RUBBER TIRES.

balances.


balances.
Among the most important sugges-
tons in the line of the use of rubber
tires, the recommendation that the
wheels of the ambulance be equipped
with them is of infinite interest to ev--
cry humanitarian.
The ambulance, as is well under
stood, is one of the heaviest vehicles of
it's kind in the world. The enormous
weight has been thought necessary in
order that the running gear may be
able to withstand the tremendous.
strain put upon it by being whirled
through all sorts of streets and around
all manner of short curves.
An ordinary vehicle would be wrecked
in a short time. Although the wheels
and steel tires are extremely heavy, it
it is not unusual for pieces to be cut
out of tires, and in large cities the am
balances are almost constantly in need
of repairs.
The weight of an ordinary ambu--
lance, when unoccupied, is nearly
nineteen hundred pounds. This, with
the driver, physicians and patient,
will, it is easy to see, require not only
the very best material, but a large.
amount of it in order to be safe, as it
enters on what is frequently a race be-
tween life and death.
With the advent of the rubber tires
these vehicles may be made very much
lighter, as the rubber cushions pre-
serve the wheels from the frightful
Earring that they now experience. The
benefit to the patient is incalculable-
as it removes one of the dangers to.
which persons with severed arteries
are exposed. The banging and tossing
about that are almost unavoidable
sometimes break the ligatures and the
patient might easily bleed to death
before help could be obtained.
1t is said that an ambulance with an
improved rubber tire can be made with
weight of less than twelve hundred
pounds, and the Importance of this in
all respects it is easy to see. The one
obstacle just now is the fitting of suit
able tires, the pneumatic sometimes
bursting under the tremendous strain,
while the solid ones are liable to be-
torn from the wheels by the rough
pavements. But once started on this
line, the practical and successful rub
Der tire for ambulances is thing that
is bound to come.-N. Y. Ledger.

The cigar case bearer in western New
York is the subject of bulletin issued
from the Cornell university station.
Professor Slingerland believes that this
cigar case bearer can be kept in check
by two or three thorough sprayings with
paris green, one pound to 900 gallons
of water. The first application, which
may be effectively combined with the
bordeaux mixture then to be used for
the apple scab funsus, should be made
as soon as the little cases are seen on
the opening buds. A second and perhaps
third application may be necessary st
intervals Of four to seven days on badly
infested trees. These sprayings will also
check the bud moth.
Furthermore, it has been experiment
tally demonstrated in Canada thsta kero-
sene emulsion spray applied at the same
time as directed above for paris green
still more effectively checks the case
bearer, and we believe it would act like
wise on the bud moth. In pear orchards
both this case bearer and the pear psylla
can be effectively checked by the same
emulsion spray when the leaves are
opening in the spring.

doubt She can throw 500 pounds of dy
Mantle from one and one-half to two
miles, with practically the same accuracy
that a shot can be fired from the best
breech loading cannon. 1t is not necessary
to hit with the dynamite to destroy, for
with the time fuse the electrical fuse and
the percussion fuse-with all these at

tically an aerial torpedo. If it strikes
