AUTO THAT ACTUALLY JUMPS
Cars Peculiar Feature Based on the
Principle That Actuates the
Knee Of the Athlete.

The jumping stunts Of automobiles
in the movies are the result of trick
photographs, There has been produced
In France a light car that does many
of these spectacular performances, not
only pictorially, but actually, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. II Is a
small, light car with a speed OF %
miles an hour. The particular feature
that enables the car TO negotiate all
obstacles with impunlty is the manner
OF connecting the car to the rear
wheels. 1t has been compared with
the action of the human knee. A
jumper bends his legs at the knees,
straightcns them out rapidly to get the
effect of a spring. The rear wheels
do the same thing. On striking an
obstacle the wheels rise independently
Of the rest of the car, which remains
horizontal. Under test, when driven
against an obstacle 40 inches high,
with an approach sloping at IS de-
grees, the car was lifted to height
Of ~ inches and landed ut a distance
Of 20 feet, all four wheels striking the
ground simultaneously On landing,
the spring in the wheel connection
cushions the concusslon Of the wheel
with the ground. again resembling the
action of a Jumpers knee, which
bends under him as he alghts,

New York, Aug. 30--Devoting spare
hocrs to careful inspection Of public
buildings in the hope of finding satire
in stone has become fad.
II began with the discovery by re-
porter that architects had carved a
dollar sign as twin motif to the
lovers knot over the bridges en-
trance to st. homass Chcrch on
Fifth Avenue. A few days later some

served for the first time that NINA,
ture face OF modern men and
maids of the Avenue had been
chiseled above the main door OF
the edIfce. 4 congregation that
went to pray remained to laugh.
Some OF these caricatures wore
monocles. others wore smiles; some
were surely tired business men and
good housewives while others mani.

One face was not so modern. how,
ever. 1t was year or two behind the
times. On its nose was tho mmst

Another had such bored look OBJ
servers were sure 1t was a man who
just went to church to please his wife
Rumors that many well known
buildings in New York had been sub
iected to jocose treatment by the
artisans who worked upon them
moved whole tlocks of people TO sally
forth, some with spy.glasscs or lorg
ncttes to look for sculpturcd Jokes
Architects gave interviews explain
ing how serious the satire was; this
sort OF humor has been practiced since
the middle ages, not in spirit OF
levity but with the design of present

and wrong in thought and action, they

the architects had just had their little
jokes and none would have been sur
prised in finding a bust of Lenlns

New York Stock Exchange or a oarv

the AntiSaloon League.
