AIR CRASH STAGED
Daring' Inventor Survives Baris, March 25. Albert Sauvan, an inventor, in order to test a new shock absorber which he claims will render an aeroplane crashproof, pushed a machine, which had neither wings nor engine, off a precipice near Grasse, and fell into a ravine 600 feet below. • The machine struck a cliff several times, and landed with a terrific crash. Friends believed that Sauvan must be killed, but he jumped out uninjured. The police several times prevented a test, but this time Sauvan was able to find a deserted spot. He says that he was a bit shaken up, but he was satisfied with the result.
