THE NEXT THING TO FLYING.

THE QUICKEST MOTOR-CABS

I have recently been having a spin through automobile land, and apeak from experience when I say it is simply gorgeo&s, and if we are not to fly be fore I get too rheumatic to care about it I shall be consoled by having done the next thing to it

The carriages that fly are massive, bob not heavy loo'iing; that would j ieeia complicated, perhaps, to the ordinary man, but when once you know & bit about them they strike you as of workmanlike simplicity. A full third of the length is occupied by the case covering the engines. Upon the dashboard is an array of small circular plated grease boxes, which upon being turned force the necessary lubricant clown to the various wearing surfaces ; thejjcylinders themselves are oiled by a mechanical arrangement which regu lates the quantity according to the speed. Then there are taps lor adjust ing the mixture of air and spirit vapour, which being exploded behind the piston is the motive force. The seats must be thoroughly well stuSed for comfort upon long journeys. Suppose you 1 are going to have the s^me bit of fun as I have been enjoy irg. The car Is ready at the door. You hear the sound ahe is making— not a continuous pulsation like a steam engine, or a rapid succession of puffs like the smaller motors, but a burst of explosions—four, but too qaick for the ear to separate —like a bronchial giant clearing his throat ; then a pause of silence, lasting as much as three or occasionally even five seconds; fchen another cough, another interval, and so on. The periods are the result of a device which regulates the intake of charge until the revolutions of the fly wheel have slowed down to a pre determined point, and then allows ft fiesh cylinder-full to be drawn in. But think what &n enormous reserve of power thia means. Imagine these explosions, which unless they were muffled would bark with the report of a machine gun, permitted to follow one another so closely as to be con* tlnuoua ; well, that mear b that the engine will be giving off the whole day long, up ■ hill and down dale, without wearing, without turning a hair, a force of 20 fco 30-borse power ; and everybody knows that the horse is not yet bred which can do its theoretical work of one horse power for any length of time at a stretch

Take your seat. You've got your specs on, not a mere ordinary pair of glasses on wires, but deep goggles on gauz*? sides, and a Sap of silk to shot out the draught, They don't look well, I grant you, but you must have them when yon are running at 40 miles an hoar

You seem to be travelling quite alowly, but it ia deceptive j yours going quicker than you think Glance back at the ground running away and the dust spurned from the tyresj it is probably near the English legal limit.

No, the rise makes very little differ ence to a car like this. You hardly notice it, though it's getting pretty steep. That was the worst of Uir farlier raotora, they crawled up hill so liresomely ; then if one wanted to keep up a decent average the only thing waa to tear down hili dangerously. With the big cars of to-day the wise man will often take more time running down thaa he did to go up. There is certainly not the same temptation to reckless driving with ample power as with only just sufficient, therefore the authorities at home ought to Emile upon big cars. You'll do this bill all right without lowering gear ; thoße great c'mins. are tugging on the spokes with almost irresistible forcp. That's it. Keep her well in hand, and have your footbrake in reserve

Fow for a piece of level,, and you'll see what flying is like. Jam down your hat. None of the packages adrift? All ri<<ht, sit down tight; and you'd better get a grip of the side. I've §xed my stop watch handy. Listen to tho exhaust j you hear the motor quickening; she is making the best of the third speed: now she is catting out, she wants more to do. OHck in the fourth. He did that well, you scarcely felt it. The explosions, though you don't hear much of them, seem to treading on one another's heels now and making one continuous stream c£ sound, but each volley represents a tur» of the Ijy wheel Bat never mind that,, jast liaten to the music of the gear. Whirling around in their bath of oil, a thousand times or more a aainate, these toothed discs do indeed make music to the ear of the enthusiast. Notice how it rises ia pitch higher and higher as the ear gathers impetus. How, but not a moment sooner or you would shake your engine to pieces, down goes the sGcel'epatw taking the bit, as it werp, out of its mouth; She is moving at last. You feel yourself pressed by. tho rush of air against the back of your beat. Pat your head down* How it whizzes past your face, a 'j&voreign cure for neuralgia, though you might not think it And the grass sfc the roadside, and the poplar trees. It's a fine long straight and all clear. The kilometre stones Bkim away behind. Beady, now. Sixty»one se conds. Another. Fiffy-five. She is jesting into her stride. Eeady, stone. | Fifty three. That is over forty-two j miles an hour,

1 What did I say ?OOsh s I asked what you thought of it.' 8 As good as flying. 1 4 Makes your blood stir, doesn*nt it? Bat I can't make you hear sitting behind. The rush of air carries words away. And we shall have another half hour of it with luck before we come to the next village—Arundell Whatton in the Sphere.

SANDER AND SONS EUCALYPTI EXTRACT



Under the distinguished patronafc, of Hie Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire through the Consul-General for Italy, »t Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Olinioa and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract .n tho market, products of simple distillation forming crude reainoui oils. In order that these orude oila mtty not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EOOALYPT I SXTEACT, which is recognised by the uecHcp) division of the PrnsaianGovernmen to be of perfectly pare origin, as pc information forwarded to as through th xmaul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, w bate:— It is proved by testa by the Medical Oliea. of the Universities at Bonn &nd Grelfswald ■ Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sahals:,Pfof«Mor of Pernmcology, at Bon, and Professor Dre Mossier, Director af the Medical Clinics at Greifsw&ld, that only product* that wri saturated with oxygen aid freed of Midi, reainoua and other substanoes, adherent to primary distillation, will develop* thi sanative qualities proper to the plan, 111 orude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extraoti are to be classed according to the awtned Authorities, Among the turpendnet* whioh ire abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so mile Eucalypti Extraoti, are discernible z— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen, 2 By their alcoholio thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in speoioo density through tae prosenoe of aoidt. o By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resin* mud tennates. if these orude oils, so-e lied eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistft ;e in oases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal snflamatlons, dysentery, etc., the oon sequences are most appalling.
