Embodying New Principle.

New York.-Amid great secrecy,
Miss E. L. Todd, "the only woman
aeroplanist in the world" has per-
fected a flying machine embOdying a
new principle. The machine itself

presence of a selected company OF
scientists.
The machine is As feet wide from
tip to tip. A 5O-horse power auto
mobile engine will drive it, Miss
Todd hopes, at As miles an hour. In
general construction it is like other
aeroplanes. The feature in which it
differs radically is an arrangement
by which the operator is able to fold
the planes or wings.
Miss Todd invented an appliance
for sewing machines that has brought
her large royalties.
