not be seen why the true or practical
aerial locomotive can rot be construc-
ted on this line. In the new plan two
engines viii be employed each to have
az least fifty horse power, and they
can be constructed weighing about
five pounds per horse power. making
a total OF 500 peounds The weight
OF car, etc, will be about the same.
This would be total Of 900 pounds;
one man. $50 pounds; oil for FIVE
hours spin, 500 pounds; total weight,
1850 pounds. The lifting power per
engine being 1900 pounds, this leaves
sufficient margin for safety, the power
Of one engine giving the desired direc-
tion and speed.

I, the weighted lever arm being in q
position which keeps the propelling
wheel in line with center Of gravity
Of the apparatus.

appears when making a horizontal

toward which the propelling shafts
may be inclined from the vertical.

Young Wild Gander Returned Home

the late Robert G. Nicholas, Of Buck

young wild gander, which he tanned
and for long time It remained Quiet
ly and conteutedly in the yard with
the other tame geese. However, it
disappeared In the spring after it was
a year old.

to the ground with some young geese

again, but remained all their lives
perfectly tame and contented.
This is not fiction but an established
