A New Kind of n Wheel.

1t is proposed to obviate, by means of a
simple arrangement, the jolts and jars and
vibrations common to vehicles when driven
over rough roads or street pavements when
ordinary wheels of rigid construction are
employed. Surrounding the outside Of the
periphery of the wheel, and in close con.
tact with the tire, are series of independ.
emit springs, which form the outer tread OF
the wheel; these springs are so arranged as
to work in conjunction with each other,
and when moving under heavy load their
free ends are sprung in toward the rim,
and coincide with the true or working peri.
phery of the wheel, the springs not coming
in contact with the plane until the spring
is nearly under the center of gravity.
In this way the spring resistance is used
in sustaining the load, and not in retard-
ing the movements of the wheel, the
springs, after passing the center of gravity,
exerting a force against the plane over
which they are passing to force the wheel
ahead, thus making, as it is claimed, a
wheel that is not only easy riding, but easy
propelling as well.-New York Sun.

Birds That Make Queer Noises.

The bellbird or campanere, which is
found in South America and also in AT.
RIGA, Waterton, the famous traveller and
naturalist, states, can be heard at a dis.
tance of three miles. It's note is like the
tolling of distant church bell, and is ut.
tered during the heat Of the day, when
every other bird has ceased to sing and ma.
ture is hushed and silent. How the bell
bird utters this deep, loud note is not
known, though it is supposed that a fleshy
protuberance on it's head, which when In.
fated with air stands up like horn, is in
some way the cause of it.
The hornbill, bird which is widely dis.
tributed in India, the Malay archipelago
and Africa, has also very loud note. Its
call has been described as between the
shrek of locomotive and the bray of q
donkey" and can be heard distance OF
about couple of miles. The barking bird
also utters q very loud note; indeed, it is
impossible to distinguish it from the bark
of dog. Its English name, says Darwin
is we'll given, for defy any one at first to
feel certain that small dog is not yelpine
somewhere in the forest. The Toucar has
also the same popularity.

Pedigrees of Arabian Horses.

The Arabs have no written pedigrees; it
is all an affair of memory and of notoriety
in the tribe. Certain alleged pedigrees OF
Arabian horses, couched in romantic Ian.
guage and represented as carried in a
small bag and hung by cord around the
animals neck, have been published, but
these are forgeries got up probably by
horse dealers, Egyptian, Syrian or Persian.
The breeding of every horse is a matter Of
common knowledge, and it would be i'm,
possible for his owner to fabricate pedi
gree so as to deceive the natives, even if he
were so inclined. The Bedouins, it seems
necessary to admit, are in general great
liars, and they will lie Ito "A strangely about
the age, the qualities or the ownership of a
horse. but they will not lie about his pedi.
gree, even when they can do so with i'm,
punity To be truthful on this subject is
almost matter Of religion, certainly a
point of honor, in the ert.-Atlantic

A Wonderful Air CITY.

Many stories have been written about
mirages and delusions, but none have been
more interesting and curious than that ol
the Silent City mirage, which makes its
appearance near the Pacific glacier il
Alaska. The discovery Of this wonderful
mirage was made by the Indians, who
would tell of the city which was built in
the clouds. The mirage can be seen in the
early part of July, from 8 to 6p. m. II
rises from the side of the Pacific glacier.
1t first appears like heavy mist and soon
becomes clearer, and one can distinctly SEQ
the specter city, well defined streets and
trees, tall spires, huge and odd shaped
buildings which appear to be ancient
mosques or cathedrals. 1t is city which
would seem to contain at least %, 900 or 80.
900 inhabitants.
AS yet no one has been able to identify
it, although several have claimed to recog-
nize the place. There is no city like it in
Alaska, nor in any country about it for
thousands of miles. Some claim it is d
city in Russia, others say it is n city in
England, but none can tell where and
what it is. The mirage was given the
name of "Silent City," as it appears to one
like dead city; there is nothing that
would indicate it is inhabited lineage

The Practice of borrowing Books.

The practice of borrowing books is es.
sentially an evil one in those who can
afford to own books, and public libraries
serve to encourage and foster the evil,
though they are of very great value to the
poor student We think that upon general
principles people should own the books
they read. We believe heartily in buying
books, reading books and keeping books,
but not in. borrowing books. AS refer.
ence public library serves an admirable
purpose, and in many instances it is of un.
doubted advantage to the people. But one
who would be surely profited by books
should own them if he can and should
have them for companions continually
about him.-Chicago News.

Women Not All Alike.

One Of the constitutional opinions of the
average man is that women are all alike
1t crops out in his speech perpetually,
sometimes in the way of kindness and sym
pathy, oftener in the way of derision and
contempt. When wife has forgiven some
great wrong done her by her husband,
when mother las sacrificed herself fol-
her children, we hear at is just like a
woman" We hear the same thing if she
has deceived ner lover or involved hel
father in debt, This dissent is due to the
fact that some men are sentimentalists,
and that more men are cynics. The former
are always praising woman, the latter ara
generally sneering at or decrying her; but
both think that she has only one nature.
The sentimentalist believes her to be good,
gentle, loyal, truthful under every circum-
stance; the cynic pronounces her bad,
harsh, inconstant, hypocritical on instinct.
Neither is wholly right nor wholly
wrong. She is good and bad, gentle and
harsh, loyal and inconstant, truthful and
hypocritical. Her qualities depend largely
on the individual, and the individual
varies with mood and environment. She is
not cut out of the IDEAL nor is she drawn
from debasement. She is primarily human,
as man is; compound of brain and body,
of strength and weakness, of generosity
and selfshness, of charity and prejudice,
of altruism and egotism, of affection and
aversion. Some women are far better,
some women are far worse than the mass,
but better or worse, they are fundament.
ally unlike one another and often unlike

Character in the Handshal.e.

form my estimate of a man the moment
1 shake hands with him. If he frankly
gives me his whole hand and with it cor.
dial grip, at the same time looking me
fully in the eyes, would not hesitate to
lend him money or appeal to him for aid il
/ was in trouble. Men who shake hands
that way usually mean what they say.
They are manly men, big hearted, brave,
brotherly and will do to bank on. The
man who reaches out his hand as though
the exertion worried him, and let's it lie in
your grasp like the flipper of a defunct cat
fish, is the kind of creature who sits up
nights to plot petty treasons. The man
who shakes hands with three fingers would
steal from himself if he knew how.
Whenever l reach out my hand and find
that it has closed down on three fishy
fingers l instinctively look to see if my
purse is safe. The man who grabs your
hand and pumps your arm up and down as
though it was the handle to hand car is
usually well meaning fellow, but is sci.
dom troubled with a plethora of brains.
The ladies also reveal themselves in the
handshake. There is no danger of mis-
taking the shy yet magnetic touch of ma
tive modesty for the icy salute of unfeeling
formality. No woman who shakes hands
as she might touch q dead mouse ever
played much havoc with masculine hearts.

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 21.-Juan
Morelas, a prominent ranchman of
Zapata county in which it is reported
a band of 100 Mexican revolutionists
are gathered under the leadership o
Julian Flores, arrived here today. He
states that the sensational rumor is
unfounded. 1t grew out of tine fact
that at fiesta given few miles
above Cassizo in celebration of MeXi-

number of Mexicans came for a social
enjoyment. Many of them were ar
rested, as is the custom in the border
country, and the report was sent to
the federal troops at Fort Mcintosh
that they were CARA men, bent on
making a raid into Mexico. When
the fiestus were over the men pro-
ceeded to their homes, where they can
be found today cultivating the late
corn crop, which is very promising
and raising stock. The troops and

revolutionists, but Mr.. Morelas thinks
they will not be successful in finding

1t is sometimes supposed by persons i'm
perfectly informed in mechanics that a
long screwdriver gives greater leverage
than a short one. This. however, is incor.
rect. The action of a screwdriver, the
pressure on which is direct, is not in any
way analogous to that Of lever. The
superiority of long screwdriver rests
simply on two facts-frst, you can gener-
ally get a better grip of long screwdriver
than of short one and can bring the whole
weight of the body and strength of the
arms to bear on it, and second, the torsion
of the iron in a long screwdriver comes in
to supplement the force employed The
only way in which leverage can come in is
in connection with the breadth of the point
of the screwdriver, and even this counts
for nothing beyond the breadth of the head
of the crew.-Brooklyn Eagle.

The dainty blush of the pink shells glow;

Roses as pure as young maiden's dream;
Roses cream tinted as foam on the sea;

Starry eyed roses drenched with the dew;

MRS. HARRISON AT HOME.
She Stood the Trip Without Fatigue and is
Resting Easily.

Resting Easily.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The spec
ial train bearing Mrs. Harrison reach
ed here at S:45 a. m. She stood the
journey very well. AS the train
stopped the president emerged and
jumping down on the platform and
took look at the ambulance arrange
ments and expressed himself as en-
tirely satisfied. A minute later the
stretcher was gently brought cut of
the car and upon it was Mrs. Harri-
SOD, covered by a white sheet and
holding fan over her face. She was
at once removed to the White House,
and thirty minutes later she was rest
ing easy in her bed at the White
house. Her mind is much relieved
by reching "home," for which she
has been longing throughout the past
several weeks. Her physician, DIR.
Garder, reports that she stood the
trip very we'll and that her spirits
were much buoyed up by reaching
Washington, which he thinks will be
greatly in her favor. The president
seemed more affected, and his eyes are
red from weeping and the dark lines
under them told the tale of his deep
distress and sleepless nights spent at
the bedside of his wife.
