NEW STEAM AUTO
IS REMARKABLE
as a result ol prolonged experi
ments a Detroit inventor has (level
opened a steam-power automobile
which seems to obviate most of the
objections usually presented by vehi
cles of Its type. In a general way
it embodies many of the best fea
tures of both gas and steam cars.
By turning a switch and opening the j
throttle, the car Is started almost In- '
stantly. There are no gears, lovers,
or clutch to operate, while unlimit
ed flexibility is afforded. From a
snail's pace to a speed of 80 miles an
hour, the car Is said to run prac
tically without engine vibration.
There Is no noise and nothing to
watch but the road. So far as ap
pearance is concerned, the machine
would ordinarily be mistaken for a
gasoline car. Fourteen miles can be
ooverod with a gallon ot kerosene
The steam Is condensed, after being
and saved. This makes It posslbU
to travel from 1,300 to 2,000 milel
without replenishing the water sup.
ply. The fuel is vaporized, mixed
with air in a carburetor, heated, and
burred in a specially designed com
bustion chamber. A small electric
blower supplies the necessary vol
ume of air, while the Ignition Is ac
complished f lectrically. The latter
Is the striking feature of the sys
tem, for it relieves that driver of 1
the necessary of giving attention or
labor to the matt”! of firing the boil
er. In case the case stands Inactive
for several days, about a minute and
a half la required In starting It. If,
however, It has merely been Idle
over night, or during a correapond
i
mg period, It starts at once. The
cor Is described in the November j
Popular Mechanics Magazine. I
OFFERS ARCTIC SECRET
FOR MILLION DOLLARS
By the outlay of only |1,000,000
any one who Is interested! In getting
insido information concerning the
North Pole .and who really discover- j
ed it, can satisfy his curoslty. Mene j
Wallace will tell him.
Mene, a boy of 14 when he made
his first trip to New York as a
member of the band of Eskimos
which Admiral Peary brought back
with him in 1897, arrived again the
other day on the liner Stephane
from St. Johns.
He is a sturdy looking man of 23
and apparently has forgohtten none
of the English he picked up so rap
idly during his few years’ stay here
when a lad.
"1 have come to tell the people of
New York all about the discovery of
the North Pole,” Mene said, after he
had Informed the reporters that hs
was thq same Individual who hud
onco lived here In the home of Will
iam Wallace, superintendent of the
Museum of Natural History.
To specific Inquiries he added:
“But first I must have one million
dollars.”
"It’s worth more, but I’m no pig,”
said Mene. "I can live well in
Greenland on the income from one
million.”
The Eskimo refused to be more
explicit and gave no indication
whether his unsold story would favor
the contention of Admiral Peary of
Dr. Cook.
