AUTOMOBILE HAS A WING
Same Manner aa an
Aeroplane.

A successful trial run was made re-
Gently from Paris to London, about
800 miles, by a motor car driven by e
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
"a ship. From the extremity Of the
prov extends q shaft to which Is at
tached the propeller-or revolving
wing-invented by M. Filippi.
The wing is small, strong and thick
and revolYes with a protecting cage
The engine is Of 40 horse power ana
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission.
There is no other mechanism, ths
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 min
ute. One curious feature was that
the car made no dust.

NOVEL ELECTRIC RESTAURANT

An electric restaurant, which en-
tirely does away with the services Of
walters, has been installed in Paris.
II is fitted with tables for one, two
three, four and larger numbers OF
guests Beneath the dining room Is
the kitchen. and dishes prepared below
are sent straight up to the tables
through the foor.
A guest gives his order through an
electrophone attached to the electric
lamp on the table. The electrophone
carries the voice to the kitchen below
without any special effort of the diner
to speak into It, The dish ordered
comes up through a moderate-sized
hole in tho table When the diner
wishes to get rid of dishes or glasses
he merely says so and they disappear
silently through the hole by which
they came. When the table is a large
one the dish can be made to circulate
and stop before any diner who wishes
it.
No waiter or human assistant ap-
pears at the table from the moment
the diner sits down until he goes out.
When he wishes to pay his check he
says so. It comes up through the
table, he leaves the money and goes
away. There is no waiter to be
tipped and none to feel aggrieved be-
cause he is not tipped, The inventor
of the system is NJ Georgia Knap,
noted electrician living in Paris, but

STRIKE or JAPANESE LEPERS

Although strikes are the order of
the day in Japan a strike of lepers
is something out of the common. At
the Kameyama hospital, however, this
recently occurred The hospital was
founded and is conducted by a So
ciety of French monks, and contains
some three hundred leper patients.
The costs Of the establishment are
paid by voluntary subscriptions and
by the sale of the produce Of the hos
pital garden and handiwor5 of the pa
tients. The latter receive no pay
ment for their services, beyond their
board lodging and medical attend
ance and a small sum for pocket
money, which is calculated at the
rate of a farthing per day. Recently
the lepers demanded an increase in
their pocket money allowance to a
half-penny a day and on the refusal
of the father superintendent they
struck work, and over a hundred es-
capped from the hospital by night by
climbing over the wall. They were
subsequently recaptured by the local
police and recohducted to the care of
the monks.

cided In favor Of his muleship In re-

Whatever his faults are, the mule can
and will pull. He has never shown
any great fondness for work, but he
can perform and does so effectively
when there is no way to get around
Il.
The race between the mule and the
auto trucks In some respects recalled
the memorable one between the hare
and the tortoise, though not even the
mules most bitter enemies Will assert
that he IS I'm any respects like the tor

clearly outelassed in speed. But 1t
was dependability that finally won for
him, though that is one thing foi
which he has been given scant credit.
While his gasoline consuming rivals
failed to negotiate hills, or got their
sparkling plugs gummed over rough,
muddy cross roads, the long cared con.
sumer OF oats and hay with his ever
ready lett hind foot in good working
order to kick a personal friend OF
the landscape, arrived at his destina'
tion and delivered the goods and
thereby retained his position.
Therefore, the mule remains in the
army. He has been a hard working
public servant and it would have been
a pity to have discharged him without
q character. There is then, some sat
isfaction in the thought that the mule
will not be drummed out Of the army

There exist in the ministry of

duties are but little known to the pub
lie. They are tobacco tasters who do
nothing but smoke cigars, cigarettes
and pipes frem morning to night, and
render account Of the qualities Of the
various samples submitted to them.
They receive the tobacco in leaf and
it is then made up either as cigars
or cigarettes, or cut for smoking.
There are about twenty factories in
France and their products are sent
regularly to the tasters to appraisa

a cigar is that it should be blonde,
