SEA TRAVEL

Liverpool, April 1.-The policy
of the United States in restricting
the inflow of emigrants under a
quota system coupled with high build
ing costs, is likely to cause the de-
velopment of a new branch Of travel

Line, writing in that company's mag
aZine.

A STORY has been handed
~ down through the ages about
\ one of our ancestors of the
Stone Age who built up large
trade by winding serpents around
solid stone wheels, as tires. The re-
suit is said to have looked more or
less like our balloon equipped disc
wheels of today. Inasmuch as there
are no witnesses living today, the
story will have to be accepted or
left. as you think best.
However. in 1916 a Scotchman,
named Thompson, patented this
Egyptian idea. His tire was a crude
Continuance leather cover bolted
on the wooden rim of the wheel.
The tire proved to be impractical
and was soon abandoned. Thomp
son had foresight, though, for his
patent also included rubber inner
tube on the same principle as those
used today-in effect the first pneu
matte tire.
In 1871 Thompson built several
road steamers of the traction type
and equipped them with solid rub
