BY far the most elaborate pro-
duction In the way of 'land-going
yacht. however, is that of Mr. R. R.
Conklin, before referred to. It was
built at cost of $4,000 for the
primary purpose of conveying Mr..
Conklin and part of his family from
their home at Huntington, L. l., all
the way to the San Francisco Expo
sition. The party consisted of Mr..
Conklin, his wife, two children, two
nephews and a young woman guest,
a cook, a governess and two
chauffeurs-elevep in all.
Owing to the wretched condition
of the roads which the "land-yaeht"
encountered, the "Gipsy Van,t as
the conveyance was called, was
abandoned in Chicago, the rest of
the trip being made by rail.
Despite the fact that we did not
follow eur original plan of cross
ing the continent in the Gypsy
Van," declared Mr.. Conklin upon
his return to New York, I'VE all
considered the voyage a distinct
success. / have had the van
brought back to New York, and we
shall use 1t again this Summer for
long trips. We shall be little
more careful in our choice of
routes, however. On roads which
we're halfway decent our convey
ance answered every requirement
and demonstrated that 'land-cruis-
ing in this way is, in many re
spects. as delightful and as restful
rs oceancruising. and possesses
many advantages which yachting
lacks"
One of the most interesting
souvenirs of the trip last season
WAS the 'log-book" which Mr..
Conklin had prepared for private
distribution among his friends. II

was made to skip over the slight
mishaps which characterized the
voyage. On the contrary, by word
and picture. every minute incident
was duly recorded so that those
who participated In the unique tour
might ever recall the bitter as we'll

dured. Photographs of the "Gipsy
Van" stuck axle-deep in the mud

occupies one corner of this salon.
At night the salon is converted
into a bedroom for six people.
Three sleeping berths let down
from the ceiling of the room, al
though they are designed in such
a way that during the daytime no
one would ever suspect their ex.
istence, and the three settees, are
readily converted into comfortable
beds. Mattresses six inches thick
of special construction are pro-
vided to insure comfort.
Each berth is provided with its
own electric reading lamps. one at
each end. and has special arrange
ments for hanging clothes.
We now come to the front apart
ment. or drivers cab. which is
separated from the salon by large
window. allowing the passengers to
have a front view as we'll as a side
one. The window is screened at
night TO allow of perfect privacy in
the car proper.
The driving cab contains sleep
ing berths for the two chauffeurs,
which are concealed during the day;
tool boxes and storeroom for ac-
cessories.
On the roof, which is reached by
means of the steps before men
toned and through trap-door
which Is easily opened as one

OF providing its owner with com
Portable shelter while he is travel
ing through the country.
The photograph of Mr.. Beasley's
"automobungalow" on this page
shows that the rear wheels have
been removed from the runabout.
In their place is a jack-shaft pro-
vided with q differential. The
runabout frame Is extended back
to make the front wheels OF the
house serve as the middle set of
wheels for the train.
One OF the remarkable features
about this conveyance is that the
runabout is not married in the least
by the use to which It Is put and
can be changed back into its
original form within twenty minutes
by removing the sprocket wheels
and diBconnectinE the extension.
This feature Is very valuable to
Mr.. Beasley because 1t enables him
10 use the runabout in connection
with his extension work whenever
he arrives in community where
he desires to operate.
The sleeping accommodations OF
this structure comprise one full
sized and three three-quarter-sized
beds. When they are folded up
they are shut on from the living
room by curtain on the inside.
When they are let down. this cur
tain forms a roof and side-cnrtains
are provided so that each bed may
be separately enclosed.
The Kitchen" is located at the
end of the bungalow and consists
OF a gasoline range. sink, china
closet and ice-box. Hot and cold
water are forced up from tank
under the house by means of an
air pipe fed by a bicycle pump.
Above the sink Is the china closet,
the linen closet and cooling cham
Der or ice-box being on either side.
There is a collapsible dining
room or library table. A dressing
room, about the size OF telephone
booth, contains clothes.press. and
outside OF II il a built-in writing
desk with mirror over IL. A built
in bookcase is under the desk. The
automobungalow is intended to &C.
commodate Ave persons. It's cost,
including all the fixtures and
utensils, is put by Mr.. Beasley at
$500.
Simple, but very complete, is the
two-story auto-house used by M.
Amagoris, of Paris, which Is also
shown on this page. The car itself
is not structurally different from
an ordinary large limousine, al
though its interior is equipped with
all the conveniences to be found In
q well-appointed private dwelling.

minus it's upper-deck, an operation
which was made necessary when a
viaduct which was too low for It to
pass under was encountered on a
road four miles east of Michigan
City, Ind.
The "Gipsy Van" may best be de-
scribed, perhaps, by imagining that
we approach 1t from behind and
then enter on tour of inspection.
The door in the back is opened
by turning handle which auto.
matieally lets down a couple of
steps. Having assembled these steps
and shut the door after us. we see
on our left hand large icebox in
two sections. one higher than the
other. On the lower section OF the
icebox rests a folding WASH basin
with mirror and other toilet
articles. Attached to the main Ice
box. which holds 100 pounds of ice,
is a filter which Is connected by
pipes to the ice chamber, providing
flow Of cold water at all times.
Over the icebox and extending to
the roof of the car are shelves for
preserves. groceries, etc, which do
not require icing.
Directly overhead as one enters
is a shower bath, with curtain at
tachment. The overflow of water
is taken care of by a very in
genious contrivance concealed in
the floor OF the caravan. A num-
Der of small trap-doors are raised,
and when secured in place they
form the sides of bath and pre-
vent leakage of water. A plug re.
moved from the centre of the bath
floor let's out the water while the
shower is running.
Next to the big icebox on the left
hand side of the car is sink with
running hot and cold water for the
washing of dishes, and next to this
is an electric range. with broiler
and oven. A large cabinet for sup
plies adjoining the range completes
the left-hand side of this first com.
partment. which Is called the
Kitchen"
On the right.hand side. upon en-
tering. is a lavatory, then large
cupboard and an ingenious card
table which can be converted into
a set OF steps. by means of which
is reached the upper DECK or roof
garden. A writing desk adjoins
this cupboard. and in addition 10
library requisites holds the cameras
and films. The kitchen is seven
feet long.

great possibilities.
Gustave De Bretteville. of San
Francisco. for instance, has con-
structed what he calls an auto
mobile-telescope apartment It con.
tains a comfortable bed, . bath,
kitchen facilities and dining-room.
This car is intended to accommodate
only two persons, and everything is
40 efficiently arranged that there
isn't the slightest suggestion of
erowding.
: The bed is of regulation size and
10 lighted by electricity. Cooking
utensils and facilities and store
room for supplies make It possible
for the travellers to provide them
selves with warm meals Just as
regularly as IL they were home.
Cooking operations are not COM
menced until the car comes to
standstill. meats being cooked
usually at night and warmed for
meals during the following day. In
fair weather, meals are eaten out
of doors. collapsible table and
chairs being carried for that
purpose.
When the weather Is inclement
the travellers keep indoors. the
dining-room being ample enough to
hold two people comfortably.
Books, writing materials. cards and
other diversions help to make the
time pass quickly when the tourists
tire OF watching the scenery, and
there are always little odds and
ends of mending and repairing to
be done on voyage of this kind
to keep the mistress of the house
busy just the same as there is on
shipboard
One of the photographs on this
page shows the automobile-tele-
scope-apartment at rest, with It's
owners breakfasting comfortably
on the road. Hot coffee, warm rolls,
all cooked on the travelling cook
stove, comprise the meal, but the
facilities are equal TO the task of
roasting turkey or Joint of beef
or any other major cooking opera
ton.

bungalow" used by S. w. Beasley,
Of Pomona, Cal, while on his

gagged in distributing religious litera-
ture. This conveyance is in effect
