AIRSHIP LIKE DUCK
NEW CRAFT WHICH CAN FLY AND
ALSO FLOAT.
J. V. Harrison, St. Louis Millionaire,
Who Has Made Successful Model,
Sayo Hie Plan Is Sure to
Be a Big Succcqss.
St. houln. Aerial navlpatlon Is not
a very dlllioult problem, according to
.lohri W. HarrlGon, millionaire manu-factum-
of this city. Mr. Harrison
recently told a reporter that ho had a
plan upon which ho has worked for
more than four years, for an airship
that would also float on water, and
he says ho Is sure tho machine will
ho successful, hecause he niado ;i
model of II and tho model worked
perfect ly.
"I know It Is practicable and will
work successfully," Mr. Harrison said,
"because I mado a model some tlnio
nsn which did all I thought It would
and more. The only trouble with It
was that It sailed completely away,
and I never found It or any trace
of It."
Mr. Harrison made his model along
the Hues upon which ho has planned I
a bigger midline. It was two foot i
long and operated by a big clock '
miring, lie liberated the all ship from
tin. i-nnl' fit' lilu lmmn nnrl It flow!
away. Ho watched It until It was' out
of t-ight, and as far an he could see it
the contrivance did not drop or show
any defect.
Mr. Harrison fully described Ills
connivance. The machine Is to be
built of aluminum, the roof and wings
to bo of oiled silk. It Is to bo pro
vided with two piopellers, one for air
and one for water navigation. Tho
body Is boat shaped, of aluminum.
The propellers uio lo be of aluminum.
Aluminum columns on the boat will
suppoit the roof, which Is to bo of
oiled silk, Kin-rounded by huge, rigid
wings of oiled silk.
The dimensions are to bo as fol
lows: Tho aluminum boat Is to be CI
feet long, the silk loof Is to bo !!5
EARLY TOAD GETS A CIGAR.
Prematurely Awakened, Mistakes a
Fiery Butt for a Meal.
Montclalr, N. J. A toad, led to he
Hove that spring had reached here
had a painful experience. A trench
was being dug lor a sower connection
In Cluremnnt avenue, and to thaw tho
frozen earth llres wero built along the
line.
The toad, feeling the warmth, awoke
from Itn winter sleep and hastened to
Hie mirfuce. Just then a pas3lug smo
ker throw away bis burning stump of
a cigar, which rested on a small twig
thnt held it about two Inches above
tho ground. The toad, on tho lookout
for u square meul, probably thinking
tlie flrelly season had arrived, mad
n jump for tho stump and boltel It.
Tho toad jumped In the air about
tl.ieo feet, then alighted on the side
walk. A low faint croak preceded an
other jump, which was followed by n
third. Then tho toad hopped nimbly
back to the grusisy plot from which It
had emerged, no doubt returning to Its
winter homo to think the matter ovei

new assistant secretary of state, Is
feet long and the wing area to bo 75
feet long. Tho wings arc to ho 25
feet long. The (5 feet botween their
onds. This would make a wing area
75 feet long by 56 feet wide. Tho air
propeller to have 18-foot wings nnd
tho . wnter propeller 2-foot wings.
Tho maehlno Is to ho operated by a
04-horse-powor steam engine, weigh
ing 750 pounds. This machine, by Mr.
Harrison's calculations, would linvo a
2,100-pound lifting power.
Tho ninchlno which How away was
a model of this proposed airship, two
feet In length. It was built just like
ho proposes lo build the big one.
Ho never made another model, but
had an engino made for a big irtu
ehlno. About that time, however, ho
says other business distraclcd his at
tention. Mr. Harrison sold tho engine to n
Japanese servnnt, and tho Japanese
wont to New York, eaylng ho would
consult tho Japanese consul thero and
try lo construct an airship on Mr.
Harrison's idens. hut tho Japanese han
not since been heard from.

Charleston, W. Va. Htandlng 70
feet high, 000 foot In clrcumlcrcncc,
with tree s growing on It 700 years old,
the mammoth mound at Moimdsvllle,
V. Va., located on tho Gravo creek
Hats, near tho Ohio river the greatest
monument of antiquity In tho Ohio val
ley, and n memorial to tho llfo of n
prehistoric people, will ba purchusod
by tho stnto of West Virginia.
At tho session of tho legislature Jut
ended, following unceasing activity for
20 years, the stnto appropriated $1,000
with which to save tho mound from
tho ravages of modem commercialism.
This sum, with a donntlon of ?5,000
from the McFadden heirs, owners of
tho property, and a similar donation
from the school ehlldron of tho state,
is sufllclont to areuro tho mound for
tho state.
A quarter of n century ago O. S.
McKaddon put chased tho mound to
provent It bolng sold to a German,
who knew tho value of tho spot for a
popular rosort, and Intended pluclng
a saloon on tho summit. Several
months ago tho heirs of McFaddon
sorved nollco that llioy had hold tho
mound as long as possible, and it
would bo sold at once. s
The mound Is the largest In Amer
ica, and wns .discovered by Joseph
Tomllnaon In 1770, tho llrst pioneer
settler In that section. Standing In
n broad valley of 4,000 acres, It af
fords a view of tho surrounding coun
try for tovoral miles.
Uclallvo to tho ago of tho mound
little Is known. Tonillnson. tho discov
erer, twitl that when he discovered It
nnd first mounted Its summit, then 00
feet high, tho timber on tho mound
wns an large and dnse as any of tho
surrounding lorcst. At that tlmo sotno
of tho trees boro names nnd dates, ono
of tho lntter bolng 1731. A gigantic
oak tree, felled years afterward on tho
summit, was ascortnlned to bo moro
than six centuries old.
Even conjecture cannot point to tho
time when the mammoth mound was
erected by a bygono people it may
have been when old Cheops was bqlng
built or when Clcopatra'n nccdlo was
heltif,' fashioned. Certain It Is that
tho mound was erected by n prehis
toric race that was similar to tho
Egyptians.
In lS.'tb" tho mound was opened by
Its owner by excavating a passage
way from tho north sido toward tho
center. At a distance of 100 foot
from tho entrance two skeletons wero
unearthed In n Vault crudoly construct
ed with unhewn timbers nnd looso
stones. Ono of tho skeletons wns sur
rounded by C50 Ivory beads and nn
Ivory ornament about six Inches In
length.
A shaft was sunk from tho summit
of the mound to meet the drift, and
nt a point 34 feet nbove tho vault llrst
discovered was another containing a
skeleton which lind been ornnmented
with copper rings, plates of mica and
bono heads.
Probably tho most Interesting curio
or antiquary taken from tho mound In
1838 was a stouo Cngravod In unknown
characters resembling those used by
tho Scnndlnuvlan priests before tho
Introduction of the ltomnn alphabet.
The characters are conceded to
bo of European origin, and If this bn
true It Is evldont that other Euro
peans visited America before Chris
topher Columbus.
Hill Springs Up in a Crock.
Woodland, Cnl. A hill has risen out
or the bed of Cacho crook In Capay
valley. The eoiirso of tho crook has
been diverted and Is now running sov
ernl hundred yards out of Its course.
Tho upheaval wns accompanied by two
sharp explosions. Sovnn acres in the
vicinity havo dropped from 10 to 100
feet, and tho depression Is rapidly
lllllng from tho creek.
