PRINCESS
SEEKS A DIVORCE

BERLIN, Aug. 5.-The Heidelberg
correspondent of the Berliner Tage-
blatt says Frau Toselli, the divorced
wife of the king of Saxony, has en-
gagged lawyer to take action for
dissolution of her present marriage.
The grounds given are unconquer-
able dislike for her husband, arising
out of the difference of their ages
and consequent discordant views of
life. She found the educational in
feriority of the Italian pianist an in
superable obstacle to harmonious re-
lations between them.
The Tosellis have been separated
some time. The husband who re-
mains in Florence has abandoned
the concert platform to devote him
self to teaching. His wife has asked
her former royal husband to agree to
her permanent residence in Bavaria.
She wishes to avoid publicity and has
left Heidelberg, where she was in
sanatorium.

BOOKIES LOSE
On BALL GAMES

CHICAGO, Aug. 5. Having
pocketed something like $1,000 in
losses the big ''bookies" have decided
that baseball is not just what it
might be as betting medium. 1t
took them just four weeks to discover
that the national game could not be
reduced to scientific method of sep
arating the players from their money
for the simple reason that those who
played knew as much about the game
as those who dealt
Some of the heavy losers and the
amount of their losses are: Barney
Zacharias, $4,000; Samuel Tuck
born, 100000; Money Waizel, $1S,-
600; Charles Tennes, $4,000.
Practically no bets were taken by
the old book makers on the result of
single game. The bettor was per-
mitted to select two, three or four
teams to win, and was given odds on
such bet by the book maker as fol-
lows: 8 to ; against two clubs win
ming, s to l against four clubs win
ming. But the real trouble exper-
fenced by the book makers was that
those who took advantage of these
odds selected only the teams which
were winning. Consequently more
than 100000 of good money was
scattered about Chicago among those
who played the game.

ATTACKS NATURE TAXING
IN AUTO CONTROVERSY
Editor Thinks President Might Have
ouIetlns Effect on ostrIch-EquIne-
centIpede Cylinder Contentious
still Being Waged

w. H. Black of Providence, who con-
ducts semi-monthly periodical, the
New England Automobile Journal, has
the following to say regarding nature
taking:
THE motorists who follow the public
prints relating to the automobile indus
try carefully still remember the warm
controversy which was waged but re-
Gently between the authorities on motor
car design and construction relative to
the multiple cylinder engine, and the
jocose way in which some motorists
regarded the arguments. The follow
ing from the editorial column of
prominent daily is self-explanatory:
.Presidetn Roosevelt ought to jump
into the four versus six cylinder con-
troversy and stop the nature takers
who are comparing the legs of os-
triches. horses and centipedes to motor
ca. cylinders. One of them maintains
that If a horse needs only four legs
a motor car should need no more than
four cylinders. This is answered by the
proposition that since an ostrich with
but two legs can outsprint q horse,
then the two-cylinder car must be the
real goods.
Nobody has vet suggested that
since the dolphin. which is legless, can
easily follow an ocean liner, we might
wisely accept as ideal motor car hav-
ing no cylinders at ALL 1t is also up
to some one to tell us what the hoop
snake means when reduced to automo-
bile technology"

FARMERS USE MOTORS
FOR MANY PURPOSES
RAMBLER INQUIRY ELECTS
INTERESTING REPLIES
Combination Car Put on Market That
Enables Raneher to Haul His
Produce and Live Stock
to Town

Uses to which motor cars can be put
are legion, and the ingenious farmer is
always to the fore with some new and
practical scheme to tighten his work
and lengthen his hours of play.
In answer to a number of queries
sent out by the Rambler factory, many
interesting letters were received which
described the ways in which many of
their customers used the cars that had
been purchased from the Rambler
agents. The object of the queries was
to learn how the farmers, ranchers and
orchardists used the cars, and thereby
obtain information TO be used in devils
ing special car for their particular
needs.
AS a result of the replies combina-
ton car has been put on the market
that will allow Of the rancher hauling
not only his family to church but his
produce and small live stock to town.
One rancher in Southern California,
who makes part Of his income by rails
ing chickens which he markets alive,
built coop that he could place on the
platform of his car when he had re-
moved the tonneau.
In the coop the chickens ride safely
and comfortably, and while in transit
are able to continue their continuous
search for something to fill their crops.
The instances where the ingenious
farmer has used his motor car to drive
the pump and the churn, and even saw
the firewood, are frequent and 1t will
soon be an accustomed sight to see
them drive into town with the produce
carried on their combination cars.

AUTO EQUIPPED TO LAY
MATING AS IT'TRAvELS
European Enthusiast Evolves Inge-
nlous Machinery to Do Away with
Difficulties Encountered
by Sandy Roads

That 1t Is impossible to drive an auto
mobile, even light one, through sand,
is a fact we'll known. The driving
wheels turn without advancing and the
spokes form an excavator. Certain
motorists have surmounted the diff
Guilty by unrolling mats or carpets In
front of the car. Such a process Is an
effective but very slow one, and, since
1t necessitates the aid of a gang OF
men, is quite costly.
1t occurred to M. CASTOR Liegeard, to
whom European road travelling had
become monotonous, and who had de-
cided, by way of change, to tackle the
sandy trails of the Sahara, that II
would be possible to have the car itself
perform the operation of mat laying,
which had formerly been done by man
ual labor. He therefore fitted to his
car a light iron frame carrying to the
right and left, and fore and aft, over
head rollers over which passed endless
belts of thick cocoa-matting twenty
five inches in width and practically
indestructible. These belts were capa-
BILE of being mounted and dismounted,
according as the nature of the ground
required, in few seconds.
BY means of this ingenious automatic
arrangement Mr.. Liegeard, during the
course of trip through southern Al,
geria and Tunis, was enabled to travel
over very hard trails from Biskra to
Touggourt (260 miles going and return
ing) and from TebeSsa to Gafsa (9z
miles). His car "a 28-horse power Peu-
geot), Weighing 4S4O pounds in running
order, was provided with Michelin tires
NATURALLY smoothly, which did not have
to be touched on the way. He was &C
companied by his mechanic and an Ar
abian interpreter only, and accom-
plished his tourney from start to finish
without the least difficulty and solely
by the power of the car

party of Chicago politicians, who ar
rived in Denver dust begrimed, thirsty
and tired.
The journey was made in five Stude-
baker cars, one of them carrying 1900
pounds Of baggage, while the four
touring cars were occupied by the pol
iticians and their chauffeurs. The av-
erage time was 20.3 miles an hour for
the trip, which consumed ten days.
There were frequent stops, and here
and there the Chicagoans wined and
dined.

| impeded by an aged woman, who
waved the Star-Spangled Banner over
her head and stood squarely in the

brought to q standstill. 1t developed
that the woman was Mrs. James
Daley, an aunt of Roger Sullivan, who
had prepared cake and lemonade for
the travellers.
Still more interesting was the adven-
ture with "twister" that struck the
party few days ago at Valley, Neo.
ditch. and the occupants got wetting,
with the result that the party had to
apply at farm house for g. nights
lodging. Twenty visitors descending
at once upon a three-room farm house
filled the host with dismay, and while
he didn't raise the rates, he compelled
Michael Agnew, Perry Self and an
other of the party to sleep in the hay

floor of the farm house, where they
fought mosquitoes the remainder of
the night.

large.
There is no entrance fee.
A fine limestone dust will be used
(and possibly dry leavesl.
Last year the steam cars showed as

The course is 272 miles in length,
including ten miles of new road now
under construction, the contract hav-
ing been given by the road commits

The roads are from 20 to 80 feet
wide and are almost absolutely level,
there being no grade Of more than l

The surface is to be Of Augusta
gravel, which contains a small per-
centage of clay. The clay acts as a
binder and when rolled the surface is
as hard and has much the appearance
Of asphalt.
The road commissioners have been
experimenting with various grades of
oil for uso on this course and have
finally decided on heavy crude oil.
The roads before oiling are rolled
and then swept, after which the oil
is put on. The sprinkling wagons
have a steam pipe arrangement which
heats the oil until 1t becomes very
thin and flows easily.
A stretch of road one mile in length
was treated in this way last Marcn
and has given perfect satisfaction. The

TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS PROVE
VALUABLE TO AUToISTS
Geological Survey Drawings Greatly
Assist Tourists In Laying Out =
Routes of Pleasure Travel,
IL 10 Claimed

Automobile tourists are beginning to
find the topographic maps of the geo.
logical survey Invaluable in laying out
routes of pleasure travel.
If the New York to San Francisco
race and return is held this fall these
government maps will prove invaluable
for all public roads, as well as all Inn
portant private roads, are SHOWN on
these maps, while the contour lines In
dicating the topography and showing
the grades OF the roads enable the au-
tomobilist to determine accurately the
character Of the country through which
he intends to travel.
These maps are made primarily as
bases for the geologic map of the
United States which the geological
survey Is constructing, and the fact
that they can be employed better than
any other maps for noh-scientihc pur-
poses, such as automobiling, attests
their practical value, though this Is
only one of very great number Of
uses to which they are put NO maps,
in fact, are so generally used as the
surveys topographic maps. A score
Of bureaus and departments Of the gov
eminent use them as bases for special
maps or plottings, for determining
routes OF marcn or lrdVel ana Ior pAdH-
ming engineering work.
The topographic map or atlas which
will be formed by the combined topo-
graphic sheets published by the survey
was referred to last winter by Secre-
tary Garfield in a report to congress
as the mother map of the country"
for 1t is now the principal source of all
other maps. The sheets cover areas
termed quadrangles, whose limits are
defined by meridians and parallels,
and nearly 1900 of them have already
been completed. Some of the states
have valued these maps so highly that
they have betrayed half the cost OF the
surveys.
The expense OF surveying a quadrant
gle and engraving sheet ranges from
$500 to $8000--but after the map has
served It's scientific purpose to the gov
eminent extra copies can be purchased
by any one for cents each or SO a
hundred, which Is simply the cost OF
paper and printing.
The maps are so detailed and &C
curate that clever clay modelers have
used them as bases for relief or physi-
cal maps which were exact miniature
reproductions of the regions comprised
within the quadrangles, showing every
hill and valley in relative steepness,
and the lakes, swamps, falls of rivers,
etc., as well as all the important works
