travel, We come to the three vibrating
and revolving fns-two at the rear and
one In front--to propel and guide the
vehicle In water and also in air. These
fms. which are modelled after the fins
OF a fish, are made Of flexible metal and
are about three or four feet In length.
When not In use--i. e.. on land-they
are to be folded up against the body Of
the vehicle, but In the air or water they
drop below the body, and are actuatcd
Sideways by the same power that moves
the wings, thus guiding the vehicle In
any direction. ms a fish alters its course
by the use Of its fins.
Four turns of these fms vii reverse
the motion of the vehicle even at high
speed. In water they become propel-
lers. and the wings may also be used in
conjunction with them to increase
speed. In fact the wings could be so
manipulated as to accelerate the speed

The wings alternate in action by sue

ress In the water and on the land b. the
use Of its wings. Yet up to the present
time no student of the motor, vehicle
problem seems to have thought Of APP
plying mechanical wings to the propul-
sion of vehicles.
So. describing all previous theories.
this inventor begins BY making an in
dependent study Of the wings OF insects
and birds, with the idea Of determining
how they fly. and what Is the precise
sustaining power of their wings. In
looking over the winged Kingdom his
attention was arrested by the duck,
which waddles on the land. swims in
the water and flies in the air. The
whistle winged duck in particular is a
wonderful example Of wing power.
Though its wings are comparatively
smaller than those of other fowls. they
carry its body ut a very Ugh velocity at
the ratio of about three to five pounds
of sustaining power to each square foot
of wing surface. Some insects wings
show even more remarkable sustaining
power than this. The duck. seeming 10
afford the best example for a universal
vehicle, the inventor takes this fowl as
his model. el0ngating the body
what to suit It to his purpose.
The length of the body OF the vehicle
represented is twenty feet, the breadth
four feet and the height six feet. Tho
weight Is estimated at 400 pounds. and
1t is intended to carry four persons. In
front Is the elevated outlook. from
which the pilot can govern the move
ments of the vehicle. and back OF this Is
a p~assageway for ingress and egress.
Five pairs OF wings. four or five feet
wide and five to seven feet long. giving
a total of about 275 feet OF surface, cx-
tend along the upper part Of the ma
chine. These wings have an aluminium
frame work supporting prepared palm
leaf or other like material OF extreme
toughness and lightness. and under
meath each wing are eight or ten para
chute valves or oval underfaps, acting
like the feathers under a birds wing,
which give momentum when the wing
Is raised. and b~uoyancy with m
tum when the wing is lowered.
Oscillating shoulder joints. with in
clining air-cushion pivot joints near
the shoulders for active propulsion, at
tach the wings to the body of the vehi-
Gle. From a close ~computatioS Of the
wing surface. and q comparison with
the bpoyancy OF bird and insect wings,
the inventor concludes that the vehicle
would sustain a weight OF from 1000 to
i,i00 pounds.

woman, well satisfied with her own DO

which she fancisd she belonged. She
was particularly interested In a certain
candidate running on the Democratic
ticket. Her first call was on her own
godfather. a Democratic warhorse, a
man who has worked and held office
for the Democratic party for many
years.

Speaking to United States Minister
Dun recently of the i~nadequacy OF the
Japanese horse, he remarked that he
had made a pretty complete study Of
that animal. and had concluded that
nothing could be done for him. Mr..
Dun came out to Japan twenty odd
years ago under the auspices of Horace
CaprOn. and In conjunction with him
had charge OF a great stock breeding
farm up In Yezo. Coming from Madi-
son county, Ohio. the finest stock rails
ing district north Of the Ohio river, Mr..
Dun was well equipped for HIS work.

sp0ndents refer when they speak OF

time 1000 acres under fence. 4. num-

cherons. were imported, and every at

pertinent. which cost the imperial
government a considerable sum of
money, was finally abandoned. and for
all practicable purposes It was a failure.
In accordance with an ancient rule, the
equine species in Japan is to this day
maintained upon a plan which confines
the brood mare to one district and the
males to another. One never sees a
mare in harness In Tokyo or Yoko-

foreigners. For farming purposes the
horse Is little required. The cookies
