AN AUTOMATIC HORSE.

Mr.. J. II. Nolan, whose ingenuity and
success as an inventor has already secured
him a high standing in the mechanical
world, has just invented novel means oil
locomotion. which is in the form OF an
automatic or self-propelling horse, the To-
comotion being produced by the weight OF
the rider and the weight which is carried.
The "horse" and its appliances are mod
els of mechanical simplicity, and any
amount of speed required can be secured,
in fact can be made to go mile faster
than the fastest trotting horse OF the day.
A small ''horse" capable OF carrying man
ten or twelve miles per hour, can be
built at from fifteen 10 twenty dollars ;
smaller ones, which can be- used 10y child
rem for amusement aud recreation, can be
built at from three to five dollars. The
horse" can carry considerable weight in
addition to the rider. The person sts IN
position as he would upon live animal.
with the feet in stirrups aud reins in hands,
in which position he can govern the speed
and guide the "horse" at will. There was
an exhibition made vi h one OF these
'.hol SEES" recently, in a ball in this city,
and although the room was small ana uh-
favorable for either speed or ease oi loco
motion, boy weighing sixty pounds,
propelled the 'horse" at from SIX to seven
miles an hour with the utmost ease. The
experiment thoroughly established the
practical value of the invention, boston
