Tho Auto and tho Horse.
Mr. Edison thinks ho has solved
tho problem of tho electric storago
battory with a machine that will
go 100 miles without recharging.
As a consequenco ho predicts
automobiles cheap enough for tho
humblest and tho rotiromont of
tho horso both for cartage and
pleasurn
We lmvo heard something liko
this before. Tho electric street
car promised to put tho horso out
of business and tho bicyclo was
quite Buro it would finish tho job.
But the four-legged friond of man
is still in demand and quito likoly
will bo continue to bo oven aftor
automobiles aro as common as
baby buggies.
Unquestionably amaehino such
as Mr. Edison describes is
cheaper to keop than a horso ; but
as ho intimates tho universal
ime of the automobilo requires
universal good rondB and that is
a consummation a long way off.
Besides thoro aro certain uses to
which tho machino can never bo
put. It can not cut across lots or
holds and jump ditches and fonces.
It can not bo employed in war.
It will never bo availablo for tho
farm or tho ranch.
Moreover man will novor sur-
render tho dolight of tho fool of a
roin. Thoro is a sensation in
striding a noble animal or in hold-
ing him down on a sholl road
that no more thing of tires and
wheels and electric fluid can sup-
ply Tho rider or tho driver and
his horso are ono. Thoro is a
companionship between thorn an
understanding a co-operation
that is half tho pleasuro of going.
We can admire an iiiirenioun con
trivance liko an automobilo or n
