Though Machine Falls to Earth.

Barcelona, July 20.-While be

and fell blazing to the ground.
The Aviator escaped uninjured,
which is regarded as almost mi.

There has never been a more
startling aerial exhibition than
that which Ehrmann unwillingly
afforded, and those who witness
ed it could hardly believe their
eyes when the air man emerged
from the singed framework none
the worse for his experience.
He was sailing along at a
moderate height when he got in
the path of a sky bolt. Instant
ly the aeroplane was enveloped
in flames, its canvas wings shriv
eled up and, clinging to the skel-
eton of his craft, Ehrmann came
down with a thud.

The MohOrail Car.

The wreck of the monorail car
near New York City on its first
trip, has not disheartened its
promoters, who insist that its
practicability has been suffici-
GENTLY demonstrated and that
the accident which injured SO
many of the passengers on the
first trip was an incident, how
ever unfortunate, such as may
befall every new venture in rap
id transit, and one which will
prove of advantage in suggesting
further improvements for future
safety. The accident showed
clearly, however, the danger of
the curve in the monorail sys-
tenn. The superstructure was
not strong enough to stand the
pressure as the car flew around
the curve. But there are doubt
less other serious defects in the
system which will be attended
by special risks, and which will
have to be re.nedied before it
can be generally accepted as an
ordinarily safe means OF trans
portation. Nashville Banner.
