TESTING DRO-AEROPLANE No Attempt Yet to Get Into the Air
 Engine Working We'll.

The Gallaudet hydro -aeroplane. the third machine of the air that has been constructed at the plant of the Gal laudet engineering company in Thamesville, was given a preliminary trial on the river this week. Without attempting to lift the craft from the water into the air, it was found that the 50 horse power Gnome engine could easily prepel the boat shaped underbody at speed of approximate
 ly 26 miles an hour. The seven cyl finder motor fired nicely and the test as a whole was distinctly encourag- ing. After their disastrous experi- ence with the Bullet at Mineola last summer. the builders are proceeding with caution in their further attempt at aerial flight and other trials on the water will be made before going higher. A recent visit to the New York market convinces the Gallaudets that there is considerable demand for improved models of flying craft

STONE FOUND INSIDE
 ELM AT LEBANON.
Wher Old Tree on the Green Was Cut
 Down.

Inside an old elm tree on Lebanon Green, which was cut down this week because it was dead. was found a good sized stone which the tree had grown around and hidden from sight. The old teee was four feet nine inches through at the butt, and the job of removing made three days work for Leroy Os- borne and his men. The tree had a big spread over three houses. but it had been dead two years and was a danger that the town decided to have removed.
 One of the old residents of the town now 70, said that he remembered the tree as a boy and it seemed as big then as it was now. One estimate was that it was probably 150 years old

China Decoratinq. Q.

Decoration of china has been re- duced to an art in Limoges. The pro- cesses of lithographing and decalco- mania have replaced all hand painting, except for rich decorations and special orders Another process is that of applying soft underglaze colors so as to produce fine effects, and it is probable that very soon the leading styles of the best classes of goods will be decorated in this manner. The large manufacturers make their own decalcomonia sheets, work out their designs, and control their decorations. They employ girls to apply the decalo- monia Autographs on the china Af- ter the paper has been removed there from the articles are fired in the "noufes" to set the colors-
