elist, whose death is announced, was
fond OF relating among his intimates
how he met his best OF wives. 1t was
his day of early struggle. He had
written for a London daily a review OF
one of George Miners books. Pleased
with the review, which was unsigned,
Mr.. Miner communicated with the
writer of it and invited him eventual
ly to visit his home in Manchester.
In time the invitation was accepted.
The future novelist Of fame fell in

GOOD FOR POLAR EXPLORERS
Frenehman's Invention Of Much Bene-
ne to Those Who Track Waste
Places Of the Earth.

Count Bertrand de Lessups. son OF
the famous Frenchman OF Suez canal
fame. has constructed an air-propelled
machine which is capable OF attaining
q speed OF from fifteen to sixty miles
an hour over the snow, according TO
the condition OF the frozen roads. The
shoe-shaped chassis Is attached TO
broad. fiat metal runners. and vibra'
ton Is reduced to a minimum by the
addition OF strong springs. The pro
peller behind the pilot is well guard
ed by q metal screen as q protection
against any one approaching 1t close
ly. When snow falls wheels are placed
on the projecting pins. which lift the
ski from the ground. and the car will
then attain a speed OF nearly one hun
dred miles an hour. Some such ma
chine as this Is to be taken into the
antarctic regions by Shackleton with
his forthcoming expedition. Abroad
this form OF amusement Is called aero
skiing.
