The Jumbo Of wheels.

The largest wheel of the kind ever
made in this country, and probably the
largest of any kind, is now in course of
construction at the machine shops of the
Dickinson Manufacturing Company at
Scranton, Pa 1t is what is called sand
wheel, and is being made for the Calumet
and Hecla Copper Company, of the
Lake Superior region. The great
wheel will be fifty-three feet
in diameter and several feet wide,
and the Dickson Manufacturing Company
viii get $40, 600 for it 1t is being built
around a twenty inch hollow shaft Of gun
metal, and will weigh from $50 to 100
tons when completed. When the great
wheel is put in place at the copper mines
it will be made to revolve slowly by
means Of enormous cogs on the surface
of its circumference. These cogs are
being cast in segments, and viii weigh
many tons in aggregate. On each
side Of the mammouth wheel there
will be fifty buckets, each Of
which will hold about 100 gallons, and
these buckets will elevate the washings
and dump them into sluiceway. After
the great wheel has been built up and
the finishing touches have been put on it
will be taken apart and shipped Every
piece will be numbered, so that there will
be no trouble in putting the wheels to-
gether, and it will take eight OF ten cars
to transports it.-Philadelphia ii. Record.

and down the post to the ground.
Another jumped the fence enclosing the
Delaware Bank and climed the fence in
the rear to the roof Of one story build
ing and then was able to enter one Of the

Toward IL 80 o'clock the crowd began'to
thin out and atI12 there were but twenty

we must close now until 2 o'clock" Mr..
Mckee also explained to the crowd that
the work must stop for time. The ap-
plicants left and the door was closed
