Written for The Evening Star
And now the automobile has become an
engine of war On the 18th of September
a company of cadets in command Of Major
r. P. Davidson of the Northwestern Mill
tary Academy, near Chicago, will set out
for a thousand-mile trip to Washington
with an automobile cannon carriage, carry
ing Colt automatic gun. This gun has
just been completed by the Duryea's of
Peoria, Ill. 1t will be propelled by six
horsepower gasoline motor, and 1t weighs
about 1000 pounds The cost will be some
thing like 1,500 1t will have three rubber
tired Wheels two behind and one in front,
with seats over the rear axle for four gun
ners, side bars being provided as on a gun
caisson to which the men may cling when
the cannon carriage is driven into action
The gun is carried a triangular frame
in front of the seat with a muzzle pointing
forward, so that the gunners may operate
1t with the carriage going thirty miles an
hour. The body-work of this vehicle has
all eady been thoroughly tested. so that
neither Major Davidson nor the manufac-
turers have the least doubt that 1t will
make the trip to Washington and draw up
before the War Department with a mes
sage for Secretary Root in as good condi-
ton as it was when the company started.
| Major Davidson, who Is superintendent
of the Northwestern Military Academy,
near Fort Sheridan, has already made him
self known in military circles for his dar-
ing experiments with the bicycle for mill
tary evolutions, that his experiment
with the automobile for possible use in the
artillery will be looked upon with great in
terest. The equipment of the gun on the
expedition to Washington will include
everything necessary to take 1t into battle.
1t will have, besides 1000 rounds Of ammu-
milton, all Of the necessary tools for re-
pairing breakdowns, some duplicate parts
where weakness is suspected. and supply
of gasoline sufficient to carry it for several
days. Besides this, the manufacturers have
devised an apparatus for pulling the car
riage out of bitches and over embank-.
ments. 1t consists of a light but strong
wndlass and tackle, and while Major
Davidson does not expect to have any
especial use for it on good roads, 1t is
adjunct which will be invaluable in battle.
The advantages which piece Of artillery
of this nature offer to military force are
extraordinary 1t is capable of travelling
thirty-five miles an hour, whereas horses
are doing well to cover ten miles an hour
and having Travelled at this rate for two
hours they worthless for further work
Think Of the advantage in initiative which
such a fighting machine would have! 1t
could advance with hardly less swiftness
and force than cannon ball itself, make a
sudden spirited attack and turn and be out

Of the way before the guns Of the enemy
could be brought to bear. There would be
no horses to stumble or be wounded, and
owing to its compactness and small size it
would furnish a poor target even for expert
rifiemen. Neither would there ever be any
loss of time in getting into position for fir
ing. The ordinary modern gun must be de-
tached from the horses which draw 1t,
turned about by the men who have follow
ed in the limbers, and then prepared for &C
ton. The automobile gun has its muzzle
always toward the enemy and it is ready
for action even while the wheels are still in
motion. While Major Davidson believes
that his new machine will be of the greatest
importance for actual military operations
suggests that its most evident use viii be

racing road by a humble petroleum car.
M. Rene de Knyff gave the word to start,
M. JenatZy turned on the current and
braced himself leaning well forward with
his hands firmly clasping the steering
wheels. The. car moved off somewhat
slowly at first. but after going about ten
yards, literally bounded forward, the
wheels for a moment almost leaving the
track. There was a blue-gray streak down
the road, a faint cloud of dust and the
famous carriage was making more than a
mile a minute. The sound of the motor
was described by a spectator as resembling
the rustling of wings, the car undulated
like a swallow in flying. this no doubt be-
ing due to the action Of the springs and the
rubber tires. Nothing had ever before
Travelled on a common road at such a speed
and the spectators were anxious to know,
not whether JenatZy had broken the rec
ord, but by how much he had broken. The
wheels left two broad white tracks in the
middle of the road, absolutely straight
and converging in the distance like a line
of rails. 1t was a remarkable exhibition of
accurate steering. Indeed, If Jenatzy had
swerved an inch to the right or to the left
he would not have survived to tell the tale.
After the trial was over 1t was found that
La Jamais Contente" had made sixty-six
miles an hour and NJ Jenatzy went away
declaring that he should soon make sew
enty-five miles an hour.

The Piano Detective.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Did you ever hear of piano detective?'
The city hall detective scratched his head
refectively and then was compelled to adj
NIT that he had never heard of such an in
dividual
We'll, there are a dozen or more Of them
in Philadelphia, and they make good money,
tco"
Their work is simple. You see great
many piano firms sell Instruments on the
installment plan. That is, the purchaser
pays say $50 down on a $500 or $500 in
strument and agrees to make good the re-
mainder at so much a month. By far the
greater number of such purchasers are as
honest as the day Is long, but once in a
while a man comes along whose little
scheme is to move out the piano a day or
two after 1t is delivered and sell it for a
couple of hundred.
ut is the business of the piano detec-
tive to circumvent this sort of thing. As
rule, some suspicious movement on the part
of the wOuld-De defrauder of the piano
dealer causes him to be placed under sus-
picion. The dealer can't step in and take
his instrument away under the contract
and the only thing he can do is to watch it.
Here is where the piano detective comes in.
He hovers around the house in which the
suspected purchaser lives night and day,
watching any attempt to make away with
the piano. Usually three or four weeks are
long enough to settle the question one way
or another. If the piano buyer is crooked
he is practically certain to make some sort
of move before the expiration of that
time. If he doesn't it is pretty safe pre-
sumption that the suspicion is groundless
and the piano detective is called off by his
employer, with no one but himself and two
or three others the wiser. But the pre-
caution Is necessary one"

of the Maxim gun, was sent to Paris not
long ago by one of the foremost Ameri-
can automobile manufacturers to get hints
for the development of the American We
hicle. He was astonished to find that in
almost everything except speed the Ameri-
can vehicle was already superior to most
way, he says that the development Of motor
carriages in European countries is con-
sidered an evolution Of the locomotive,
whereas in this country it is regarded as
a development OF the wagon The French
man loves his machinery AS he speeds
along the boulevard he likes to have plenty
Of wheels and lovers plainly In sight He
likes to sit like a god in his machine, for
it gives him pleasant sense OF superior
ity to feel that he is guiding such a COM
piicated mechanism. 1t does not matter 10

him II his machine smokes and rattles and
jars, so long it will go and go rapidly.
In this country the very fact of visible
mechanism makes automobile unstable
One manufacturer carries for his trade line
A child can run it, He emphasizes the
simplicity of operation and enlarges on how
little the operator is compelled to do in
stead of how much. The American also
likes to have his automobile as beautiful
as possible, so the manufacturer covers up
all the machinery with polished carriage
box and makes the vehicle look as much
like an aristocratic carriage as he possibly
can.
As Racing Vehicles.
But in the purely racing automobile the
Frenchmen are far ahead of the Americans,
although there are indications that this
supremacy will soon be challenged. The
Frenchman has to his credit a vehicle
which will actually run at the rate of
mile minute Indeed, a recent automobile
race in Paris has awakened the interest of
the entire civilized world. Previous to this
race both NJ Rene de Knyn and Count
Chasseloup Laubat of Paris had made sixty
miles an hour on an ordinary road track.
Just think of it! Faster than the Empire
State Express, and that with no advantage
of steel rail nor level roadbed But even
the records of these two famous racers
have been beaten by NJ. Jenatzy with his
lightning carriage, La Jamais Contente"
c'The Never Content'O. This wonderful
vehicle Is built of sheet iron in the form Of
long cigar or torpedo, so that it plunges
through the air like dart
The wheels are very small and of course
fitted with rubber tires. There is a man
hole in the top of the vehicle where the
driver sits Just in front of 1t there is a
little steering wheel and electrical meters
to show the voltage and ampereage of the
current. To see La Jamais Contente'' one
would think that no driver ever would dare
to risk his life upon it. And. indeed after
the current is turned and the wheels
begin to revolve, 1t is either fly or burn
SO tremendous is the power Of the bat
teries
At the famous record trial La Jamais
Contente" was towed out from Paris to the
