IT IS PROPOSED to obviate, by means of a
simple arrangement the jolts and jars and vi
brations common TO vehicles when driven over
rough roads or street pavements when ordinary
wheels Of rigid construction are employsd saw q
the New York Sun. Surrounding the outside
OF the periphery of the wheel and in close con
tact with the tire are a series of independent
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 aud coincide with the
true working periphery of the wheel the

THE imperial yacht Kaiser Adler, on which
the emperor made the voyage from Wilhelms-
haven to Cowes, attracts much attention
Among her decorations are many paintings by
the emperor and Prince Henry. Toe entire
furniture Of the vessel is Of the simplest descrip-
ton. The emperor's study is filled with works
OF reference, and with piles of English, French
and Gtrman newspapers, and upon the table
lies copy OF Emile Zola's latest novel, La
Debacle. The dining room is very simply
furnished. There 8 a piano, and portraits of
the empress and her sons. Across the room is
phuGl pOTLTdlL OF HTlQC6 BISMARCK and
photograph of Count Won Motke In one of the
parlors is a tablet inscribed: Count Won
MoltSe once occupied this room" During his
present trD on the yacht the emperor rises
each day at O'Clock. He takes a cold bath,
after which he eats a light breakfast His
majesty then receives reports, after which he
devotes couple OF hours to work. second
breakfast is then served, to which the officers
OF the Kaiser Adler are hidden In rotation After
taking exercise in the shape OF vigorous walks
ABOUT the dechs, his majesty retires to his study
and spends the rest of the afternoon In WORK
At O'Clock dinner is served.
THE IDEAS Of the native Australian concern

Darling formerly believed that death was but
protracted sleep, and that sooner or later there
would come an awakening when all old habits
would De taken up and fevoTite pastimoS re-

transformation was to take place. The Chris

his makeup during childhood, has no difficulty

.hough the moon is 240,00 miles distant from
the earth. NJ. Deloncle thinks he can construct
an apparatus which will enable US to examin
that luminary at very close quarters The idea
has been expounded by the author before
French scientific society. and NJ Deloncle SAYS
IN substance, that the only obstacle to C ose
observation OF celestial bodies is the relative
imperfection Of Instruments, aad that all that is
required is an enlargement and improvement OF
the present instruments. Astronomers, says
Nj. Deloncle, have reckonCd that the image
of the mo N can be brought quite close to the
earth by means of a crystal mirror eight
meters in diameter, but which, owing 10 the
thickness required. would weigh about
eight tons. He mas consulted vari Jus opticians
in Paris, and they are prepared TO execute the
work before the year 1900. There remains
however, the question of the structure which
would be required to hold this gigantic mirror
and upon this point NJ. Maurice Loewy a dis
tingulsned French astronomer says that while
in principle NJ Deloncle's scheme is possible

realization the chief of which, so far as the exit
btion is concerned, is that the apparatus must
be erected on a mountain about two miles in
hight in order to secure the proper atmos-
pheric conditions. II this and other difficulties
were surmounted, says NJ. Loewy, there would
be some Y, ~ remarkable results, for il would

make one entire trip through the system, which
all students OF physiology know means a con-
pete circulation through the lungs veins ar
teries and the general capillary arrangements.
Profs. Dalton, Herring, Poissenillr, Mattucc and
Blake have been the chief Investigators IN this
line, the first named having become more emi-
nent IN TINS particular branch of research from
having the experience of others to fortify him
self with. All the odschool anatomi>ts be-
lieved that considerable time elapsed, say
from three to nine minutes, from the time
when the blood left the right side of the heart
traversed the whole system and then
again returned TO the starting point Dial
ton has shown that the time Is much
shorter than was formerly generally sup-
posed. The chief agent used in his experiments
was salt known to chemists as ferrocyanide
or potassium. which can BE- readily detected In
the blood on account OF its chemical reactions
Prof. Dalton describes the operation in the fol-
lowing language: BLOOD was drawn from the
juguar vein of the opposite SIDE and The inter
val which elapsed before the appearance of the
foreign salt in blood drawn from the second
opening indicated the time required for the
blood 70 pass from the point of injection
through the vena cave to the heart from the
right side OF the heart through the lungs to the
left cavities from the left ventricle through the
carotid arteries and the capillary vessels of the
head, and thence downward to the jugular vein

ulated tests of this somewhat extraordinary
