TEN MILLION CAR WHEELs.-"There are
more than 100000 iron Car wheels in use
on American railroads." said the master
mechanic of one Of the trunk lines, "and it
REQUIRES about 525 pounds of pig iron to
make one wheel. About ,250,0O0 wheels
are worn out every year, and the same
number ofnew ones must be made to take
their places The iron men are called upon
for only small proportion of the 312,5Oo
tons of material required for these new
wheels however, for nearly 200, 900 tons are
supplied by the worn out wheels themselves.
Formerly the life of car wheel was estl-
mated at eight years, but the reduction OF
the railroads generally to the standard gauge,
and the in loading and unload
ing facilities, have materially decreased the
length of service that wheel may be de-
pended on to perform. The uniformity IN
guage keeps cars in more continuous use,
while the decrease in time Of loading ana
unloading enables them to be put to more
active service even where they are run only
on short local routes. These figures do not
include the wheels on palace coaches anu
the better class of passenger coaches. Inc
wheels on that grade of rolling stock are
now made almost exclusively of paper.
They are as serviceable as iron, and com
bine Iichtness with strength, great desid-
eratum where speed and economy IN motive
mower are now Of paramount Importance.

A Clever Oriental Trick,

By the way no miracle claimed for Nine
Blayatsky, the Theasophist, is more marvel
lOus than one | saw performed by conjurer
in Calcutta Let me premise that Western
reporters of Oriental jugglery are apt to
Orientalize their statements remarkably.
The mango growing out of floor or deck
is a poor trick; the rope ladder thrown into
the air and staying there for people to climb
up, is unknown in India, as are some other
marvels Your readers will be fairly JUST
tied in suspecting similar Oriental large
ness in the following: A man brought out
a dozen or more little figures, under two
inches high-little dolls-and, setting them
on their straw-hke legs on deal table, babe
them dance. The man stood quite yard
off but whenever he babe the figures move,
they moved. He ordered two to come out
and waltz in the centre of the table and
they did so. The tiny things trooped up
and down the table as he commanded, in
the most amazing way. Finally the con-
iurer invited me to law penny on the Ia
bic and the coin Instantly galloped across
the wooden table and pitched itself in
money-bOx. And vet this man was not a
nor Theosopbist, but an
ayowed conjurer, performing in tent on
the wayside. VI. ID. Conway.
