TRAVELS ON LAND OR WATER
"Amphlbious" Motor Boat, Invention
of Austrian, Seems 10 Have Been
Proved Success.

A number of people have been work
ing Of late years to solve the problem
of constructing a vehicle capable of
travelling upon both land and water.
More than one has had some degree OF
success, but none is better, perhaps,
than that invented by a Vicanese engi-
neer named t. zeiner.
This ''land motor boat" resembles an
ordinary touring car in appearance ex-
cept that the body is rather higher.
But besides its wheels it is provided
with a propeller placed at the rear.
The power of the motor can be
switched from the running gear to the
propeller screw and vice versa. 1t is
built so as to take quite steep grades
with ease. Hence one may ride down
the sloping bank of river, plunge into
the current, switch the power to the
propeller and cross the stream in a
practicable motor boat. Arriving at
the other side, the engine is switched
to put the wheels in commission once
more, the bank is easily climbed and
the journey continued without more
ado
The vehicle has made good under
practical tests and is expected to be
particularly valuable for military use.
It is so built as to go well in swampy
and muddy country. In shallow water
wheels and propeller may be used ST.
! multaneously; this is particular ad-
vantage when a sand bank is acciden-
tally encountered in a stream, since it
removes the danger of getting stuck. 7
The power is supplied by 16-horse
power, four-cylinder motor which gives
7 a speed on land Of 45 miles per hour.
This speed is diminished in water to
about twelve miles per hour.-Literary
Digest.

THE NEW MONROE DOCTRINE.

/ In his annual message to congress
President Wilson gave new interpre-
tation OF the Monroe doctrine. The
view which he is expressed is notable
not SO muck because it is in reality
new but because it was for the first
time officially voiced by the head of
the nation.
Within recent years there has been
a growing recognition Of the changed
relation which the United States has
come TO occupy with reference to her
neighbors on this hemisphere. AS
long as the republics of South Amer
lea we're in their swaddling clothes,
condition that existed when Presi-
dent Monroe enunciated his famous
doctrine and for many years there
after. it was necessary for Uncle Sam
10 assume a kind OF paternal attitude
toward them, serving notice on Euro
pean nations that his protecting arm
would be extended in the event that
his enighbors were threatened by ag-
gression. But with the development
OF great nations like Brazil, Argentina
and Chilli, those conditions underwent
a marked transformation.
The Pan-American movement has
been gradually growing stronger and
now President Wilson puts the ma
tions of the wo continents upon
footing Of equality and unquestioned
independence" While the United
States does not recede from its posi-
tion that Europe must keep hands off
in America. the protection that she
now promises to her neighbors Is that
extended by partner in all projects
that involve the welfare of the two
Americas. That all members OF the
IAaIi-America partnership will profit
from the cultivation of closer relations
"A evident and the utterances OF influ-
ential South American papers indl-
cate already that the presidents mes
sage has struck q responsive chord.

custom of Jones Mill Grange to hold
an annual outdoor picnic, usually

the question OF when and where the
picnic should be held, most cordial
invitation came from Mr.. and Mrs.

their spacious lawn known to the
members Of the grange as admirably

more perfect day for such a gather
ing Mr.. Porter had drawn upon his
church friends and others for tables
and chairs and when the automobiles
began to arrive about II a. M, ev-
erything was in perfect order. 1t
was a question whether a sufficient
number OF the grangers were own
ers Of automobiles to insure large
attendance and the distance was too
| far for many of them to come In car
riages as in older times. However;
it was soon apparent that automo-
biles among farmers are now more
plentiful than carriages were In the
days. when Mr.. John Porter the "a
