THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.

1t Was Made In 1572 and Was Work
ed by CoiIed Spring.
'eThe first automobile" said the
chauffeur, 'swas made by Johann Hau-
stack Of Nuremberg In 1872. Its mo-
tive power was neither oil, steam nor
electricity, but coiled spring.
sThe first steam automobile was built
in France by Cugnot In ITO. 1t Is still
to be seen. It is one Of the star exhib'
its Of the Conservatoire-des Arts ct
Meters In Paris. Steam carriages mod
eled after 1t were built by William
Murdoch, James Watt, Nathan Read
and Richard Trevethick. These are,
most Of them, In museums in London
and Birmingham.
Several steam carriages piled for
hire on the streets Of London at the
beginning Of the nineteenth century,
but they were so slow, noisy and heavy
that the people did not take to them.
"The first modern automobile was
built BY Amadee Bollec in 1878. Bollec
exhibited his car in Vienna and in
Paris, and other men, as is always the
case, devised improvements on 1t. Au-
tomobiles, by about 1890, began to ap-
pear in the jokes Of the day. They had
taken their place. But it was not until
the annual cup races began in France
in 1894 that the automobile became
really popular institution. New Or

United States Senate.


United States Senate.
When hannibal Hamlin was speaker
Of the Maine house Of representatives,
away back in the forties Of the last
century, there was in that body Ger
tain gentleman Of faultless attire,
pleasing manners, good address and
some reputation, but he had one foiole
His hair was very thin, and be was
highly sensitive In regard to 1t.
To hide his approaching badness he
had a habit Of carefully stroking with
bandoline or other preparation each
particular hair in Its place. One day
while in the chair as speaker Mr. 6am-
lin, In the innocence Of a good and
joke loving nature, sent for this gen.
tleman and, looking fxedly at his
smooth and polished pate, said with a
chuckle:
BLANK, old fellow, 1 just wanted to
tell you that you've got one Of the
hairs of your head crossed over the
other.''
'You insult me, sir! You insult me"
replied the member, with unexpected
and altogether unnecessary indigna-
ton, and then, refusing to listen either
to reason or explanation, he lett the
speakers desk and returned to his seat.
When Mr.. Hamlin became a candl-
date foc the United States senate this
gentleman was member Of the upper
house of the Maine legislature. AL
though a member of the same party
and only one more vote was needed to
secure Mr.. Hamlin's election, he posi-
lively refused to vote for the man by
whom he believed be had been insulted.
He was defeated for a seat In the
senate-by hair, but when the next
vacancy occurred he was elected
