An extraordinary kind of flying ma

lips of Harrow, England. In appear
ance it might be compared to a long
board on which are a pair Of window
blinds, SO mounted that the shutters are
nearly fat. The frame is boat shaped in
plan, 25 feet long and feet wide. 1t is
supported on three small wheels and
carries small compound engine work.
ing screw propeller CT feet in diameter.
The sustainer, or wings, consist Of a
humber of wooden blades or Stats
mounted one above the other in o steel
frame. Each slat is 10 feet long and II
inches wide, the combined surface of all
the Stats being 140 square feet. The
frame is placed in avertical position and
arranged transversely to the line of mo-
ton.
The weight of the whole machine in
working order is 800 pounds. 1t could
not, OF course, be allowed to soar away
unfettered, as it is too small to carry any
person to guide its flight. It is therefore
attached to pillar by means Of wires
which confne its flight to circular path
I628 feet in circumference. When it is
desired to operate the machine, steam is
turned on and the propeller set to work

without any of the wheels touching

pounds per square foot of sustainer sur

into account.-New York Telegram.

A New Pest for Farmers.

According to the Lancaster New
Era, another pest for farmers has
made its appearance as will be seer
by the following:
"a few days ago the New Era refer
red to destructive worm which was
working havoc among the potato
plants in this county. The pest was
even more destructive than the potato
bug. and its presence In the plant1wai
not known until the plant showed
signs OF whitening and decay.
Then an examination showed the
worm in the stalk in which 1t had Dor
ed hole and sapped the vitality OIL
the plant. Two specimens of the worn
were taken to DIR. g. L. Weber for in
lvestigation. He finds that they are
the Larvae OF the blister fly" mem
Der OF the family from which the "a,
blister" of commerce Is made.
'Dr. Weber says he never knew Of
heard Of the presence of this fly In thii
section, and the discovery is regarded
as an important one. Reports from
NEARLY all parts Qf Lancaster count!
tell story Of destruction In the pc
Lato patches, whole fields OF the tuberi

m the north side Of Stons mountain,
sir miles from tho mouth Of Stony creek,
In Scott county, has been discovered q
natural icehouss on grand scale. One
of the old settlers first discovered II
about 1880, but owing to the fact that
the land on which it IL situated could
not be bought he refused to tell its
whereabouts and would only take ice
from It In case of sickness.
He died without revealing the secret
10 even his own family, and but for q
party of sang diggers entering the re-
gion 1t might have remained secret
for generations, as 1t Is situated in an
unfrequented part of the mountain.
The ice was only protected from the
rays Of the sun by thick growth Of
moss resembling texture and Like moss
that can be seen dangling from the oaks
of Louisiana and Texas. Its formation
was after the fashion Of coal vein, be-
ing few inches thick In some places
while several feet in others. The forma-
ton indicates that 1t had been spread
over the surface in liquid state and
then CONCEALED. BY what process it
freezes or was frozen is matter of con-
lecture at this stage Of investigation.
Some think that II was formed in the
winter and had been protected since by
dense growth Of moss which covers
1t, while the more plausible theory is
that beneath the bed is situated great
natural laboratory whose function is a
formation of ether, and the process of
freezing goes steadily on through the
heat as well as the cold. The growth of
moss resembled the hanging moss around
Hudson bay and indicates frigid tenn
perature. The bed covers one acre, and
If 1t proves inexhaustible it will be val
uable.-Dispatch to Richmond State.
