AN AUTOMOBILE PALACE.
Philadelphia Man Invents a Magaifl-
cent Car for Long Trips Upon
Pleasant Bywnys.

Railroad palace cars are a familiar
sight to the public, but a car of like
proportions and something similar in
appearance and design that will speed
along the country roads from 20 to IS
miles an hour is the latest creation of
Yankee skill and Yankee ingenuity.
Mr.. S. C. Coombs, of Philadelphia, is
the inventor in that line of automo biies
The car has a four-wheeled truck I'M
der each end set short distance back
from the ends, thereby bringing the
weight OF the car as near the engine
as practicable in car 65 feet long.
The wheels are four feet high; each
trucl1,is constructed with heavy springs
and fifth wheel, like a heavy circus
wagon. Each wheel is fitted with the
heaviest and best solid rubber tire that
can be produced, which will relieve the
wheel and axle from heavy jar when
in rapid motion. The four-wheeled
truck at each end gives the car great
stability, because if one wheel drops
in a hole or crevasse the companion
wheel on the same side will maintain
the balance of the car and also distrib-
ute the weight over larger surface
on the ground, giving the car better
foothold, as it were, on soft roads or
climbing hills. I
Mr. Coombs' manner Of communicate
ing power to the wheels from the motor
is where his engineering qualities show
themselves. The wheels all work in
dependently of each other, the same
as any automobile, yet they are all
operated by means of two heavy ca
bles direct from one motor. The car
has a steering arrangement. at each
end-both ends of the car are alike
The car runs either way, and around
short curves and turns the rear trucks
follow in the same track as the, front
wheels, and the car is guided either
way by the one steering arrangement,
the car having pilot at each end. The
car positively will not upset on any
road.
There are two staterooms in the car,
furnished with closets and baths. The
bath tubs are let down in this space,
and are even with the under side of
the floor, a section of the floor being
constructed to cover it. The buffers
pantry is fitted with every modern
culinary device. Some of the, space of
the car is divided off with partitions
like folding blinds, making it possible
to throw two or three rooms into one,
The car is pointed at. either end, to
minimize atmosphere resistance. The
car cannot upset, for it can be seen
that all material and baggage carried
is near the ground, like ballast in the
bottom of ship.
i represented this undertaking to
Mr.. Roswell P. Flower IL years ago.
said Mr.. Coombs, "while I resided at
Water town, but the idea was too ad-
vanced then" ENQUIRER,

GREAT SEASON FOR DEER.
some Sections of the Country Are
Reported to Be Swarming with
the Game.

From the far north and far south of
that the present deer season is a good
one. Few think of the south as deer
shooting country, and yet we learn that
this year the wild swamp forest belt
between Savannah and the high lands
of Georgia is swarming with game.
Deer have been protected there for
some years now, but as a fact, the ma
ture of the country is their best pro-
lection ..~v.s ..o, = 80 - .s.s5;~>5t'
Imagine leaving the city of Savannah
at ten o'clock in the morning and at II
o'clock calmly surveying a splendid
buck just fallen from your bullet. That
was the experience week or two ago
of DR.. Corbin, of Georgia's chief sea-
port. A few days after that Albert
WILLY left Savannah at 80 in the aft
ernoon for Bourquin's plantation, a
few miles out in the woods, and within
IL minutes after his. arrival started up
four deer. He did not get any of them,
but the next day, being better pre-
pared, had better luck.
Aueoe lWO Instances snow what is
going on in Georgia. in a deer hunting
way. From the other end of the coun-
try the reports are quite as lively.
Maine has so many deer this fall that
they are appearing on the outskirts of
many large towns. The Portland Press
reports that a deer dashed across coun-
try, into the city limits Of Portland the
other day, and escaped before any of
the astonished citizens could get their
guns.
Even the moose are wandering out of
their businesses. These great animals
seeem to belong exclusively to the big
woods. For one to venture on to rail-
road track in a long settled region like
the town of Bridgton was very surpris-
ing, but it is not an isolated case.
In the town of Winslow one recent
Sunday large moose was seen, and
pursued for some distance. Winslow
is the next town to the busy city of Wa
terville, and it's settlement dates back
more than century and quarter. It
is many miles from the game regions,
and the presence of moose there indi-

The totally eclipsed sun, according
to Nature, can Only be observed for
something like three hours in a cen

ish minister of finance has given
instructions that all instruments

eclipse of the sun on May 27,
