Transportation Methods of Old Days :INTHE :

1 The history of highway transports
tion since the days of the Roman em
pire exhibits few phases, and great
turning points which have marked
new eras in progress. In efficiency, in
conveniences or economy. Historians
of transportation tell us that man’s
first land vehicle was a boatlike struck
ture without wheels, which was pulled
by sheer brute strength, first by man
and then by animals which he sub
• jugated, the on, horse and mule. The
next step in land transportation was
by means of crude rollers, which were
clipped underneath the vehicle very
much on the order of the rollers which
we see in use in moving small build
, ings short distances.
When the revolving wheel was ap
plied to vehicles a great impetus was
given to highway transportation and
for 4,000 years at least. Until very re
cently, highway transportation saw
very little change or improvement,
says the Engineering Magazine.
If we carefully compare the methods
of highway transportation in the daye
of the Roman empire and the year
1912 we find that the greater percen
tage of the world la still using the
horse and wagon very much after the
fashion of the Romans; we see no
great evolution in highway transpor
tation parelleling the wonderful ad

delivery of our merchandise is much
after the fashion of 5,000 years ago,
although the motor, the iron horse of
the highway, has reached mechanical
perfection in the span of ten years;
however, so great a slave to custom is
man that he finds today comparative
ly little commercial utilisation of one
of the greatest civilising agencies and
efficiency tools that so far has been
given the world.
The development of this efficiency
tool has gone on so quietly and at the
same time so thoroughly that the
world at large, grounded In horse tra
ditions, has not yet been informed on
motor transportation. To an investi-
gating mind it seems paradoxical that
in the twentieth century the human
race should be using for one purpose
means that were employed dosens ol
centuries ago.

1 Possibly the excessive, brilliancy of
the new high efficiency, nitrogen-filled
tungsten filament lamp is a blessing
in disguise because it renders Impera-
tive methods of shading the lamps
and diffusing the light from such a
source. There is little temptation to
hang the bare lamp within the range

done with incandescent lamps of va-
rious kinds in the past With a lamp
of such high efficiency the losses In-
separable from various methods of
diffusion become less important in
dollars and cents. For this reason,
and because of the unbearable bril-
lancy of the unshaded lamp, the new

Never Be Confidential.
The Cynic, writing in the American
Magazine, says:,
"When you are talking to any one,
always assume a secretive air and tell
a few matters in 'absolute confidence*
—never to be repeated.’ This will
sdd a little to the interest of your
conversation and possibly prevent
your boring your companion to the
point of weariness. But of course
never really tell a friend anything in-
teresting, and particularly never real-
ly tell him anything la confidence. If
you do he will become so absorbed in
his Interest in the item of news, that
in a week, be will utterly forget who
told it to him and enter with genuine
relish into the work of giving It the
widest publicity.”
