Wind Motor BIcycle.

The Belts wind motor" may be de.
scribed as a paramount curiosity. II
consists OF a rotating fan, set in mo-
ton on meeting a wind, and two sets
of beveled gearing at the ends OF re-
volving shaft. This operates the Sec
ond pair, which are in front of the
crank bracket and they in turn en-
gage with a toothed wheel which sets
the crank axle in motion.

A contrivance has been patented in
this country by George Delrsa of Vi
emma. Austria, and It's use is the auto
matte preservation from the danger of
drowning as the inventor Oddly puts
it. The device Is carried by the person
to be preserved" and becomes opera
tiTe only when brought into the water,
acting in such manner that within a
few seconds at the utmost the wearer
is brought to the surface and supported
there. His patent shows the expanding
gas reservoir partially inflated, but
when the device is folded into its
smallest size it is hardly noticeable,
and may be worn attached to the cloth
ing without inconvenience or discom-
fort. The chamber at the right CON
tains a small quantity OF calcium car
blde, which Is transformed into gas
almost instantly when water enters
through the valve at the top. This
valve Immediately closes under the in
ternal pressure OF the expanding gas,
and che latter, seeking new outlet
forces its way into the inflatable reser-
voir, creating sufficient buoyancy to
maintain body on the surface of the
water for hours.

The December issue of the National
Geographic Magazine is an important
number, and aside from the natural in
terest which it will attract, it will have
a stronger interest in the vicinity of
New Haven, the former home of Pro-
fessor Edmund Otis Hovey, who has an
absorbing article on the eruptions Of
La Soufriere, St. Vincent, in May.
Professor Hoyey was a member of one
of the most important scientific eXpe-
ditiOns that went to the West Indies
soon after the eruption of Mont Pelee.
His earnest arduous and successful
work is we'll set forth in his article,
which is finely Illustrated with photo
graphs taken by himself. In addition
to Professor Hovey's article there is
another on volcanic eruptions on Mar
Unique and St. Vincent by Israel c.
Russell, of the National Geographic So
ciety expedition; also an important ar
ticle on Sverdrup's work in the Arctics,
with map, one on volcanic disturbances
in Guatemala, one on explorations
around Mount Mckinley and some in
teresting geographic literature. Sver-
drup's work in the Arctics is cOnsid-
cred by some authorities to be the
most important since that of Franklin.

effect on most of the north shore. Here,
there are seldom any high winds, as the
prevailing winds of the tornado charac-
ter come from the south and west and
are intercepted by these mountains,
and the rainfall is most uniform be-
cause of the same barrier to the vapor
laden trade winds blowing regularly

been told most all the south shore is

mainly is the cultivation of tropical
fruits. But many Of our northern
fruits are equally at home here. This
is especially true of melons, tomatoes,
sweet potatoes, and most of the north
ern garden products. Sweet potatoes,
we'll started, are difficult to exter-
inmate. A few days ago I walked
through an arbor of tomatoes. Melons,
especially the watermelon, grow to
gigantic size. In June one was cut
weighing sixty pounds, and from the
descendants of it quite a number have
been gathered Weighing from thirty to
fifty pounds, with quality as remark
able as their size. Muskme1ons grow
quite as we'll. The country is still wild,
and the lands from which these are

But there is experimenting with
many things to help the colonists sur
vive from their little patches of ground
till their groves are in bearing. Many
Of our best fruits grow wild, as do
plums, walnuts and hickory nuts of the
north. The mango, growing on trees
large and small, resembles our yellow
peach at the north, and is fully it's rival
in pies, dumping and so on. And its
productions is unlimited for most of the
year. The avocado pear grows similar
ly, and is by many esteemed the most
palatable Of known fruits. Most north
ern people, however, need to acquire
taste. Then there are guavas, wild or
cultivated, for perhaps nine months of
the year. Wife and I a few days ago
took short stroll into the forest sight
