Power Propejled VehicIes.

Experiments in power propelled We
hicles date back to ITO, when Joseph
Cugnot, a French engineer, built the
first automobile. He constructed a
steam automobile that hauled two and
one-half tons three miles per hour, and
this vehicle is still preserved in form
of q model in France. In 1902 the first
practical steam automobile was built
by Richard Trevitluck Of England,
using a crank shift for the first time
and driving by gears from the engine
to the road wheels. In 1921 julius
Grifhths of England gave us the first
comfortable steam vehicle, the first We

with seats carried on springs, as we
know them today. In 1881 Summers

British Spy Test.
New York SUM

J. J. A. Murphy an American decor
alive artist, who spent the last four
years in England, said on his return on
board the American liner Finland, that
he was saved from Imprisonment and
word squirrel" He was released, he
said, after he satisfied British officers
that he could pronounce the word in
the true English fashion.
Mr.. Murphy, who has been acting as
chief assistant to Frank Brangwyn, the
noted English mural decorator, decided
last Christmas to 90 on walking tour
through Ireland, where he had no ex-
pectation that his name would arouse
suspicion. Under the impression that
no passports were necessary to go from
England to the Emerald Isle. he set out
innocently, but was arrested at Holy
head because he lacked the all import
ant papers of identification.
Several bayonets were held ticklishly
close to his ribs while English officers
made inquiries as to his past life and
future career. Though one of them,
territorial, treated him as If all artists
were open to suspicion, a captain in
the regular service acted more like IAN
officer and a gentleman" and suddenly
shot this order at him:
Say SQUIRREL" i
Mr. Murphy. whose touch OF Irish
brogue and American enunciation has
in the last few years been overlaid
with English diction, numbled the re-
auired word. The officer promptly
commanded that he be set free. Much
astonished, the artist inquired how he
happened to deliver this open sesame.
"A German" explained the captain,
can't say the word-he loses 1t down his
throat. Az Englishman slurs the final
ell rolling the word under his tongue.

Eve Of the GUN.

This Is called the telemeter and Il
used by all artillerists in some shape
3r other. The telemeter is really a
tube with two telescope lenses, one on
each end. The "obiectives" of the
two lenses are placed inside the In
strument and toward the end Of the
tube. Prisms with five faces act as re-
Electors, so that the person looking In
has mechanically spread his eyes to
the two ends Of the tube, with Q ire
mendous range Of vision.
OF course the ends are 50 arranged
that they may be directed at single
object at the same time, thus making
It possible for the observer to see
what would otherwise be beyond the
power Of the human eye and to know
by the angle at which it is viewed the
distance away.
It requires a little practice to use
this wonderful instrument, but in q
few days the operator ascertains how
easily he can determine the precise
distance he is from the object he is
looking at, and by quick calculation
he directs the pointing Of the gun so
that it cannot fail to strike at the de-
sired spot.-Pearson's Weekly.
