Then the old man smiled and sald: “Here are 100 chickens and a team of horses. Hitch up the horses, load the chickens into the wagon and where ever you can find a man and his wife dwelling, stop and make inquiry as to who is toe boss. Wherever you find & woman running things leave a chick en. If you come 10 a piace where Lhe man is In control, give him one of the horses.” After 79 chickens had been disposed of he came to a house and made the usual inquiry, says the San Francisco Chronicle. “I'm the bos sof this ranch,” sald the man. “Got to show me.” So the wife was called, and she afl firmed her husband's assertion. “Take whichever hors¢ you want”™ was the boy's reply So the husband said bay.” But the wife didn't like the ba) horse, and she called her husband aside and talked to him.

(ENCE ah Le fas Remarkable Results of Experimants with an Entirely New Type of Machine. The experiments which were re | cenlly made at Paris with the new Dufaux fiyluog machine seem to prove that a considerable step in advance | has been made In this direction, writes the Paris correspondent of the Scien- tific American. Up to the present we | can scarcely point to an apparatus the force of its propellers alone, driven by a gasoline motor, and carry a re- serve of energy necessary to continue its flight in the air Such a ma-| chine has been built by ‘two young engineers of Geneva, Henri and Ar- mand Dufaux, who are already known by their invention of the motosacochs, bicycle. After working for some time, they have succeeded In building a helicoptere, or “propeller filer,” which | will rise in the air as long as there is any gasoline in the reservoir, and | the supply can even be Increased, see-! ing that the filer will carry a dead weight of 15% pounds outside iis own weight, which is 38% pounds. At the Aero club it is considered that the Du- faux apparatus will no doubt aid greatly in solving the difficult prob. lem of the “heavier than air” type of fiying machine The completa apparatus is represent. eG diagrammatically in the accom: panying drawing, showing the arrange- ment of the propellers, H H H' H', car- ried by the steel tubular frame B B’ and driven by the motor, M. The ex- tensions of the frame are hollow rods A A’, carrying at each end two plane silk surfaces § 8 §' 8°, placed above one another and affording a total sur- | face of 11 square meters (118.4 square feet). The triangle, A, is a rudder fixed In front of the apparatus. Tha total weight of the whole outfit is only 23 kilogrammes (50.7 pounds). In order to insure the stability of this combined flying machine, the longi: tudinal axle, A A’, is made free to ro- | tate round the transverse axis, B B', ARRANGEMENTS OF PLANES AND DRIVING MECHANISM and the point of application of the mo- tive force, that Is to say, the crossing of the axes, A A’, and B B', is near. er to the front aeroplanes, S, than the rear aeroplanes. 8. The motor, M, and the dead weight, N, more sver, are tiways kept vertical under the {1 lu- ence of gravity, while the axi: of rota- | tion of the screws may be Inclined with regard to the motor until they become horizontal. . As constructed at present, the ap- jaraius is Intended simply to demon- | strate the principle which the Invent- | ors are bringing out. Once this point | Is proved successfully, the next step will be to build a complete flying ma i chine of 100-horsepower. One of the interesting points about the apparatus is the motor, which Is claimed to be! & step iu advance In the way of gaso- | line motors for flying machines It has been specially designed for the purpose by Messrs. Dufaux, and Is of the two-cylinder, air-cooled type. | The tests of the new apparatus were | made at the large balloon shed of the | Aero club, In the suburbs of Paris An endless cable was mounted so as | to run upon four bicycle wheels, two | in the celling and two upon a beam on the ground. thus forming a quad- rilateral of which the longest side was some 35 feet high, and formed no guide for the rise of the machine. | The work was attached loosely to tha | PRICE ONE CENT mows, AS 3000 AS toe motor force of the propellers and a vertical and weli-balanced f to the roof of the shed, which was far as It could go. and It was ret by a trall-rope.
