ton designed to be used in connection
with an airship.
Such Is the basis of the idea as the
inventor describes it.
1t claims the advantage of being an
air vehicle which does not depend on
a gas bag or balloon. aeroplanes or
kites, to raise 1t from the ground.
According to the inventors drawing,
1t consists, for experimental purposes,
of a whirling propeller, or SAIL made
preferably of aluminium. attached to a
steel mast set in light car about nine
feet long
A gasoline engine or motor in the
center of this car propels this said,
comprising semi-tubular chambers
which curve from end to end, the un.
der portions of which are open from
end to end. The whirling of this metal
sail fills 1t with air, the motion accom-.
plishing with air what the propeller
does for a ship In water Smaller semi.
tubular chambers attached at each end
OF the car serve to push or pull being
whirled by the same motor as the big
one and serving dirigible purposes.
Mr.. Jones claims that the speed Of
this propeller in the air will regulate
the speed of the car and control its
distance from the earth.

,vAsE THAT Is WORTH $4,000
IL 10 the Portland Vase and Now In
British Museum.

Another family treasure OF great
value which has since passed into the
keeping OF the nation is the Portland
vase, now exhibited in the British mu'
scum, says the Westminster Gazette
This vase comes from Italy, and what
its age is no man knows, though 1t has
been proved that in 235 A. d. 1t was
deposited in a sepulcher under the
Monte del Grano. three miles from
Rome, and is believed to have con-
tanned the ashes of the Emperor Sew
erus. But, whether or no, Pope Urban
VIII had 1t dug up; and for more than
two centuries it reposed in the Bar
berini palace at Rome. In 1886 the
duke of Portland purchased it from Sir
William Hamilton for 100 guineas
and deposited it in the British muse
UNI fifteen years later. In 1916 man
named Lloyd, employed at the mu-
scum, picked up stone and hurled IT.,
in a fit of frenzy, at the case which
contained the precious relic. The vase
was smashed into hundreds of pieces,
but with great ingenuity they were all
put together again, and as it now
stands is said to be worth at the very
least G15,000 pounds.

Thievina Coolies Narrow Escape.

Retribution almost overlook a mum.
Der of thieving coolies in Hankow
Central China, last month. They had
entered an old barge belonging to a
British oil firm and were engaged in
unsoldering the cans, stealing. the oil
and then resoldering the cans. The
barge was anchored in the river
While they were hard at this task one
of them upset a can of oil over their
charcoal fire. The coolies tried to put
out the flame, but failed, and their
neighbors turned them adrift. The oil
was spread over the surface of the
river and caught fire. The junks near
at hand were burned, as were SOC
houses on shore. Many lives were lost
by fire and drowning. The thieves
had lively time, but escaped.
