PHONE 257, BPPPdd For Cash § Wind Wagon Equipped With Runners Furnishes Much Good Winter Sport. Surprises come often when the wind wagon performs. It has now been equipped with runners and has been drtven at high speed over the snow- covered roads and the ice of the river and creeks around Indlanapods. The wind wagon 18 driven entirely by the wind resistance created by the revolv- ing propeller in the rear. The differ- ential is not connected with the drive shaft. In fact, there is no drive shaft, a8 a chain combination connecte the motor and the eight-foot wooden aero- plane propeller in the rear. There is only a six-nch clearance between the wooden propeller and the ice and for this reason, and also because it fright- ens horses, it cannot be used much on the roads. One can have great win- ter sport “skating” with the wind wagon on the river when the ice 18 thick enough. CONSTRUCTION OF ICE BOAT For Use on Lakes and Wide Rivers Craft Has No Equal—Three Boys Can Bulld One. The ice boat shown in this sketch runs directly before the wind, with a square sall as shown in the picture. A three-cornered sail may be used, but it is harder to manage. The frame work of the craft consists of two two-inch planks, which are laid across each other as in Fig. 2. Fig. 3 shows the under part of the top plank at the rear end. Note how the planks are jointed and bracked with wire. The steering is done with the rear single runner, The lower part of Fig. 8 shows how it 18 made. A bolt in the center of “A” fits in a hole in the cen- ter of “C,” not so tightly as to inter- fere with the free motion of the steer- ing runner. The bottom of the run- ners should be shod with flat iron. Half round or round iron will not do. | The mast is three inches tn diameter by six feet long. The sall {8 six feet by four feet. The mast is braced by running two stout wires from the top to the croes plank. The sail is con- trolled by a wooden handle bar. For use on lakes and wide rivers this boat has no equal, writes Moses La Bom- Ice Boat. bard of New York in an exchange. Three boys should be able to con- struct it in a short time. MUST BE POLITE TO POLICE Visitor to Montevideo Finds It Neces- sary to Take Off His Hat When Addressing Patrolman. The policemen of Montevideo are mostly of Indian origin. They are al- ways courteous and polite, but they are great sticklers for etiquette. Through ignorance of their customs, a foreigner sometimes finds himself in an embarrassing situation. One day last summer a well-dressed American stepped up to a policemen in the Plaza Independcia and said in | very Good Spanish: “Will you please tell me where the Calla Rincon is?" The policeman looked haughtily at the stranger and turned away, The American tried again with still more courtesy: “Would you be so extremely kind as to very accommodatingly tell me where the Calla Rincon is?” To his astonshment, the policeman retorted: “You have no manners, sir!” Needless to say, the American was quite abashed, but he had to find the Calia Rincon, so he put the guestion to a Spanish youth who was standing near. The youth answered very cor dlally and went some little distance to direct the stranger properly. After the American had thanked him he asked: “Why @id the policeman refuse to answer me?” “Because,” replied the youth, “when take off your hat"—Youth's Compan- fon.

A monorail sled, having a simple tandem arrangement of the runners, is very easily constructed as follows: The runners are cut from onednch plank of the size and shape given in An Exhllarating Glide Accompanied by a Buoyant Sense of Freedom Only Obtained In the Monorall Type. the sketch, and are shod with strap {ron, one inch wide and one-quarter- inch thick. Round iron or half-round fron should not be used, as these are liable to skid. The square, sharp edges of the strap iron prevent this and grip the surface just as a skate. The top is & board six feet long and 11 inches thick, securely fastened to the runners as follows: Blocks are nalled, or bolted, on either side of the upper edge of the rear runner and the top is fastened to them with scmews. The runner is also braced with strap iron, as shown. The same method ap- plies to the front runner, except that only one palr of blocks are used at the center and a thin piece of wood fast- | ened to their tops to serve as the fifth wheel, writes Harry Hardy of Whitby, Ont., in the Popular Mechanics. The hole for the steering post should 1 be six inches from the front end and a | lttle larger in diameter than the | steering post. The latter should be iroundml where it passes through the [ hole, but square on the upper end to | receive the steering bar, which must be tightly fitted in place. In coasting, the rider lles full length on the board with his hands on the steering bar. This makes the center of gravity so low that there is no ne- cessity for lateral steadying runners, and aside from the exhilarating glide of the oridnary sled, the rider experi- ences a buoyant sense of freedom and a zest peculiar to the monorail type. Then, too, the steering is effected much more easily. Instead of drag- The Construction s Much More Simple Than Making a Double-Runner Bob- sled. ging the feet, a slight turn of the front runner with a corresponding move meat of the body is sufficient to change | the direction or to restore the balance.

Magnet, Generally speaking, this word s thought to be derived from the word Magnesia, a city of Lydta i Asia Minor, where the pecullar magnetic properties of the ore of iron known as lodestone were first Mscovered. Another authority, however, de- ! clares that the word can be traced back to Magnes, the name of a shep- herd who was detained on Mount Ida by the iron in his shoes and found him selt unable to move.
