A REMARKABLE INVENTION
Question of Rapid Mall Passenger
and Express Traffic Believed 10 Be
Solved by Viewers Air Car.
For several weeks past there has
been considerable excitement mani
tested over remarkable invention
put forth by D. B. Weaver, near Sax
ton, and a Herald reporter was d.
rected to interview the inventor and
present such facts for public infor-
nation as were attainable. and also
procure a photograph Of the invention
and one Of the inventor In this We

by the portrait heading this article,
and the following description OF what
Is destined to be the most notable
invention Of the day.
Electric Aerial Car
1.-THE invention is an electrical ele-
waited or aerial car. The car consists
Of three apartments. The first Is for
passengers, the second contains the
motor and the third Is for mail and
express. The center apartment con-
tatns cable cylinder and an cleo
Lrlcai motor which Is operated by a
current conveyed from stationary dy-
namos or generators at the terminus
OF the line by insulated side bars
along the track. A cable Is strung the
entire length Of any proposed road.
secured at both ends. This cable IS
wrapped around q drum cylinder In
the motor part Of the car and while
not coiling around the cylinder the
cable lies In the center Of the track
The track Is one Of the important
and peculiar parts Of the construc-
ton. 1t Is comprised Of two bracket
shaped rails facing each other, sup
ported on single pillars at an eleva-
ton Of six or eight feet from the
ground. These pillars are securely
braced and implanted. Another re-
and novel feature Is an at
sachment above the car. II is a broad
horizontal surface, secured pivotly In
the center, at the ends are vertical
guide posts. This board surface being
swung In the middle and free at each
md, II is operated that either end is
-atsed and lowered at viii, by means
II sliding guide. rods attached 70 the
lads. This air board acts as an ele-
iator or wing to the car while In
transit. The car rides the track on
Hanged wheels similar TO the present
lyle Of car wheels.

Twenty-Five years ago next April
Madison Square Garden In New
York was the scene OF the great
est exhibition of airplanes and
aviation paraphernaIia that has
ever been assembled In America,
and aviatOrs from all over the
world were assembled there. One
night into the press room Of the
exposition, where newspaper and
magazine writers representing the
great publications Of the world
gathered, strolied an old, veneer
able appearing man, who gave his
name as David b. Weaver, and
who gave an interesting account
Of how he tried to awaken the
country TO the possibilities of aero
nautics with heavier than-air ma
chimes 80 years earlier.
The old man caused quite a sensa-
ton when his story had been told
and he put touch Of real romance
into the exposition when 1t was
learned that this aged dabbler in the
science Of aviation was also the oldest
living Montana gold miner, the last
survivor of the party Of three who
first discovered gold on the Yellow
stone IN Emigrant gulch.
The newswrfterS seemed dubious,
until Weaver produced credentials
from Senator w. A. Clark, with whom
he had been associated In the pioneer
days Of the west. 1t developed that
Weaver was one Of the party which
discovered the fifth gold placer mines
in Montana.
Good Discovery
Weaver, David r. Shorthil and
Frank Garrett found color in Emil
grant gulch Of the Yellowstone valley
on Aug. 30, 1864, As days after the
discovery Of Last Chance wealth.
This recitation Of pioneer adven-
lures did little to convince the press
crowd Of the validity Of Viewers
claims that he was included in the
list Of aerial adventures as well as
fore the days of the Vigilantes. But
a yellowed pamphlet containing a pat
ent proved the claim advanced by the
old man. When the newspaper men
learned he had nothing to sell, they
accepted his statements as absolutely
true.

cation in 1890" said Weaver, 'speople

Texans, largely migrants from the
United States, the actions which led
up to the war for Texan independence
were tyranny, pure and simple.
And into the chaotic Texan waters
In February, 1886, steamed the Vel
lowstone. 1t Is easy to suspect that
the boat carried arms for the revo-
IutiontstS, probably also Americans
coming to join in the fight.
San Felipe, on the Brazos, saw the
Yellowstone arrive on Feb. ~, 1886.
She went to Galveston IN April, and
conveyed the Texans constitutional
government from Galveston up Buff
falo bayou IS miles to Houston and
aboard.
Sometime in May, 1885, General
Houston took the captured Mexican
general and dictator, Santa Ana,
aboard the Yellowstone, bound for
Galveston, where they were lodged in
Fort Travis as prisoners. Santa Ana,
several times Mexican president, and
in command of the Mexican forces at
the battle and death struggle at the
historic Alamo, had been captured by
Houston's men following the Mexican
disaster at San Jacinto.
The Yellowstone continued her use
fulneSs TO the neWly-fOrmed republic
Of Texas throughout the summer Of
1886, in August carrying munitions
from Galveston to Columbia for the
Lone Star republic.
In December the Yellowstone was
the funeral carriage for Stephen Aus
tin, father and founder Of the new
republic. His body was carried from
Columbia on the BRACES to Peach
Point for burial with full military
at the order Of President
Houston.
And at this point, so far as the
writer is concerned, the Yellowstone
disappears again. Her bell and pic
sure, according to Mullens, hang in
the historic Alamo museum, as part
of the record Of the events which
vent to make up first the republic,
hen the state of Texas.
Mullens states that he is trying to |
lind out what became OF the boat
He also says that as boy
n Helena, Ark, he witnessed part of
he greatest steamboat race ever run,
when the Robert e. Lee and the
Jatchez, July 2, 1870. steamed past
Helena for ST Louis. The old Missouri i,
liver boats are not merely names to
.Tullens, but well-remembered friends.

being, at least, Hollywood is dress
ing a good many of its glamour

1t may be just a trend towards

There's a good example in Olivia

Her clothes might have been
