RUNS A WIND WAGON.

cooled gasolene of the V type, such as
has been generally used in airship
work, and is placed below the propell-
er shaft and as near to it as possible.
The engine belts to a driving wheel
on the propeller shaft, which reduces
the revolutions of the propeller to $50
per minute.
This machine" says Mr.. Curtiss in
Popular Mechanics, although of no
commercial value, is thoroughly prac-
teal and will easily run 30 miles per
hour The propeller is six feet in d.
ameter and has pitch of about 5h
feet.
1T is ne less to say that the rig
is great horse scarer, and blows up
a great cloud of dust when passing
along the road, and will even pull the
leaves from the trees where the
branches are low"
The machine complete weighs 300
pounds. There is no patent on the
idea and anyone with his small gaso-
lene motor can build his own craft.
An iceboat can also be driven in the
same manner.
The idea has just been utilized in
France, where M. Archdeacon of Arch
eres applied the propeller to a motor
cycle. In his case the propeller was
carried in front, which had the effect
of pulling instead of pushing. The en-
tire outfit weighs 100 pounds and
made a speed Of 49k miles per hour
over short distances.

Bache Ior British Officers.

An interesting discussion is going
on in the Indian press on the subject
of the growing Discrimination of young
officers to undertake the responsible
ties of matrimony, and the controversy
has raised the question as to whether
the married or the bachelor officer is
the better. On one side it is urged
that yourg married man is keener,
steadier and more reliable than his
less fortunate unmarried comrades,
yet many commanding officers have a
strong objection to their subalterns
marrying, their contention being that
1t detracts from the efficiency of reg
iment If many junior officers are mar
ried.

one of those who object to young Off
GERS marrying, and in accordance with

Typhoon Swallowed Up Fortune.

An incident of the great typhoon
at Hongkong September IS, according
to the Telegraph of that city: "The
steamship San Cheung, Capt McGinty,
was lying at her wharf, when the full
force of the typhoon struck her. She
was entirely at the mercy of the
humping junks alongside. Her port
and starboard bows were stove in be-
tween the junks, floating beams and
the wharf. 1t was not long before
she filled with water and after rolling
about helplessly turned over to port
and then settled down. Immediately
afterward she broke her back and at
1890 p. m. there was but little more
than her funnel and the deckhouse
visible above the water. Capt Nc
Ginty was on board and stood by till
the last moment, but when she broke
her back and there was nothing fur.
Their for him to do he grabbed the
ships papers and with the aid OF a
rope and a bamboo he managed to get
ashore, though he returned later for
some other papers which he wished to
secure. The owner was standing on
the wharf near his vessel and when he
saw her turn over and break he was
heard to murmur: Fifty thousand
dollars gone for one hours storm!'
And then he tainted"
