OoNoUERs SNOW DRIFTS.

Tn order to prove that the motor cycle can go where it is imp for other vehicles to travel, Paul E. Gott, of Peoria Ill., rode his motor cycle through the heavy snow which prevailed during the early part of March, to Washington, Deer Creek, Morton and back to Peoria. Be- tween Deer Creek and Morton the snow was unbroken. In many places it was drifted as high as twelve feet. When MT. Gott encountered these drifts, he guided his mount into the fields where he rode until the road again became passab1e. Another test of the ability of the two-wheeler to get through when other traffic was tied up by the snow, was made by Harvey Bernard of Chicago, who rode his motorcycle through fifteen miles of unbroken snow.

USE OF ELECTRO MAGNET.

Nearly every one knows that iron and steel can be attracted by means of the e1ectro-magnef, but the aver age man is greatly surprised when told that for many years the electro magnet has been employed for hand ling pig iron, metal plates, tubes. heavy castings and scrap of iron and steel. Greater still is his astonish- ment when informed that a 50 inch lifting magnet will sustain the weight of a solid mass of metal weighing as much as ten tons.
 When it was announced that the electro magnet was successfully ap- piled to shifting gears on the Haynes, Am erica's first car. said GeozH. Peck. of The Peck & Lines Company, dis tributors for the pioneer car in this territory, you can well imagine the interest it caused. The motoring public were naturally quick to grasp it's advantages and before long the electric gear shift was hera1ded far and wide as the greatest automobile Improvement in recent years.
 s.On the Haynes steering wheel there is a dial of push buttons called tie sseIector' switch. These buttons control the operation of a set of elee- ro-magnets, one for each speed and one for reverse To the clutch pedal is connected a. small mechanical mas ter switch which completes the circuit to the battery for enlarging the elec- magnet.
 ITO shift gears, you select the de- sired speed through the .selector' switch, complete the circuit by de- pressing the clutch pedal and the in stant 1t is released, the gears are shifted, so that there is no possibility of stripping gear or wreeking the stransmission.
 eAftef you understand the mechan- Ica1 construction of the electric gear shifting mechanism, you marvel at it's sim mpIicity and wonder why it was not perfected long ago. As matter Of fact, engineers have been working on this device for a period of six years, before the Haynes Company finally de- cided to adopt it as standard equip meut.''
 Haynes cars equipped with this de- vice are conspicuous in this city, due largely to the uncommon spush-but- ton switch on the steering wheel, which provides their. method of con troI.

CARS FOR MUNICIPALITIES.

Municipalities are rapidly adopting the Ford idea of transportation, and already there are many hundreds of the Universal Carr used to transact the business of various civic depart Tnents. Newark alone has 40 Fords in city service, and Cleveland 26, while hundreds of other municipan- ties. ranging from town to metropo- lis, are using one or more. From the beginning the Ford has been popular with city officials Modern business demands automobile transp ortation. for only by the use of the motor cstr can city officials and employees do their work with the greatest economy and expedition. Public works de- partm ents, school boards, sewer. road, and park employees, fire departments, water boards-in short the innumer- able branches of the great business of running a city find the motor car indispensable, and it is no longer ta11- common for the boards of aldermen and similar legislative bodies to pass large appropriations for the purchase of city cars The Ford. probably finds favor betause the initial expense is low and the upkeep is reduced to the minimum, while its durability and adaptability are recognized.

LOWEST TEMPKRArURE.

The lowest temperature at which gasoline will evaporate is about five degrees above zero, with the present fuel. When the temperature falls to this figure, as it may in the northern parts of the country during the win ter, no amount of crankfng, by hand or by electric starters, will start the motor for the reason that no gas can

be Obtained from the gasoline. In this case, the temperature of the fuel in the carburetor must be raised. and a good way to do it is to soak rag or towel in boiling water and wrap it around the float chamber. If enough hot water is available. it will
 also be a good plan to drain the water from the cooling system, and replace
 if with warm.

THE GRADE CROSSING PERIL

tsFatal accidents at grade crossings have already occurred in the early spring touring, and these lamentab1e accidents again turn our attention to the railroad and trolley death traps and the urgent need of strict 1egfsla- tion,, says President ". H. Van Der voort, maker of the Moline-Knight.
 .sThe grade crossing laws through out the country are entirely made quate. In many states there are laws regulating steam railroads. but there are few commonwea1ths that regulate the speed of trolley cars at grade crossings and other places where the lives of motorists are in jeopardy. There is no plausible req son why there should not be as strict laws governing the electric car ser vice in the open country as are those dealing with steam trains. Certainly the trave1ing public should have as much protection from one as the oth- CT.
 saThe antiquated .Stop-Look-I Listen signs are inadequate. Often times they are hidden from view around d curve or behind trees and shrubbery. Flagmen should be at all high speed crossings from six in the morning un- til midnight. There should be some signal such as a loud sounding gong. to denote the approach of ear. At night lanterns should be used as sig naIs which might be seen from a dis tance by approaching travellers.
 There should be stronger protec- ton on Sunday when there is large
 increase in traffic by motorists, pc
 destrfans and horse drivers. All these are vita1ly interested in protec- tfen at the grade crossing deatf traps, which extend from coast ts coast It seems to me that the va. rious automobile clubs and assoeia- tfons could accomplish nothing more important than the protection of mo torists at such places

been thought Of. 1t is true that Servia has made
appeal to it and has asked that the demands Of
Austria be submitted to the procedure thus pro-
vided, and Great Britain acting according to the
letter and spirit of that treaty, has offered and
indeed urged mediation and deliberation. But
Austria, backed by Germany has bluntly declared
that no mediation will be considered and that no
attention whatever will be paid to any of the
peace provisions of the treaty Of The Hague
"The contracting powers" says that treaty,
agree TO use their best efforts to insure the
pacific settlement of international differences. In
case of serious disagreement conflict, before
an appeal to arms, the contracting powers agree
10 have recourse, so far as circumstances allow,
to the good Offices or mediation Of one or more
friendly powers"
OF that treaty Austra-Hungary was a sigma
tory-one Of the contracting powers" SO was
Germany. Yet now Austria-Hungary, with the
approval Of Germany, if not indeed, at Ger
msnys ineitement, ignores that treaty. She not
only refuses to "have recourse to the good Offices
mediation of friendly powers"
but when such powers, on their own initiative ac-
cording TO the terms Of another part of the treaty
benevolcntly offer such mediation she CURLY re-
fuses it.

whole favorable to them. The creation OF
strong Serb state of the empire, comprising Croa-
tia, Slavonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, would be
for the immediate advantage of its inhabitants
ard would greatly strengthen their hands for the
ultimate revolt against Austrian domination ahd
the recreation of the great Seryian Empire. 1t
was also welcome to them because Of the dis
sension which it would create between Francis
Ferdinand and the rest of the Hapsburgs.
To-day the significant and ominous fact is that
Austria has wantonly begun conflict with
race which not only enormously outnumbers her
own in Europe at large, but also which comprises
n large majority Of the people of her own en-
pirc Il is conflict of Teuton against Slsv, and
Austria is nominaly Teutonic Yet in the 60
100000 Of her population there are only 100000
Germans or, say, 35 per cent, while there arc H.
100000 Slavs, or Go per cent Moreover of these
100000 Slavs about 100000, or 10 per cent
are not merely Slavs but also Serbs In such cir
cumstances her hope of success must, as Often Of
old, lie in her allies.
Chiefly, Of course. in Germany, as the greatest
Teutonic power There has been no doubt from
the beginning as 20 Germany's attitude. Bis
marck once said that the whole Balkan Peninsula
was not worth the bones Of single PomersnAn
grensder. His successor thinks that the rights

and independence of Servia are not worth the
speaking Of a single word. Indeed, the German
view is that Servia ought to be crushed. An in
spired article in the Berlin "Lokalanzeiger" the
other day declared that "in Germany, which lost
friend and ally at Sarajevo, every step taken
from Vienna against the guilty Servians would
meet with full moral support. Official Germany
would not lag behind. We shall again have TO
prove our Nibelung faith"
That was, il is true, conditioned upon its be-
ing ascertained that Servians were found TO have
been responsible for the murders at Sarajevo.
They have not thus been found guilty, yet Aus
tra assumes them to be, and Germany fully
backs her in that judgment. This too, is in the
face of the fact that at the very time of this
publication in the "Lokalanzeger" all the mem
bers of Serbo-Sav club in Berlin were arrested
by the Prussan authorities on suspicion of be-
ing implicated in the Sarajevo crime, or at least
Of being adherents of the Greater Servis physi-
cal force propaganda, and after most searching
investigation were all set Internationally at lib
erty, the inquest having disclosed nothing what
ever of a compromising nature against the club.
Perhaps for the credit Of the nations 1t might
be best to say nothing about the treaty of The
Hague Yet the fact is that this war has been
started just as though such treaty had never

HWANG CHUNG HCEi
Hwang Chung Huei, Non Here, Is Also to
Study Worlds Art Galleries to Clean
Ideas for One To Be Erected as
Memorial TO His Father.

Part Of the mission Of Mr.. Hwang, for which
he is to circle the globe. is to buy back as many
rare objects OF his country's art possible. Dur
ing the many great vcissitudes of the Celestial
Empire much Of its historic art has been lost.
Art collectors from Europe and America did not
fail to take advantage of the chaotic conditions
which the country has gone through and, at com
paratively little price, purchased many antiques
which are considered of great historic value Now
that the country has awakened from its passive
attitude Il will try to recover as much Of its
historic art as possible.
"The renaissance of China" Mr.. Hwang said,
'is not TO be confined merely to the Commercial!
side Of life. The Chinese people have awakened
after many years of passivity and will combine
the European civilization with their own culture.
The revival is to be noticed not only in its mil
itary and commercial activities but in the cree
ton of modern schools and universites-the
great demand for education and knowledge. The
remarkable transition of China from the medieval
in its arts and letters to the modern is one OF
the phenomena of the twentieth century"
II is this unusual revival that has inspired the
Chinese government TO build an art museum
That. however, was not its only reason. There
is another chapter in the history of Mr.. Hwangs
mission which, if not as important, is, perhaps,
much more interesting. The contemplated museum
is TO be memorial to Mr.. Hwang's father, the
late Hwang SEE Yung, who died two years ago.
Hwang SEE Yung was the tutor to the royal
Chinese house. He one of Chinas greatest

and Transylvania. These were to be sovereign in
domestic affairs, with representation in the upper
and lower houses Of imperial parliament, and
all united in imperial affairs by the circumstance
in which they would radically differ from the
German states-of having all the same sovereign.
Francis Ferdinand meant TO be crowned Emperor
of Austria, King of Hungary, King of Bohemia
Kniaz Of Croatia, Hospodar of Pennsylvania and
what-not else.
This was, Of course, intensely offensive to the
Hapsburg "ring" and was provocation to some
extreme measures which should dissuade him
from the plan or prevent his execution of IT. 1t
was also offensive to many Msgyars, who desire
TO retain Magyar supremacy uphemism for des-
potism-oyer the Rumanians and Serbs who now
form nearly one-hslf Of their kingdom, and who
saw in this proposed enfrsnchisement of Trsnsyl-

Herzegovina, a death blow TO that status. But it
was welcomed by many of the Hungarian indie
pendence party, who were quite willing to see
these alien provinces shorn of If thus Hungary

It's walls are to be decorated with canvases
from the early Chinese painters to the latest crea
tons of the Cubists and Secessionists. Every
phase of art is to be presented at the museum.
With the death of Hwang SEE Yung his son
took up the work of his deceased father. He
saw in the awakening of his country oppor-
tunity to realize the dreams he had conceived
while attached to the embassy at Washington.
Much he learned from the Americans and he
wanted his native land to benefit by his expert
ence and knowledge.
Mr.. Hwang then turned his attention to the
schools of his country. He found that much
could be done to improve them and he set to
work. While in the United States he had formu-
lated ideas about trade schools where the
Chinese youth could be taught the useful arts
and crafts. He devised a system of such schools

modern educators From his early days of in
struction he fought against the Anticipated ideas
of the Celestial Kingdom. He was the champion
of modernism. He realized that his country
would have to forsake its medieval mode OF life
and adopt the modern methods and Ideas of the
Europeans and Americans or it would slowly dis
iategrate Realizing the danger that confronted
China he became interested in European cyili-
cation and in the great American commercial
enterprises, spreading his knowledge among his
countrymen.
His ideas found little favor at first. They looked
upon his teachings gospel which could
result in naught but evil. They feared the wrath
os the gods; but reason triumphed after many
years In the later years Of his life Hwsng SEE
Yung saw the marvellous awakening Of his coun-
try The people realized the truth of his doc.
trines and they turned to him who they at
first disdained AS in the Of all great men, his
share of glory was accorded TO him only after
his death. Now lie is being idolized and his
memory immortalized by the erection Of gor-
ceous art museum in his honor. s. 80 the IN
congruites Of life!
However, Hwang SEE Yung is remembered by
the Chinese not as educator only. He left as
a heritage TO his countrymen the greatest and most
valuable collection extant of Chinese antiques
and rare objects, which he accumulated dur
ing his lifetime. He did not approve of his
countrys historic art being borne away by Euro
peans and Americans. He realized that no coun-
try can make any progress in modern art if 1t
sacrifices its historic antiques. The past was neces
ssry he insisted, if China wished to lay any claims
TO the future With this in view he began TO
buy up as many objects of his country's
relics as his means permitted He found many
