and run on ball bearings.
The front wheels turn on their own
pivot located in the hub, The axle be-
ing firmly held by the side bars. The
lever in front wholly CONTROLS the
carriage. The lateral movement turns
the wheels, the vertical motion starts
and stops the vehicle, changes its rate
of speed and also reverses its move
ment, driving it backward when de-
sired. The lever connections all have
ball joints, which can never become
loose and cause lost motion. A brake
drum of peculiar construction is placed
under the seat and connected with q
thumb button located at the front
corner Of the seat. By pressing the
thumb upon this button the carriage,
if running twelve miles an hour, can

feet.
The variable speed ranges from
three to sixteen miles an hour, the
normal rates being three, six and ten
miles. To obtain these different rates
the motor does not change its speed.

Blessed Be Onions.


One of the healthiest vegetables Is
the onion; yet, strange to say, very few
people use it as literally as they should.
Boiled onions used frequently IN
family Of children will ward of many
of the diseases to which the little ones
are subject
The principle objection to the promis-
cuous use of this vegetable is that the
odor exhaled after eating is so Often
sive.
A cup Of strong coffee taken imme-
diately after eating is claimed to be ex-
cellent in counteracting this effect.
Although for day or so after eating
onions the breath may have disagree
able odor, yet after this time it will
be much sweeter than before.
For Group onion poultices are used
with success, providing the child is
kept out of draughts and sudden chill
avoided. The poultices are made by
warming the onions in goose oil until
soft, then putting them on the child's
feet and chest as hot as they can be
borne. Except in very obstinate cases,
when taken in time, the Group readily
yields to onions.
This. although an old-fashioned rem
edy, is q good one, as any mother who
has brought up 4 family Of children can
attest.
Onions are excellent blood purifiers,
and for eradicating boils or any of the
blood humors are very eficacious.
They are good for the complexion and
n friend who has a wonderfully clear,
fine complexion attributes 1t to the lib
eral use of onions as food.
People suffering from nervous
troubles arc much benefited by using
these vegetables frequently, either
cooked or raw.
When troubled with q hard cough, If
q raw onion is eaten the phlegm will
loosen almost Immediately, and can be
removed with very little effort
Those troubled with wakefulness may
insure a good nights rest often if, just
before retiring, they eat raw onion.
There are few aches to which chill
dren are subject rs hard to bear and
as painful as earache. One of the best
remedies we know of is to take out
the heart of an onion "a red onion is the
best if it can be had, although, lacking
this kind, any other can be useO and
roast it. When soft put it into the af-
fccted ear as hot as it can be borne.
Unless the cause is deeper than ordi-
narily the pain will cease in very
short time and will not return.

Hawke part | ridges, frogs and pigeons are numer- ous upon it's shores, and all sorts of crawling insects abound there; the sluggish waters, too, are covered with ducks-in fact, the fauna is the same as that inhabiting the shores of Lake | Genesaret with this difference, how ever: All specimens of the animal world about the Dead sea are slate colored, while those enlivening the shores of Lake Gen esaret wear their ordinary plumage and scaly dress re- spectively.
 | The Lake Genesaret, also called the Sea of Tiberias, or Galilee, is situated sixty-five miles north of the Dead sea. Its extreme length Is fifteen miles, it's greatest width six and three-quarter miles. The water Is very deep, even at the shores. In some spots the depth measures one hundred and sixty feet, In others seven hundred and fifty and more. In the northeast and northwest the shores are fiat and swampy; the mountains of Safed approach the lake on the north; in the west we have the hills of El-Hamma and Hattin. The volcanic plateau of Jordan begins in the east; 1t is distinguished for many dead craters; it's greatest height is called Hermon, and it wears an eter- nal snow cap. Palms that bring forth no fruit, papyrus plants and oleander flourish in the neighborhood of the shores. The stones at the edge of the water are literally covered with tur- ties, some of which grow over foot and a half long. Ducks are plentiful in some parts; in others the pelican holds forth in large numbers.

Belief That Lake Genesaret will Soon Ri- val the Site of Ancient Sodom.

Belief That Lake Genesaret will Soon Ri- val the Site of Ancient Sodom.
 tFrom the Philadelphia Times.l
 Will there be another sea of Sodom? ? Lieutenant Lynch of the United States navy has established the fact, previ- ously not known with consummate ac-
 curacy, that the depression of the Dead sea (also known as the Sea of Lot, and In the scriptures as the Salt seal, is over thirteen hundred feet be- low the level of the Mediterranean. while that of Lake Genesaret is eight hundred feet lower than the ocean
 The measurements were made twenty years ago, long period in a semi-vol- canic region. Lake Genesaret is con- nected with the Dead sea by the Jor- dan flowing through 1t from north to south, and engineers and scientists are satisfied that the bed of the Jordan is gradually sinking. Observations of the shores of Lake Genesaret, and those of the inhabitants of the neigh boring towns and villages, indicate that the lake Is continually falling to- ward the bottom, while the water is
 becoming denser from year to year. The salt strata in its neighborhood are growing constantly, 1t seems, and sul- phur springs are becoming frequent on the plains surrounding 1t. In the north and east of the lake the palm trees, some of them alive, more of them dead and barren, rise above the | water at distance of from twenty to forty feet from the shore. That they should have taken root In the water Is impossible, and the supposition is that | originally they stood on little Islands that were submerged with the sinking of the lakes bottom.
 l The catastrophe which resulted in ! the destruction of the cities of Sodom | and Gomorrah and in the formation o1 l the Dead sea Is computed to have oc- ! cured about nineteen hundred yeare before Christ. The Dead sea has pug
 zled scientists ever since, and many oi it's remarkable features have now beer | explained. It's depression below the level of the Mediterranean is the deep. est known on earth. The bottom ot Lake Genesaret Is on a much higher level at present, but f'it continues tc sink as it has done in the last twenty years, repetition of the events ol four thousand years ago is not improb
 able. As the world has not been treat
