AUTOMOBILE HAS A WING
French Motor Car Is Driven In the
Same Manner az an
Aeroplane.

! A successful trial run was made re-
Gently from Paris to London, about
800 miles, by a 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 "wingedcar," has the appearance
of an ordinary motor car save that
in front it is shaped like the PROV of
ship. From the extremity Of the
Prov extends a shaft to which is
attached the propeller-or revolving
wing-invented by NJ. Filippi.
The wing is small strong and thick
and revolves within a protecting cage.
The engine is of 40 horsepower and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission
There is no other mechanism, thu
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,aRpeed 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

pointed TO see that this provision of
the cnarter was carried into effect.
Near the coast all white pines Of suit
aole dimensions were marked with the

bark with an az, like the track of a
