AS may be seen from the accompany

OF q rectangular frame of bamboo.
which carries at its ends the vertical
shafts of the upper or lifting prOpellers,
III II. In the middle Of the frame Is
a third vertical axis which, prolonged
downward, serves as a support for the
motor platform. A driving propeller,
p, is attached to the bow of the skele-
ton craft. and a rudder. G, to the stern.
The total length of the apparatus is
1875 meters al feet), the total height
six meters (19.68 feet).
The motor, M, drives (by bevel gears)
a vertical shaft carrying at It's upper
end two small pulleys which transmit
the motion. by belts, to two bicycle
wheels, 1.20 meters (3.93 feet) in diam
eter mounted horizontally on the shafts
OF the lifting propellers. One of the
belts is straight, and the other Is cross
ed, so that the two propeilers rotate In
which can be thrown In and out OF
the driving propeller to be started and
paratus is stiffened by shrouds Of piano
wire so arranged as to resist deforIna-
ton stresses. A yard, attached at right
angles to the lower side Of the frame
and fastened firmly by stays to the
other pieces. assures transverse sta
bility.
Other prominent aeronauts and man
ufacturers are very skeptical OF Santos
Dumont being able to secure the results
that he claims.

THE HELICOPTERE.
Santos DumOnt's Latest Device for Aerial
Navigation.


Santos-Dumont, who stands at the
head of the aeronauts OF the world, is
building an entirely new machine to
compete and win the $4,000 prize for
machines heavier than the air" He
calls this an helicoptere. or 'screw
flyer" He means by this the applica-
ton of the screw principle In such
way that the machine will lift itself
from the ground and propel itself
through the air. In his trial machines
he has succeeded in doing something
far beyond the achievements of any of
his predecessors. He has constructed
propellers of the diameter of six meters
(19.68 feeD with a weight of only nine
Kilograms U9.S4 pounds). These were
made entirely of silk and bamboo ana
vlthstood a tractive strain of 80 kilo-
grams (198.41 pounds) when driven by
q nine-horse-power motor. He, there
fore, assumes that the same propellers
when driven by an 1S-horse-power
motor will support weight OF $50
Kilograms (396.82 pounds). His new
machine will weigh only l6O Kilograms
(352N pounds) and will be driven by
a 24-horse-power motor weighing 35
Kilograms (77.16 pounds). BY means
of this he expects to gain lifting pow
er of $50 Kilograms (396 pounds). or
A pounds more than the total weight
Of machine and operator. The weight
of every detail has been carefully cal
culated and reduced to the minimum.
The operator will sit on an ordinary
bicycle saddle. The lifting propellers
are not driven by the motion Of the
shaft, but by means of wires which
connect various points Of their blades
to the bicycle wheels. which transmit
the power of the motor. The Scientific
American gives the following diagram
and description of the machine:

Summer Resort.

Bro. Hubbs of the Lake Mills Lead
er, says:
"Probaly Lake Mills will gain more
in reputation this season than has
been gained in any preceding season.
Of course, Lake Mills is better than
ever before, because better improved,
but the chief benefit to be derived
from the improvements made will be
through the medium of the resorters
who are here this season, who, almost
unanimously, are expressing their
delight on the prettiness of the city,
the many nice residences, the well
kept lawns and it's lovely situation on
the shore of the beautiful lake. These
opinions will have weight when ex-
pressed to others who are strangers to
this city,
Those of this city land they are
many who have enjoyed an outing at
Lake Mills are enthusiastic in their
praise of that beautiful village as
summer resort. Unlike most other re-
sorts, it is not neces sary to be mill
ionaire to enjoy ones self there.

POStOffiCe Site.

Where will the new postoffice be
located is the common question now,
and as yet no one seems to be willing
to risk an answer. The sites are be-
ing discussed but there are always OBJ
jections to be offered so that no site
seems to be universally agreed upon
in the general talk. There are really
no available sites on Nam street that
can be purchased at the amount that
has been appropriated by the govern
ment for that purpose. Consequently
a site will have to be secured on
side street large enough to comply
with the requirements of the treasury
department, unless, the citizens will
contribute a sufficient amount to make
up the difference between the amount
add the cost of desirable
site large enough to meet the require
ments of the government. 1t is
matter that should receive the earn
est consideration of every citizen at
an early date.

Open the Door of the Heart.

The following little poem was from
the pen of Edward Everett Hale. 1t
contains so much that is suggestive of
purity and helpfulness that it merits
more than in passing thought.
Open the door of your heart, my lad,
To the angels for love and truth;
When the world is full of unnumbered
joys,
In the beautiful dawn of youth.
Casting aside all things that mar,
Saying to wrong, 'Departn'
To the voices of hope that are calling
you,
Open the door of your heart.
"Open the door of your heart, my lass,
To the things that shall abide,
To the holy thoughts that lift your sou
Like the stars at eventide.
All of the fadeless flowers that bloom
In the realms of song and art
Are yours, if you'll only give them
room,
Open the door of your heart.
"Opea the door of your heart, n y
friends,
Needless of class or creed,
When you hear the cry of brother s
voice,
The sob of a child in need.
To the shining heaven that Ger you
bends
You need no map or chart,
But only the love the Master gave.
Open the door of you heart.

DETECTIVES AFTER
FORGER JOHNSTON
FELLOW WHO ENTERED OF
FICE OF DREW MFG. co.
Two Forged Checks were Cdshed
and Attempt Made at Third
PinkertOn Agency Asks For DeS-
CriptiOn of Mdn-CdSe Pushed By
NiCOll the Tailor.

The arrest the early part of the
month of a fellow by the name of
Chas. E. Johnston on the charge of
forging checks on the Drew Manufact-
uring company is no doubt still fresh
in the minds of the readers of the
Leader.
1t will be remembered that the man
Johnston hung around town for a
couple of days claiming that he was
representa- G the Chicago branch of
Nicoll the tailor. Two checks were
presented one to Reinhold Schott and
another to J. M. Malloy. A third
attempt was made at Schott Bros.
east side saloon, but Otto was little
suspicious and was the means Of
having the man Johnston placed under
arrest about midnight. When ac-
cused, the fellow told Mr.. Malloy
that if he did not believe the checks
were genuine, he would return the
money, which he did in the case of
Mr.. Malloy. Johnston, who was de-
cidedly under the influence of liquor,
was detained till about 2:3O in the
morning, when he was released, the
chief not believing that he had suffi-
cient evidence to hold the fellow.
The return of H. H. Drew, manager
of the concern, on Monday after the
escapede, arrest and subsequent release
of Johnston, disclosed the fact that
the office of the Drew Manufacturing
company had been entered on Satur-
day night June 30th. Investigation
disclosed the fact that the robber had
effected an entrance and deliberately
pulled the office desk away from the
window so that he could write checks
by the light of the moon.
Mr.. Drew's first move was to COM
municate with Nocoll the tailor and
return telegram soon disclosed the in
formation that no such party was
representing the Chicago concern,
furthermore that Nicoll would pay
$1OO reward for any information that
WOuiO CoiifiSL Tile SAIlIy pa1ty'
The matter apparently rested in the
thought that bold, bad fellow had
escaped his just deserts-not only a
forger, but house breaker and fakir
who obtained money under false pre-
lenses. 1t seems, however, that an
effort is being made to apprehend the
party at the Chicago end. M. Drew
is in receipt of inquiry from the
Chicago office of the Pinkerton detec-
tive agency asking for detailed des-
| cription Of the man Johnston, includ-
ing his peculiarities. 1t seems that
Nicoll the tailor has placed the matter
| in the hands of the detectives with a
view of bringing the guilty party to
justice. 1t developed that it was
| one of the boldest criminal cases on
record and it is to be hoped that the
party will be apprehended and given
the full extent of the law. 1t is
also to be regretted that he could not
have been held when once in the
grasp of the law, for there is no
denying that Johnston is a dangerous
man to be at large.
