I from Kehl that, according to the
V . Journal of Alsace-Lorraine, the
: ;.-... Stenophile • Bivort. . recently in
vented'- by. 'Oharlrs . -Bivor.t.- chevAiier of
thf 'I^gl-on of Honor and director of the
Bulletin; of the Halles, has given some
very; practical., and] interesting results.
- The rnar-hine reproduces sounds auto
matically. ; by. syllables. In typographic
<-hara<-ters(: ; It is operated In. the same
tvf*y as the typewriter; has a keyboard,
; winch .consists of twenty keys. Each
koy. upon being pressed, points the cor
responding letter on a band of paper,
which unrolls itself on a sort of pulley.
Th* .' characters are the came as those
of the usual alphabet. It is easy 'to
r^ad. at first" sight what the machine
h.i«= written. It Is simple, strong and
light, and exacts In \u25a0 its management
.rieJtherV effort . nor rigid attention. . . A
child rr blind man. can easMyi learn -to

as high as 20-0 words per mlnut*\ with
out fatiguing the operator or annoying

ROLLER POLOISTS
PLAY EXCITING
MATCH GAME
. ;The Aodltorium roller polo team con
tinued its strtng of victories last night
by defeating the team representing
Oakland in the Auditorium Rink. The
score- was 4 to .1, although from: the
rush., with, which Oakland started, it
.seemed : for. a time that they Would
-run ;Up- a. big ..score. . The ball had
hardly been put in play In the first
period : by ; Referee ' E. J» Bennett when
A. McElrath. the captain of the Oakland
.team, secured possession of it. Before
the opposing players could stop him he
had the ball safely in the net.
Although the visiting players showed
determination throughout the. riiatch
and \u25a0 Indulged in some rough play at
.times, they, were never able to score
again. For the opposing team Langdon
• * cored two' goals," Captain Smith. one
and Fry one. M. Anthony, the Oakland
goal tender, helped the opposing team
by scoring one of the goals for them,
although the credit for It is given the
player who had just struck the ball.
In an effort to keep the ball out of the
goal Anthony misjudge his effort. In
stead of keeping It out he drove It Into
th* net.
The inclement weather seemed to
hay«» no effect on the attendance, the
b!g pavilion being crowded with spec
tator?. The' game is easily understood
and all the clever plays were ap
plauded. Team work is still lacking,
byt as. they have Just learned the game
This I« to. be expected. With the prac
tice they are getting they will soon be
pa y ins 1 a- high class gam*. The teams
wer«»;rnade up as follows:

R. R. l'Hommedieu
The ; automobile enthusiasts have
been spending their time during the
interim of quiet resulting from : the
:rainfall figuring, out how ; many motor
cars there are jin the different cities as
compared jrlth the population- Taking
the population of the United States as
a basis, thero are 566 persons? ; to every
machine.; California— especially San
Francisco— has an enviable record. This
State has one car for every 173 .persons
and the city has one car to every 133
persons. " New York ; has one car to
every 210 persons and Chicago has one
car to every 377 persons. v i :
; E. P. Brlnegar of the Pioneer- Auto-
I mobile Company, who has Just returned
from the Eastern shows, is enthusiastic
over the automobile outlook. \u25a0;\u25a0, He said
yesterday: -that the Easterners were
turning their : attention* this :year to
runaDouts-— not runabouts , as r they, are'
"known jjj on this coast, .but the high
power .and high-priced ' carsVL (More: of
these cars were- exhibited this, season
than .eyer before and the sales were
large. Brlriegar, believes the "runabout
fever" will strike this coast. "\u25a0':."-\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0. :': \u25a0 \'\
The Martland Automobile Company
will have a large exhibit in the coming

with 132-Inch : wheel base; also a 50

with a 120-inch ; wheel base. This car
will carry six passengers. Another car
that will be shown will.be a 35-horse

a 50-horsepower, 4-cyllnder limouslri©

Mr. and Mrs. George 5% Moore have
arrived from the southern show, which
they visited after 'spending, several
weeks in the East. While away they
called at a number'of the; principal ac
cessory lactories, and ; they brought
back many novelties In - the way of
samples of the latest In automobile
Clothing and sundries. Moore,; in speak
ing of what, he saw while away, said:
"The . greatest invention that came
under my notice was a dynamo that is
run by the flywheel and which -re
charges the -batteries. This Invention
makes it possible always to have
electric lights on the.cars. It is a sim
ple device and one -that Is going to
revolutionize the storage battery prob
lem. It is one of the greatest time
savers that I saw. . It may not be of
much importance in cities, but out in
the country it is Invaluable, especially
when the cars are far from the charg
ing stations." .-
