NEW AEROPLANE
is LIKE A BIRD
Has Wings and a Tail, and IS
Hard to Handle, Being Also
Dangerous.

Paris, April l6.--A new type Of flying
machine, the object Of which is to enable
a man to initiate birds in utilizing the
wind to the exclusion of other motive
power, was described at the congress Of
the Society of SaVants The invention Is
that of Or. A. Magnan and the flight
which it is intended to make is a kind Of
continuous volplane.
After the manner of large birds the ap-
paratus is provided with a spreading tail
and two tapering wings, thu wings being
so placed as to enable 1t to remain motion
less. The control of the machine must be
acquired ny practice as in the case Of Il
bicycle hut it is admitted this will pre-
sent great difficulty and even danger.

TROLLEY WIRE BROKE.
Schedule on New London Line Was
 interrupted at Midday Tuesday.

A break in the trolley wire on the Norwich-Ne London line near Quaker Hill shortly before noon on Tuesday tied up traffic for some little time and threw the cars off schedule for the greater part of the day. Passengers leaving here on the 12.15 o'clock car for New London got as far as DeWolfs switch, when they were held up for some time, and after following the re- pair car down reached New London at 2.15 o'clock, just one hour late The repair crew made temporary repairs afterwards stringing new stretch of wire. The tieup was the worst of it's kind for some time past and it was necessary to transfer passengers around the break.
 The accident occurred when a New London bound car was passing a point near Hempstead's farm. The car was running at a fast rate of speed and the trolley left the wire. striking the arm which felled and brought with it 500 feet of the highly charged wire.

There are two pairs of wires running into the buildings from the pole and only two of them had been cut The two, however. that opened the circuit indicated that the man understood what he was doing.
 When the light went out Manager William H. Cruickshanks noticed a rear window pushed up in the room on the main floor of the store behind the millinery department, and through 1t he saw a man peering, he told the police. The man disappeared from view and when. Mir Cruickshanks got to the window the chap was to be seen running down the track toward the New Haven freight depot The win dow that was open had not been lock ed it was said. at the store, and ir any case it would require an agile mar to get up to it. Beneath it is base ment window, barred, with several hor- izontal bars, one near the top, or which man might get a footing, but above this is the narrow stone sill o. the window found open, which would not give but a precarious hold. There was no evidence of a ladder in the vi cinity.

When darkness fell upon the establishment all of the clerks of the Boston store were at their counters and a few customers were in tho store, although most of the holiday shopping crowd had left. Without -de- lay a telephone message was sent to police headquarters asking Captain Twomey to send an officer there at once, and he did so. getting Officer Myron Morgan there within a few min utes- When the circumstances pointed to the fact that serious burglary seemed to be in the air, Captain Two mey sent other officers to the center of action. and these policemen included Sergeants Matthews and Kane and Off, ficers Henry Fenton and McFadden. Later Supernumerary John Donovan was stationed at the store to act as special watchman during the night.
 Besides giving notification to the police, the Boston store officials got into communication with the city cleo tric department and to their call for help the trouble man, Paul Bruso responded, and after some investiga- ton he found that the wires that supply the Boston store and the neighboring stores had been severed neatly with a pair of pliers from 8 pole about in the rear of the Murphy & McGarry store. The pole has spikes and so climbers were not necessary
