sULKY WITH PNEUMATIC WHEELS

pneumatic-t tired wheels fitted to the
old frames, for the sun has surely set
upon the day of the old wooden wheel
with it's iron tire. About two weeks
ago we fitted out Mr.. Gerome's sulky
with the 'blown-up' tires and trial
on the Washington Park track had
the effect to send other turfmen to
me for a similar equipment.
cit is the revolution OF the trOtting
race and record" said the carriage
builder, "and when [ sat in the grand
stand and watched Nancy Hanks go
around the curves with the wheels of
the sulky following as accurately as
if they were running in grooves, /
knew that there was record in those
wheels
If | had been in the sulky bust
with the bicycle wheels / should
have taken summary steps to patent
complete sulky with frame and
wheels specially built, and had a
caveat in work before an hour had
elapsed"
The pneumatic-tired sulky follows
the horse around the curves without
the slightest tendency toward skid
ding" and although it looks queer,
the drivers say that the usual sliding
and creaking of wheel parts is en-
tirely absent, and the long-endured
jar has gone away to be hung up with
the wooden wheels on a peg in the
paddock.
The bicycle riders are feeling badly
in one sense and jubilant in another.
They are now five and three-fourths
seconds short of the horse record,
toward which they have been striding
for years, but they are entitled to the

credit of making the pneu-
matte wheels and presenting them
to their rivals, the horse men,
thus helping to defeat themselves.
The bicycle record has gone down one
minute and forty-two seconds, while
the horse record has been improved
only eight seconds. The improve
ment of bicycle mechanism has, how
ever, been largely instrumental in the
marvellous improvement of speed, and
yet, under the same conditions, with
the pneumatic tire, in two years 2:2O
has given place to 2:11.
The original adoption of the bicycle
wheels to the sulky frame was by
Sterling Elliott, the maker of hickory
BICYCLES at Newton, Mass. The regu-
lation steel bicycle wheel is, however,
perfectly adapted to the purpose.

IT is given as a reason why West
ern steers 50 frequently run wild
races through the streets Of New
York that they are not properly
watered during their long journeys
to the East; hence are really mad
with thirst. If this is so, it shows
what a grave danger is threatening
the unconscious public; for, aside
from the incidental risk to property
and life involved in the street es-
capades, it is evident that the flesh
of animals fevered to madness is
capably of doing terrible mischief
when used as food. The humane
transportation Of cattle is one thus
closely connected with the public
welfare, and laws for its observance
ought to be strictly enforced.

A Peculiar Disease

When a horse is brought into the
high attitudes Of the Andes the blood
starts from his mouth. ears. and
nose, and men are often affected in
the same way. The disease is known
as "slrrochc" and sometimes is fatal.
The natives having been born and
bred at this great elevation, are no
more affected by the rarity of the
atmosphere than the negroes of the
Brazilian swamps are by the heat.

A Diamond Hole

The diamond is brilliant thing,
but the place it comes from is dismal
enough. A traveller recently from
South Africa gives an account of the
crowds Of the diamond seekers who
poured in after the first discovery.
The mine is situated in the midst of
a plateau. high, wide, and barren,
and consists Of nothing more than
"an enormous hole nine acres in ex-
tent" This hole is about four hun
dred feet deep, and visitors seldom de-
scend into it on account of the dirt
and dagger. 1t is from this disagree
able aperture that the gems are
brought which glitter and sparkle u, :

A New Kind of Fancy Leather.

A new kind of fancy leather, re-
ported to be obtained by tanning the
stomachs of animals, is described by
the Boston Journal of Commerce. 1t
is prepared from the same material
from which tripe is prepared. 1t
makes handsome leather for pocket
books, bags and fancy articles. and
can be dyed in any color. Only the
inner Membrane is used. The heavy
integument is split off, leaving d
moderately thin and coarse-f1bered
leather and soft as chamois. There
is a great variety Of grain and pattern
in the same piece of the leather, and
much of it is too plain to admit of
using it in large articles with the
best effect, but excellent results can
be obtained by matching opposite
spots of the skin, If skin it can be
called. The part known as the
"honeycomb" makes a particularly
rich appearance when dyed and pol
ished. 1t is much more effective than
alligator or lizard skin, and much
softer and more easily worked into
irregular forms. Another part has
the appearance of being covered with
jet beads when dyed black and pol
ished. Any part of the material will
keep people guessing what it is made
from, and that is part of the pleasure
of owning any novelty. The inventor
or discoverer of this new leather says
that he can get from twelve tC fif-
teen feet from an animal.

Electricity and Insurance.

G. Binswaager, managing directs
Of the General Electric CompanI
of England, expresses surprise that fVs
insurance companies IN America are s.:
disturbed by the increased fire losse;
said to be due to electricity that they
contemplate charging special premium
for buildings in which electricity ID
used. In England, he says, the ez1
perience has been exactly the OPPOSITE
and there is decided tendency to re
duce premiums on buildings when
electrical plants or apparatus are ir|
stalled. The Phoenix Fire Insurane
Office, which covers the greater part of
electrical risks in England, has not yell
paid cent for any loss which could BIZ
traced to electricity, and no such fN|
has as yet occurred in England. Nh
Binswanger thinks this state of afan
is due to two things: First, a set q
simple and practical fire rules, which
are accepted as standards; second, tbs|
rigid enforcement of these rules under
the supervision of one inspector, who's
authority is recognized by manufad
urers and the insurance companies

 Volume XXVII. of this valuable work has come to hand. Its general characteristics are the same as those of it's predecessors, and we are pleased to note that the high standard which they had reached is fully maintained. Indeed. if there is any change in its quality the work grows better as it ap- breaches completion. some idea of it's iullness may be gained from the fact that this volume (of some 800 pageSl covers only about half of the topics commencing with the letter S-tne first title being San Mateo; the last, Sinclair. Within these limits will be found a large number of subjects of great interest to people of diverse oc. equations and professions. The me chanic will lind articles on the saw, sewing machines and machines and screw propeller, while the farmer and livestock owner will naturally turn to those on scab. seed, sheep, shepherd 5 dog and shrubberies. Among the med- ical pics will be found 9carlatina, scrivener's palsy, scrofula, scurvy and sea sickness. Of legal subjects we name seal, search warrant and sheriff: and in the religious line we find Savoy confession, Scotland church oOseperate Latherans, Seyenth-Day Adventists. Shakers, sheOl, sin and sincere breth- ren. In this volume will be found a description of a large number of coun- tries and of many cities and towns in this and in other lands. Among these may be named San Salvador, Santa Fe, Saragossa, Saratoga Springs, Sayan- nah, Savoy, Saxony, Scotland, Scran ton, Seattle, Sebastopol, Senegambia, Servia, Shetland, Siam, Siberia and Sicily. In the line of biography this volume is also remarkably full and in terestiDg, as will be seen from the fact that it contians sketches of Generals Schenck, Schoheld, Sheridan and Sigel; of many great literary characters, in- cluding Sappho, Sardou, Scaliger, ScheIling, Schiller, Schlegel, Schleier- macher, Schweger, Sir Walter Scott, Shakespeare, Shelley and Sheridan of Savonarola. the reformer; of SartO, the painter; of Schiliemann, tEe arch9olo- gist; of Schubert and of Schuman, the musical composer; of Siddons, the ae- tress; of Silliman, the scientist; of Simpson, the bishop; of Sims, the sur geon, and of Seward. Seymour and Sherman among the statesmen. There are also sketches of a great number of OlBtE ultu anu NOIltH WuO nave Dc- come famous in these and in various other lines. Then, too, the volume contains great number of topics on d wide range of subjects which fall into the line of general information
 Among these will be found saving banks: Saqons, Scandinavian mytholU- gy, science, Scottish music, sculpture, senate, Septembrists, sewerage, Shay's reDelliOu, shoes and shoe manufacture, shorthand. silk and silver. There are many helpful illustrations and the work is good pronouncing and de- fining dictionary as well as the best of the eyclopedas. It is sold by sub scription and on easy terms.
