AUTOMOBILES.
They Are Not So Entirely New as
Many Think

Many Think.
!; There is nothing new under the
sun. The automobile, which Is gen
orally supposed to have been an in
vention of the last days of the nine
teenth century and is becoming the
most popular and expensive fad of
the twentieth century, is really of
quite an ancient date.
We learn from good authority that
the automobile or self-moving car.
riage for street purposes antedates
the steam locomotive and was sug-
gested by Sir Isaac Newton as early
as $780,
carriages were built and in 1888 some
twenty of them were running in the
London streets; two or three also ap-
peared in New York. But as these
noisy steam putting vehicles went
careening through the city streets
they became terror and a nuisance
to all quiet, orderly citizens and ex-
cited the special hatred of the stage
coach, cab and omnibus proprietors.
hence they were soon driven out of
use by the municipal authorities.
Many years passed before the pres
ent noisless electric or gasoline mo-
tor came into vogue. Even these have
their disadvantages, but of the two
the electric motor is the least OBJ
Objectionable, though more expensive
and less suited for long. distance
travel.
While vast improvements may be
noted in these machines their propel-
ling forces leave much to be desired,
and their future depends upon the
perfection of the electric storage bat
terry or the compressed air motors,
which as propelling powers are vast
ly superior and much more agreeable
than gasoline.
While the chief objection to the
self-moving carriage of olden times
was that it went shrieking through
the streets. drove horses frantic with
, fright and thereby caused much mis-
chief. the automobile of today is COM
paratively quiet and horses are fast
/ becoming accustomed to this innova-
ton.
1t is to be hoped that the automo-
bile. which now on account Of it's
cost and the expense of running it is
called the rich mans luxury, will in
time, like many other popular me-
chanical inventions. become SO re-
duced in price as to be within the
reach of people of moderate means.
1t is also hoped that special roads
will in future be provided for the ac-
commodation of this new and expedi-
tious means of transit.
