the plans and movements of the enemy
miles away, consists of three large
cylinders, two of equal size and one
larger one, all of aluminium. The two
small cylinders are cigar-shaped, and
are held in place side by side and sus-
pended from the larger cylinder, which
is about IS feet long and eight feet
in diameter at the front, while the
stern is somewhat smaller.
Projecting from each side of this main
cylinder are two sheets Of aluminium,
which might be termed wings. They
are seven feet long and three feet in
width. At the stern of the cylinder
there is fixed n large but light fan
wheel or propeller, which, when in mo-
ton, acts in the air exactly as ships
propeller does in the water, forcing the
car onward through space.
Extending downward are four ligh;
but strong steel rods, to which are at
tached the two smaller cylinders, paral-
lei with each other, but sufficiently far
apart to allow for the working Of the
machinery of the car between them.
When it is known that an enemy's
ship is in tie vicinity, the services OF
the aerial observation car are called
isto requisition. The cylinders are par
TALLY filled with gas, which is carried
for that purpose in large storage tank
on board the ship. The car is then
lowered over the ships side into the
water, and the rider takes his seat
upon the machine. The filing of the
cylinders is then completed and the
airship rises from the water like
huge sea bird.
High up in the air the rider has an
unobstructed view over miles CT water.
No bullets can reach him, and with
IL powerful glass he can at his leisure
locate the hostile ship or ships and
ny the signal code give the information.
watching him through their marine
glasses.
When it is desired to return to the
ship the turning of lever beneath
,he handle bar Of the machine opens
set of valves in each Of the three cylin-
ders and allows as much or as little
Of the gas to escape as the rider may
desire. Instead of sinking directly
down now, as would an ordinary balloon
when the gas is allowed to escape, this
aerial car deseeuds in 4 diagonal d.rec-
ton, being enabled to do so by the
wings, aided by the propeller and wheel.
AS not all the gas is exhausted from
the cylinders, the car rides lightly over
the top of the waves; at the same time
the rider is clear of the water and in
no danger of wetting. The Ieaa.bal-
lasted cylinders maintain the machine
in proper position, and the demonstra-
tions by models have proved that quite
rapid progress can be made with this

inium Cylinders.

The aerial observation car, an in
Eenious device which has just been per-
fected by Paul Skobeloff, a. Russian
naval expert, is destined to be of great
Service in marine warfare, as by its
application the officers OF one fleet can
be a. priced of the enemy's movements
by signals from the clouds, while the
enemy will be ignorant of being
watched.
This invention is to some extent a
modification and a vast improvement
upon the war balloon, yet it bears SO
little resemblance to the usually con-
ceived idea of that machine that the
observer might well be pardoned for
mistaking it for anything except an
airship. 1t is, in fact, Il combination of
all the practicable features Of air craft
constructed during the last quarter of
Il century, and, in addition, has a num-
ber of entirely new and novel features
which give it a success heretofore un
attained by amy invention for aerial
navigation.

QUEEREST OF BIRDS.

1t Has the Face of Cat, Tail of a
Turkey and Feet of Deg.
The quecrest freak of nature ever
seen in that section of the country, and
what is said to be the queerest bird ever
discovered, flew into tree on Jesse
Branthoover's farm, six miles from
Apollo, Pa, several days ago and has
since been in captivity. That il is a
bird seems certain, because it has wings
which are certainly more than three
feet long, but in other respects il is
difficult to classify. Its face is that of
Il eat, its feet resemble those of dog
and its tail is similar to those of the
turkey. Its beak and talons are as
sharp as those of an eagle, and it has
great spurs like a gamecock.
From all the country miles around
people have come to look at the mon
strosity, but no one has been able to
identify it, Farmer Branthoover was
plowing his field when he saw the bird
in tree. He fired at it, and, one of
its wings being wounded, it fell to the

ground. Then the farmer attempted to
pick it up, but fight which lasted for
half an hour ensued, and the sharp beak
and talons inflicted wounds the scars of
which Branthoover still carries. AT
last the farmers son Ned came to the
rescue, and together they succeeded in
capturing the queer bird, which has
since been confined in the granary.
Many attempts were made to photo
graph the thing before the effort was
successful. The bird would fly into a
rage and jump around, as it always does
upon the approach of human being.
The binl measures 1S inches from the
top of its head to the tip of its body.
