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

A successful trial run was made re
Gently from Paris to London, about
$40 miles, by motor car driven by
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
or a ship. From the extremely Of
the Prov extends a shaft to which is
attached the propeller-or revolving
Wlng-invented by NJ Filippi
The wing is small, strong and thick
and revolves within a protecting cage.
The engine is Of 40 horse power and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission
There Is nc other mechanism, the
wheels of the car being free, except
for footbrakes. By the side Of the
driver is 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
81 miles On hour was obtained with
2,100 revolutions OF the wing min
ute. One curious feature was that the
car made no dust.

blood and when he reached the boat
shot at the tackle till it was cut clean,
too high up the rocks for any one to
reach Devil Duval" sailed away and
never returned.
For years the winds battered and
the sun and rains rotted the ropes on
the walls of the rock till at last they
disappeared So many lives were lost
In attempts to scale the rocks and re-
cover the treasure that a law was
passed forbidding any one to make
the attempt without the necessary le-
galiZed concession from the governor OF
the province of Quebec. Only the wild
sea-birds, making their nests in the
top of the rock, know the story of the
two prisoners and the chests of treas
ure on the bleak heights. But an air
ship could learn it.
Carleton Island, in the st. Lawrence
river, was an Quitting place for Tory
raiding parties and an arsenal was es-
tab1ished there. A pay chest was sent
to the post with large sum Of money
The chest disappeared and it's loss was
reported to General Haldimand at
Montreal In 1879, Colonel Horn Of
Cape St. Vincent, received a visit from
a stranger, who requested the use Of
a boat and, being granted it, he rowed
to Carleton Island and returned in a
short time with heavy iron chest
covered with clinging wet clay. Col
onel Horr, thinking nothing wrong
helped the man row to the steamboat
landing, and he was never heard from
again. In a few days William Majo,
one of the owners Of the island, sent
a boy into the pine thicket for stray
ing horses and there the lad found
the fiat-stone-lined hole where the
chest had rested.
There are two extensive areas of
buried treasure in the thickly popu-
lated parts of the United States One,
the lesser, is on the general lines of
Shermans march to the sea. North
and south of it, plantation after plan
tation, town after town, have their
stories of treasures ranging from
few hundreds Of dollars to hundreds
of thousands which were buried for
fear the Union army would get them
Many were never recovered because
of the failure of the owners to locate
the burial places. The surest way to

While there is some doubt as to au-
thenticity, there is said to be a $16,-
100000 cache of Spanish doub1ons,
buried by Captain Kidd, on Esopus
Island in the Hudson river, not far
from New York City, while at the very
gate of New York is a forgotten treas
ure of many hundreds Of thousands.
This famous treasure was lost when
the British frigate Hesarar, a pay ship
sent in for the British soldiers during
the revolutionary war, went down in
the East river. II will be easy to look
up the old Admiralty records and get
the full information that may lead to
the finding of the treasure.
The facts pertaining to Hooper
Smiths horde are as follows: DER
Hopper" was very brutal and much
feared knight of the road on the west
shores of the Hudson from Nyack to
the Catskills and he robbed the
wealthy Dutch in an unmerciful man
ner. He had no opportunities for
spending his ill-gotten wealth and
boarded it somewhere. At last he was
captured and before his execution at
Newburg confided to keeper who had
been kind to him that he had sacks of
gold and silver and jewels buried in a
spot on Storm King Mountain. Just
north of Cornwall-on-the-Hu some
thirty-five miles north of New York
City. No search has ever been made.
In the hey-day of Mississippi river
steamboat traffic, great deal of sun
ken treasure accumulated in the Ohio
Cumberland, Tennessee, Missouri, Red
and Arkansas rivers. A pay boat on
its way to Grants army at Vicksburg
with more than two million dollars
aboard was fred by some of her crew
who meant to rob her. The paymas-
ter's men defended the money till the
boat sank. James B. Eads, who built
the Eads bridge at st. Louis and the
Eads jetties at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi, invented an apparatus by use
of which he could reach some of the
treasure wrecks in shallow water and
recovered several million dollars. All
