kss Peculiar Advantages for Use in Au.
 tomobIIes.
 The latest novelty in automobiles Is one propelled by carbonic acid. the in- vention of c. D. P. Gibson Of Jersey City. Describing the model now in op- eratien: Inside the box, toward the rear, is an engine weighing only thir- ty-six pounds, and having cylinders whose diameter is one and seven eighths, with a four-ineh stroke. On either si3s of it, and reaching length wise in the box, are arranged fasks. or cartridges. of Gquid carbonic acid, coupled to each other and to a slender tube that feeds the engine. By means which MT. Gibson does not yet describe. the fluid is vaporized and expanded in the cylinders. A working pressure of from 1000 pounds upward is thus made available. The crank transmits it's mo- tion by sprocket and chain to the rear axle of the wagon without any inter- mediate shaft or gear. The sprocket on the crank shaft has nine teeth. and that OAA 1A1S hd5Ct1 cNtG NcS 6iAlC6u-IHCH sproekeD has twenty-nine. The driy, CTS are thirty=eight-lnch wheels. With the simple mechanism here described MT. Gibson is able to run his wagon up the most astonishing grades. He climbs those appalling hills for which New Jersey is famous, and believes he can go where no gasoline motor can follow. He takes his wagon through deep, dry sand, too, where it would be almost impossible to take any other self=propelled carriage. Without thQ carbonic acid fasks and engine the carriage which he showed to a report CT the other day would weigh nearly 400 pounds. The fasks, contents and engine added about 400 pounds more. Some 300 or 600 pounds of human freight have been put into the wagon on occasions. A total load that is scarcely less than 400 pounds has thus been moved up hill and down with the utmost sase.-New York Tribune.

FRESHMAN SUSPENDED.
Nattonalist Member OF Parliament
Leaves House In Defiance.

London, Aug. s3.-Dr. Charles Tanner,
nationalist member of parliament for
the middle division Of Cork. has been
suspended, and altho the suspension
was only for one night, 1t was accom-
panied by scenes that would have done
credit to the most disorderly legislature
in the world. After opposing vote in
supply, DIR. Tanner was appointed a
teller. Subsequently to the division the
chairman announced that DIR. Tanner
had grossly insulted him on account of
the appointment, and that in conse-
quence he would suspend him for the
remainder of the sitting.
Gesticulating wildly DIR. Tanner de-
fed the chairman. the house and the
whole English nation. Amid a deafen-
ing uproar he declared that the chair
man was merely one of the premier's
minions. and then he exclaimed: II
defy the whole lot of you. throw that
\ in your teeth. AS an Irishman I leave
the house with greater pleasure than
ever entered it,"
Then, While staid members rose In
their seats and tried to drown these ut
terances, DR.. Tanner, still yelling def.
4 ance, went out.
