recommended to hear a Wagner opera,
and to sit near the orchestra by the
trombones. The physician accompanied
his patient, and sat beside him. Sud

ments was at it's loudest, the deaf man
found he could hear. "Doctor,' he al

From the Motor World.


AS the result OF extensive experiment IN
the use of an automobile on the desert. O.
novel car has just been completed for tho
use of the Sirdar of Egypt who will use
it on the vast sandy stretches of the Sudan.
The motive power consists OF 20 horse
power three-cylinder vertical engine with
Renold silent chain transmission. The
wheels are entirely inclosed by light metal
side plates, leaving nothing but the broad.
solid rubber tires exposed. and II is thought
that the latter will remove the difficulty OF
getting over the surface of loose, shifting
sand without becoming embedded so deeply
as to impede progress. To prevent the fine
grit working into any part of the mechan-
ism the entire underbody is protected by
an ingeniously devised apron.
Either kerosene or gasolene suits the en-
gine equally well. and owing TO the char
acter OF the country to be trayersed, pro-
vision has specially been made for a three
days supply of cooling and drinking water.
as well as fuel. The change speed gear gives
a range of from three to twenty miles an
hour. The car will in addition haul a two
wheel trailer, very similar to a gun car
riage. upon which will be mounted a dy-
namo and searchlight to be run from the
car engine. This will be used for night OBJ
servations in the desert. Without the
searchlight carriage the weight OF the car
is close to 5000 pounds.
