Pneumatic Tires.

Most people imagine that pneumatic tires are novelties of recent invention, and yet they were actually used on Eng fish roads nearly 30 years ago. Wo read that "at the Bath and west of England agricultural show, held at Guilford, a couple of carriage wheels were shown fitted with pneumatic tires. These were made by May & Jacobs for the Duke of Northumberland AT years ago, but the carriage proving too heavy for the horse they were disused. The tires were con structed on almost exactly the same principle as those in use on cycles today -an inner air chamber, with stronger outer cover. When punctured, they were repaired by tho same means as now adopted. "--Hardware.

Dingbats.

The Boston Journal gives various theories as to tho meaning of the word "dingbats. " One writer who spent his boyhood in Maine thinks 1t means to spank, because his mother when getting ready to use the slipper threatened to put the "dingbats" on him. From Will barham academy comes tho explanation that it means the breakfast biscuit, which the students dispose of by stick ing it to tho under side of tho table, throwing 1t at the heads of other stu dents or eating it. A Connecticut pupil states that to receive punishment at the hands of the teacher is known as ''get- ting the dingbats. !" Two Philadel- phians agreed that 1t means money, as in the sentence, "I've got tho dingbats for it.. But New Hampshire agrees with Maine that it means spanking, and so the majority appears to side with the maternal slipper. It is from such little acorns" that the tall tree of our almost cosmopolitan language has grown. We got blizzard from the west, "kuklux" from the south, bloom" from the ambitious cities, ''crank" from the eccentric minds in every part of tho country, "pantata" from Italy, "chalitza" from Russia. Dingbats is going to be a great convenience.

PROTECTION OF IRON COLUMNS.
Bricks Tn Portland Cement Successfully
 Withstand Fire.


 Withstand Fire.
 Somo experiments were recently made by tho building inspection department, Vienna, OH the protection of iron from fire by casing it with brick. A wrought iron column l2 feet long and built of two channels connected by lattice bars was used. This was set up in q small chamber constructed of brick, and tho column was loaded by levers. This done, it was surrounded by is inch brick wall laid in fro clay mortar. The wall did not fit closely around the col umn, and advantage was taken of this to fix there samples of fusible metals which should serve as gauge of the temperature attained.
 Various samples of stone concrete and other materials were also placed in the chamber within the column. This cham Der was then filled with split firewood, which was lighted. and tho doors im- mediately walled up with slabs of plas. ter of paris. After tho fire had broken out tho doors were broken in and a stream of water turned into the room from q l4 horsepower fire engine An examination of tho room next showed that tho walls of brick, laid in portland cement, retained their strength, while most of the material stone left in the chamber had been destroyed. The cell ing had been linod partly with plaster of paris and partly with terra cotta tiles. Both were damaged. The incIo- suro around the iron pillars was still standing firm, though corners of the brickwork were clipped one inch or so and the fire clay mortar was largely washed out of the joints. On removing the casing, however. the pillar was found to be uninjured, even tho paint being unsoorehed, and the fusible plugs only showed temperature of 149 dc. grees F. F.-Engineering.

were passengers, gives an interesting
recital OF the affair. Mr.. Ingalls, was on

eaa City with his theatrical company to
FIJI an engagement. The ex-senator had
been admiring Sullivan's physique, and
upon learning his identity, i'm mediately
evinced great interest and desired to
meet him. Ralph Ingalls, soon con-
trived to bring the two famous men to-
gether. They clasped hands and in
dulged in o hearty shake.
II am pleased to meet you, Mr.. Sulli-

much of you and admired your remark

ut affords me great pleasure TO meet

Mr.. Ingalls, said he would like to feel
OF Mr.. Sullivan's strong right arm
which had put many opponanta to sleep.
and hoped Mr.. Sullivan would not take
offsnse or consider him forward or ira

Mr.. Sullivan declared it would afford
him great pleasure, and Immediately

felt OF the arm for a moment. He then
stepped back few feet and gazsd rap-
turously upon the great expanse of
Ghost and shoulders. after which he felt
OF Mr.. Sullivan's hand. After finishing
his inspection, Mr.. ingalls, exclaimed:

without thu Time Limit Amendment the
Senate Ratifes 1t.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The senate
went into executive session at O'Clock
today to consider the Japanese treaty,
AHd the debate was immediately taken
anywhere it was lett off when the sub
ject was last under considera-
tion 10 days ago. There was a
running debate in which almost
the entire senate participated and u
soon became evident the senators who
had objected to the treaty in it's plat
form would continue to urge them
until the treaty should be amended
pr ratified over their objection. The
session continued two hours and re-
suited in the ratification of the treaty
with an amendment striking out the
time limit. The treaty, as presented to
the senate provides that it should go
into effect after five years. and that after
remaining in effect for 10 years
it could be abrogstsd by either
party to it after years notice.
Senator Lindsay offered an amendment
striking out the 10 years. provision as
substitute for Senator Frye's amend
ment, which was directed at preserving
the American right to impose diseyimi-
mating duties in case of goods carried in
American ships. The amendment was

THIRTY-THRgE FEET AT A BOUND.
The Tremendous Leap Made by a Hungr
wildcat After His Breakfast.

The Tremendous Leap Made by a Hungry
Wildcat After His Breakfast.
The wonderful power of wildcat is
shown in its ability to leap long dis
tances. All of the cat tribe have i'm
mense power in their legs, and they
make up in the length Of their spring
their inability to make a continued
chase. African leopards in captivity
have been known to leap from the floor
of the cages and strike the top ~ feet
above. Tigers make tremendous leaps
and strike down on their prey with q
blow of their powerful paws as they
alight But the wildcat, for its size, is
probably the most wonderful jumper Of
all the felines.
A hunter who is we'll known for his
veracity recently told the following
story Of an adventure which illustrates
this power:
81 was hunting in the snow and came
across the track of a wildcat, which
followed for long distance. Suddenly
the tracks came to an end in a spot
where the animal had crouched. Hook
ed around to see what had become of
the trail, and away head of me saw a
bunch of blood and feathers. From that
spot the track led on again off into
swamp. The situation was susceptible
to but one xplanation-the wildcat
had been hunting for his dinner and
had discovered a pheasant wandering
about in the snow. The cat crept as
close as he dared to the unsuspecting
bird and gathered himself into an ami
mated spiral spring, such as the cat
tribe coil themselves into when prepar-
ing to spring, and releasing the trigger
shot into the air, landing on top of the
victim before the bird, quick as pleas
ants usually are, could evade the stroke.
The distance from where the cat crouch
ed to where it canght the bird was just
3S feet I naturally supposed from the
length of the leap that the cat was
young and in full activity, but after l
trailed it to the swamp and shot it l
discovered that it was old and almost
toothless. The animals hunger may
have spurred him to the great jump. If
not, and the leap was an evidence of
what superannuated wildcat can do,
wouldn't be surprised to learn that
young and active wildcat could clear
at least twice that distance when press
ed by necessity. "--Boston Journal.
