SANDY HILL, N. Y. July 3.-After three
years Of constant mechanical experiment 10.
seph Barsaleaux, a blacksmith Of this village,
has invented a steam horse that promises to
revolutionizo cheap locomotion. The horse
does not move on legs, but on n single wheel
about two feet in diameter. This wheel is at
tached to shafts. just as is u live horse. Over
the mechanism constructed on an oblong sup
port covering the top OF. the wheel is the frame
Of a horse. The reins attached to the mouth of
the steam horse. when pulled will cause the ami
NAL to turn In whatever direction the driver
may desire.
Mr.. Barsaleaux is not a common black.
smith. He is a highly skilled mechanic. He
has attached, his inyention to a two-wheeled
of tho steam horse and has operated it with
complete success. The single front wheel Is

tho speed of the machine. AT present Mr..
Barsaleaux can run his machine two, four, or
six miles an hour, as he may desire. The par.
working is q contrivance that will permit tho
running OF the vehicle backward without re-
versing the engine.
At present the machine weighs $50 pounds.
Eventually the weight will be, reduced to about
$50 pounds. The dummy horse that will
cover tho machinery. on, tho front wheel will
resemble tho horses, displayed in carriage fac
uphill more satisfactorily than 1t does along
sandy roads. but Mr.. Barsaleaux says that he

From the WfIkesbarre Record.

Edmund Carey Of Benton was one Of the carly
residents OF Wilkesbarre, and was born Aug. IL,
ls22, on a farm at the lower end Of town, now
after the family. His father, George Carey, was
one of the settlers who had tho handling OF the
first anthracite coal in Wyoming Valley. He
now known, as Plains township, in 1915. and In
the spring OF that year loaded . raft, with sew
to Harrisburg, whore they sold the raft load OF
forty tons OF anthracite for $40. They were dis
couragcd Mt such remuneration, and left the
transportation OF coal dormant until 1920. when
they took another raft load down and failed to
find q buyer. They were so discouraged that
they dumped their load OF black diamonds into
the Susquehanna at Harrisburg. and. as far as
these early pioneer shippers were concerned, the
opening up of a coal market was ended.
