AN AUTOMOBILE PALACE.
Philadelphia Man Invents n MEEnin
cent Car for Long Trips Upon
l., Pleasant Hyways.

Railroad palace cars are 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 B..
miles an hour is the latest creation OF
Yankee skill and Yankee ingenuity.
Mr.. S. c. Coombs, of Ph:laUv iphia. is
the inventor in that line Of uut ONO DileS
The car has four-wheeled truck I'M
der each end set a short distance back
from the ends, thereby bringing the
weight OF the car as near the CINE
as practicable in a car G5 feet lcng.
The wheels are four feet high; each
truck is constructed with heavy springs
and fifth Wheel like a heavy cj;c,is
wagon. Each wheel is fitted with tie
heaviest and best solid rubber tire hat
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 Il larger surface
on the ground, giving the car better
foothold, as it were, on soft roads or
climbing hills.
Mr.. COMBS 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 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 nre 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, 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 binds, 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. ..-
Il represented this undertaking to
Mr.. Roswell p. Flower - years ago."
said Mr.. Coombs, while 1 resided at
Wateftown, but the idea was too adj
-Sanced then. "-Cihcinnati ENQUIRER.

BY. LIGHTNING STROKE.
Lives md Property Destroyed in the
United States In 1S3S-SOme In
tcrestinE Statistics.

People who have not made the mat
how much damage to life and property
in the United States is caused yearly
by lightning \ little more than q
year ago the depart nIent Of agriculture.
through the weather bureau, of which
Willis l.. Moore is chief, undertook the
collection of. statistics on the subject.
While by no means complete they arc
certainly interesting. During the year
1898 there were over 1900 cases of de-
structive lightning strokes on build
ings, causing money loss. of about
$1,500,000. Three hundred and sixty
seven lives were lost and 494 persons
were injured. The regions, of great
est danger appear to be in Wyoming,
Mon tana, Colorado and North Dakota,
although this fact cannot be stated
absolutely until more complete statis~
tics are obtained. The killed through
out the country were in dwellings,,
barns, under trees and in the open.
The figures show that less people were
killed in the open than under trees.
which seems to prove what has often
been asserted, that tree is a very
dangerous shelter during a thunder
storm.
AS rule. the danger from lightning
stroke is least in closely built cities
and greatest in the country districts.
The ratio of deaths to the total popu-
lation, assuming it to be GS,O0Q.OC0. is
about five to the million. This is about
the same as in Germany and Austria,
but greater than in England and Wales.
and Norway and Sweden.
y fact Of great value to the farm
ers which has been brought. out by
the weather bureau concerns the kill
ing of live stock by lightning. The
loss in cattle to the farmers of the
United States in 1898 was about $50
000, and one-third Of all those killed
were in the vicinity Of wire fences. In
some cases the lightning struck the
fence at long distance from The cat lie
The weather bureau publication,
which is known as bulletin No. &c. de-
votes most of its first part to a discus
sion Of the eIectrifcatio of the atmos-
phere, the methods pursued by in
vestigators and the application of the
knowledge thus obtained to the con-
struction of apparatus for the pro-
lection from lightning. This latter is
intended principally for those who
either construct lightning rods them
selves or intrust the protection of their
property by such means to others. 1t
