WHEELS.

70 make wheel seems easy enough;
especially to people who know nothing
about it. Just take round block with a
hole in It for the hub; fix up some sticks
6or spokes; knock some roundish bits
together for the rim; fasten the whole
thing and put tire around it, and your
wheel Is made.
Well, with such process, you might
make sort Of . wheel, and that il much
the way that some Of the old-fashioned
wheelwrights did.
But now the making Of wheels is a
gigantic and weIl-ordered industry, just as
d the making of watches. A newspaper
correspondent went, the other day, to the
great factory Of the New Haven Wheel Go.
where the wheels are made. For forty years
this immense concern has been putting its
whole energy on wheels. Every kind Of
wheel. from the slender and delicate look
ing sulky wheel, to the stout and heavy
wheels on which the big fre-engine is

the principal men in this factory, both Of
whom had been afflicted with rheumatism.
Mr.. NJ. j. Brown, who manages some Of
the important wood-cltting machinery,
when asked about his rheumatism replied:
