A Great Game Park. The recently discovered game park in what was formerly German East Africa was long a German secret. ac- cording to the Illustrated London News. The park is the crater of an extinct volcano. It is nearly twelve miles square, two thousand feet deep and on the remarkable clover pas- ture surrounding a large lake are no fewer than seventy-five thousand head of his game that never leave it. 80 carefully did the Germans guard the Men that the lions living in the park are described as; day- light lions due to their tameness and habit of hunting in the daytime. Aeroplane Braking Invention. 'l‘wo inventors have independently developed a magnetic braking plat- form for landing aeroplanes. says Popular Mechanics. The platforms. made of iron, are for landing on decks or other limited areas. In om- electromagncts are placed at various points throughout the iron platform and are “charged" by turning on the current from an electric generator. in such a manner that adjacent sec- tions are of opposite polarity. Iron- ahod skids on the aeroplane are at- tracted to the platform and the mo-‘ mentum of the aeroplane is checked: by the pull of the magnets. The oth- or platform has the electromagnets directly attached to the landing “Centrifugal” Car Wheels. Ut‘ the steel ear wheels on “w market probably the most novel. says The Scientlfie American, is the one knewn as the Davis, wheel. “'lllt'll is fast steel 01‘ special (’Ompnsitiml. The wheel is (rest in a mould that is [laced on u revnlving table. 'l'lu- motion throws the liquid steel to the outer edge of the mould. where it mots first, thus forming the trmut of the wheel. As the pouring starts ferron‘mnganese is forced into tln- molten metal; and as the rim nt' the mould fills up the jet of manganese is gradually reduced so that the cenâ€" tral part. at the wheel is plain earhnn blc‘h‘l. v. w *1 yarns increase one-third in lawn) but. unlike cotton yarns. gain nothing in tvnsile strength.
