GERMAN INVENTOR WOULD

much freedom from discomfort as is eN-

In reporting the invention TO the state
department. Consul Talbot J. Talbot OF
Brunswick, Germany. sends the following
translation describing IT.
THE greatest difficulty in automobile
construction has been the pneumatic
hopping OF the wheels. The tires are a
constant source OF worry and, in case
OF explosion, of danger TO the owners of
such vehicles. All substitutes. such as
spring wheels or solid rubber hoops. have
tailed to supplant the pneumatic tire. The
solid rubber hopping is too dear. and be-
sidGs does not possess the requisite elas-
ticfty
"a former German infantry officer has
apparently succeeded in solving the diff
Gully. He has shifted the point OF clas-
ITCHY, which formerly consisted OF metal
wagon, 10 the axlcs OF the wheels by an
ingenious angle lever system. The result
is astonishing. The inventor uses ships
cable for hopping. but even with wooden
wheels he can maintain a completely
elastic course over cobblcstones. country
roads. etc, as the wagon jolts are no

the hose reaches down through the walk

THOMAS EDISON TESTING
EFFICIENCY OF BATTERY

Preliminary reports 10 the Anderson
Carriage company OF Detroit from Thorn
as A. Edison. who Is testing his new
storage battery in n Detroit electric,
shows that the car equipped with the
battery has travelled from 102 to 131 miles
on n single charge.
Edison is making the tests to find Just
what the man may expect who buys an
electric equipped with his battery. He
selected the Detroit as the electric best
fitted mechanically to carry out the test.
and plated a number OF routes over
which the runs are being made, These
routes begin and end at the Edison head :
quarters at West Orange and carry the
car through tho country and over the
hills of New Jersey, across into New
York and up through Westchester county.
On one occasion the Detroit made l02
miles before the battery was exhausted :
another time the odometer registered 11G
miles: and a third time the Edison re-
port shows l3l miles These distances
we're each made on a single charge OF
the battery, and are the more unusual
by reason OF having been made on coun-
try roads.
These tests are for the sake OF the
family man who wants to take his folks
into the country for the day" said Mr..
