The engine was directly behind the boiler and consisted of two 13-inch single-acting cylinders. The move ment of the piston was transmitted to the axle o f the driving wheel by two ratchet wheels. The engine could be reversed at will. There was a steer ing gear, and the vehicle proved Its capacity for carrying a load of two and one-half tons at a speed o f three miles an hour. Napoleon Bonaparte caused the appointment of a commis sion of the institute to investigate the. invention, but the revolution sud denly put an effectual check on the further development o f the automobile. It Is interesting to note that In the matter of the production of a prac- lcai automobile France led the woild in the eighteenth century, as she now leads the world In the building of racing machines of tremendous power.

About the same time probably the general utilization of the winds of heaven In the windm ills of Holland suggested the idea of "sail wagons," used to some extent on the flat plains o f that country. These were called "seylen de windwagen.” and consisted o f the rigging of a ship attached to wheeled platforms. In 1044 a patent of I,ouls XIV. granted to "Jean Theson the privilege o f employing a little four-wheel car riage set in motion without any horses, but merely by two men seated." The supposition, in the absence of detailed «irnwings. Is that the "men seated" propelled the vehicle by strenuous leg work. S ir Isaac Newton Is said to have In vented a steam carriage nfter others had conceived the idea of propelling vehicles by steam power. The devel opment along this line followed close ly that of the steam railrond. The latter, however, appeared so much m ore feasible to the In ven tu s that It was followed and the steam carriage Idea thrown Into the background. New to n ’s Idea was not original fundamen tally.

D u t c h S a il W a g o n s , .S eventeenth C entury were devised as propellers. The Gor don machine, patented in 1824. was a six-legged affair, the pedals being op erated by steam. Goldworthy Durney about the same time produced a steam carriage which used legs as auxil iaries. The steam coach patented by Walter Hancock and named the “ Au topsy" was placed in commission, with four others, between Stratford and Paddington In 1836 and did a lively passenger business. The more recent development of the automobile Is bet ter known. In 1886 Charles E. Duryea conceived the notion of propelling a carriage with a gasoline engine, and two years later partially produced a A, C L o c k V o ftK m* ■ t A FASHION HINTS tmc different world.

Not long afterward a negro was lynched in this town, and fear* of a “ race riot" were entertained. A customer entering the shop found the barber packing up his tools, and learned that he proposed to return to South Carolina. "T h ere la too much lynchtn’ goln’ on in these parts." declared he. “ 'T ain 't safe round hyar." "W e ll." replied the customer, “ don't you know there are just ns many lynchings down South as there are here?" "Yes. sir.
