Pressure on a Bicycle Tire.

Some interesting experiments have
been made as to the air pressure in BIZ
cycle tires. AS the bicycle stood alone
the pressure on the front tire was
pounds and ON the rear tire 26 pounds.
When the rider mounted, the increase
in the pressure in the front wheel was
not perceptible, and in the rear wheel
it was less than half a pound. The
rider weighed 175 pounds.

the "Hellespont," he would have
written second "Illiad," CHI angling
its subject from the valiant deeds
of Hero to the conquering beau

and in artistic taste and array rep
resented his times and people,
Not less but equally so representa-
tions of the "Merry Zingara" from
"Golden Climes," who In real pos

whose every movement only
"lent enchantment to view."
The occasion was the beginning

rated by the ladies of the members

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys-
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only ard sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are, then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
nav be commended to the most slIillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

The following from the Double
Standard, one of the leading Re-
publican papers of Idaho, ex-
plains why Gov. Mcconnell is
anxious that Idaho should be a
goldbug State
1.-THE goldbugs have put money
into this State, and is today be-
ing used in the interests of Nc
Cornell and other Office seekers,
to break down the fight of the
silver senators. 1t was the only
hope the governor had for the
Senate, because on a fair issue
within the Republican party on
the old lines, he was without a
following"
Gov. Mcconnell never was a
silver man; he was a wolf in
sleeps clothing. This inter
view of his in SanFrancisco will
be great aid to the Sound
money" advocates. They will
refer to it in loud tones, and say;
why, Mcconnell, the great and
almighty Governor of Idaho, a
great silver producing State, has
said that silver cuts but little
figure-but tariff is the issue. y
Silver is the main issue, regard
less of what our humbug Cover
nor says.

the United States Senate.

buS OilltSQ OUdtcS OtudUS.
Governor Mcconnell is an
aspirant for election to that body.
Will the people of Idaho consid-
er the candidacy of a man who
is openly and avowedly against
them, and who thus plainly puts
their dearest principle at the bot
tom of his political repertory !?
If so, our Judgment has not been
aided by thirty years associa-
ton with them.
We do not believe that they
have breathed the inspiration of
these mountains so long and des-
cended SO low
We are glad that the COVER
nor's jealous repubhcanism has
outrun his silent discretion this
once, and turned upon him the
Illuminating x rays of self-con-
viction. We are glad the people
have this opportunity for time
ly understanding. We are glad
to know, furthermore, that Gov
ernor Mcconnell is true repre-
sentative of the republican party
of this state, and that the people
have this opportunity to view
the illuminated inwardness OF
that political organization. II
they look close they 'will'observe
deep down in the secret recesses
of the republican heart, an in
herent desire to see the silver
miners in hades, and the yellow
gold of plutocracy made the sin
gle standard of the nation.
AS this year will witness the
great eliminating battle between
the financial forces OF this nation,
it is but natural to expect thai
each man will enter into the com
bat under his true colors. Nc
disguise will answer now. The
issue is stated and the fight will.
be in the open. Keep lookout
| fellow citizens. and see who goes
to the enemy.
Thousands of our mines anC
prospects are abandoned, anC
are thousand gaping wounds
which, "like poor, dumb mouths
cry out for vengence on the
heartless conspirators who have
sought to destroy them. Cover
nor Mcconnell is with them
You will not find him in the
grand rally to the peoples stan
dard. You will not find any
genuine republican there. Every
man is either for us or agains
us. And we have no use fol
those who are against us.
If it has come to a test between
wool and silver in this state, it il
high time the people were aware
of that fact If the governor i,
simply for wool and against sill
yer, it is high time we Should
know it 1t is high time tina
we should proceed to make a fit

carcass !

oliver Men Confident.

The silver men are confident
that they will capture the Chica-
go convention. Senator Gamer
on has more than once been men
toned as the candidate of the
combined silver forces for presi-
dent, should the "sound money"
advocates control the Chicago
convention and should there be
no recognition of silver at st.
Louis. Again reports have been
circulated that Senator Quay's
desire to control the Pennsyl-
vania delegation has been be-
cause he wanted to throw the
vote to Cameron, the idea being
that Senator Cameron would get
the votes of the silver states of
the West in the st. Louis con-
vention. The latter story is con-
sidered improbable, but no one
has publicly frowned upon the
talk of the Pennsylvania sena-
tor as a candidate of the silver
men.
OF course the talk of Senator
Cameron for president on a sill
yer ticket is based on contingent
cies. 1t is based on the ideas al
ready suggested. The silver
Democrats are confident of win
ming at Chicago and if their ac-
tions then are such as to com
mand the favor of the silver men
generally, there would be cause,
it is said, to think that there will
be other nominations.
The leading Congressman at
Washington feel very confident
of the success of silver. Among
those who have expressed them
selves were the following:
Representative Woodwork, Of
North Carolina
eve are going to nominate &
silver man on a silver platform
and we will sweep the country
Representative Livingston
"We've got the Chicago con
vention and there is no doubt o.
that"
Mr.. Livingston thinks the sill
yer men may have more thai
100 majority.
Senator Harris 1.-THE silver
side of the question is on a boom.

as to have had absolutely no motion
whatever, except, indeed. in the direct
line toward the sun. If, at the mo-
ment Of starting, the object possessed
a movement which would carry 1t in
the course of time out of the direct
line to the sun, then a totally different
condition Of motion would result.
All the time the sun was drawing
this wisp of vapor toward IT, the trans
verge mcvement would be gradually
moving the wi3p out of the direct line.
Now. though the speed OF that move
ment may be very small, yet in the
lapse of those millions of years that
are required to draw the body into
the sun, this transverse movement will
have increased to such an extent that
the object will miss the sur instead
OF hitting II. In fact, after its stupen-
dous voyage from the indefinitely re-
mote depths Of space. during which
1t has acquired its vast speed OF scores
OF hundreds of miles u second, the COM
ct will be found o %plunging into the
sun. but passing to one side of 1t.
While the two objects are in such close
proximity, their mutual attraction Is
Of ours OF tremendous vehemence. In
virtue of this attraction, the rapidly
moving comet Is whirled round the
sun, and consequently begins to re-
treat again toward the same side from
watch 1t has come. In this majestic
sweep the comet describes a graceful
curve. Coming in from infinity. it ap-
proaches the sun, wheels round the
sun, and then again retires to the
depths of space.
The Red Cloud chief., 1896-12-25

same as that in the ease hiterto sup.
posed. But our illustration will. at all
events, suffice to give a general idea
OF what actually happens. The comets
are drawn In from the depths Of space,
they approach the sun, they sweep
round the sun, and they thea retreat
again to the abys SIS from which they
have come. The laws Of mathematics
assure us that IL is quite possible for
an object, after journeying from an
UNNECESSARILY great distance for an
UNNECESSARILY long time, to enter our
system, to wheel round the sun. and
then again retreat to an
infinite voyage which should last for
all eternity. II Is perfectly certain
that this kind of motion, which we
know to be possible. does closely re.
semble that actually performed by
many of the comets. These bodies en-.
ter our system, they come into the
vicinity Of the earth, and, under these
circumstances, they are accessible to
our observation. As they retreat into
space they gradually withdraw from
our view. Many Of the comets which
come to visit us appear to be objects
which have never been within the ken
IF the earth before. and will never be
within the ken Of the earth again.
There are. however. a few of their
bodies which describe orbits of a diff.
forent kind. They move round in el.
liptic or oval paths, so that their Wis.
It's to our vicinity and their conse.
quent visibility to the inhabitants OF
the earth recur with more or less reg.
ularity. or such a natur is that most
famous of all comets which bears the
The Red Cloud chief., 1896-12-25

Let us suppose that there was no 9th
n star in the universe than our own
sun, and let us further, for the sake
Of making the argument clearer, sup
pose that the sun is deprived OF its
system OF attendant worlds. Next. let
some other object be introduced which
we may suppose to be extremely light,
ike a wisp OF vap0r. and let it be sit
lated at a distance from the sun which
we may regard as indefinitely great.
These two bodies, namely, the sun and
his wisp Of vapor. are then supposed
to be abandoned to their mutual at
traction. Each OF these objects will
pull the other, and the result OF the
attraction between the two bodies will
be to make them approach each other.
As, however. the mass of the wisp Is
so ~ II, we may fairly assume that
he greater part OF this movement will
be done by the wisp, while the sun will
remain comparatively at rest. The
ease Is, indeed, much the same in this
respect as in the fall of a stone to
the ground. The stone goes down 10
h''t' u 'uith, put tHt toItH dl lUt
same time comes up to meet the stone.
As, however, the earth Is more mass
we than millions OF millions of stones.
the actual movement performed by
the earth Is in this case quite I'M
appreciable. We may say, with truth
enough for all practical purposes, that
1t is the stone which does all the
moving, while the earth remains at
rest.
In the same manner we may sup
bose the sun 10 be at rest, while this
wisp Of vapor is drawn toward 1t from
