The dia- grams also give a clear idea of how the machine runs on land or water capable of plunging into a stream and rolling to the other side. One of the oddest features of the revolutionary machine is formed by the steel-tube crutches that project ahead on either side like medieval lances. As the tank rushes upon a trench or obstruction, the op- erator will drop the tubes so they dig into the earth and the whole machine will vault through the air to the other side.

Attracted by the economy and compact- hicle, they have been attack- ing anew the problems of bal- ness of a one-wheeled ve- ance and propulsion which have been the stumbling blocks in the path of the inventors. In England, an Italian inventor has just demonstrated a single-passenger unicycle in which he claims to have reached speeds of 100 miles an hour and to have made 280 miles on a gallon of gasoline. In the near future, he plans to bring the machine to the United States and demonstrate its adaptability to American highways. Per- fected after more than ten years of ex- periment, this odd machine rests solely upon one huge pneumatic tire encircling the driver, and dispenses entirely with ex- terior steering apparatus. The metal rim within the tire supports the frame and driver's seat and is rotated by a motor of one and three-fourths horsepower. To guide the vehicle to left or right, a steer- ing wheel tilts the central frame with respect to the wheel, shifting the driver's weight and thus steering the hoop. Mod- els of various sizes are contemplated, the diameter of the hoop being suited to the height of the driver, so that a tall man, according to the inventor, would use a larger unicycle than a short man.
