AUTOMOBILE HAS A WING
French Motor Car Is Driven in the
Same Manner as an
Aeropiane.

A successful trial run was made re.
Gently from Paris to London, about
$40 miles, by motor car driven by
a revolving wing. the Paris Figaro
states.
The vehicle, which was designed by
M. Bertrand de Lesseps, and is called
the winged car" has the appearance
of an ordinary motor car, save that
in front it is shaped like the PROV
of ship. From the extremely of
the prov extends shaft to which is
attached the propeller-or revolving
invented by M. -F'ilippi.
The wing is small, strong and thick
and revolyes within protecting cage.
The engine is of 40 horse power and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission.
There is no other mechanism, the
wheels of the car being free, except
for footbrakes. By the side of the
driver is a single lever which con-
trolls the clutch and the forward and
reverse movement of the wing. The
wing can be reversed at a moments
notice, thereby forming an additional
brake. In the trial runs a speed of
62 miles an hour was obtained with
2,100 revolutions of the wing a min
ute. One curious feature was that the
car made no dust.

Phelim O'Toole and Mike Hester

The new building was completed In
1880, and from the opening it was one
of the most fashionable hotels In the
West. The lesson learned from the
burning of the old building and the
large loss of life attending it resulted
in the new building being absolutely
f1reproof. 1t was subjected to the
most drastic tests and withstood them

they blew up the bridge, by simply

Soon they saw the enemy calmly
crossing the bridge.

of the defenders. You CAM cross that
