THE NEW "ZODIAC" BIPLANE. - This, the latest production of the Zodiac Society, was last week tested in the air by M. J. Labouchere at St. Cyr. In general appearance the machine reminds one of the features of the Breguet and Goupy machines, the former by the narrowness of the main planes, the boat-shaped body, and the tractor in front, and the latter by the staggered arrangements of the main planes. The question of rapid dismantling for transport along the road has also been given special attention by the designers.
