MOTORCYCLES IN GERMANY.

In this years German army
maneuvers the sight will be wit
messed of motor tricyclcs speeding
about the battlefield. Hitherto it has
been found that much time was lost
in rendering medical assistance to
the wounded. To prevent such de-
lay during the coming maneuvers
field surgeons will be mounted upon
specially constructed motor tricycles
made on the lines of those now used
by tradesmen, in which will be car
ricd all the necessary material for
first aid.
In the past wounded man had
to be carried on a stretcher to the
nearest lazarette before help could
be rendered. In future should he
find it impossible to treat the case
on the spot, the surgeon can himself
convey the man to the lazarette on
his motor tricycle.. The machine
will be built so that it can 60 over
heavy ground, and it will, owing to
its speed, save many hours of weary
waiting to the wounded.

That the automobile bill of the
people of this state does not show
any indication of reduction on
account of the talk of quiet bust

the state. The record for new ma
chimes in April being 527, or over
II for each day of the month. This
puts the total number of machines
registered with the secretary of
state up to May at 1885, which
shows that the South Dakota prai-
ries are being we'll supplied with
this method of travel and the
people can afford it.
That during April, 2.o7 inches
Of rain fell at Aberdeen according

temperature was Sc On the goth.

bad weather, and crop conditions
are reported in that vicinity as the
most promising at this time OF the

and then laid the slipper where it
would do the most good. 1t eff
fected cure and a relapse is not
