(BY BASSETI DIGBY F.R.0,8.)
The Americans continue to (dovise more new kinds of motor- ear froaks and otherwiss
than the rest of the natione put: together,
One of the most interesting that bas boon evolved resently is the now type of post ofßod van which is to be used in every town, where heavy transfers of banking funds are frequently made. Hold-ups by desperate armed oriminals are so common, despite the arms which aro carried by the driver and guards, that the now P. O, motora are actually armoured-onra, with stoel-protected wind-shields and | bullot-proof bodies. Bullet-proof| | stool-shuttere, slotted or rido-fire by the defenders, line the sidos and can be slammed to smoothly, on their ball-boarings, in a triso,
They are equipped with so automatic siron that yolls for help the moment the driver, romlising that he being ambushed; switchos it on. And it continues to yoll for an hour, oven. if drivor and guarda bo shot dead, thus arous-) log all the police and announcing its whero-abouts.
When the United States wont dry, Herr August A. Busch, the | Gorman-Amarloan" Boar King
of St. Louis, still manazod to save a few millions from tho die- anter. A trifling fragment of this hoard he has recently aponti on a typically Toutonic "luxury car" for transporting his race- horses from moot to most. It looks more like a pior pavillon on wheels than anything else, with a largo panol picture of astooplo- chaser on a white horse, taking a fance, let into the sido-to advertise the contents. Under the car is a large tank of drink- ing-water for the horsos. The sides of the two borso-boxes aro Bued with canvas-covered rubbor airpads, lost the stoads lurch against them going round a cor- ner, and get a bruiso.
An idea we really ought to adopt is the motor-cyclo and Bide-car fire ongine for villages and rural districts, that otherwiro are left entire. ly at the morcy of the flamos. It carries a 2 cylinder gasoleno Buc. tion pump and four 500ft. longths of hose, through all of which,. eimultaneously, a G0ft. jut can be sprayed on a fire. In some respects a "baby firo-engine" like this is suporior to a full-size ano, travols at a highor spoed, it can! travel along a pathway or a nar- row bridio-path short-cut across the fialda, and if only a small pond or cistern is available, its less thirsty demands on the water supply koop it spraying strategical points long after a fully-size fire-engine's hose would havo sucked the pond dry.

A monster hauling tractor, so onormous that it would give you quito a scare if you suddenly camo Jon it unawares, is passing its tosta
with lying colours in the timber] forests of Oregon. The wheels al one are twice the hoight of a man, and an ordinary 4-scator car can run right under it from front to back. Its function is to save time and wages by supersed. ing the present way of moving felled treatrucks, which is to aling them beneath a bar botwoon two high whoels, and drag thom off very slowly, and with num- erous horses, to 0 chute or [shipway by way of which oventually thoy roach the sawmill.
