WRIGHT SETS A new
RECORD FOR MAKING
TURN IN AEROPLANE

College Park, Md, Oct. lin an
experimental flight today, Wilbur
Wright established new record for
making a circle, making a complete
turn in seventeen und three-ffth sec
onds The diameter Of the circle was
approximately $50 feet.
While Wright has made sharper
turns, the complete circle made by
Wilbur this morning was probably
the smallest ever made by flying
machine. Wright estimated that the
best previous time making circle
was one minute. Wright made flight
today in drizzling rain. The
weather prevented further flights.

wORkMEN IN DANGER,

Miami, Oct 11.-A gulf storm ragged
furiously this evening. Houses were
unroofed, limbs blown from trees. Ef-
forts of the officials or the east coast
railroad to communicate with men at
work on the roads extensions on the
KEYS of the southern peninsula, have
been in vain. Between $500 and 5000
workmen are employed in the con-
struction work on the lower keys,
where there is slight opportunity for
protection. Fears fer their safety are
intensified by recollenctions of the
hurricane of 1906 when lao lives were
lost. The construction camps, howev-
or. are better fortified now.

When you go to the Museum, at
Scranton, find case II, and there
you will find u specimen of one of
the rarest animals or birds in the
world, the "Duckbill," Platypus,
NIullingong or ornithorhynchus ana
tinus. The classification OF this
freak of nature is a puzzle to nat
uralists. 1t is about twenty-four in
ches long, has the fur of a beaver,
its fore feet are web-feet like those
Of q goose. 1t has bead-Iike eyes
like rat and tail somewhat like
beaver. It has the broad bill of
a duck. hind legs like beaver, lays
eggs like bird and hatchcs them
like common fowl. It makes its
nest in the ground and lines it with
grass and fur. it burrows in the
ground to a dchth of forty or fifty
feet, one end of the hole opening
into river or stream and the other
on land. It never lays more than
two eggs at Il time and its young
are born naked and helpless. They
are carried in pouch at the moth
er's breast until they are old enough
to take care of themselves. Its
method of feeding the young is one
of the strangest known to natural
lists. The little bills of the babies
are sealed to the breast of the moth
er, although the old ones have no
uddcr or teats like other mammals.
The bill remains glued to the breast
until the young are able to forage
for themselves. Up to that time
they derive their nouriahment from
the mother. but in just what way it
is transferred is a mystery. When it
is able to secure its own food it
feeds on Crustacea, insects and wa
ter molluScs.
