Down Mountain Side.

CARLISLE. Pa, October 26.--Attacked
by a wildcat. L. Lamont Geissinger, a
young preacher and student. at Dickin7
son College. was driven down a steep
SIDE of North mountain, and as a re-
suit Of his experience was nearly pros
trated when he reached Doubling Gap,
where members of his fraternity were
holding their annual outing.
Geissinger went into the mountains TO
see famous Flat Rock. Upon returning
10 his companions he saw watching him
through the bushes a panther-like ami
NAL. about five feet long. He started to
run, but the beast leaped after him and
made repeated attacks upon him. and
although Geissinger dealt II several
blows on the head with club he could
not beat the animal off.
The young preacher made as fast time
as he could for more than a mile down
the mountain side with the wildcat fol-
lowing. 1t was not until he was inside
the hotel that 'he animal abandoned it's
pursuit and sneaked back into the timber.

AERO PONTOON TESTED
Experimental Flights Are Made
at Navy Yard by Lieut..
EIIyson.

Experimental aero flights We're made
at the navy yard this morning by Lieut..
T. G. E.lyson. The object of the expert
ment was simply to try out a new pom
toon that had been constructed for one
of the Curtiss aerop.anes.
The aeroplane was one of the earlier
dual control machines. with a single
steering wheel that could be shifted from
the hands Of one passenger to the other.
1t also was fitted with one Of the new
self-cranking devices. by which the avn
ator can start the engine of his aerOplane
from the seat without she aid of a me-
.hanician.
The pontoon tried was the single type of
float under the center Of the machine. LII
was about twenty by Twelve inches in
cross section and was covered with new
waterproof fabric, making the whole con-
struction considerably lighter than the Old
wooden float.
The flights this morning were to test
the balance of the new pontoOn. 1t was
found to make the aeroplane trifie tail
heavy and the weight was shifted SO that
this probably will be corrected in the next
flights.
