Soda Water Gas to Run an Auto.

John Carroll, an inventor of Phila-
delphia, appeared recently in an auto
mobile propelled by an engine driven
by carbonic acid gas. Carroll drove
the car up "a hill. stopping several
times on the incline and then starting
again. When he got to the top he
turned around and came down, the,
went up once more. The engine was
crudely rugged up for the experiment
but there was general surprise at the
simpleness Of construction, and few
could credit the inventors statement
that the little engine, not half as big
as an ordinary soap box, could develop
a hundred horsepower. The machine
seemed to have much speed and to bt
very easy to control. Carbonic acif
gas is the substance used to charge
soda water.

against Gov. johnson. The Cover

that it could not forgive. Forum

not likely to submit to the dicta-

than Gov. johnson did.
