QUEER AT TOMATONS

EXAMPLES FROM THE DAYS OF DADALUS TO THE PRESENT.

& Wooden Venus That Walked and s Brazen Man That Talked—A Wonderfu: Mechanical Duck—The Greatest of A.)

the Fraudulent Automatons.

There are few things more attractive © the generality of men or more calcu- ated to excite their wonder and admira- tion than a dexterously and mysteriously contrived automaton. There is, indeed, something almost uncanny in the sight ef a figure made by men’s hands acting like acreature of flesh and blood, and this uncanniness is one of the most sub- tle of fascinations. Hence the silver of the curious readily finds its way into the pockets of men ingenious enough to invent such marvels.

This passion for che automaton is cer- tainly no new thing. One meets it in almost the earliest books, sometimes veiled in myth, sometimes more direct- ly stated. Vulcan, it will be remem- bered, made automatic tripods for the gods of Olympus — stools which ad- vanced of their own accord to the ban- queting table and so retired when the feast was over.

Aristotle tells us that the human au- tomata which Dedalus made were so active that it was necessary to keep them tethered for fear they would run away. The same philosopher describes a wooden Venus who walked about and gives also the secret of the phenomenon. She was filled with quicksilver—a some- what crude device. Albertus Magnus is credited with having made a brazen

} man who talked and St. Thomas Aqui-

nas with having pounded it to pieces with a club, suspecting it to be a work of satan. Some marvelous feats of mechanism are credited to John Muller, otherwise known as Regiomontanus, who flourished in the fifteenth century, and in dealing with him we perhaps touch firmer ground. One was an iron

fly which hew around a table, another |

a wooden eagle which went out to meet Emperor Maximilian on his entry of Nuremberg on June 7, 1470, and re- turned with him to the city gates.

Whether due or not to the stimulus given by Louis XIV, the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were in France times of great automatic activity. In- ceed, the first named century marks the beginning of the really historical era of automata. In the eighteenth century lived Mr. YVaucanson, perhaps the most wonderful of all makers of automata and the creator of the famous duck which first appeared before the pubiic in 1741. The duck was Vaucanson’s masterpiece and completed a reputation already made wide by his mechanical flute player and an automatic musician which not only blew upon the flageolet, but also kept time to it on a tambourine. The bird was of life size, and not only was it outwardly an exact imitation to a feather of a real duck, but its internal anatomy was absolutely true to life. So, indeed, -were its movements, for it swam, dived, walked, quacked, ate, drank and by an ingenious device even seemed to digest its food.

This automaton disappeared after its inveutor’s death, but turned up again in 1840 in a garret in Berlin and was purchased by a George Tiets, who took four years to put it in proper working order again. At the end of this time it was exhibited in a room in the Palais Royal, Paris, where Mr. Houdin, the celebrated conjuror, saw it, and, indeed, afterward, when something happened to one of its wings, took charge of and repaired iX No doubt it is still in ex- istence. O! @ ore modern automata this is scarcely t*.e place to speak, for they are private secrets. Let us confine onur- selves to merely mentioning Mr, Mas- kelyne’s ‘‘Psycho’’ and ‘‘Zoo.”’

Like most things, automata have not always been what they seemed. Of many frauds upon the wonder loving vublic perhans the completest was that

of the Yamous autonfatic chess player of | which was exhibited |

Mr. Kempelen, all cover Europe at the end of the last century and afterward in America. It was the figure of a life sized Turk seat- ed behind a large box, the top of which was marked in the middle for chess. Prior to the automaton’s meeting an opponent the front of the box was open ed and skeptical lookers on were shown an arrangement of strings, pulleys and cylinders. After this they were allowed to examine the interior of the figure, which was hollow. Then Mr. Kempe- len wound up his Turk with a key, and it was ready to play, which it did by moving the pieces with its left hand and giving three nods for check to king and two for check to queen. All the noted chess players of Europe succumb- ed to the figure’s superior strategy, and its skill so impressed the Nmpress Cath- erine Il of Russia that she wished to buy it 21d was witb difficulty persuad- ed by Mr. Kempelen to give up the idea. It was not for years that the secret was discovered; but, like most secrets, it leaked out at last. The real chess play- er was a Mr. Wronsky, a Polish ex-cap- tain, both of whose legs had been am- putated at the trunk in consequence of % wound from a cannon ball. While the spectators were examining the box Wronsky was in the Turk’s body, and

, when they turned to inspect that an in- genious mechanism slid him back into the box. To the fact that Wronsky was a chess player of consummate skill the wide fame of the automaton, which he secretly controlied, is to be attributed. After this disclosure Mr. Kempelen’s automaton naturally enough ceased to move mankind to wonder.—New York Post.
