TO HATCH OSTRICH EGGS.
Incubators Shipped from lndianap-
oils to Farm in South
Africa.

Indianapolis Ind.-An indianapolis
concern, the eastern branch Of the
Petaluma Incubator company, Of
Petaluma, Cal, Of which w. A. Esh-
bach is manager, shipped the other
day nine incubators to far-of Africa,
three Of which will be used to bring
baby ostriches into the sunshine Of
the dark continent
1T isn't the proper thing at all for
the mother ostrich to set nowadays
and hatch her chicks" said Mr.. Esh-
bach. "and so we provide her with
an incubator. The incubator does the
work Just as we'll as the old-fashioned
method. and leaves Mother Ostrich
with plenty of time to attend to her
household duties.
"The first ostrich incubators were
used in South Pasadena, Cal, | think,
not very long ago. Their worth has
spread to Africa, and so we are send
ing some over there. The patterns
which we are shipping to Algoa Bay,
which is on the southeast coast Of
Africa. are 45-egg affairs-that IS
they will accommodate As ostrich
eggs"
The order for the incubators came
to the Indianapolis house through
New York brokers, who carefully con-
cealed the identity Of their customers
in Africa.

Automobile Attachment Which Shows

will soon be crying for the carto-
graph, an almost human invention
which is being shown here. II It comes
up to the claims made for IL.
Think OF an attachment somewhat
resembling the cOntriyance by which
self-playing pianos are made by the
unskilled to produce masterpieces
The cartograph. instead Of being a
perforated music roll, is a map OF
the roads to be traversed by the mo
tor car unrolling in a panel In front
Of the chauffeur SO that he can tell
at a glance where he Is ana which
turn TO take. The speed OF the ma
chine governs the motion OF the map,
so that il always indicates-or should
the exact point where the traV-
eler is.
Moreover the cartograph Is provided
with perforations just ahead Of where
the short turns and corners are and
these perforations ring a bell to warn
the motorist in time. Even on the
darkest night by means Of this device
1t is as sure. and a wholly unknown
route can be covered without danger
OF being lost or ditched.
The next logical step would be a
contrivance to attach the cartograpn
to mechanical means Of controlling
the steering gear and levers 50 that
the motorist can set It going and look

"The primary cause Of the sus-
