An automobile party drove up. in
front of- ths royal palace in a Chinese
province a few weeks ago and sent
word in to the ruling , prince that they
would like to take him out for a ride.
But this partcular prince, it seems, had
never, seen an automobile before and
was so terrified at the prospect of rid
ing: in one that he did not even express
his regrets In person. ' He did his in
specting from a safe distance and sent
out his card. - f i :

' "In the old days, when it was the
fashion to go out on horseback, the
trip took some three days one way,
at least two nights . being spent on the
road. By automobile. In spite of the
sandy roads, the rivers that had to be
crossed by ferry, and the many other
difficulties encountered, the entire trip
was done in eight hours, and without
any mishaps of any- kind. A Dodge

the way.. The three rivers that were
crossed 'gave some trouble, one because
the bridge seemed ready to cave in at
any minute, and the other two because
there were no bridges at all, and the
crossing had to be made by means of
three boats lashed together, with the car
put on them laterally. At Dishow the
stone block in the center of the- main
gateway against which the city : gates
are closed, was so high that the car
could not pass over it, nor was there
any other way around. So part of the
city wall was appropriated and a run
way built across the gateway, over
which the car crawled as easily as you
please. Throughout, in spite of the fact
that it was necessary to go a great part
of the way in low gear, the car ran
beautifully and proved Itself entirely
satisfactory." t

Records Show Smashups.Due to
Failure to Give Right of, Way
and to Bad , Driving.
Contrary to general beliefT more aeel
dents occur on straight highway atyetches
than at curves or road intersections, ac
cording to Harry D. WUliar, ' assistant
chief engineer of the- Maryland state
roads commissien, .During the last two
months Mr. Willi ar has been keeping a
record of highway accidents In his state
nd he says that a majority cf the ac
cidents are due to speeding, falling te
give right of way and bad. driving. Six
teen accidents occurred on the Baltimore
Frederick highway, the stralghtest and
perhaps the most widely used -road in
Maryland, and four of them were fatal.
"It seems to be the weakness of a mo
torist." said Mr.' Winiard, "to hlt her
up' on a straight stretch of roadway.
On roads where there are eurres there is
disposition to be more careful."
Sixty-seven accidents occurred on
Maryland highways during the last two
months, 14 persons being killed and St
injured. Mr. WUliar attributes the
causes to faulty driving, violations of the
law, failure to heed warnings, speeding,
driving on the wrong side of the road
and attempts to pass other cars or trucks.
Mr. WUllars investigations, as have
manyi others, refutes the oft-repeated
contention that most accidents on
smooth, hard-surfaced roads, are due to
skidding. .

Is true that the shortest distance be
tween tne American and Astatic conti
nenca is no more than 25 miles. Thia
of course, Is in the extreme north, which
the weather and he impossible terrain
rule out. From Astoria, Or., to Yoko
hama the distance is 4200 neuticel mllM
which is far beyond the capacity of any
v-Kisiiug- airpiane in one night, except
with a hurricane ef wind blowing; in the
same direction all the way across. This

circuit of the earth without provision of
sneas or mooring; masts st various
pomes.
South of the direct line between As.
torla and Yokohama lie a large number
of islands, such as Honolulu, Jalult.
Guam, and many smaller islands be
tween and north and south of them.
Very .few of these, however, nrovide
suitable landing; ground; and the small
Mian as or the Pacific are. as a rule.
only coral reefs, whilst those of volcanic
origin are mountainous and rugged. At
uuam. Manila, and Honolulu, there are
suitable landing- places.
GREATE8T PISTAJiCE BEFORE
Apart from the crossing- in the extreme
north, there is a route south of the
Behring sea where the greatest seoarate
stage would be between Cnalaaka and
Petropavlovsk, a distance of 12(0 miles,
and thence to Yokohama. 1380 miles. It
is, however. Impracticable for climatic
reasons. Taxing- the San Frandsco-
Honolulu-Jaluit-Guam-Manila line, the
greatest distances are 2090. 2130. 1490
and 1380 nautical miles. On another
route, from 'San Francisco to Honolulu,
the Midway islands, .Wake, and Guam.
the greatest distances are 2090. 1140.
1050 and. 1200 nautical mile. The great
est separate distance hitherto' covered
by a land airplane was the 1680 nauti
cal miles by Alcock and Brown, in the
Trans-Atlantic crossing; and. by a fly
ing boat, the 1200 miles by the, NC-4
en a Trans-Atlantic voyage. It will be
seen, therefore, that to cross the Pacific
would call for -the accomplishment (and
more than once)' of a far greater dis
tance than sny yet made ; and the best
hitherto done were extremely lucky and
very exceptional. The question of pro
viding mid-ocean halts must therefore
be raised, and in that event 'either am
phibians or flying- boats would have to
be used in the Pacific section. If no
where else.
For the trans-Atlantic flights westerly
winds were necessary, and favorable con
ditions for the west to east crossing of
the Atlantic occur chiefly In April. May
and June. ' But if the round the world
flight be from. west to east It-will in
volve the passage of the Pactiie at. the
wide crossing of 4200 miles, or else by a
shorter way, but . in the teeth of the
northeast - trades, which continue prac
tically throughout the year, extending
from the United States almost to the
Philippines. In winter and spring they
merge into the monsoon along the South
Asiatic Below the equator the southeast
trades are met. and between the north
east and southeast; trades Is a narrow
sone around 10 degree north latitude,
where the winds are variable and usually
light But even if the air navigator se
lected this region he would still be faced
by the Ions tlisht from Honolulu to San
Francisco, the alternative being an even
longer one : and between Honolulu and
Ban Francisco the northeast trades pre
vail. .--
STORMS OFTEX YIOLEXT
The winter monsoons along the Asiatic
coast are often violent storms, and the
period in which these are prevalent must
be ruled out. The airman would almost
certainly have to choose May, June, July
Land August or this part of the circuit.
when the summer monsoons prevail, dur
ing which advantage could often be taken
of fair weather. - Tbe south Asiatic coast
and the Fhinpplnes "are subject to ty
d boons, which are most frequent in July,
August and: September, and least fre
quent in February.
The most northerly crossings of the
Paclflo are too commonly fog bound to
be considered, besides being almost hope
less for other reasons. But the fog
diminishes towards the Midway Islands ;
and -between IS degrees north latitude
and the equator there is scarcely any fog
except near the American coast. So far
as the present writer can ascertain, these
coast fogs are the rule rather than the
exception; bnt It must not be imagined
that comparatively narrow bands of fog
would be a serious deterrent.
It will be' seen from these general con
slderatlons that the extreme northern
routes are Impossible, and that the routes
taking m San Francisco and Honolulu
Would, if flown by aeroplane or flying
boats, call for mld-eeean refueling depots.
On the route Guam-Manila-Hong Kong.
February would probably be the most
favorable month. But how would the
successful accomplishment jof the Pacific
section from, east to west In February
fit in with the other parts of a round
the world flight? The answer is ex
tremely difficult to find, bat it is very
rarely that an ' airplane could cross the
Atlantic about 40 degrees north latitude,
