for the horseless carriages most enthusi-
astically.
But what do these horseless carriages
look like. and what kind of people ride
in them?
A horseIess carriage at first in the streets
of Paris was looked upon as a freak. 1t
was a good deal more of a curiosity than
a railway train ever was to the Chinaman
who looked 1t in establishment and said I:
NO pushee, no pullee; 90 alice samee.' -
There was absolutely no way of seeing how
the thing went. II must be remembered
that the hOrseless carriage is not a steam
propelled vehicle, and IL leaves not the
slightest trace of it's means Of Iocomotion
visible. There is no noise, such as steam
invariably makes, no exhaust, no waste,
no smoke, no cinders. The thing seemed
incomprehensible. They set there doing
nothing but directing the movements Of
a vehicle that seemed to go by itself
The earlier trips Of the new carriage were
attractive to idlers and many a "cocher''
received orders to follow and see how
long the curious thing went without hav-
ing to stop for fresh supplies of fuel
Many a Partisan horse got weary in the at
tempts. The new vehicle swept down the
Rue de Rivoli, out beyond the Musee du
Louvre and then returned up the hill of the
Champs Elysees and the more the horses
followed It the more tired they got with

where, when or how the curious affair got
it's power. 1t would be difficult to find
anything more simple, easy and graceful
in appearance than a horseless carriage.

were the aristocrats Of the city. The new
carriages were found TO be easy to manage,
easy to steer and delightful TO ride in.
