'Leonardo's fame as a painter has obscured his reputa tion as an inventor and a trail blazer of science. eYt he stated scientific laws that four centuries of experiment have not altered and many of his simplest inven tions have become part of our daily lives. He devised the wheel barrow, the rotating smokestack that turns with the wind and the flexible roller chain used on bi cycle sprockets. ' Every child In school, doing problems in addition and subtrac tion, is helped by this genius of long ago, who Is said upon com petent authority to have invent ed the plus and minus signs used the world ever, writes Edwin W. Teale in Popular Science Monthly for June. Knew Earth Was Round ' Early in the sixteenth century he drew a map of the globe, said to be the first to include America, an also showing ah Imaginary An tarctic continent. Even before Co lumbus sailed- from Spain Leon ardo not only maintained that the earth" 'was ifctand but' calculated its diameter to be more than 7,000 miles. The actual diameter, as now accepted, is roughly 7,9 oo miles. Many pages of his manuscripts were filled with notes on soaring birds and sketches of a proposed flying machine. They indicate that he invented the parachute and also designed a balloon two and a half centuries before the brothers Montegoiiers, who are credited with the invention of the balloon in 1783. There is no rec ord that Leonardo, ever made a trial of any of his proposed flying machines, but, after studying the puns, John William Lleb, .. an American mechanical engineer. haa said: "Leonardo da Vinci stopped Just short of practical re sults owing to the lock of a mod era motor." Foresaw Law of Gravity His aerial experiment led him to the conclusion, long before Newton, that "a weight seeks to fall. to the center of the earth by the most direct way." Before Cop erniclus, Leonardo wrote: "The sun does not move." and proclaim ed that the earth rotates about it. A century before Gailileo he proposed ft telescope, making a note on his manuscript: "Con struct glasses to see the moon magnified." It has been truly said that Leonardo da Vinci discovered 20 laws, a single one of which has sufficed for the glory of his suc cessors. Up to his last days he was busy painting and studying. This was as he had wished. "As a well- spent day brings happy sleep," he had often said, "so life well used brings happy death." Old Sand Dunes In Texas Amber FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) The finding of seemingly buried sand dunes In Texas, millions of years old. is described for the American Association of Petrole um Geologists by John Emery Ad ams of Colorado, Texas.

The depos its which are considered dunes consist of beds with a maximum thickness of more than 30 feet, composed entirely of medium to coarse, partly frosted quartz grains. The dune sands are com monly amber or red, although a few clear grains occur." A hew business enterprise started operations In Lo Angeles on May 1. It Is located at 115 west ith- street.
