The SIO,OOO prize offered by the French government for the best safety device for aeroplanes has been awarded to an American inventor for a gyroscopic stabilizer that is said to relieve the airmen of all responsibility for maintaining the balance of his machine, the control exercised by this device being so complete that eyewitnesses to the tests have declared that it makes the aeroplane “foolproof." In one test, with the aeroplane flying at a height of about 600 ft., the pilot stood with his hands raised free from the controls while his mechanic climbed out along one of the wings and tried to disturb the balance of the machine, but even under these extreme conditions the balance was maintained perfectly by the action of the stabilizer. The stabilizer is a small device, weighing about 40 lbs. and occupying a space 18 in. wide and 12 in. high.—From the September Popular Mechanics Magazine. I

The Phi Delta Kappa fraternity at their meeting last night took up plans looking toward the renting of the former John Studabaker residence on West Market street for a club house.

A motor car without wheels has been constructed and set to practical tests. Instead of wheels there are three parallel pairs of runners, like those on sleds, except that they are movable. When not in motion the car rests on all three pairs of runners, but as soon as the motor is started one pair is raised, moved forward. set on the ground, and so on. Thus the car is always resting on two pairs and by the forward movement of the runners moved also forward. The motion is said to bo much smoother than one would anticipate, without jars or noise. Pictures of the car appear in the September Popular Mechanics Magazine.

SPECIALJESSION Os Adams County Registration Board Petitioned by Voters FOR SEPTEMBER sth Fifty-nine Days Before Election—Petition Filed With Auditor Adams county has made arrangements for a special session of the registration boards in each of its voting precincts. The petition which was signed by more than 625 resident voters of the precincts, which is more than twice the required number, asks that the special registration board meet fifty-nine days before tlie general election to be held November 3. This would make the special registration date, September 5. No action of the board of commissioners is necessary, as the law simply requires the filing of the petition with the auditor. The auditor issues the notice of the date which is published and also posted by the inspectors at the various precincts. The law requires the regular registration to be held twenty-nine days before tlie election The regular registration date is thus in October, but the special registration which conies earlier, gives Adams county voters just twice the advantages whb'l) they would have with the one registration date. o Mrs. Anna Boese, Miss Clara Weiland and Miss Harriet Wertz.berger went to Fort Wayne this morning to attend the millinery opening LOST $2,000.00 J.
