where medicine is sold, a safe and eff

ENORMOUS GERMAN PLANE
Machine 1e5 Feet Long With Four
Blades TO Have Trial.

BERLIN, Feb. 10, delayed ).--If the
war had lasted few months longer
Germany had prepared to surprise the
world with an enormous airplane The
new air giant, planned by Harold Wolff,
an engineer, win have its first trial at
Doheritz in q few days
The machine is nearly ls6 feet from
wing tip to wing tip and stands more
than % feet high. 1t has six motors
with total Of l,s00 horse power, driy-
ing four propellers, two forward and
two aft. Each propeller has four blades
Two of the motors, it is said, can stop
simultaneously without affecting any of
the propellcrs or having any result ex-
cept to reduce the speed of the airplane.
Devices on the plane enable the
pilots to know at. all times their alti-
tpde and angle of elevation, and also
Ito tell the absolute rs well as relative
direction of dying, which, it is be-
.heved, will make flying possible on the
darkest night and in the thiekest fog.
The device for determining the ahso-
| lutte direction consists of an instrument
| adapted to receiving messages from
various wireless stations and capable
! of such adjustment that a message
from any particular station can be
heard only when the device is turned
in that direction.
