Immense Saving.

Nowhere Is the automobile vehicle
displayed in q higher degree Of eff
cheney than In the big power-driven
coal trucks and the wagons for the
conveyance of building materials, now
so common. The big coal truck car
ries four, six, ten times the load Of
the old-time one-horse coal cart, and
goes aud comes four times as fast,
and it's just the same With the brick
and sand wagons. = . ga 81 ~
Here was q big wagon loaded with
brick coming up the street at good
smart clip to swing out In. front Of a
building under construction, and there,
with ample power, to back up to just
where they wanted the brick dumped.
There the driver starts the auto
matte fitting mechanism, and In a min
ute he has dumped his big load and Is
of for another, with that tilted wagon
body setting down into position again
as he disappears down the street !;

Sand Sprays Prevent skiddine.

SAno sprays TreVehe oNIoo'H0'
A sandbOx for motor trucks and au-
tomobiles, operated in a manner sim
liar to the sandbox Of locomotives, but
which spreads the sand sideways to
prevent skidding, Is one Of the latest
inventions. On either side Of the car,
below the running board, are sand
boxes connected by piping with a COM
pressed air cylinder situated ut the
hack Of the car under the seat. Air
is compressed by simple attachment
to the driving shaft Of the car. This
and the discharge Of sand are con-
trolled by lever from the drivers
seat. The compressed air forces out
the sand, which is tthrown, against
curved screens that depend from the
running board Immediately in front OF
the wheels. The screens reflect back
the sand. throwing it to each side and
thus making q sand track sufficiently
wider than the wheels as to make it
virtually Impossible for these TO skid.
The invention promises to be cheap
enough to come into common use, and
ought to be useful on icy surfaces.
