FATHER OF MODERN AUTO
Honor Given Daimler. who Invented
Modern Type of Engine.

There are many machines of which it
is not possible to name the inventor,
nor the time place OF the invention:
and this is pre-eminently true Of the
automobile, says the Christian Herald.
In 1902 Richard Trevthick propelled a
horseless vehicle at the rate Of ten miles
an hour for which he was forbidden tho
use Of the roads. A large number of in
ventions. some Of which are in practical
use in the automobile of to-day. had
been made by ls45 when the pneumatic
tire was invented. Indeed the automobile
ough trying out, and had been found
wanting
In 1855 Richard Dudseon built a steam
roadster with a record of 40 miles an
hour. Traction engines were common
sight on our roads long before the auto
mobile as We know it came into use.
r. f. Olds in 1887 built a buggy driven
by a steam engine with a boiler of the
tubular type which used gasoline as
fuel In 1889 Serpollet. in France, reviv-
ed the fash boiler principle. first develop
ed in 1925. In 1880 Ienor. in France
patented vehicle driven by an explosive
gas engine
The real father Of the modern auto
mobile was Gottfried Daimler, who in
1854 patented a road vehicle driven by
high speed internal combustion engine.
From that time the development of the
automobile was comparatively rapid,
but it was not till in the nineties of the
last century that it began to be COM
mon. and its use as an ordinary vehicle
may be said to begin with the twentieth
century.

LICORICE SUPPLY CUT OFF,
Sweet Roots Come Principally from
Dreary NOsul In Kurdistan.

The Father OF licorice, Just an en-
terprsinG British merchant when at
home. many Years ago penetrated to the
dreary city of Mosul a sun-scorched com
munity on the TiRrs opposite the mounds
Of stored Ninevah in southern KurdiS tan.
and astonished the natives OF the town
ny a display of Willingness to buy all
tho licorice roots that they could gather.
The natives considered this herb, with
its thick tanGle o. woody roots and its
defiance of the farmer only as pest in
their fields, and, so, the Englis hman 5
eccentric demand caused another scan
dal in the Near East about the folly of the
Nesterner' says a statement OF the Ma
tional Geographic society.
At last. however. the natives hit upon
a satisfactory explanation, They talked
over the matter among themselves and
decided that the English Sovereign liked
TO chew tho sweet roots of their pes
iifcrouS weed and, therefore, had pro-
vided contingent fund of many mil
lions of dollars so that enough of it
might always he on hand, With this sim
pie discovery. the minds Of the natives
were SCI at rest. and they cheerfully aid

the money which he cared upon the lie

foundations of thriving trade with

despised product into A source Of con-
siderable income,
Mosurs export OF It's sweet roots to
the western world has been iudely bro
ken off by the war, and, mayhap. the
natives are more hostile than before to
the plant which, besides clogEing their
fields. they consider favored weakness
of the British king. At any rate, the
battle lines have cut off the most inn
portant sources of supply of the popular
chidren's candy-sugar the ever-present
ingredient in cough medicines, and the
wonderful tastemasking element in med
icines OF nauseating personality.
A great part Of the licorice supply lies
to the east Of the fighting lines. in Asia
Minor, in Russia. and in Kurdistan. TO
very limited extent, it is grown in
Louisiana and California. Spain possesses
the largest fields still accessible to the
west and it is grown in inconsderahle
quantities here and there, alons Europe S

VOICES OF THE NIGHT
More Different sounds in the Coupsry
Than the CITY.

A city chap complained the other
day to farmer about the country.
He said he did not like it, especially
at night. because it was too quiet. He
liked to hear the rumbling Of the city,
he said. and could not stand the alb
solute quiet Of the farm.
Whereupon the farmer smiled, and
said his only objection to the country
at night vas that it was too noisy
He could hardly sleep for tho noise,
he said, and actually hated to 20 in
doors at night and leave all the noises
out of doors. He didn't like the city
because there were no voices" in the
city-just the dull rumbllng of metal and
stone with never quivering vibration

And the farmer was mare nearly corr
rect than the fellow from tho city.
There is more noise in the country. more
vibrations, more different sounds 1t
is not so loud or roaring. but it Is
there--the music from a million voices,
the vibrations from billion strings
OF vegetation There arc tho murmur-
ings OF the softest winds that blow. and
the plaintive call of insect to it's mate
and the rustinE OF the undiscovered
things--sound which ono can never toll
whence they come. The very earth
seems to speak at night: there are sharp

out in the woods, you can hear worms

Bourgeois. out of the kindness of his

would let the lion, tigers and other jun

will not let him. When the animals are

That the trainer makes him do the thing
in the end gives the impression that the

will receive even more applause If tho

AS n movie actor the animal is part of

resorted to, and many kinds of tricks

When it is possible to make an animal act
by subterfugc, many months of training
are spared, but there are few roles con-
signed to his animals that Paul Bourgeois
will refuse to attempt.
