uses ELECTRIC FAN
IN FIRST AIR Flight
Special to tn NeacS.

| Special to TIL Meas.
Humboldt, Tenn, Aug. IA unique
model of flying machine has been de-
signed by George H. Fox, a resident
of this city. Fox is mechanically in
clined and somewhat of an electrician.
He once had occasion to change the
location of some electric fans in a
business house in this city, and being
extremely absent minded, forgot to
disconnet the wires leading to the fan
before taking it from the ceiling. Mr..
Fox states that he had removed the
fastenings by which the fan was sus-
pended, but noticed that the apparatus
was extremely light, much more so
than when he installed the same fan
few months beforehand he noticed that
the fan was still running. This set
him to thinking, and grasping the fan
firmly in his hands he sprang from the
ladder on which he was standing. The
fan, it is said, acted as a miniature
parachute. Having discovered a new
principle in aeronautics, Mr.. Fox i'm
mediately set to work to design an
electrically driven aeroplane. He
states that he has designs for a model
in which he will use the fan motor,
and looks forward to a successful
flight. The only drawback at the pres
ent time is that wires from some pow
er station will be required to be con-
nected to the motor of the machine.

made such that they can afford to do

AN iron Mine
IN MISSISSIPPI
in Aberdeen County, Near
Potts Camp.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. IA report
reaches here that an iron mine has
been located in Aberdeen county, near
Potts Camp, Mr.. ]. H. Barrett dis
covered the mine, and it is said there
is a rich deposit of ore, running 50
per cent to the ton.
1t has been known for some time
according to we'll posted minerolo
gists, that there was iron in Aber.
deem and other counties in that sec.
ton, but whether in sufficient quaint
ties to warrant development of the
property was another question.
Mr.. Barrett has had experts going
over the ground for some time, and is
confident he has located a fine bed
of iron ore, almost inexhaustible in
quantity and of good quality. A re-
cent analysis of the ore shows excel
lent results, and it is understood a
large corporation will soon be floated
to take over the land for development.
Mr.. Barrett owns nearly 1000 acres
of land on which the ore was found.
and it is understood other lands near
by are being bought up with a view
to prospecting for iron in the near fu-
ture.

The MAINE" To Cruise
UNDER Her OWN STEAM

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1.-Acting
Secretary of War oliver, Secretary of
the Navy Meyer and Chief of Engin-
GERS Bixby are invited in the belief
that the battleship Maine shall be
raised in a manner that will not dam
age her hull and that she can come
back to the United States under her
own steam, after proper repairs are
made.
Only one engineer has proposed a
scheme for raising the battleship with
out damaging the hull. This was
John F. O'Rourke, who drove the
Pennsylvania railroad tunnels into the
Hudson river.
While no intimation is given as to
who will get the contract or whether
the work of raising the ship will be
done by government labor, 1t is be-
lieyed that Mr.. O'Rourke's plan will
be followed.
The question of what shall be done
with the Maine after she is repaired
has given rise to the suggestion that
the ship be turned into a museum.
When the Maine is finally raised
and the bodies of the dead sailors be-
meath the wreck are recovered, they
win be brought back to the United
States and either turned over to reIa-
tives or buried in the National Gene
