Grover Cleveland Looming, a young
aerial designer of airboats connected with
the Wrights factory, gives picture OF
the crafts developing lines He expects
| it 20 have folding and reehng wings, per-
feet air and water controls. such as wing
tip elevators and movable side paddles
that will enable the flying boat to n1vl-
gate the water exactly like a motor boat
| in a high wind. Its motor will be entirely
protected from short-circuiting by sea
spray. and Ii will be started with certain
/ " right from the pilots seat. Looming
| is working on devices to anchor the craft
safely The perfected airboat will have
an all-metal hull that will withstand
pounding waves and the boat will be able
TO soar off rough water as easily as II
now gets away from rivers and lakes
The present sporting enthusiasm should
| furnish the demand for Improvement that
will eventually cause the airboat to grad
uate. as the automobile did, from the field
of sport to one of business transportation.
This is evident since. in one short season,
sporting devotees have seized 'on the air
boat as something that threatens the
popularity Of the automobile and the
motor boat. One large yacht-buildnS
concern has gone into the construction of
airboats. because its business heads are
confident that very little development is

required to convince the public that this
vehicle can be operated with at least as
great percentage OF safety as attaches
to the ordinary use OF the automobile and
motor boat. The old 'aerophobia" OF as
cents is rapidly being overcome. Thou
sands would go up if they had the chance.
Keen experts and students are predict
ing that in another year several hundred
persons will be air sailing all over the
United States. The country can be ira
versed in every direction along its vast
network IF streams and lakes and along
it's coasts. There is no need OF flying
above land. In America, at least this
will be left for some time to military
flyers and the more venturesome sports
men. AZ soon as this realization comes TO
the man who wants to fly, he will espouse

OPENED WAY TO FREEDOM
Ingenuity Of Prisoners In Effort to es-
cape Awakened the Admiration
Of Thei- Jailer.

Auonrst the prisoners in the French
convict settlement of New Caledonia
were TWO marine engineers who not
long ago received a pardon--strange
as il may seem for making daring
and ingenlotls attempt to escape.
Living tc1zeLher in the same hut,
these men were engaged for years in
digging a secret tunnel from their hut
10 the beach. At the end OF the tunnel
they followed out chamber, IN
which. with pieces Of driftwcod and
little bits OF sseel and iron smuggled
into the hut. they fashioned a boat
the metal being al first used to make
tools and afterwards 10 form bolts and
rivets.
Then with infinite pains they built
an engine to propel the boat, and aft
er Iaboring nightly for seven years
they completed their task.
Everything was ready except the
provisioning of the vessel, when they
were betrayed by fellow-convict TO
whom they had confided their plan
put so impressed was the French com
maudant by their marvellous energy,
skill. and patience that he managed
after a year to obtain pardon for
them.

Russian Gold.

The Russian empire, including ST.
IBERIA. was fifth In Gank in the world
as a producer of gold in 1911 ac-
cording to the United States geologi'
cal survey. The output is stated as
sa4se5 900, which is. however, de,
crease of more than ten million DOL
lars compared with the figures for
1910. This decrease is due mainly TO
the shortage of water in 1911 in the
placer workings in Siberia. The Rus
sian production of gold has been
generally increasing and a vast
nIacer gold field undoubtedly awaits
development in north Siberia, al
though this development may be long
delayed The value Of all the gold
produced in the United States from
1892 to the end Of 1911 Is estimated
at s3,35s, ,4635o the value OF the sill
yer at 1,629 $4,000.

Mango Exterminates Coyotes.

helena, March 1.-Reports made
to the state veterinary chow that the
plan inauguaated five years ago to in
oculate coyotes with mango has been
more successful 10 Kidding the state
OF these animals than the advocates of
the plan believed would be the case.
These reports show that in the past
two years 80 per cent. of the coyotes
that have been trapped or killed have
shown signs of having the mango.
When animal is attacked by this dis
ease it lives from two to six months.
There were turned loose originally
six coyotes which had been infected
with the mango while they we're con.
fined In Helena. They were sent to
different parts of the state and they
have spread the disease to other
coyotes. Several years ago two
coyotes we're sem to Rosebud county
after they had been inoculated with
the mango. Recently half a dozen
we're captured there and each had the
disease. Now the sheep commissioner
Of that county is advertising that the
six will be given to stockmen who
will guarantee THEY will turn them
loose where coyotes are numerous.
