Motor Roller Skates.

Nowhere in this broad land, we
venture TO say. is roller skating SO
popular as in Washington. By this
is not meant that indoor skating is
not more largely INDUCED in else
where, although the local rink is
crowded But the streets of this city
are admirably adapted to roller skates.
1t is, therefore, a favorite pastime
with the children, and, if 1t were only
considered ''the thing" there is no
doubt that older boys and girls, mar
ried as well as single, would be seen
gliding gracefully-we hope-over
the asphalt pavements.
1t may yet become the thing" and
be therefore excusable. A French
man is striving TO make roller skat-
ing fashionable, and, of course, haz-
ardous; otherwise he wouldn't be a
gentleman of France. The American
Inventor (New York; tells of NJ. Con-
stantine's invention of the motor
boot, and of his successful demonstra-
ton of motor roller skates in the
streets of Paris. Small electric mo-
tors were placed beneath the foot
plates Of the skates. which were con-
nected by wires with miniature stor-
age batteries suspended about the
waist of the skater. subsequently
the inventor found it better to sub
stitute for the electric battery a
small air-cooled, four-cycle, gasolene
motor. Thus The American Inventor
describes the invention:
Beneath and back of the foot-plate of
each skate is carried small gasolene
engine inclosed In a metal box and con-
nectcd with a Carbureter placed inside
the forward part of the skate. which is
inclined doWnwardly and backWardlv
The gasolene supply is contained in "a
tWo-quart receptacle made 10 conform
10 the waist where II is beited to the
wearer. From this tank the gasoIene is
ted 10 the engines by small rubber
tubes. and ignition Is accomplished by a
flexible cable that also connects with
the belt 50 that il will always be under
tho control OF the operator.
The wheels of this novel device are
about eight inches in diameter, and
have solid rubber tires, to afford COM
fort TO the skater in passing over
