New York April 1O--Thc first public
DEMONSTRATION of the land and water We.
hiclc was given on Long island sound
saturday, says the World. Its promoters
claim that this invention. recently pat
cnted. surpasses all methods of aquatic
propulsion and land progression"
Certainly. jadcd automobilsts should
find new pleasure and excitement in this
amphibious vehicle. AS was clearly proved
1t combines the risks of the auto and the
motor boat. Any one propclling 1t appar-
ENTITY enjoys the double chance of smash
ing up on land or sinking to the bottom of
the sea.
Anton and Gustav Piller invented this
remarkable machine. They live with Ju-
nus Eisenstcin. at No. 1850 Prospect ave-
nu". the Bronx. and Mr.. Eiscnsten is
!d"eply interested in the vehicle. These

Anton sprang aboard. and the vehicle

carried it in a direction opposite TO that
in which he wanted to go.
"A gale doesn't affect it," Esonstein
was saying when the land and water vc-
hicle turned round and round and round
like a thing of life, initiating a spinning
top and then fioated down stream and
disappeared under a long pier Il quarter
of a mile below.
Anton is proving how easy it is to
control this wonderful invention" cried
Eiscnstein triumphantly. "Soon he will
show to YOU that it runs just as we'll on
land"
\ fain halloo sounded from Norta
Brother island.
'tie will run across the island" cX-
claimed Eisenstcin. Il pray only that he
will not be arrested for exceeding the
speed limit He will return quickly"
So he did. In a few minutes a long.
low. rakish rowboat appeared around the
end of the pier towing by chain the land
and water vehicle, which. as it proved.
had not landed anywhere. Anton was
making desperate efforts to keep the ma
chine upright. and it seemed that at any
instant he would need swimming tights
more than auto goggles. But he got
ashore dry.
when tho vehicle is perfected it will

'Then''-
He waved his arms through the atmos-
phcrc as If to indicate that then the land

Mariners Meet Floating Masses Alive

Last May on the equator. between Bor-

three was about GOO feet long and 200
