GOING ON WHEELS
From the Ancient Chariot to the
Modern Motorcar.
EVOLUTION OF THE VEHICLE.
Tha Crude Carts Ua«d In the Early
Agaa by the Roman* War* Followari
by Carrlagaa—Than Cama Covarad
Coachaa With Doora and Wlndowa.
From tho forked limb of e tree to
the automobile has the Solution of
the Tehlcle expanded. For hundreds
of years the chariot relgifcd supreme,
and, bea-ing a fair resemblance to It
even In this day, crude forms of carts
on two wheels are to be seen In India,
China, Ceylon, Mexico and other coun
tries. In China centuries ago the mon
ocyte was in great favor. This odd
vehicle, much llk» the modern wheel
barrow, Is still In general use In many
parts of the country and is propelled
by man power.
Among the two wheeled vehicles in
popular use in the Asiatic world may
be mentioned the "ekka," largely used
In northern India, and the famed Jln
rlklsha of Japan. The Romans first
established the use of carriages as
private means of conveyance, and with
them these vehicles attained a great
variety of form as well as of orna
mentation.
In all ages the employment of wheel
ed vehicles has depended largely upon
the condition of the roads on which
they were to be used, and the building
of great highways, such as the Applan
way by Claudius la 313 B. C., as well
as many others, greatly facilitated the
development of carriage traveling
among the Romans. In Rome as well
as in other large cities of the empire
It became necessary to restrict travel
!n carriages to a few persons of high
rank owing to the narrowness and
crowded condition o? the streets. For
the same reason the transport of goods
along the streets was forbidden be
tween sunrise and sunset. For long
Journeys and to convey parties the
"reda" and "carrnca" appear to have
been mostly used.
During the empire the carriage which
appears in pictorial representations of
public ceremonials the "carpentum."
It is very light, with two wheels, some
times covered and generally drawn by
two horses. If a carriage was drawn
by four horses they were yoked abreast
among the Greeks and Romans, not in
pairs, as now. From the Roman "car
ruca" are traced the modern English
name "carriage," the French "car
rosse" and the Italian "carrozza."
The "siri>ea" was a very ancient form
of vehicle, the body of which was of
osier basketwork. It originated with
the Gauls, by whom It was named
"henna," and was employed by them
for the conveyance of persons and
goods in times of peace and baggage
and supplies In time o? wftr.
On the introduction of the feudal sys
tem throughout Europe the use of car
riages was for some time prohibited us
teuuing to render the vassals less fit
for cavitary service. Meu of all grades
and professions rode or. horses or mules.
Horseback was the general mode of
traveling, and hence the memliers of
the council, who at the diet and on
other occasions were employed as am
bassadors, were callel "rittmelster."
In this manner also great lords made
their public entry Into cities.
Covered carriages were known In the
beginning of the fifteenth century, but
their use was confined to ladles of the
first rank, and It was accounted a re
proach for men to ride In them. For
a long time they were forbidden even
to women, but by the end of the fif
teenth century they were b.-lng em
ployed by kings and princes In long
journeys and later on 6tate occasions.
The first time that ambassadors ap
peared in coaches on a public official
occasion was at the Imperial commis
sion held at Erfurt in 1613. Soon after
this coaches became common all over
Germany, notwithstanding varlou* or
ders and admonitions to deter vassals
from using them.
Carriages seem to have been used to
some extent at quite an early period In
France, for there is still extant an
ordinance of Philip the Fair, Issued 111
1294, by which citizens' wives are pro
hibited from using them. It appears,
however, that about 1550 there were
only three carriages in Paris—one be
longing to the queen, another to Diana
of Poitiers and the third to Bene de
Laval, a very fat nobleman who was
unable to ride on horseback.
The first coach In England was
made in 155o for the Earl of Rutland
by Walter Blppon, who also made a
coach in 1556 for Queen Mary and In
1564 a state coach for Queen Elizabeth.
By the beginning of the seventeenth
century the use of carriages and
coaches had become so prevalent In
England that In 1601 the attention of
parliament was drawn to the subject,
and a bill "to restrain the excessive
use of coaches" was Introduced, which,
however, was rejected.
In regard to carriage construction, it
would *eem that glass windows or
hinged and completed doors were un
known prior to 1650. Public carriages
for hire, or hackney coaches, were In
troduced into London In 1625 and rap
idly grew in popularity. Notwithstand
ing the opposition of the king and
court, who thought they would ruin
the roads, they grew to number over
300 by 1650. In Paris they were in
troduced during the minority of Louis
XIV. by Nicholas Sauvage, who lived
In the Bue St Martin at the sign of
St. Fiacre, from which circumstance
hackney carriages in Paris have since
beei< called "fiacres." By 1694 there
wc:e over 700 of these conveyances in
London.—Argonaut

The Old-Time Prospector
—had to sink a shaft to make a test. Now he does his testing
with a portable drill quickly and economically.
Hob-nailed footwear for miners was the rule, too—until The B. F.
Goodrich Company made rubber boots and shoes with soles that Outwear
Steel. Miners everywhere are finding that they do not have
to half-sole these wonderful boots and shoes—"Hipress"
soles outwear the hobnails themselves. „ ' ^
These boots are MOLDED—just like the
famous Goodrich Automobile Tires — INTO
ONE SOLID PIECE. They can't peel, or crack,
or leak. "Hipress" is pure white in color and
has a "RedTine 'round theTop"to distinguish
it from all other footwear. Look for thai. "Red
Line" because only "Hipress" Boots and Shoes
have soles that are tougKer than steel.
