AUTO USED TO WIN A BRIDE.
by Fast Ride with Daughter
and Her Sweetheart,

The hearing of case at Paris where
the police made a charge of excessive
speeding of an automobile revealed a
new use for the machine. A merchant
and his daughter were riding in a car
driven by the merchants partner The
latter suddenly sent the machine for
ward at terrific speed. The mer-
chant, who was terrified at the rate
they were travelling, begged his part
ner to stop. The latter replied by de-
handing the hand of his daughter or
threatening otherwise to drive the ma
chine against a tree. 1t was a case
of the merchants daughter or his life,
and the merchant yielded

HIS NEW INVENTION.
COntrivanee That May Navigate the

SIR Hiram Maxim Announces That u
L. for Peace as Wen as for War
Says the Balloon Has
Its Limits.

IF you think my automatic gun has
influenced modern war" remarked
Hiram Haxim recently. my new inven-
ton, which can be used alike In war and
in peace, will in its effects be far more
far-reaching and Important You must
wait for 1t. l am perfectly satisfied as
to its practicability. but there are many
preliminary matters to be attended to
before bringing out inventions of this
kind. These preliminaries take time"
The nature of this new invention.
which is to cause revolution in its line.
will not be disclosed for ten weeks.
When asked IL it is flying machine Sir
Hiram did not deny 1t. Nearly two
years ago he offered $3.50. 900 to anybody
who would give him an idea for flying
machine without balloon attachment
THE airship of the future will not be
a balloon Of whatever shape or size"
said Maxim. Santos Dumont has
brought balloon dirigibility to the high
est point 1t can attain.
Stanley Spencer the other day gave
London demonstration of the inevita-
BILE. irremediable limitations OF the bal
loon. He came along from Crystal palace
to st. Paul's excellently. because he had
slant of wind In that direction, But he
had no more chance of driving his sau-
sage-shaped machine back against the
wind than he would have of driving a
real sausage through a steel plate.
Stanley is man Of the highest courage
He is the most expert ballonist We have
and has rendered great service to
aerostatics, But none greater than when
he showed the futility of attempting to
get balloon to go against even moder-
ate wind"
