of the driving wheel by two ratchet
wheels. The engine could be reversed
jat,will. There was steering gear, and
the vehicle proved it's capacity for
carrying a load of two, and one-haf
tons at a speed of three miles an hour.
Napoleon Bonaparte caused the app
pointment of a commission Of the in
stitute toinyastigate the invention, but
the revolution suddenly put an effec-
tual check on the further development
of the automobile. It is interesting
to note that in the matter of the
production of a practical automobile
France led the world in the eighteenth
century, as she now leads the world in
the building Of racing machines Of ire
mendous power.
The first American inventors to tackle
the steam propelled vehicle problem
were Oliver Evans of Maryland in 1877,
and Nathaniel Read Of Massachusetts,
in 1870. So
Richard Trevithick Of England in
1902 patented a steam carriage that
was distinct advance oyer previous
efforts.
By this time it came to be believed
that ordinary wheels were insufficient
to secure traction, and mechanical legs
were devised as propellers. The Cor
don machine, patented in 1924, was a
six-legged affair, the pedals being op-
Grated by steam. Goldworthy Durney
about the same time produced a steam
carriage which used legs as auxiliaries.
The steam coach patented by Walter
Hancock and named the "Autopsy"
was placed in commission, with four

Cape Top Luxurious.

Olos6 Den1nd th6 limousine ID COM
fort is the perfected cape top. This
covering, which, with it's side curtains,
celluloid windows and glass wind shield,
affords almost as much protection from
the elements as the limousine. It has
the advantage of less weight and can
be folded away in pleasant weather,
thus reducing the wind resistance and
giving the tourist chance to get the
full freshness Of the sun and air.
It's a noticeable fact that where
last year even the best machines had
to be especially fitted to take the cape
top they are now fully ironed for it
30 that the purchaser may order the
hood and curtains from the maker or
may have set constructed to suit his
particular fancy.
Wood still leads in popular favor as
the body material for high priced cars,
as it is not subject to the unsightly
dents which disfgure a metal body
after a seasons running and are prac-
tically ineradicable. The lighter cars
are built almost entirely with alum
mum or sheet steel bodies, which COM
bine the advantages of cheapness and
light weight.
Springs are Easy.
Spring suspension has reached what
appears to be absolute perfection. Sew
eral makers are suspending the body
and chassis from separate sets Of
springs, thus relieving the passenger
from the vibration of the machinery.
Greater power in proportion to the
weight is another distinguishing char
acteristic Of the 1906 car. Where last
season seven horsepower was consid-
cred sufficient for runabout, ten horse
power is now considered the proper
thing, and light touring cars are being
increased from sixteen horsepower TO
twenty horsepower motors and con-
trolling gears are little changed from
last year, greater efficiency being the
aim of the makers rather than innova-
tions Of any sort.
The tire question, which last season
seemed to threaten the future Of the
motor car, is apparently solved. The
Improvement in springs has decreased
the strain upon the tire. Tire makers
are abandoning the machine process for
hand work and the better tires pro-
duced this way promise to eliminate
the bullying, bEstering and bursting
which made long trip last season a
gamble against "the innate perversity
of things.'
There is no distinctive 1906 type of
machine. Different makes in the same
class look much alike and the only way
to tell a new car is its greater perfec'
tion in detail and the improved lines
and more comfortable riding of the
body.

Auto Construction Company.

The Auto Construction Company has
secured the agency for the Mlte ll

on the; foor of their commodious garage
at 14O1 Hennepin avenue. J. M. Muir

president and manager of the compa..
nv, attended the Chicago show and
closed agency contracts for these cars,
but only after careful inspection OF
nearly all the cars on the market. MT.
Murphy is well known in automobile
circles as one of the best mechanical
experts in the west, and he classes
these cars as among the best values to
be had.
The company has been engaged in
the automobile repair business for the
past three years and has one OF the
best equipped shops in the city. Their
garage has been enlarged recently, 60
that they may better care for the11
RAPIDLY increasing business. They make

WAGERs HIS WHEELS.
Motor Car Company Agent Is Strong

Judging from the amount Of "fan-

automobile dealers over the merits of
their respective cars, Minneapolis will
have her full share Of speed and hill
climbing contests this year. A number
of challenges have already been made
and accepted for contests which are
framed up to be pulled off as soon as
the snow leaves. So far, among two
cylinder cars, the Motor Car company,
local agents for the Jackson, is out
with the most sweeping challenge. J.

Greater comfort for the passengers
Is the distinguishing feature Of the
1906 models turned out by all auto
mobile manufacturers. Instead of feat
uring motors, control and transmission
in their catalogs the makers give first
place to suspension, springs and COW
erings. The Limousine touring car,
the acme of luxury in land travel, has
replaced the speed car as the proudest
Offering of the dealer.
Some of the limousine bodies turned
out by the manufacturers of high-grade
cars are sumptuous. Inside the weather
, tight, leather-padded passenger COM
! partment every conceivable convenience
is at the hand of the traveller. Window
shades which shut out the rays of the
sun can be raised by touching but
