THE BALLS IN A WHEEL.
There Ais About One Hundred and Forty
 Used In Each Bicycle

used In Each Bicycle-
 In the average bicycle there are about 140 steel balls. These are generally dis tributed as follows: Front wheel, Is {; back wheel. IS; crank shaft, 2S; ped. als, 20 each; front steering head. 40. These are of different sizes, those used in the front wheel generally being one- sixteenth of an inch larger than those in the back; the balls in the pedals are about one eighth of an inch in diameter. The perfect bicycle bali must be abso- lutely exact as to gauge. It must be highly polished, and it must be so hard that even an emery wheel will have but little effect upon it. The manufacturers have been experimenting with this arti- cle ever since bicycle making began to be an important industry. At first it was thought that small balls and more of them were better, but the size has gradually increased until now some firms make them up to seven-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, and it is gener- ally conceded that within certain lim- its the larger sizes give the most satis- faction.
 The other parts of the bearings are also very important, but perfection in them is not so difficult to secure as in the balls. The ball cups on nearly if not quite all machines are forced into their places in the wheel, pedal or bracket by hydraulic pressure and are practically as solid as if they were brazed or welded to the part in which they fit. The cones which press the balls into their places in the cups are removable, and in case of any imper- fections can be easily and cheaply re- placed. Perfect bearings should be the last things to wear out on a wheel, and years of use should only be evidenced by bright streak in the ball races, showing where the balls had run.-New vorE p,ct

Again, the church in my text is ap- propriately called a garden because it is thoroughly irrigated. No garden could prosper long without plenty of water. I have seen a garden in the midst of 8 desert, yet blooming and luxuriant. All around us were dearth and barrenness,
 but there were pipes, aqueducts, reach ing from this garden up to the noun tains, and through those aqueducts the water came streaming down and tossing up into beautiful fountains, until every root and leaf and flower was saturated.
 That is like the church. The church is a garden in the midst of 8 great desert of sin and suffering, but it is well irri- gated, for -four eyes are unto the hills from whence cometh our help" From the mountains of Gods strength there flow down rivers of gladness. "There is river the stream whereof shall make glad the city of our God. '" Preaching the gospel is one of the aqueducts. The Bible is another. Baptism and the Lord s supper are aqueducts. Water to slake the thirst, water to wash the unclean,
 water tossed high up in the light of the Sun of Righteousness showing us the rainbow around the throne.
