Air Tore His Face.

After he stepped out ef his machine at
Ormond, two miles beyond the finish,
Marriott said
THE pressure of the air fairly tore my
face. My eyes felt as though they were
melting, even under my wind glasses.

last thread of life, erouehing so that moth

finish or hear the crack of the pistol. My
ears were stricken numb for the time
being. and all senses but one-to hold the
steering wheel steady-left me.
Toward the end It seemed as though
the top of my head would be taken away"
From the moment Marriott opened wide
the throttle and the machine shot for
ward 1t Travelled as straight and true as
bird flies. To any one who can realize
the speed it is needless to say there
wasn't the slightest swerve No bullet
ever went straighter and in this regard
the exhibition was all the more wonder
full for one thing.
The beach was soggy from the wash of
unusually high tides, and no sun had

the leaping front wheels of the car, off
the ground as often as on, pulled the rest
of the machine straight on behind them.

pictures are presented and number. of
strikingly handsome transformations are
shown. One of the most spectacular scenes
is that which depicts the bottom of the
ocean, with fish. marine monsters and the
hul1s of sunlten ships. The finale of this
scene is one of the most impressive that
could well be imagined.
A series of tableaux which came later
in the performance also won deserved APP

mechanical tricks were introduced. They

is supplied with a great number of clever

tOne day, while walking with friend
in San Francisco. the professor and his
companion became involved in an arglI-

agreed, in a spirit of fun to leave 1t to
