in the form of steamboats, fire engines, etc., propelled by motive power similar to clock or watch springs and their accompanying mechanism are well known mechanical constructions; it must be possible and if so liberty for confined poverty may be possible, by boats and wagons propelled in the same manner as the toys are propelled; perhaps they can not make a wagon go rapid enough to please the intense. Perhaps the only use the great public would find for this kind of power generation would be to use it in the cause of electrical depletion. BY H. H. ABELL VOL. III.
