Another thing is the need of rapid
movement OF batteries from one point to
another Rarely does it happen that a
battle is fought where the face of the
country is not absolutely mountainous
that quick transportation of artillery does
not, or would not, often save the day, which
seems irretrievably lost. With the auto
motives the problem of rapid transporta-
ton would be solved. No longer would
it be necessary for the impatient COM
manders 10 await the approach of artillery
drawn by plunging horses. Instead, the
autocar would flash from point to point
at the speed OF an express train. So
strongly is it built that it could move over
almost any kind of ground. The engine
is of sufficient power to drive it through
places where the ord mary gun carriage
would stick hard and fast Its tires OF
heavy rubber would give it buovancy
that nothing in the way of present wheels
of artillery would approach. In fact the
ordinary evils and dangers which beset
to the autocar.
MOI only is the principle of transporta-
ton, which the autocar represents, appli-
caple 10 the moving ABOUT OF artillery, but
it is held there is no reason why it
should not eventually be applied with
equal success to the transportation of
troops. What it is asked. is to hinder
the construction of a mum Der of autocars
of sufficient size to accommodate from
twenty-five to forty men. 1t is held that
the result would practically be the move
ment OF troops from one point to another
at all times at railroad speed. The neces-
sity for the constant watching of railroad
tracks, the endless delays of tearing up
the rails and burning up the bridges would
be altogether avoided. The army would
have its railroad cars with it at all times,
while the rails would never have to be
considered.
The autocar utilized as means of trans
portation Tor other than artillery could
also be made exceedingly valuable in
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-01-17

1t is heavily armored and warranted to
Withstand any sort Of fire except that of
artillery.
The motive power of the autocar is a
sixteen horsepower electric motor, which
is very compact, located in the safest part
of the car. The car is shaped at the front
something after the fashion of the bow Of
the monitor, and really looks not unlike
huge turtle. The rapid-fre guns, which
are discharged by machinery, are mounted
front and rear, although lhey can be
swung from side to side if necessary. 1t
is the intention of the originator of the
car, however, to have the battery work
just as the guns are pointed IN the Illus
tration.
The car is easily managed and can be
steeTed in any direction desired by means
of wheel that looks something like the
brake of an ordinary freightcar. The
wheels and the running gear CT the inven-
tion are so constructed that turns at
acute angles can be made without danger
of upsetting and thus Gripping the powers
of the car. Not only isethis true, but the
maneuvers can be accomplished while the
car is running at q speed close to forty
miles an hour, though the inventor thinks
that careful management might enable
them to be made at the speed limit, which
is forty-five miles an hour.
AS stated, the guns OF the car are both
of the rapld-fir variety and are capable of
causing tremendous execution, as they are
regulated TO fire the ammunition at the
rate of so to 700 rounds per minute. The
possibilities of the autocar are almost linn
itless In the first place the rapidity OF
locomotion is such that it could almost
enhlade an entire regiment Of itself be-
fore single battery could be brought INTO
action against it. The ordinary infantry
fire would be like so much bird shot, so
far as Gripping the machine or its crew
are concerned. 1t would be as impregna-
bic to anything as the most modern fort.
Again half dozen OF these machines
sent through the streets of city after the
besleging troops had gained entrance
would do more damage than as many regi-
ments OF the finest infantry or cavalry
that ever wore uniform. 1t is more like
the constant discharge from heavy bat
teries going at a keen gallop than any
thing else, and there is no veteran OF any
war who does not realize how often the
could go into action without having to
stop every time to timber Up.
Perhaps, however, the most important
fact of all regarding the autocar is that it
opens the way to a class of invention
which is likely to entirely revolutionize
modern methods of war on land. No less
authority than Major Flood Page, one of
the greatest military geniuses OF to- day, is
quoted as saying that with the coming of
the autocar the class of engines of war
known as automotives has come into ex-
istence. For many years there have been
all sorts of theories as to the transporta-
tion of engines of war on the field of bat
tie. Past experience has shown that in
every battle at least 1873 per cent OF the
artillery has become practically useless
soon alter going into action.

cations for stree!-paving and side-walking
with California asphalt, in order TO give the
taxpayers and property-owners OF our City the
benefit OF the competition OF this material
with other street-paving materials, and in
order to produce the best paved streets at the
least cost.
Under the present specifications the only
smooth pavemen permitted is that made OF
bituminous rock, which is often far from per-
feet. The ir PRODUCTION of asphalt, which is
the standard paving material of the East, Will
raise the quality of the work done here, and at
the same time by competition will lower the
cost
1t is not proposed herein to restrict or pro-
hibit the use of any material at present en-
ployed. 1t is desired only to widen the com Pc
tition to the end that our City may readily
and at the least expense enjoy the use of pave
ments equal to the best that can be laid.

Accom- anying the petition is the fol-
lowing letter from the highway improve
ment committee of the North California
Division, League of American Wheelmen:
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Is, 1897.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of the
Citv and County of San FraRctsc0-G ENTLEMEN
committee that our present street speeifca-
tions make no provisions whatever for the use
or California asphalt as material for street
paving in this City.
From the investigation of this committee we
are able to state that this material is recog-
nized as of great value for paving purposes by
many municipalit ties, and il is our belief that
the specifications of this City and County
should be so modified to afford an oppor-
tunity for its use in our pavements.
We therefore urge upon your honorable
body the early adoption of such specifications
as will permit the use of California asphalt in
com ne tltion with other materials now used
upon our streets, believing that this extern
sion in the range OF paving materials will re-
suit in better streets through the added ele-
ment of competition thus provided for. Re-
spectfully,

Wheelmen, Q. MICHENER, Secretary.

Nearly All of Them Have Some Bad
Accident to Their Discredit.
Somehow or other royal and imperial
princes who have adopted seaiaring life as
a profession seem TO be pursued with i'll
luck. AT Petersburg not long ago the
Grand Duke Alexis, Lord High Admiral
of the Russian fleet, managed to run his
yacht into the Russian steamship Limor-
no with little damage to the latter, but in
juring the yacht to the extent OF some 100,
600 roubles.

with his record besmirched by the loss OF
his flagship, the Sultan, on a rock near
Malta. The Queens nephew. Admiral

ticular for his feat in running down the
yacht Mistletoe in the Solent while in
command of the royal yacht, the Queen
herself being on board. Several lives were

The sailor brother of the Emperor OF
Germany has hitherto escaped maritime
disaster from the relatively small amount
of sea service that he has done. But his
misfortunes on land have been uncom-
monty numerous, especially when he has
been ont shooting. Not only did he Sc
verely injure Greek gentleman by the
accidental discharge of his gun at Corfu

A Most Wonderful
Machine Of War
"a Park row.

T&FTERE is an invention, just made pub
%S lie. which the foremost military
HgEN authorities of the world say is
likely to change the entire war problem.
1t is called the autocar, and is an inven-
ton which transports a battery of two
rapid fire guns, two soldiers and 10000
rounds of ammunition over ground at a
speed not exceeding forty-fve miles an
hour.
This remarkable invention, which is
shown in the acc ampanying illustration,
is practically the latest war machine
which the brain of man has conceived. 1t
is designed by E. J. Pennington of Coven-
try, England, and a practical trial has
proved it distinct success. The vehicle
rests upon four wheels OF solid steel with
solid rubber tires four inches in diameter.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-01-17

moving supplies. 1t would have to be
sharp action ind led that would seize a
supply train of this sort, for it would be
just as easy to arm every supply car as TO
let it go in defenseless condition. Every
supply train would then be protected by
rapid-fre batteries and an attempt to take
a train of this sort would be almost as dis
astrous as general engagement, for it
would require very considerable number
of troops to successfully accomplish such
an undertaking.
Whatever may be the future OF the auto
car, however, there is no gainsaying what
the invention that is in existence to-day
can accomplish. So formidable an engine
OF war it is that the military eye of the
wo rid is turned upon it.

A Great Find.

One Of the greatest finds of treasure ever
known was that of Russian in the village
OF Starogarsiki. The man was a resident
on the estate of Prince Ostersby, whose
ancestors were plundered and expelled
from their possessions by the Tartars. The
treasure was probably secreted by the FAM
lily at the time. The man had been given
his clew somehow or another, and he
worked ten years before finding anything.
At last he came across twelve large boxes
filled with very ancient coins of fine gold,
besides many other articles OF great
value. The total value OF the find was
given at 1900. 900 rubies, two.thirds of
which went 10 the state and one-third TO
the finder, making his share about So, 00O,-
900.
