And in truth the wonderful, quaint, Loyish little woman. with her bright eyes. cropped curls and breezy ways, was almost mere a brotberly chum than a sister to tbc "Doitlre" whom she so dearly loved
 Much or the time on her country es tate. in her studio and among her ani mals, wild and tame. she wore the masculine costume which her manurr of life required, to wear which she had. wi.h one other woman. a famous eV pl1rcr and aTchaeologist, received eZ- press permission from the French gov ernment Yet this very mannish little person was far from unwomaniy in her svurathics. and her latest biography records a pretty incident related by her friend. Joseph verdier. the landscape painter:
 "Oue evening she rEss dining with me and some friends. Among the friends was a young lady recently married. who gave us an account ef the furnish ing Of her house. All the rooms were furnished except the, dining room. For this last her husband could not yet give her the money. and she was compelled to hold her little receptions in her sleeping room.
 After dinner Rosa asked me for a large sheet of drawing paper, and while we were taking she sketched 8 delightful hunting scene. which she signed with her full name Then. un- der cover Of a general conversation on music. while tea wal being served. she approached the young wife and said Co her.
 Take this picture to Tedesco on your return to Paris. and he will give you at least 500 francs for it. Then you win be able to furnish your dining room.

metal. When the wheel revolves
rapidly. the top will spin from any
angle. The "gyroscopic action keeps
the top from falling until the wheel
slows up.
The gyroscope attracted a lot OF at
tention when Brennan used II on his
monorail car. This car runs over an
elevated track on single rail and Is
kept erect by large horoscopes. II Is
impossible to tip the car while the
horoscopes are running.
But q force that will keep q car
from tipping over seems to also I'M
pair the steering qualities Of airships
and automobiles.
On this theory Brooke has designed
an aeroplane motor In which gyro-
scopic action is modified by dividing
the revolving parts into two units
and making them turn in opposite di-
rections.
The inventor has driven automo-
biles for years and he has had plenty
OF opportunities to observe "skidding."
The older cars had large, heavy fly
wheels; the racing cars Of today still
have them.

Gyroscope Motion Causes Auto and
Aeroplane Wrecks. Says An Inventor

The gyroscopic action OF the re-
volving parts of the motor causes
aeroplane disasters and automobile
wrecks. This is the theory of an In
yentor, Thomas Preston Brooke, we'll
known as the former leader OF the
Chicago Marine band. His theory Is
described by J. @. Roberts in Popular
Mechanics.
In the first place II is necessary to
have an idea what "gyroscopic action"

describing q complete circle. Again
Il has caused autos to skid around
In the path OF an oncoming train, or
smashed the wheels Of the auto
against the curbstone.
.The most common accident due to
the gyroscopic force Is that OF causing
two autos to collide. The cars meet
on q short curve, both drivers release
their clutches and their engines start
to race The high speed, coupled
with the revolving parts OF the motor

gal force, causing the autos to skid or
