of the near future II Is made prac-
ticable by the invention Of method of

without the bulk OF an ordinary brick

porcelain good sized house can be
constructed in few days. 1t Is damp

at the cost OF very little labor. Col

TESTING BULLS WITH AUTOS.
How Mexican Learned Whether AMI
NAL Was a Fighter.

That the automobile can be used
with great success in determining the
courage OF Young bulls intended for
the bull ring has been demonstrated
by Pedro Fernandez Somellera on his
Isidro hacienda in this state. The
novel experiment was made few
days ago with 22-horsepower car,
says Guadalajara letter in the Mex
lean Herald On all haciendas where
fighting bulls are raised the young
animals are tested. with a view to
determining their future fitness for
the bull ring. Those that prove their
courage are marked and left to grow
MP for future contests, Up to this
time the tests have been conducted
by men on horseback, armed with
pixies like picadors. But Mr.. Somel-
Terra. who IL an enthusiastic motorist,
this year decided on an innovation by
introducing the motor car In place of
the horsemen. Accordingly, after
the young bulls had been herded into
large corral. the machine was driven
into the Enclosure. The occupants
were armed with the usual pixies. The
experiment proved an exciting sue
cess. Several Of the young bulls
charged the machine at mad speed.
and It was only by clever driving that
the car and fits occupants were kept
clear of the horns Of the surprised and
apparently indignant animals. The
bulls that attempted to mix with the
automobile have been credited with
exceptional bravery, and they are
expected to bring fame to the San
Tsidro hacienda by their future per
formances in the bull ring.
