Young Inventor Has Engines

By BASIL ID. WOON,
Universal Service.

PARIS, Aug. 19.-The dream"
from Russia a year ago Of the loco
motive capable Of travelling the 1900
miles from Petrograd to Vladivostok
without a stop is not a dream, but
an amazing reality.
have just seen incontestable
proofs of the existence Of this mar
velous invention. and talked at
length with it's inventor. He has
given Universal Service the privi-
lege of first announcing the discov-
cry of an absolutely new principle in
locomotion--the endless manufacture
Of electricity in enormous quantities
from comparatively small reservoirs
Of gasoline.
The name of the young man whose
invention will one day revolutionize
railway travel to the same degree
that the automobile revolutionized
road travel, is Ivan Mahonin. His
home is at Petrograd. He IL thirty
three years old. and he is now nego-
tiating for the sale or world rights
in his invention to an American syn
dicate.
At the age OF twenty.four Ivan
Mahonin was already the best-known
inventor in Russia. As a result Of
the success Of two OF his war inven-
tions, utilized by allied armies. the
aerial torpedo and 'self-directive"
aerial searchlight-he was decorated
by the late Gar. Here are some Of
the features of his latest and most
extraordinary inventions:
An electric locomotive with power
n n tel tw.
which gasoline Is the only fuel.
Amount Of gasoline needed to
travel 900 miles; one cubic yard.
Capacity of gasoline tankage: Ten
cubic yards.
Water need: None.
No noise, no smoke, no third rail,
no overhead wires.
Locomotive capable of pulling
seventy freight cars at maximum
speed of ninety miles per hour.
No overheating. Could go the
length Of the Mojave desert without
stop.
Eighty per cent reduction in per.
sonnel.
Cost: One-fifteenth the cost of run
ming steam locomotive.
The proofs have been shown in.
clude certificates from Russian Of
ficials, photographs of the inside and
outside Of tho locomotives, photo
graphs Of the inventor driving the
locomotive, copies Of Russian news
papers with reporters accounts Of a
trial trip In which the Mahonin train
went the 500 miles between Moscow
and Petrograd without stopping, and
letters from Russian engineers at
testing to the success Of the experiI
ments.
''I always had the idea of this in
vention in my head" said Mahonin
TO me today. but was handicapped
by the fact that could not raise tho
necessary capital to insure the sue.
cess of my experiments"
According to Information ex-
clusively given to Universal Service
negotiations now proceeding viii
make II certain that Mahonin trains
VIII be running In America within q

KID NJ COY To

No. 8.
By MARY LARRIMORE,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19.-Nor.
man kid Mccoy Selby is no
gutter. He says he is going to
solve the puzzle of how to be happily
married II he has to keep right on
attending his own weddings until
he dies Of old age. Think Of It.
Eight full rounds in the wedding
ring and now he comes up smiling
for the ninth. Picture, dear reader.
'"Kid" Mccoy, a stalwart young man
seated in his own apartment. He
looks less than the forty-nine years
to which he admits. His hand stray.
ed to the table at his elbow and he
picked UP the family album.
Simple. Sweet Girl.
A sweet, simple. young girl Of
eighteen beamed up from page one.
Rejecting back to 1895, the Kid
told me about Lottie Piehler, No. 1,
whom he married after a weeks
acquaintance.
II was only nineteen then and
scarcely remember the details. But"
he added pensiyely, mo doubt the
little girl remembers all about me.
This is No. 2, whom I married
in 1S97-Julia Woodruff, we lived
together until 1900. She got inter-
ested in another man and I let her
divorce me. Thinking about 1t later
in Paris got sore, returned to
America, recourted her and we
married again. Julia and l didn't
get on SO well. We were married
and divorced three times, making
her wife No. 2, 3 and T."
The fifth wife was Indola Arnold,
Of Providence, r. I.
The Kid looked admiringly at her
picture. "She was beautiful and
after I divorced her married
Lillian Earle Ellis, q widow with
S750,000 We rambled all over
Europe and then settled down as a
jeweler in New York"
But after three years they were
divorced.
Beautiful Feet.
Number Z was Edna Valentine.
II loved her more than the rest,
she had such beautiful feet" the
Kid said.
The last but not the least of the
Kids wives was Dagmar Dalgren, a
motion picture actress and dancer,
but she kicked over the traces after
a brief married life.
Who will be No. 9 and how long
will 1t last?
= These are the questions to be
answered.
At any rate the Kid surely is a
glutton for punishment.

Collects Specimens Of Air.

The instrument used by French
scientist for collecting specimens OF
air at high attitudes with the aid OF
sounding balloons consists Of very
perfect vacuum tube with a finely
drawn out end. Either the rise OF
the mercury in the barometer, CORE
spending with previously deter
mined altitude, or the clockwork OF
the meteorograph, forms an electric
contact, causing little hammer TO
fall and break the end of the tube.
Air then rushes in, whereupon another
electric contact, brought about by the
same means, causes the current OF
small accumulation to heat the plat
mum wire wound around THE capillary
tube to a red heat. This fuses the
glass and again closes the end OF
the vacuum tube, thus entrapping the
air

statements from Bradford people.

HOW FIRST LOCK WAS MADE
Development Of the Key Reveals an
Interesting Story of Ages Long
Passed Away.

The modern lock is a development
of the horizontal bar placed across
the inside Of the door. This was a
good substitute for a lock when one
remained inside, and to adjust it so
that it would fall into place when the
door was closed from the outside was
comparatively simple, but to lift the
bar from the outside when one wished
to enter, was the problem. This was
accomplished by fitting hole into the
door post, through which something
designed to lift the bar was inserted.
This was the first keyhole and the
instrument used in lifting the bar
was the first key, says the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle.
The simplest idea for preventing
the bar from sliding was to bore a
hole in the top of the bar, which
would also penetrate the staple on
which it rested, and drop a peg into
the hole through the staple. The I'M
locking problem could be accom-
plished by any instrument which would
lift the peg and permit the bar to
slide back. Then if a series of pegs
were used, all Of which had to be
lifted, unlocking would be more diff
ficult. In our modern locks, the pegs
have simply been replaced by "tum-
blers" on which the key acts in the
same way. The key originally had
wooden pegs fastened to correspond
with the pegs holding the bar in place
on the inside, and these pins developed
into the notches which are on our
modern keys. AS there were no
pockets In those days the other end
Of the key was made into ring and
worn on the finger. That is why the
keys of today usually have a ring at
the end-just a relic of the past.
