The engine is mounted within the

chain or other gear, two propellers

would enable the machine to be very
easily transported by road. He has
also devised a means of coupling the
engine by suitable gearing with the
road wheels, and thus the aeroplane,
with its wings folded. could be driven
along roadway almost in the manner
of a motor car.

Ptomaine Poison.

The term "ptomaine poison" is In
everybody's mouth, but few know what
It really is. 1t develops, through the
action of acid on tin. This is why
every can of meat or vegetables or
fruits should be turned out into an
earthen bowl or crock Immediately
upon opening the tin can, and that is
why mayonnaise dressing should
never be put into tin recep.acles. On
one occasion several women were
made seriously i'll by eating salad at
a reception. Investigation showed
that the mayonnaise, in which was
considerable juice, had been allowed
to stand all day in tin pail. Ac-
cording to the physicians, enough
poison was generated to kill 40 men.

Planes or Wings Are Mounted on
Ball-Bearing Collars.
Engine Can Be Coupled With Ma
chimes Road Wheels to Run Like
Acknowledgement Faults
Overcome.

London.-An English inventor, L. B.
Goldman, has made an attempt to es-
cape from the conventional design of
aeroplanes. Mr.. Goldman has looked
to the time when the speed attained
will be so high that it will be advisable
to reduce the head resistance of the
machine as much as possible and at
the same time afford some shelter to
the aviator and passenger.
He thus evolves a covered central
body of conical form, and in the front
portion of this vessel the pilot. pas
sengers. engine and stores are con-
tanned. Transparent panels in front
permit of lookout being observed.
This central body is mounted on a
chassis fitted with wheels and skids,
but so skilfully are the parts grouped
together that resistance due to the
various units now presented to the
wind Is reduced almost to minimum.
Mr.. Goldman's main claim, however.
for his aeroplane is founded on the at
tempt to preserve automatically the
iatera! stability of the whole appara-
tus. In his machine the planes or
wings are mounted on ball-bearing col
lars fitted to the neck of the central
body. and these planes are free to
oscilate about the body to a certain
degree. When side gust of wind
strikes underneath one plane of the
ordinary flying machine 1t lifts that
plane. tits the central body, and de-
presses the other plane. The aviator.
by warping the planes, or by some
other balancing device. has to correct
this fitting; and the problem of how
best to do this is one of the most diff
ficult in aviation. If the gust is sud-
den and powerful enough 1t may throw
the whole machine completely out of
balance.
In the Goldman machine, when one
wing is struck from beneath by a gust
1t oscillates about the central
body without imparting motion to
this, since the plane is mounted on a
sliding collar. An upper vertical
plane and stop springs check the
oscillations. and tend quickly to re-
store the main planes.to the horizon
tai. whilst all the time the central
body has been unaffected by these
movements.
Another feature of the machine Is
that the central body is mounted on
trunnions formed on the chassis. Thus
by operating a hand-wheel the pilot
can tilt or depress the nose of the
central body. an ingenious system of
sliding weights giving the necessary
leverage. The body is locked then in
any required position. Whether on
the ground or in the air the central
body can be tilted instantly to any re-
CURED angle. and Mr.. Goldman pro-
poses to employ this device to govern

MEN THAT REACH THE TOP

of Brains.

Some men," said a business man.
ager, ARE afraid of responsibility,
some men welcome It; either sort Of
man may be good and useful or bad
and harmful, according to his special
development.
There are timid men who need
somebody always to lean upon. but
effective workers; and then there are
men afraid of responsibility who are
always irresolute and ineffective. who
never can be prodded into anything
but the dullest of dull routine work.
and who must always stay down close
to the ground-men of small account
Then, among men not afraid to
take responsibility you find some
who are too cocksure about it, ready
to settle any question that comes up
to them right off the bat, big or little.
going ahead jauntily. slapdash; not
good sort of man this to have at
responsible post.
ALSO you have the man not afraid
who thrives on responsibility and en-
joys the increase Of power, but who
is cool and clear-headed-a man of
keen and true discernment, who
knows instinctively and logically what
is the right thing to do, and who then
fearlessly goes ahead and does it-a
man of brains and courage. A rare
combination this, and the man that
possesses it gets far.
For courage is the manly at
tribute that men most admires; we'd
all dearly love to be courageous-to
dare; and the man of courage, plus
brains-the man not afraid to take
the responsibility and who has also
the downright ability to make good
