AUTO HAS a LONG HISTORY.
Ancestry Of Machine Dates Back To
the Early Days.

From the earliest times attempts
to supplant the horse by adopting
mechanical methods for traction pur-
poses have been made. In the thir-
teenth century Roger Bacon wrote:
1T Is also possible to make ears
operate with untold dispatch without
the aid of beasts of burden" In
1919 the Nurembergan Jean Hautsch
manufactured mechanical chariots
which attained a speed of 1900 kilos
an hour. The most famous of these
carriages was sold to Prince Charles
Gustave, of Sweden, for 500 rix dol
lars. Somewhat later, at Marty le
Roi, the court of Louis XIV was
amusing itself with the toysrailway,
manipulated by hand. In the eigh-
teenth century there appeared me-
chanical conyeyances. similar in prin-
ciple to the small invalid carriages
which are now in use for helpless
people. But b. this time steam had
Newton had promulgated, in 1880,
his project for applying steam de-
rived from boiling water to land
travel. As yet, however, the work
ing plan was Unsuccessful. DR.. Rob
inson G759). and Erasmus Darwin
U765), failed equally in a similar
attempt. This same year (17G5). is
a celebrated one in the annals of the
steam machine, on account of the
first ESSAYS Of Cugnot, the French ar
.tillery officer, whose experiences are
related in his memoirs, as follows:
"A singular machine has BEEN re-
Gently experimental with; it is ap-
piled TO carriages, and claims to
cover space at the rate of two leagues
an hour. no horse being attached to
the vehicle; but the results have
been as promised-one-quarter of a
league an hour being the most speed
attained. The following year, how
ever. results were more satisfactory
as is shown by the same writer on
the date OF November 90, 1870:
Last Monday the machine, being
tried in the arsenal. carried a weight
of 5000 pounds, serving as carriage
to Ashore cannon of almost equal
weight, and made three-quarters of a
league in an hour. "-Indianapolic

A BUILDING BOOM.

The construction of one ten-story
office building will mark the begin
ming of a new building era in Padu-
cab: for the same reason that by
far the most money spent in building
operations in Paducah the last two
years has gone into flats and apart
ment houses. The flats opened reas-
enable priced living apartments vita
modern conveniences to compete
with old. unimproved dwellings.
Plumbers and carpenters, perhaps.
can tell of unusual activity since in
old dwellings, with greater
comforts. The opening of a new
large office building will bring II into
direct competition with old fashion
ed buildings. which must them be i'm
proved or allowed to stand idle. The
property is too valuable for the lat
ter course, and improvement will be
forced. That is good for Paducah
labor and retailers.

Mr.. ]. T. Donovan. general agent
for the Illinois Central railroad, re-
ce'vod az acknowledgment OF his
