WIDE WAGON TIRES.
A Bulletin Issued by the Agri-
cultural Department on the
Subject.

The Agricultural Department has is
sued bulletin, complied by Roy
Stone, special agent in charge of road
inquiry, containing information con-
corning the use of wide tires on wagon
wheels. Mr.. Stone regards it of espec-
ial importance in the maintenance of
the public highways that the vehicles
used on them shall have tires of greater
width than are now in general use.
Extracts from the State Laws respect
lug the width of,tires 10 be used on We
hlces are given, some of which offer II
I, bate of Il portion of the highway tax
on wagons with rims or tires not less
than three aud thee and one-half
inches in width. Ono makes it unlaw-
ful To transport over macadamized,
gravel or stone roads IN any vehicle
having tire less than three inches in
width burden or more than 1000
pounds. Indiana HAS "a law against
hauling OH "a wet gravel road load of
over 1000 pounds on Il narrow-tired
wagon OF over 300 pounds Oh Il broad
J ulcd wagon.
Kentucky makes distinction in
favor of broad-lired wagons III fixing
toll rdtcs. The results 0f experiments
with wide tires in various States are
also gwen. From tue limestone quar-
ry at Spit Rock to the works of the
reducing company in Geddes, Ouon-
daga County, New York, Is about four
and IA hall miles. Three or four years
ago the work OF improving thIs stretch
OF road was accomplished. Rough
quarry refuse and for part of the dts
lance, Held stones were used, all hand
broken t. two and thleelncn sizes.
This was covered with fine, uAsitled
quarry chips, ana Il crown was gwen
u the roadway with an elevation of
about SIX Inches III Il width oi sixteen
feet. Wagons with tires of different
degrees OF width, some of them as
much DIS six Inches vile, were uuIit for
hauling stone over THIS road. Their
constant USE has produced smooth,
compact and regular surface between
tie quarry and the works. Loads of
stone, varying from 5000 To 5000
pounds, are continually hauled over
this road, with no peiceptiule wear.
The cost OF hauling has been reduced.
Experiments III other states are also
referred 10 and the opinion expressed
That wide tires are not only lIgnter in
| their graft than narrower ones under
nearly all conditions, but they cut up
roads very little; in fact, when SIX
Inches wlue, Tend to make the ruau
! better continually.
Inc bulletin concludes by printing
extracts from the consular report, con-
cernlug the width of tires prescribed
/ III Various foreign countries. In
/ FranCe every treIghtiny and mark, (

/ tires are from three To ten Inches IN
width, usually from four To SIX. The
German law of April l6, 1910, pre-
scrlOes that wagons for heavy loads,
such as coal, brick, earth ana stone,
must have width of lire at least four
lnches. Switzerland .equires wagons
to be prov idtd with heels having
tires of II width propolt ional to the lar

POWER OF A STORM.
Greater Than the Combined Horse Power
OF the " hole World.

Greater Than the Combined Horse Power
OF the Whole World.
A noted French scientist, ii. Mohn,
made careful estimate of the energy
expended in the passage of a notable
West India cyclone, which lasted three
days and nights, and the conclusion
reached was that the force developed
was fully equal to AS 900, 000-horse
power, or at least fifteen times the
power that is produced, In the same
space of time, by all the windmills, tur-
bines, steam engines, and all the men
and animals on the surface of the globe.
whence comes this latent force?" he
asks, and the answer is: From the
latent heat of vapor which rises in the
center of the hurricane and is there
condensed Applying this method of
computation to mid-continent cyclonic
movements with which the people of
this region are familiar, some most as
tonishing results will be reached. Sup
pose, for illustration, says the Midland
Monthly, a storm is developed of suffi-
Gent extent and force to yield to the
state of Iowa an average of one inch of
rainfall. 70 produce this, the area
covered by the low" in its movement
across the valley must be from three to
five times the extent of the area of
precipitation, for it should be known
that to obtain even a moderate amount
of moisture you must milk wide ex-
panse of sky. On the average the area
of rainfall in this portion of the CONT
nent does not exceed one-ffth of the
territory covered by the cyclone. All
parts of this area feel the effects of the
passing storm, but only a fraction
thereof receives benefit of the rainfall.
There is a vast sweep in the circulation
of winds employed in the work of
wringing out purely local shower.
And the sum total of energy employed in
the production of rainfall to the extent
herein described would be more than
equal to the motive power required to
operate all the machinery of the world
for an equal length of time.

A NEAT EXPERIMENT.
1t Shows How Carbonic Acid Gas Ex-
tiDguishes Combustion.


Carbonic acid gas is much heavier
than the air, and it extinguishes COM
bustion. The experiment described be-
low is intended to demonstrate these
two facts. Construct a siphon of paper
in the following manner: Wind sew
eral times around fiat ruler a strip of
paper which has been spread with mu-
cilage. Draw out the ruler and let
the pipe which you have thus obtained
dry thoroughly. Next cut two oblique
notches in the pine and join the frag-
ments thus obtained by means of little
bands of paper carefully gummed on.
You will then have constructed ST.

about three times as long as the other.

Tho Ewes OF the Bee.

Every bee has two kinds of eyes-the
two large, compound ones, looking like
hemispheres on either side, and the
three simple or single eyes, which
crown the head. Each compound eye
las one would naturally suppose from
the term which designates it,, is really
an immense aggregation of eyes, each
being composed of $500 facets, which
means that every object seen has its
image reflected $500 times in the bees
tiny brain. Every one of these facets
is the base of an inverted hexagonal
pyramid, whose apex is fitted snugly to
the head. Each of these pyramid facets
may be termed u perfect eye, for each
has its own iris and optic nerve. Won.
derful, indeed, is nature.

The new method of extracting gold
from ore. an Improvement on the cyan
ide process in thoroughness and saving
of time. was discovered by Mr. H. l..
Sulman. He has obtained the bromide
of cyanogen, which, when added to the
weak cyanide solution now in use, pro-
duces the compound now obtained
slowly by the addition of oxygen. The
compound is then treated with zinc
fumes, instead of zinc shavings, and the
gold falls at once in thick powder
This process does in As hours work that
required previously fortnight. BY
adding soap and lime in the slime from
the ore, which previously went to waste,
though it forms IS per cent. of the
mass, it can be treated for gold in the
same way as the other parts of ore sub
jected to chemical action
