They were swinging their picks to the tune of ragtime when they struck something harder than dirt. They investigated and found pieces of six- teen-Inch pipe, inside of which a huge brass screw at one time revolved. To the younger men who swung the picks it was as strange a sight as though it had been resurrected from King Tut's tomb. Pussled by Tube. They knew a water pipe or & gas main when they saw one, but they couldn’t figure out what useful pur- pose this time-worn tube had served. A. H. Ferrandou and C.

The air- s visualized conditions tha would be met in actual combat. Th. demonstrations will be continued for the rest of the week The alrplanes simulated conditions that would be faced in by scout planes that search the sea for 500 miles from the coast, and fighting ob- servation and bombing machines. Two of the airplanes were partly smashed in returning to the Langley after their flights. The machine pi- loted by Lieut. Wallace M. Dillon on landing was swept by a treacherous air current almost off the edge of the deck. The arresting gear of wire ca- bles held the plane, but not before the propeller and part of the landing gear were demolished. Chief Aviation Rigger O. M. Dar- ling smashed the seavane of hisland- ing gear when he came dow sought the | nue more than three decades ago. On November 11, 1889, the Judsen Pneumatic Street Rallway Company of New York asked permission to construct a single track of its pat- ented system, commencing at Bound- ary street and running to Rock Creek Church road. Revolved by Alr. The pipe, a section of which has just been uncovered, was laid several feet under ground and inside of it the huge located where Corby's bakery now stands. The street car had a con- necting rod which ran down through a slot into the pipe. When the operator wanted the car to proceed he caused the conecting rod to grip the screw and the car proceeded on its way. When the con- necting-rod was disengaged from the turning screw the car stopped. The experiment cost the Bright- wood Rallway Company more than $170,000, and ended in the abandon- ment of the system In 1892 Then followed installation of the present |overhead trolley system and exten- slon of the Georgia avenue line to ‘Takoma Park.
