30 miles, BY motor car driven by a

The vehicle, which was designed by NJ.

The wing is small, strong and thick ono

revolves within a protecting cage. The
engine is of forty-horsepower and rotates
the wing by shaft and chain transmission.
There is no other mechanism, the
wheels of the car being free, except for
foot brakes. BY the side OF the driver is
a single lever which controls the clutch
and the forward and reverse movement of
the wing. The wing can be reversed at
moments notice, thereby forming an
additional break The car complete
weighs about 1900 pounds In the trial

The Virtuous Wasp.
From Hsrper's Weekly.


Wasps appear to be well-nigh as in

has declared that the cardinal doctrine

Division of .abor is clearly seen in the
wasps nest. Some Of the workers seem
to be specially employed as foragers and
soldiers. others appear to be told of as
nurses and qua. dams. while yet others
are engaged as papermakers and masons
Wasps are at all times particularly
fond OF honey. Toward the end OF sum-
mer as al beekeepers know, they viii
force their way into beehives and carry
off by force as much as they can gorge
OF their winged neighbors' honey.
