The Ford car, it seems, had a narrow es'eape from being a watch. Mr. Henry Ford’s earliest experiments—so he has been telling the American Press—were devoted to an attempt to manufacture a watch that could be sold at thirty cents. At one time he was practising upon no fewer than 300 watches, and knew what made the wheels go round in every one of them. His interest in automobiles was due to his having been borp on a farm. His own experiences of farm life in America left upon Ihim a strong impression, that cheap mechanical transport was wanted. The first Ford automobile was a gasoline buggy, in which its inventor chugchugged through the streets of Detroit one day in 1892. followed by a string of frightened horses and a crowd of curious people. He ran thus experimental car 1000 miles until 1896, and then sold it, putting what he got for it into the building of a new and better madhine. At that time he was working as a foreman with the Detroit Electric Company at 125 dollars a month. Now he confesses to keeping an average bank balance of 27,000,000 dollars on whicn he can operate by cheque at a moment’s notice. Inflammatory Rheumatism.
