A few of the more important 3d- \'antages that, advocates claim for motor busses over trolley cars are : Passengers when boarding or leaving the busses are less liable to be. run down by the regular street traffic because the busses stop at the curve; other street traffic is not held up while passengers are getting on or on; the noise of flat wheels is elim- inated; the network of wires and the costly extensions 'of tracksge‘ are unnecessary; busses can give short- Not all of the "poor but proud" youths who begin in the convention- al way to make their fortunes meet a rich banker early in their career; but it does not matter if they make the most of their jobs.

FACT AND COMMENT HE magnificent chain of fine motor roads which wind through the Selkirks and the Canadian Paci- fic Rockies to Vancouver and points on the southern British Columbia border, thence through the western states of America, touching as they do the finest of the Canadian and American National Parks. need no introduction to the world of motor- dom. Every mile at roadway. espe- cially through the Canadian Parks where it has, in many places. been cut out of solid rock and at stupend- ous cost. has been built with an eye to easy travelling and scenic gran- deur, and from early spring until late in the fall a continuous stream of automobiles, bearing licences issued in every town on the con- tinent, pour along the highway. No- where else can the motorist obtain such a long run through such ever changing scenes of natural beauty. During the past few years it has become quite the thing to motor through vacation time, and those who choose this way of holidaying are unanimous in their choice of a “hunt- in;, :round.” British Columbia and the rookies are not the things to be “done." hooause having travelled through them once means never to have willingly done with the country.

A Virginian named Collier has built an internal combustion engine that. he says, applies the power of 1 the motor directly to the rim of the wheel without the intervenion of a piston. He. believes that it will treâ€" ble the efficiency of automobile en- gines and enable a motor car to run fifty or sixty miles on a gallon of gasoline. Mr. Collier’s engine has one spark-plug, no pistons, no crank ‘ shaft and no gears. It has only 117' parts, whereas even the simplest of automobile engines have hitherto had more than tires hundred.
