United States taxlcnbs are rapidly
displacing horse-drawn cabs and
carriages as public vehicles for
transportation in those horseless
vehicles aro almost always based
on the; distance traveled as sbown
on tbe registering dials of tho taximeters
it obviously becomes of the
gravest Importance that theBQ automatic
records shall be honest
and accurate in their chronicling.
Indeed, in many cities there have
been loud protests duo to alleged
overcharging of taxlcab patrons- the alleged
overcharging being attributed to tho faulty operation
of the taximeters. Whether such false accounting
was due to a desire to cheat the trav
oliiiR public or merely to faulty mechanism in
tho mechanical bookkeeper could seldom bo determined,
but in either ? vent the ouecome was tho

Kuril belongs the ct?m! 11 of first solving the problem.
The systi in Is now In successful operation
at the capital of tie- natl'ii, where, by the way.
there ar.' probably more tuxlcabs In operation
than In any other city of the shr.e in the world
Tho matter of keeping tub on the taximeters was
placed In tli?* hands of Col. NV. (' Haskell. the
t'nlted Slati b superintendent of weights ami
measun ;. and he lnv< nted the tirst machine spt
dully designed fur i< niii; the accuracy of the
"taxi."
The first apparatus was rather cumbersome
and tbn most conspicuous f-ature wii.i a largo
wooden wheel which was turned l?y hand Tim
principle of operation Involved the Insertion f a
small wire through the shaft of ?h meter to be
tested and turning the saim a certain n milx r of

machine when lilted *.ith the same size eccentric,
pprocket wheel and spiral shaft In use in !ax<
cabs gave a correct test, hilt it wan a Urnecon*

After much study <>f the subject Colonel Haskell
perfected the small machine which h;is lately
been Introduced fur this work. With It one rovo

It Is possible to test ten meters In tho time for

system of cogwheels Is so adjusted as to Rive an
absolutely accurate test. The government now
, requires that all taximeters attached to cabs at

fender of h street car, ndaptod to catching It.o
unlucky person and carrying him with the machlno

According to tho Inventors of this con
trivance. the cow catcher" will |irevent many
KcrloiiH accidents If placid on tho front of the
automobiles
The fre(|\i< ncs with which the claim Is made
that the automobile is largely an extravagance
and (hnl the | op!e hnve grown motor mad and
are annexing themselves to power conveyance*
wilh a r.?pidit\ and lack of discretion that threat
