A cross section of the Tindon piane, see from above or from the side, gives a silhouette curiously like that of a pigeon. The plane has no tail to break its landing speed, because it has four wheels in a square plane, permitting it to stand flat on its feet as if it were

The First Division of the Court of Session at Edinburgh gave judgment in an appeal by Lady Ross, of Warwick-square, Pimlico, in the divorce action against het husband, Sir Charles H. A. FAL css, of Balnagowan, Ross-shire. and Emily Key Hoffman, or Dal- tiel, of New York, now dead..

The action was defended at the time by Sir Charles the Co- respondent, and Lord Morison re fused a decree,

Perhaps an even more logical attempt at flapping wings is con tained in the projected invention of Armand Tindon. This inventor, who is a former student of the

Ecole Nationale d'Arts 'ej. Metiers, has been more conservative' than Santos Dumont, and adapted an ordinary biplane to the general form of a pigeon.

The movable winged plane is de signed with one or two forward motors with their propellors, acting in the same pulling force as the regular airplane. The upper plane of the wings is stationary with no lateral controls. The tower wings
