NOVEL MOTOR WAGON.

London Chronicle
Experiments are being carried out by
the army service corps at AIdershot OF
various types Of self-propelled wagons
suitable for army transport. Among
these is one which enbodies quite a new
principle in traction The car, which
is of German build, really runs on rails,
like a railway engine, the lines being
laid as it goes along. The car is mount
ed on four small double-haHged wheels,
which rest on the inside of a large cir
cular rail, the outside surface of which
is fat, like a large steel tire. These
rails are not attached to the car, but
are kept in position by two smaller
fanged wheels, across its diameter. The
four circular rails at the sides of the
motor wagon give it the appearance OF
having a set Of large wheels without
spokes OF axles. All four wheels are
driven by the engines as they revoIve
the rails DO likewise, thus always pre-
senting q smooth and even surface to
travel over speed OF eight miles an
hour can be attained, drawing heavy
loads The engines. which are OF TWEEN
ty-eight horsepower, burn heavy petro-
ieUm. but are started with benzine-

A We'll Known Resident Died Last
 Night.
 William A. Briggs, a well known resi- dent of this city, died last night of heart failure very suddenly at his home, 636 State street. He was seventy years of age and for many years was a mem Der of the firm of Townsend & Briggs coal dealers. For the past few years he was the proprietor of a home bakery on State street and was very successful at this trade.
 MT. Briggs was apparently In good health yesterday; in fact, he said that he felt better than usual. He leaves a wife and four children, three daughters and one son. One of his daughters, Miss Sarah E. Briggs, is the principal of Skinner school. The other daugh- ters are Miss Della Briggs and Mrs. Rosella Ferry, both of this city. Waldo c. Briggs, the son of the deceased, is engaged in work on the Rapid Transit tunnel in New York. He is an ensi- neer in the Forty y-second street divis- ion.
 MT Briggs was an influential member of the First Baptist church. His fu- neral will take place from his late res idence on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
