Electric carriages appear to he favored by the
women that attend the show at Chicago. They
admit the good points of steam and gasolene. but
the dainty appearance OF the electric carriage the
lack Of odor. noise and vibration all tend toll, to in

the park driving modern vehlcleS.
An undesirable feature OF steam motor vehicles
has been the frequent necessity OF filing the water
tanks which Is always a laborious task, but this
drawback is now removed. as inspection of a
new steam carriage will prove. A water syphon
is fitted the tank, and to it is connected hose
at the end of which Is a strainer TO- hiter the
tachment it is only necessary TO drop the hose into
some waysde stream or corner WAFER 'oIgn a tbe
tanks will be filed with filtered water In this
desiTabie feature Without the syphon arrange
ment the operator must needs fill the tanks OF ms
vehicle by the aid OF bucket, and delays ana dis
comfort are thus caused.
Both steam and gasolene machines require
muf1ers In a steam carriage the muff1er serves
n double nurpose-it reduces the sound Of the ex-
haust and it helps to render invisible the exhaust
steam.
A we'll known automobile company who builds a
steam carriage has designed muffier to meet a
third requirement, and that is to heat the feed
water 1t takes a certain length OF time TO orlns
cold water I'D to the boiling point, and such delay
