Above all, the Cid, the famous Cid, flew from one part of Spain to another, at the head of the invincible band with whom his fame had surrounded him, everywhere achieving victories for the Christians, and even lending the aid of his arms to the Moors when they were internally divided, but always securing success to the party he favoured.
Its flight, it is said, "was accomplished by means of a mechanical contrivance, by the vibrations of which it was sustained in the air." In the year 66 A.D., in the time of Nero, Simon, the magician who called himself "the mechanician" made certain experiments at Rome of flying at a certain height.

I want one to whom I can count for something, and to whose life and happiness I am indispensable."
But in these days, when children are often better educated than their parents, and rise above them in social importance, it is a very needful one.
