MOTOR NOTES.
An attempt to run. motor stages between Homestead and Whitaker, Pa., has failed.
Robert Allison, of Port Carbon, Pa., 75 years old, is pr'obably the most enthusiastic chauffeur of his age in the .world. Between April 20 and and October 1) he' rode 1,170 miles in his machine. . !.
Between 700 and 800 automobiles in Paris are capable of traveling better than 10 miles an hour, and, according to the law. are required to placard their machines with large-figured numbers.
The first project of touring the world in an automobile has been made. An English resident of Paris would make the journey in a gasoline machine of five-horse power. If the French Automobile club will furnish him with the requisite gasoline at the stations on the mute he guarantees to make the trip within a year. Automobiles in (innuat, France, have been restricted to the speed of a horse walk. The mayor invites the citizens to assist him in carrying out the ordinance, even to the extreme measure of “drawing across the streets on the approach of offending vehicles chains, n.pes or solid wire.” Auto tourists would better leave Gannat off their calling lists.
