In Engineering News the use of pneu- matic tires on carriage wheels in Paris is discussed, and it Is shown that the force required to draw 8 carriage so equipped is much less than when an iron tire is used. Pneumatic rubber tires were applied to wheels by R. w. Thomson, an English civil engineer, in 1S46, with good results, but the device lapsed. Now, in Paris, such tires are in common use on cab wheels. The econ omy of their use is about 3S per cent. on good roads and 6S per cent. on newly broken stone. The result is much the same whether the road be muddy or covered with snow. The solid rubber tire is better than the iron tire, but the inflated tire is the best. Besides diminishing the power required for traction the pneumatic tire is without noise and frees the rider from jar and minor jolts. Both the bicycle wheel with wire spokes is used in Paris and the wheel with wooden spokes. The re- suit is best when the air pressure in | the tire is about 6,5 pounds.

Tn Yorkshire and some other parts of England every occasion for rejoicing is marked by the baking of a huge pie which after exhibition is eaten by the inhabitants of the village. For in- stance, the other day at Denby Dale, Yorkshire, the people celebrated the fftieth anniversary of the revision of the corn laws by building a pie six feet six inches wide and ten feet six inches long, This was not so large as a pie built by the same village some years ago. This monster pie was drawn through the town by thirty-one horses, headed by three brass bands, and was afterward put away under the waist coats of the Denby Dalers.

The electric motor for New York s elevated railroad system Is said to be a strange-looking affair. A third rail is used instead of trolley wire. It is only an experimental affair, and is built on an old engine truck In the middle is the cab for the electrician in charge. In front of and behind this compartment are the cells where the batteries are stored. The entire engine is eighteen feet long, and it slopes from a height of eight feet at the cab to three feet at the end. Two hundred accumulator cells are carried, with a battery with @ voltage Of 400. The motors are geared to the axles. The current, which is carried by the third rail, is supplied from a nearby sta- tion. It is said that the batteries have enough power to run a train for nine teen miles without aid from the third rail, and that speed of thirty five miles an hour can be obtained The new system also does away with the necessity of buying copper wire to use for the conduction of the current.

A novel provision of the Indiana elec- tion bribery law is that he who accepts
 bribe for voting or for neglecting to
 vote may recover, in an action at law,
 $500 from the briber. The courts had
 recently before them the first case un-
 der this statute. The fact of the ten-
 der and the acceptance of $5 was es-
 tablished, but the curious point was
 raised that the prosecutor had lost the
 right to sue, that he was not, in fact,
 bried, as, according to his own testi-
 mony after accepting s5 to abstain from voting, he went to the polls and voted This controversy was carried to the Appellate court, where the point
 was overruled on the common sense
 ground that to accept the defendant S narrow interpretation of the law would
 be to defeat the purpose for which the law was enacted. Incidentally the
 court, in an obiter dictum, expressed it's regret that "the necessities of the
 law require, in order to compel an ob-
 servance of it's provisions, that one of the parties to such an infamous con tract should be made beneficiary, but | if it were not so, it would be impossible | to detect and punish the real criminal" ]"

The game was as pretty contest as one
would desire to see upon any grounds by
older teams until the seventh inning when
B. II. Smith, the VISITORS pitcher, became
tired. This, coupled with as bad a case OF
''rattles" as any one ever saw, together
with some heavy batting, Melted IA runs

team also secured eight OF their twelve
hits in this inning.

Outside OF this inning the visitors played
better game than the home team, who

They simply show that there have been

MCKINLEY and Hobart will to a
dead certainty carry Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio. This is no ante
election buncombe: but is calm,
serious statement of facts based upon
full reports from every congressional
district in the states named which are
now in the hands of Chairman Bah
cock, of the republican congressional
committee. Just compare this state
ment with the claims put forward for
Bryan, the most modest of which
include Indiana and Illinois, and you
will get fair idea of how hopeless the
popocratic campaign really is. The
latest of these claims was made by
Chairman Butler, of the populist ma
tional committee, and presents total
of 232 electoral votes. Now deduct the
electoral votes of Indiana-Butler very
considerably comedies that Illinois,
Michigan, Iowa and Ohio are in doubt
and Bryan is a defeated man, even
though he should carry all the oCher
states clai med by Butler, among which
are the two Dakotas, Washington.
Wyoming, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Oregon, California. Maryland and
West Virginia, eleven states, of which
more than half will to dead certainty
be carried for Mckinley. One hundred
and thirty-tw will come much nearer
to the number of electoral votes Bryan
will get, than 232. The republican
congressional campaign is i'll just as
good condition as that of Mckinley and
Hobart. There are enough republicans
whose election to the house is now alb
solutely certain ascertained by actual
personal contact with the voters-to
insure a republican majority of more
than thirty in the next house, and
there are about fifty more districts in
which republicans have an even chance
to win. Taking the whole situation, it
is a conservative estimate to place the
republican majority i'll the next house
in the near neighborhood of fifty.
That isn't as big as it is in the present
house, but it is big enough to do
business with.
