FRENCH MOTOR RACING.
severer Conditions Imposed Every
Year Upon the Contestants.

From the Engineering Magazine.
1t reflects great credit on the automo-
bile manufacturers of France that each year
they have accepted the responsibilities and
difficulties involved by races made more
and more difficult and destructive to their
vehicles. Eight years ago they were invited
to send their vehicles for run of one or
two hundred miles over the best roads that
could be chosen in France; they might eff
feet all necessary repairs on the road, and,
if fortunate in escaping mechanical trouble,
the cars might run through from start to
finish without stop and almost without
slowing down.
Nowadays, however the successful COM
petitors in race are called upon to pass
through an ordeal such as probably no
other mechanical contrivance is ever sub
jected to. The race is not now over some
road in France chosen for its Straightness
and the perfection Of it's surface, but it
takes the most difficult route through three
countries.
1t extends from Paris to Vienna, crosses
Switzerland and the Tyrolean Alps, rises
above the snow line, and descends by a
torrent washed track over which the auto
mobilist must pass in danger of utter de-
struction at every turn before he can reach
his destination. This route of 1,40O kilo-
meters must be traversed in four days, at an
average speed considerably greater than
that maintained the railways which
pass through the same districts.
The automoblist must slow down at al
most every village, and must stop and re-
start twice at the controls of almost every
town. When he arrives at his destination
for the night he must drive his car to a
definite spot and there leave it without
spending a moment for repairs or adjust
ment, which must all be done on the road
on the following day and in time which
counts against his running time.
To crown all these difficulties, the con-
structor must put his on the road in
running order, to weigh not more than
1000 kilogrammes about 1917 hundred
weight) in the heaviest class, and to en-
able it to compete with its rivals in point
of speed it must carry an engine develop
ing fifty to seventy brake horse power.

Emperor William at His Best
From the London Spectator.


The owner Of the yacht Ariane, on which
M. Waldeck-Rousseau has recently been
cruising in Norwegian waters has pub
lished In the Figaro a lively account of
their meeting with Kaiser Wilhelm in the
Sorfjord. During his visit to the French
yacht the kaiser charmed every one by his
simple, courteous ways, his fluent French,
MS Astounding gayety. He asked leave to
inspect the yacht, and examined everything
with the utmost interest-looking at the en-
glnes. even questioning the cooks praising
the Breton sailors. and afterward engaging
IN a long conversation ION a thousand
things that concern the navy, philosophy,
social and foreign questions" On the same
evening the kaiser entertained the French
party to dinner on board the Hohenzollern.
Rhine and Bordeaux wines were drunk.
ana only french music was. played-Auber
Gounod, Bizet Delibes." Dismissins Welt
poiitfk, the kaiser talked with Nine Wal

theater and Partisan fashions Afterward
he showed his visitors his yacht ..aston
ishing M. Menier by his intimate knowi
edge of what French constructors have
done for the development of pleasure
yachts" and even allowed them to inspect
the bureaus where four secretaries were
engaged in reading and sorting kilograms.
Finally, when the Ariane sailed on the fol-
lowing day, the kaiser shouted "Au reyoir',
and Bon voyage" from the bridge.

LIFE IN A SUBMARINE BOAT.
English Seaman Describes His Expert
ence,

euCe.
From the New York Sum-
\ seaman who took part In the recent
trial of submarine boat in Stokes bay
gives an interesting description of his ex-
perlences.
He says the sensation when the boat is
diving Is very singular The Increased
pressure on the hull caused by the sub
mersion can be distinctly felt. He attrib-
utes this to the deadening of vibra ton
through submersion. There is plenty OF
light from the electric lamp. A sort Of
sreenish haze slants in through the glass
scuttles OF the coming tower. At a depth
OF two fathoms one can tell by peerfng
through one of these whether the weather
Is cloudy or the sun Is shining on the
water. The first sense is one of numb
ness, but he is inclined to believe that this
is more fanciful that real, and is caused
by feeling of helplessness. There Is no
perceptible vibration to the boat even when
the hull is submerged at a speed of seven
knots except for a slight tremor caused
by the working of the gasoline engine The
sense of silence Is profound
The longest time they were under water
was three hours and twenty-seven min
utes. Toward the Finish he felt slightly
nauseated. Two of the men aboard were
very sick The ringing In the ears seemed
TO be the chief trouble. All seamen on
submarine boats. so this sailor man said.
speedily grow pale The seaman said he
didn't like the life.
