the arm extends within the hollow axle, provided
with bookings, which greatly reduce the friction
compared to other axles. An interposed strip Of
rubber forming cushion, rests on top OF the ho-
low axle, upon which rests the axle-bed, thereby
breaking the conclusion when striking a stone
other object in the way, thus saving the vehicle
occupant any sudden wrench jar The rubber
cushion acts in breaking the conclusion the
principle the "gristle" in the Joints of a mans
arm in striking blow. The axle is very handsome
when finished, and is equally adapted to all road
vehicles Bugbey also exhibits Wible's newly
invented drawbridge, which does away with the
turn-table in use, and reduces the cost of draw
bridge building nearly one half. The bridge divides

fully 1t Is full of suggestion. But little thought
will be necessary to lead one to realization of the
reasons why woodenware, pails tubs, churns, kits,
frkins, etc. put up in this drv climate, are pecu-
liarly durable and rate above all others in the mar
ket. The firm holds in stock, beside the products of

In the lower hall is the Buhach display What is
it 1t is an insect destroyer, 1t is home product.
Buhaeh, the trade name, stands for plant ndigen-
Gus to Dalmatia 1t has been brought to California
and is growing here luxuriantly each season. The
Buhach Producing and Manufacturing Company OF
Stockton have 500 acres Of the plant under cultva.
tion in Merced county This company is composed
Of ]. d. Peters, A. c. PaulselI and G. n Milco
They have gone largely into the preparation Of the
plant for the market, and have succeeded. The de-
mand for the preparation Buhach exceeds already
the present manufacturing powers Of tho company;
but they will soon be equal to it. The powder made
from the plant injected into the air of room kills
all the flies and insects in it, and yet it is harmless

the stomach, though it Is not 10 be supposed any

Professor c. v. Riley, Chief of the United States
chronological Commission at Washington, certiies
that after long experimenting he found Bu-
bach to be the one thing needed to work the de-
struetion of the army wor aud he applies 1t mixed

This isa high and warm Endorsement, but there are
others of equal weight and Importance tina. might
be cited. In this place detail cannot be gone into.
