 Legs Tried on Machines.
 The first American inventors to tackle the steam-propelled vehicle prob lem were Oliver Evans of Maryland in 17S7, and Nathaniel Read of Massachu- setts in 1790.
 1902 patented a steam carriage that was a distinct advance over previous efforts.

We will be able to propel carriages with incredible speed without the as sistance of any animal" At the same time he predicted the coming of the steamship and the flying machine. The scientific character of Bacon's imag ination has been completely vindicated in the ocean liners and the swift flying automobiles and partially so in the recent efforts of Santos-Dumont and others.
 The horseless carriage first took tan gible form in the seventeenth century. when Johann Haustach of Nuremberg contrived a vehicle propelled by huge coiled spring. the action being on the principle of cIockwork Haustach was. known as "a manufactured of chariofs going by spring and making zQQ0| 3 ~ -.. com 7trolied by lever In the hands ot lhe' chan1sur. and in the absence of al Steering device the "chariot" could be propelled only in a straight line. Haus- tach seems to have paid no more at tention to the ornamentation of the body of his vehicle than to It's pro- pulsion.
 Sail Wagons of Holland.
 About the same time probably the general utilization of the winds of heaven in the windmills of Holland suggested the idea of sail wagons" used to some extent on the flat plains of that country. These were called "seylende windwagen," and consisted of the rigging of a ship attached to wheeled platforms.
 In 1644 a patent of Louis XIV. granted to "Jean Theson the privilege of employing little four-wheel car riage set in motion without any horses, but merely by two men seated" The supposition, in the absence of detailed drawings. is that the men seated" propelled the vehicle by strenuous leg work
 Sir Isaac Newton Is said to have in- vented a steam carriage after others had conceived the idea of propelling vehicles by steam power The devel- opment along this line followed close ly that of the steam railroad. The latter. however. appeared so much more feasible to the inventcCs that 1t was followed and the steam carriage idea thrown into the background. New tons idea was not original fundamen- tally. it is said, but copied after the original steam engine of Hero of Alex andrla. who broke into the steam-en

CANADA EXPLORES NORTHWEST.
Vast Regions North of Alberta Stin
 Arc Entirely Unknown

Vast Regions North of Alberta StiIl
 Arc Entirely Unknown.
 Charged with the exploration not only of its mineral, numbering and power producing possibilities, but also of Its farming lands, and with a view to ascertaining the feasibility of con- structing two railways, 3the northland exploration branch of the Interior De- partment here has sent out an expe. dition from Edmonton to investigate the vast unknown district north of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatche- wan, according to the Ottawa corrs- spondent of the New York World
 In view of the great acreage of the Canadian western farming lands, 1t might appear that Canada could rest on her blow handles, agriculturally speaking, for a little while at least, but such is not the purpose of the minister of the interior, who has long been impressed with the vast area and immense resources of the country stretching north from the northern most boundary of the three western provinces. There is estimated to be 220,000,000 acres of available first class land for cultivation in these prairie provinces, and only one-twen- tieth of this is now under cultiva- tion for all classes of grains.
 The wheat yield alone for the last year is put at 147,OOO,OOO bushels, which is 3A per cent of. the world yield for 1909. On this basis western Canada is in position to grow 4,50O,- 100000 bushels of wheat in a single year. In the year 1909 the thirty eight wheat-growing countries of the world produced only 3.5O0.O0O. 900 bushels.
 The exploration party is in charge of F. J. P Crean, c. E., and two as- sistant engineers. The party consists of five white men from Ottawa, while the remaining portion of it will be made up of Indians The party car ries with it a fully equipped steam launch for navigating the Athabasca River, and will winter at Fort Smith, in latitude 50 degrees north. Perhaps the most important object of the ex. petition is the investigation that will DC mouC dS IO tue ledSlDlllIy or OullQ- ing railway across the portage at Fort Smith, and another on the chutes of the Peace River. With these lines built and the Alberta & Great Western Waterways road constructed to Fort McMurray, the whole northern district would be opened.
 North of Fort Smith there are re- ported to be practically unlimited de- posits of tar sands, which, if devel- oped. would put the famous asphalt lake, Lake Trinidad, in the back ground. There is pulpwood all over that district and the available water power may be judged from the fact that in one place the Athabasca river drops fifty feet, producing 10000 horse power. The district is at pres ent inhabited only bv few fur trad ] eL4 - '''.'.
 In Immense area ef farming land VIII be accurately outlined and report cd upon, the nature of the soil noted and the success of cultivation ascer- tained. The expedition is perhaps one of the most important ever sent out from headquarters here on such | Q mission.

SMtlTER WILL Be
>. BUILT At MONARCH
Hundred Ton Plant Contracted for
With El Paso Company.

The Monarch company will build
first class modern smelter on its prop
critics near Wickenburg this fall, says
the Wickenburg Miner. The contract
for the machinery has been awarded
TO the United States Sulphde Smelter
Furnace company of Toledo, Ohio. the
construction work to be done at FL
Paso. The contracting company will
install and start up the smelter. This
news is official. having been conveyed
to General Manager c. w Plat in d
letter from the secretary of the Mon
arch company a few days since.
The new smelter is to have a capac
ity of 100 tons per day at the start,
but il will be enlarged from time to
time as the needs of the Monarch and
neighboring mines require, il being
the purpose to do custom work, and
| thus to aid in the development of the
mining properties of that particular
| region.
One of the significant facts in con-
nection with the placing of this smell
! ter contract is that the smelter com
/ pany accepts one-third of the pur-
chase price in stock of the Monarch
| company. stating that thorough eX-
animation of the property had con-
WINGED them that the Monarch was
sure to make good and to prove a
| paying investment. The plant is al
| ready in course of construction and
on its completion it will be shipped
and installed without loss of time.

WEALTH RESTORED-Th Re-
publican has put William Murray into

thing of value found on him when
he was searched was, as 1t stood,
really of no value at all. 1t was the
torn half of a So bill. All the other
papers Murray had were also fosnd
to have been torn in two. The case
of Murray was mentioned by The
Republican Yesterday with a request
that whoever might find the nan
