A New Era In Transportation.


An automobile train that runs with
out rails the invention of Colonel Re
nard. well known French automobil
list, was the feature of the recent auto
mobile show at Paris Since then it
has been put into practical operation on
the streets of that city and has proved
thoroughly practicable.
The distinctive feature of Colonel
Renard's invention lies in the coupling
continuance which causes each OF the
cars to describe the same arc of curve
as that marked by the locomotive. Any
one familiar with mechanics can readi,
ly understand that some such appli-
ance would be absolutely necessary, as
without it each car would tend to draw
toward the center of the curve, thus
rendering a short turn impossible and
making travel in the crowded streets
of city impracticabe BY another
contrivance the locomotive on Colonel
Renard's train turns two wheels on
each of the vehicles. This result is
brought about by means of a revolving
shaft passing underneath the axles of
the cars. Couplings are made with
great facility. requiring little more time
and labor than are necessary in the
coupling of ordinary railway coaches.
The automobile train is also very light,
| the locomotive weighing no more than
the average automobile, and the cars
being but little heavier than carriages
and drays drawn by horses.
| The immediate use to which this in
vention is being put is in the hauling
of the products of market gardening,
If it served no greater purpose it would
solve u problem of long standing, for
/ the handling of market produce in an
expeditions way has proved difficult.
| But the motor train has in it potential.
! tiles of a much wider character. 1t can
be fitted to carry both passengers and
freight. the passenger train making a
speed of about twenty-five miles per
hour and a mixed train. mostly OF
freight cars, reaching about twelve
miles. If this can be achieved in q
first attempt, may not higher speed
even equaling that of the fastest auto,
mobiles, be attained through later i'm.
provements?
The possibilities of this new depar,
ture are almost beyond comprehension
When the rapid development of motor
mechanics is considered it takes nc
very great stretch of Imagination to see
in Colonel Renard's invention the be
ginning Of new departure in trans
portation and the possible supplantinG
of the entire railway system 1t has
only been decade since the automobile
came into general use. Suppose as
rapid Improvement is made in the
motor train in the next decade. What
mind can measure the possible result
In its appearance this invention OF
the French automobilist is startlingly
like the first locomotive and train made
by George Stephenson in England. Ii
1t, like that, to mark new era il
transportation methods and incidental
ly in human progress?

Change is the order of nature and of
the universe, and the handmade of pro-
gress. There are good people who waste
a lot of strength in resisting innovations.
1t is not possible to stand still. People
and things and systems are growing bet
ter or worse, and those who want the
same ideas in education, in business, or
in society that were in vogue in the
"good old times are apt to be unconsci-
ously standing in the way of progress.
AS one of the leading educators says Sc
cial and economic conditions have made
vast changes and unless educational
methods also change they are bound to
hinder more than help. At the same
time change merely for change sake is
all too common, and when there are so
many ways Of doing things and only one
that is best a mere difference may be-
come fad and block instead of help
toward real progress. Hold fast to all
that is good and keep a sharp lookout
for all that is better.

JOSEPH N. MARTIN.

Joseph N. Martin, man well known
in Island Pond, for years the locomo-
tive foreman of the Grand Trunk Rail.
way, position he resigned some years
since on account of ill health, died at
his home in Portland January %. We
find the following tribute of respect in
the Portland Press, contributed by
George c. Cobb, road foreman of en-
gines of the Island Pond division of the
Grand Trunk System:
With the passing away of Joseph N.
Martin we lose one of our old-fashioned,
large-hearted citizens, who will be
missed from our midst. He was all
eminent railroad man in his day, as his
long service with the Grand Trunk
company is evidence. He entered the
service of this corporation, and rose to
prominent position, purely through
his own endeavors, and his capacity to
accept increased responsibility. The
Grand Trunk engineers and firemen and
those that were his fellow employees are
deeply grieved at his death, having al
ways had warm spot in their hearts
for their old friend.
To those who have been his COM
panions in the past "afoot and afeld"
upon Scarborough marshes, down the
bay, in the woodcock coverts, at the
Crumple club, or upon the trout streams,
for our friend was an ardent disciple OF
the rod and gun, his going away will
come as a shock. True he was excitable,
and at times said things that were per-
haps ''strenuous," but the big heart of
the man showed through it all. Of the
old lot that is left, every one of us eau
remember some kindly act of the man
inst gone. He was always honest, strong
in his friendships, perhaps radical in
his dislikes. Always willing to do his
part of the hard work, and bear his part
of the burdens of the lay, and at night
in camp, his voice always rang out the
londest and heartest. A keen, honest
sportsman, lover of nature and we'll
versed i'll its laws, we'll learned in the
habits of birds and fish, he did not al
ways take the rod and gun and go
abroad to Stay, but was content to wan
der through the woods or by the streams,
although no birds were in the game
pockets or fish in the basket, happy to
know that he was abroad with nature.
These lines are written by one who has
passed many happy hours with the de
ceased and with the hope that it will
touch responsive chord in the hearts
of those of his old friends who are
slowly but surely nearing the same rest
into which our old friend has entered.
Yours truly,
G. Z. CoBB.

An Essex County Product.

The HERALD this week Is printed on
paper manufactured in Essex County, at
the paper mill at the village of Fitzlale,
in the town of Lunenburg. This pulp
ani paper mill plant, which was at first
the result of the business sagacity aud
progressive spirit Of our townsmen.
Messrs George II. Fitzgerald and Porter
IL. Dale. after whom the village (Fitz-
dale) was named, has been developed
during the past few months until today
it is one oI the most valuable plants OF
It's capacity in the country. 1t is said
that no more thoroughly constructed
mill can be found. The new company,
Mr.. Fitzgerald having sold a controlling
interest to progressive capitalists from
Portland, is determined to make of this
industry something of which any body
of interested individuals or the public
at large may well be proud. With ample
power in any ordinary season, using the
entire power furnished by the Connecti-
cut, the stumpage on thousands of acres
of timber lands in the north end of the
county, and with first-"lass mill in
every particular, the prospect for further
development is good. This is good
addition to the constantly growing
manufacturing industry of Vermont,
We are glad to attest to the splendid
quality of the finished product OF the
company's one hundred and forty-six
inch paper machine, and wish for them
such success as to prove the venture to
have been the vision of shrewd business
sense, and willingness on the part of
accumulated wealth TO develop nature S
resources for the growth of the commu
nifty in the exercise of industrial energy

The Whole Cheese.

tJohn D. Rockefeller is taking the cheese
,ure for indigestion,-New Item.l
If were only Rockefeller
How | should delight
In eating two inch golden bucks
At twelve O'Clock at night,
And then I'd seek my downy bed
And feast my eyes upon
Red rattlesnakes and prong tailed gnus
Until the breaking dawn.
If were only Rockefeller,
What JOY twould be
To make breakfast of mince slips
Spread thick with fragrant Brie,
And when ] took my morning nap
I'd hear the horrid screams
or loud carousing crocodiles
Go surging through my dreams.
If l were only Rockefeller,
Nothing could compare,
When thoughts of supper crossed my
soul
With toothful Camembert.
And, firmly ballasted with that,
The vastly deeps I'd dare
And bid bold defiance to
The dread of NAL de mer.
If I were only Rockefeller,
The grindstones that they make
In foundries in far Switzerland
I'd much prefer 70 steak,
While Edams red and Roqueforts
green
And Pont rEveques decayed
Within me like a pousse cafe
In layers would be laid.
If / were only Rockefeller,
All the rest of you
would sleep serene and dreamless
sleeps
The long night hours through,
For would buy on every hand
All cheese, both great and small,
And how could you have food for
dreams
When had got 1t all?
