DUsT-RAIsING MOTOR CARS.

The automobile follows Horace's principle,
and changes its skies but not its manners when
II goes across the The motor of Cathay
breaks the speed laws, makes hideous noises,
emits vile smells and throws up clouds of dust,
'.aIlee samee Mclean motle' In Shanghai its
misdoings have become a predominant issue or
the day. especially the raising of the dust Ways
and means for suppressing the nuisance are De-
ing publicly discussed, all who do not ride IN
motor cars being agreed that something must
be done but each having his own views to
what that something should be. One inventive
genius proposes that each motor shall be
compelled to carry water tank and sprnkllng
attachment. and to sprinkle the street as it goes
along using for the purpose perfumed water.
Thus he says. the dust will be laid, the stencil
of gasolene will be neutralized and the car, by
the weight of its load of water, Will be re-
strained from going too fast
We have not heard that this scheme has been
adopted, and we have little expectation of see
ing it introduced into this country; but, serl-
ously the action of automobiles upon roads. In
throwing up dust and otherwise. is a matter
urgently demanding attention. The capacity OF
the average machine for raising the dust on
macadamized or earth road is very great. When
II is running at high speed the dust cloud
thrown up by an automobile is intolerable. ana
when II is running AT mOueTdte Spttu liic Huo'
is greatly in excess of that thrown up by team
of horses at the same speed. The reasons for
this appear to be several. One is the form or
the wheels with their broad tires. Another
is the fact that the machine lies so low on its
axles leaving so little space between 1t and the
ground and thus creating far stronger draught
underneath it than there is beneath a horse
drawn carriage. y third is the irregular under
surface of the average machine, it having been
proved by experiment that the providing of a
smooth under surface-as. for example, by
stretching a sheet of leather or OilclOth under
the car-greatly lessons the amount of dust
stirred up.
There are other respects in which automobiles
have a novel and unfavorable effect upon roads.
Their great weight has in some cases proved
disastrous to roads intended for only pleasure
driving. On roads with comparatively soft
surfaces, such as that part of the Ocean Park
way which is used for horse racing, they make
longitudinal ruts so that the whole roadway
is corrugated 10 the discomfort and annoyance
of drivers Of other vehicles. Thus whole new
set of highway problems is raised. Some or
these NAV be solved by changing systems or
road construction so as TO adapt the highways
to motor traffic. Some of them especially that
relating to dust. should surely be solved by i'm
provements in the form and construction or by
reforms in the running of the engines them

course no change could occur without some
inherent variability in them. Just as there
bas apparently been an enormously extensive
trausmutation of animal and vegetable spe-
cies. so the physicist is coming to think that the
elements are not permanent. but mutable. With
in the last three four years the old Greek con-
lectures on this subject have obtained startling
but not complete corroboration. Sir William
Ramsay has shown that in some mysterious
way radium seems TO turn into helium; and
j. j. Thomson. one of Professor Darwin's asso-
ciates at Cambridge. has satisfied himself that
the atom Is composite body, and liable to go
to pieces under certain circumstances. There
is growing disposition, therefore, To suspect
that in matter there is an instability paral-
leIing that which the fossils indicate has char
acterized the forms OF life
Professor Darwin makes striking compari-
son between the rates at which the two kinds
OF modification take place. Alterations in
species have required many centuries The
conversion Of radium into helium is apparently
instantaneous. However there is another line
along which material transmutation has been
