those high responsibilities.
The claim is made that he has had the ap-

that he is entitled TO reward. He is a New
Yorker by adoption, a graduate Of Rochester

NEW AERIAL MOTOR.
Is Constructed on the Most
Plausible Theory.

European aeronauts are just now
talking a great deal of a very novel
airship, which has been constructed
by NM. Filippi, of Bizerta, and Macler,
of Tunis, and are wondering whether
it will really do all that they claim for
it. They maintain boldly that their
airship can be uplifted and made to
move in any desired direction by means
of atmospheric pressure.
''Our balloon" they say, twill be en-
tirely at our command after the atmos-
phere has been artifcially rarefied in
front of it,
Their invention in no way resembles
an ordinary balloon. 1t is shaped like
a skiff, on which are several masts. On
the summit of each mast is a cone, and
this is surmounted by small wing. A
machine causes the cone to turn, and
their rotation, it is said, is bound to
create an impulse under the airship
which will necessarily send it upward.
In the front and rear of the skiff there
are also revolving cones, which are de-
signed to rarely the air and thus pre-
vent the balloon from stopping.
That this is most plausible theory
all scientists admit, but some of them
insist that no balloon constructed on
this principle will ever be able to travel
through the air. Thus NJ. Henri de
Parville says: INN. Filippi ana Macler
are nicely wasting their time. A doz-
en- years ago NJ. Puskas, a well-known
scientist, came and told me that he had
at last invented perfect balloon. l
asked him what the principle was and
he said atmospheric pressure. Ipoint-
ed out many objections to it, but he
went ahead, and in a short time he had

FOUND ONLY IN MAINE.
The Coon Cat hfch Energies from
Its Home in the Forest During
the Early Days of Spring.

"Coon" cats are peculiar to Maine,
and this is the season of the year dur
ing which they are tempted by the
warm weather to emerge from their
forest homes and go to the neighbor-
ing farmhouses in search of plentiful
meals.
Although the first home of the coon
cat is usually some nook sheltered
by underbrush, he prefers a civilized
life. His method of establishing him
self as a member of some well-to-do
family is. to amble gently along toward
an open kitchen door, and with in
gratiating purrs, accompanied by soft
rubs against the feet of anyone there,
indicate his friendly feelings toward
the household.
That was the way Teddy settled
himself in life. He is typical coon
cat, with long. waving coat of glossy
jet black fur and a tail like a large
black pompon. His face is a little
wider than that of an ordinary cat,
giving him the appearance of having
fat cheeks, and his soft, cushioned
paws are like velvet.
When we entered the kitchen of the
Sander home with a diffident air. and
looked around with the bright golden
eyes that are universally admired
Teddy was received with open arms
and named at once.
The household knew immediately
what he was and the object of his visit
ITS coon cat come to stay" and
stay he did. Teddy is much more tame
and affectionate than the average cat,
for he never gets angry.
In the matter of meals he is like
other coon cats, and hugely enjoys a
meal of vegetables, while a dish of
sweets is hailed with joy. He likes
to take an ear of fresh corn in his
paws and gnaw off the kernels, while
another pleasant occupation is to get
the meat out Of pumpkin seeds. Small
birds he also considers dainty and
worth the trouble of catching. This
trait of his, birding" his owners call
it, is not viewed with approval by the
family, but various seedlings and
withholdings of regular meals have
