quents the towns rather than the woods.
They make holes along the caves of the
dwellings, and in these holes they place
acorns, not for the purpose of eating
them, as the birds do not eat the acorns
at all, but for the purpose of devouring
the grubs that germinate in the acorn.

or a miniature wha1eback upside down.
The floating apparatus is huge cigar
shaped bag, to which is attached the
street car itself. In the front or PROV of
the car is an immense fan or propeller,
and at the other end an apparatus like a
barn door in three sections, which pro-
vides a rudder.
The car is divided into three sections,
one for the motorman, another for the
passengers and a third, which CORE
spends about in size to the baggage
apartment on a suburban car, is for the
use of the conductor.
The much abused trolley system has
been turned to good account In connec-
ton with this flying street car, as from
the overhead wire the electricity is OBJ
tanned with which to work the motor.
Connecting the car with this overhead
wire is a travelling cable, one end of
which connects with the motor, the other
being attached to trolley which slides
along the wire as the Car moves.
In the rear compartment OF the car.
where the conductor has his quarters, is
all the paraphernalia for lowering the
machine. A stout ships anchor attached
by wire cable to windlass, which in
turn is connected with the electric motor,
provides the means for hauling down the
flying car when station is reached
where passengers are to alight.
The first practical demonstration of
this aerial means of rapid transit will be
made during the Antwerp exposition.
One model machine is already pretty
well advanced toward completion, the
termini of the route being the exposition
grounds and the bourse at Antwerp,
which are about mile apart.
During the exposition trips will be
made every half hour by this novel
means of locomotion, and the success of
the experiment may probably revolu-
tioniZe street car traffic. One great
drawback to its popularity, however, is
that the trip of mile will cost francs,
or $1.-Philadelphia Press.

A Curious Fatality.

A curious fatality seems to have at

Wilson, the African fighter. All the
members of it that have died have been
the victims of accident or violence, ex-

attack of paralysis. The husbands of two
of Captain Wilson's sisters were drowned,
