THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.
1t Was an Ancient. Self Moving
Shrine of BncchuS.

Few, perhaps, are aware that the
first automobile, considered in the sense
of q Vehicle containing within itself
powers of locomotion, of which there
is any authentic account was a self
moving Shrine of Bacch1ls.
This was the invention Of Heron of
Alexandria, who describes it in his
work on automatic mechanism. The
shrine in question WAS mounted upon
two supporting and two driving wheels.
On the axle of the driving wheels was
a drum. about which was wound a
rope, which passed upward through
the space on one side of the shrine over
pullnys and was fastened to the ring of
a ponderous lead weight, which rested
upon a quantity of dry fine sand. The
escapex1sf this sand through small
hole i the middle of The floor of the
compartment containing it allowed the
! lead weight gradually to descend and
by pulling upon the cord caused the
shrine to move slowly forward in
straight line.
Heron describes the method of ar
ranging and proportioning the wheels
, in case it WAS desired that the shrine
move in q circular path. He also shows
how the shrine can be constructed to
move in Il straight line at right angles
to each other.
Officials of the patent office overlook
cd the device Of Heron when they
granted patents or slot machines. not
withstandin@ that previously Thomas
Eubank, commissioner of patents in
1850 illustrated and described Heron $
invention. The mechanism Of the lat
ter is almost identical With that in the
modern device and simply serves as an.
other proof Of tho saying There is
nothing new under the sun. Wasl.-

DR. DIAZ DID NOT SPEAK

Asheyille, N. O., May 12.-The fifty seventh session of the Southern Baptist Convention was tonight brought to close after a four-days' session. It Is a 1eneral consensus of opinion among the delegates that a more pleasant or more profltnble session has never been spent.
 The features of the concluding session were a lecture by Dr. J. M. Carroll or Texas on the "Federation of Baptist Schools in each state" followed py an address of Dr. Hatcher of Richmond on .rhe Method of Securing and maintain ing Such a Federation.

 DIaz Had Nothing to Say.
 "The relation of Brother A. J. DiaT with this convention has existed entireiy through the home mission board. Some time ago he resigned, and in this way his relations with the convention nave been dissolved; therefore this commit tee does not think this resolution desir- able"
 It was reported by the committee that m. T1iaz declared he had nothing to say to the committee. The report was adopt ed.
 Dr, Diaz left this afternoon directly Tor Havana. He expressed himself as being delighted with the meeting, and said ne would carry away with him only the most pleasant remembrances of the occasion.
 At the afternoon session of the conven- ton a telegram from the general confer ence of the Methodist church, in Dal- las, was read, saluting the conference and wishing 1t abundant prosperity.
 The Rev. H. s. Mallory of Selma, Ala, presented the report of the committee on | finance.

The carpenters strike situation remains unchanged. few contractors were at work in a limited way last week, and a few, not more than three or four, were at work yesterday. There was talk Sat- urday of starting up all along the line," by Monday but those who were not at work yesterday said they did not intend to resume before Wednesday. Some de- clared they were waiting for delayed ma terial. The number of carpenters em- ployed by contractors who had been working only city union mechanics is said to be less than fifteen.
 The Master Builders Association held a meeting at Turn-Verein Hall last night, but no action was taken. After discuss ing the strike the members spent some time in considering a proposition to se- cure permanent quarters. There was some talk of erecting a builders ex- change. The meeting adjourned until Thursday.
 While a large majority of the contrac- tors who belong to the association had been employing union men, two or three of the most prominent have operated with non-union mechanics for some time
