“Amphibious” Motor Boa Invention
of Austrian 8eema to Hava Baan
Proved a Buocaaa
A number of people have bean wort
lng of late years to aolve the problem
of constructing a vehlole capable of
traveling upon both land and water
More than one has had aome degree of
success but none la better perhaps
than that Invented by a Viennese engi-
neer namet' If Zelner
This ‘‘land motor boat” resembles an
ordinary touring car In appearance ex-
oept that the body is rather higher
But besides its wheels it is provided
with a propeller placed at the rear
The power of the motor can be
switched from the running gear to the
propeller screw and vice versa It is
built so as to take quite steep grades
with ease Hence one may ride down
the eloping bank of a river plunge into
the current switch the power to the
propeller and cross the stream in a
practicable motor boat Arriving at
the other side the engine is switched
to put the wheels In commission once
more the bank is easily climbed and
the Journey continued without more
ado
The vehicle has made good under
practical tests and is expected to be
particularly valuable for military use
It is bo built as to go well In swampy
and muddy country In shallow water
wheels and propeller may be used si-
multaneously this is a particular ad-
vantage when a sand bank Is acciden-
tally encountered in a stream since It
removes the danger of "getting stuck'
The power is supplied by a 16-horse
power four-cylinder motor which gives
a speed on land of 45 miles per hour
This speed is diminished in water to
about twelve mile per hour — Literary

PARISIANS IN SOBER MOOD
War Has Wrought an Immense Change
In the Life of the “Gay
Capital” - -
“Many of the leading French artists’’
says a writer in Cartoons Magazine
"arc at the front painting war as It is
Others have remained at home to por-
tray little incidents of Paris Among I
the latter is L Sabattler for many
years cartoonist of Le Figaro and who
is remembered for his broad sweeping
style in crayon
"Perhaps the most notable of his I
recent drawings is ‘Len Matlnales’—
the early morning wanderers of the
Paris streets in war times In the
small hours of- the long night they
pass by these women as unnoticed as
the good angels that guard us against
evil Under the veils that shroud their
faces — somewhat drawn by the long I
vigil — one perceives the white hair of I
a mother or the blonde or brown locks I
of a young girl Some are returning
from a night's watch at the bedside of I
a wounded soldier others are on their I
way to duty as nurses in one of the
many hotels and clinics now converted I
Into Red Cross hospitals All traverse I
Paris at the hour when not so long ago
they used to return from the ball orl
the theater No more of the gay night I
flaneurs in evening dress who hailed I
a taxi while they finished a cigar The
morning wanderers pass in silence
alone with their thoughts theirs the
satisfaction of duty accomplished”
