PREVENTS SKlDDING OF CARS
Safety Device Intended to Avert Slip
ping of Cars Given Test on WASH
ington Streets.

An invention with safety first" as
it's basis was demonstrated here on
the slippery streets during the rain,
says Washington Star. The mechanism
which is part Of the rear construction
Of an automobile, is intended to pre-
vent skidding and to assist traction on
muddy roads.
1t was on account of an accident to
a large motor car few years ago that
prompted the inventor to study the
skidding Of motor cars. He located
the cause and Immediately set to work
to remedy the defect, constructing an
axle that would prevent skidding.
The device will prevent one wheel
turning backward and one forward at
the same time; 1t will not allow one
wheel to spin and one to stand still,
but drives both wheels In the same di-
rection all the time; thus both wheels
of the vehicle are always under con-
troll. A large touring car which was
used in the demonstration was sent
down Capitol Hill Friday at 10 miles
an hour over a wet pavement covered
with leaves. The brakes were sudden
ly applied, but there was no indication
of skid. The leaves piled up in front
Of the wheels until the brakes were
released, when the car shot ahead.

SYNOPSIS.

For fifty years the continent OF North
America had been isolated from the rest
of the world by the use Of Trays, Won
derful invention of Hannibal Prudent.
The invention had saved the country
from foreign invasion. and the continent
had been united under one government
with Prudent as president. For. half a
century peace and prosperity reigned In
this part of the world The story opens
with President Prudent critically Ill. His
death is FASTENED by the receipt OF
message from Count Won Werdensteln OF
Germany that he has at last succeeded In
penetrating the rays Dying, he warns
his daughter AStra that this means TOT

ing Napoleon's secret. She rails III love
with him. She agrees to join him in an
attempt to escape. By the use of ire
works he summons a curious flying ma
chine which resembles monster eagle.
He escapes and sends his message to
Astra. Edison calls on Astra as promised.
He tells her his plans for defense have
been completed, but that he will give full,
er details at his workshop on the island
of Ciryne in the Pacific. They make the
trip in three hours His plans are based
on the popularity OF the new substance,
cirynith, which is lighter than any known
metal and is practically indestructible.
The Europeans succeed in passing the
line OF isolation but find that the Ameri-
cans have established a second one. Ed
son delivers a note to Won Werdenstein
in his flagship demanding that the fleet

CHAPTER xIII.-continued.

There were reports from her agents,
a check from her banker, sad sonnet
from a former captain of the Royal
Guard, one of her most steadfast ad-
mirers, but none were of great lmpor-
lance. She glanced through them and
then opened the one that most inter
ested her:
MY Dear Countess:-I was pleased
with the news that received through
Edison that you are safe and we'll. The
political situation has received ire
mendous shaking up, but the people
are happy and preparations are under
way to restore the same good order
that we enjoyed in former days; but
no more militarism.

soon be as rich as our American
brothers, We expect them to teach
We will gladly welcome every oppor-
tunity to learn from them.

Schomburg Lithow is in great sorrow.

reigning family. ! am telling you this,

issue.
European monarchs were much sur
prised at the American defense, but
they had to accept what had to offer
them. Now in their disaster they are
bonded together
Il will be glad to hear further from
you. You know that I have always
taken keen interest in your move
ments.
With the best wishes.--Count Won
Werdenstein."
ROSETTA glanced once more through
the letter, interpreting it.
He has received my message. They
want to restore the old order. They
are anxious to get the secret Of the
aerodromone, for which they offer me
the Princedom Schomburg Lithow All
European monarchs are in the pact"
She answered the counts letter, then
left it and her reply open on her desk,
to be read by anyone who might wish.
She dressed and went to Astra's
boudoir Together they entered the
dining-room in time to see Napoleon
and Ambrosio Hale enter from the
other door.
Napoleons eyes rested with appre-
citation on the picture the two present
ed.
Mr.. Hale greeted them effusiVely,
then turned to the countess, whose
charms were, in many respects, even
more fascinating than the Presidents.
A ride or horseback was scheduled
for the afternoon; that old, invigorat-
ing sport still held it's charm, as all
were accomplished horsemen.

Then Mr.. Hale turned the converse
ton into other channels.
Napoleon could not but notice that
after he had told the name of the as

gained her composure.

sailed off toward the west.
Rositta went to the aerial chauffeur
and spoke, but he signaled back that
he could not hear or talk.
She returned to the comfortable
bench and tried to think: Does Napo-
leon suspect something? No. 1t can
not be. or he must be wizard" With
this she lay down and in a few min
utes was sleeping like an innocent
baby in a cradle.

SAFETY DEVICES FOR TRAINS
Thousands of Appliances offered to
Prevent Railroad Accidents Re-
mind MeIIen of Story.

Charles S. Mellen, New England's
noted railroad man, once said at
luncheon in Boston:
"The way some people talk, you'd
think that there were thousand safe
ty appliances, any one of which APP
piled to American trains, would abol-
ish accidents and loss of life forever.
"There is, it is true, an abundance
of safety devices for trains. These
we are testing, one by one, just as fast
as we can. But very, very few of them
prove, on a running train, to do the
things they do on paper.
"The average safety device, indeed,
recalls the widow who applied for out

CHAPTER xiv.
The New cirynlth Deposit.

ne new Ctrynttn deposit
The fact that ROSETTA found q
stranger In the aerodromone, instead
of Santos Duprel, was not the result
of any suspicion on Napoleon's part.
Santos had received more important
order.
The substance "cirynith," that won
derful, glittering element that COM
bined all the qualities of glass and rub
Der, that was a thousand times
stronger than steel, lighter than alu
minum and absolutely indestructible,
was very scarce. The volcanic island
Of Ciryne, where Napoleon had discov-
cred the precious metal, was rapidly
becoming depleted of the material with
which to build aerodromones, and as
Napoleon's plans for the future were
based on cirynith, he must look for
other sources of supply. He felt con-
WINGED that this metal must be in
other places, and whenever he had
time he flew over countries where he
suspected its existence.

spectroscope, was Of great assist

Immediately upon Santos return
from Ciryne with Rositta he had been
dispatched upon this search, and Ma
| poleon himself started out the next
morning. His wound was so slight
that 1t did not interfere with his move
ments, and he started early, flying
toward Italy. He went slowly along
the western coast of that boot-like Pc
ninsula, searching diligently, but with
| out results.
Santos was looking through the
Alps. The poor fellow labored under
great difficulties. His mind was not
clear enough to work on the delicate
kaleidoscope. ROSETTA had robbed him
of his peace and he dreamed more
than he watched the changing colors
of the little instrument.
| The kaleidoscope suddenly began to
show interesting colors and recalled

Santos looked around. He saw q

dous pyramid with the top as fiat and
level as though 1t had been sliced of
with knife.
The kaleidoscope showed plainly that
this pyramidlike hill was rich in the
precious cirynith. Santos was so ex-
cited that he forgot even Rositta for
a while. The plateau and the whole
pyramid was barren of human beings
so he descended.
1t had been thousands of years since
the volcano had been active, and the
lava composition was full of the crys
tails that produce cirynith. Santos
gathered some in q small box and then
began to figure out his geographical
situation. He found that he was neal
