hour as something that shouldn't be allowed oy
law. Speed Of the 1890 brand was unknown IN
those days.
When that first railroad was opened for pas
senger service q man had to be employed to run
ahead Of the locomotive waving red nag as .
warning to pedestrians that the train was coming.
So much for 1925 Passenger travel TO-DAY Is
somewhat different as shown by the other photo-
graphs on this page. .--y...
Speed is, the main consideration; speed pius
novelty. And as there is no novelty in travehng
by rail at go miles hour, the passenger service
has been extended to other lanes OF travel
/. Commercial airplanes fitted up ike the lh-
terror of Pullman car have gone into the pas
senger carrying trade on regular organized seheu
ules An experimental service was opened iew
weeks ago for the accommodation OF new torA
capitalists who have summer homes 70 miles VI
SO distant from Wall street.
In the effort to reduce the time required for
travelling from place to place the airplane Is now
being used for long-distance flights one pas

nassenqers can be Carried with ease on this jour
new through the air and the plane Is capapie a oa
negotiating the entire distance at the rate OF loo
miles an hour. -
In the quest for speed and novelty there are
some who are not willing to wait for airplane ana
automobile manufacturers to develop something
new. Harry Habig, for instance, 1b-year-old
how who is attending the frstyear class at the
Ohio Mechanics Institute, is one OF them. 1t took
him whole year to build the miniature automo-
bile, a photograph Of which Is reproduced here.
He built it for hfs own use from parts OF an old
motorcycle, a discarded bicycle and few cast
of bits of machinery which he rebuilt into hi'

ready 10 make its first run Harry predicted thst
be would make IL 20 st % miles an hour. A.
matter Of fact the vehicle went bsttsr than 20
miles an hour. The youthful inventor ssys that

taken from the motorcycle and contains double
bent by the boy himself, The racsr weighs less
than 1000 pounds and travels A3 miles on
measured gallon Of gasoline
Miss Margaret Il. Dunlap Of Philadslphis Is
not an inventor, but she ID nevertheless hnding
plenty of speed novelty in the motor-drven scoot-
er on which she has been travelling around New
port this season. Many Of these automobile scoot-
ers are being made now and they promise to be-
come as popular as the bicycle was 20 years ago.
And talking about up-to-date speed novelty,
some mention should be made of Albert ST. John.
A New Brunswick guide, who recently had the
queerest ride Of his life. St. John and . COM
panion were rowing across one OF the big lakes
In the New Brunswick hunting district when q
huge moose plunged into the water ahead Of their
boat and started to swim across the lake. The
guides set after him and the moose in his efforts
to outdistance them became excited and got to
splashing around in circle in the middle of the
lake When near enough, st. John leaped on to
the back of the big animal and stuck there de-
spite the desperate efforts Of the moose to unseat
him. The other guide snapped the picture of st.
John's ride reproduced here. The guide, 1t may
he added chung to the moose's back until 1t had
carried him across the lake. Then he dropped
of. The moose disappeared among the trees on
the lake front, too frightened 70 seek vengeance

~ A very fair idea of what that first passenger
