chine nnd the romantic atory of its
Invention.
It la called the “helicoptere,” and
the Inventor, M. Puterns-l'eacara, a
Barcelona engineer, made his discov-
ery in the Saute prison at two o’clock

French government Is Interested, for
It will send a technical mission to Bar-
celona to witness the trials, that pas-
sengers can descend from the air with
the same comfort ns though they were
sitting In armchairs.
How It Works.
The Invention consists of an axle
fixed to a motor which Is placed In
tho vehicle. The axle sets In motion
sets of propellers, one set turning one
way, one another. The vehicle rises
vertically from the ground; It can dip
lu every direction, remain Immobile In
space, and Uecend like uu airplane
with engine stopped.

When planning a new barn the aver-
age farmer has to consider bis limita-
tions in the way of cost and utility. On
the larger dairy farms the dairy barn
is built for the exclusive use of the
dairy herd and no provision is made
for other animals. On the general-pur-
pose farm, however, where the farmer

factors enter-
