Not for Carriage Wheels,

1t is not generally understood as it
should be, perhaps, that bicycle wheels
seldom or never are subjected to lateral
strains. They need to resist only those
strains which pass through their own
plane and i'll this plane only have they
any strength worth speaking of. This
is worth remembering when the use
of wheels of this type is being consid-
cred for three or four wheeled vehi-
cles, where the conditions are essen
tally different and where, in turn
ing corners rapidly, or in going over
ground that causes the vehicle to be
inclined sideways, very considerable
lateral strain may be brought upon the
wheels--a strain which the ordinary
bicycle wheel is, very properly, entire
ly untitled for. This is to be consid-
cred also in connection with devices
for attaching two bicycles side by side
to make a duplex or four-wheeled ma
chine of them. Neither the frame, the
bearings nor the wheels of a properly
constructed bicycle are adapted to such
use without in jury.-Chicago News.

Emitz, we can't expect anything of him.
There is no hope for us at all Our Of

Barstow stole from the office and for
few minutes paced energetically up
and down the walk, his mind heavy
with thought. After awhile he came to
sudden halt, and, planting his foot
down hard. said:
"I'll do it, no matter what the loss.

He walked leisurely back and again

So it was settled, and the next week

it was named the Breeze Maverick. Mr..
Barstow and Emit did the work, and
year later when Mr.. Morris died of con-
sumption they became the publishers
under the firm name of Barsto9y and
Morris.
They have good business now, Magic

that he made the best business move of
his life when he proposed consolidating

SPIRITS OF TURPENTINE.
Some of Its Uses in the Arts and Manu-
, features,

Some of Its Uses in the Arts and Manu-
features.
Very few people have any correct no.
ton of the number of uses to which the
products of turpentine have been put.
Let us mention some of the different
ways spirits of turpentine enters into
the arts and manufactures. Many who
read this article by gaslight will re-
member when they read their news
papers by the smoky light furnished by
"camphene." This was before the in
PRODUCTION and use of petroleum. Cam
phene is prepared by mixing the recti-
fed oil of turpentine with alcohol AL
though kerosene is now so cheap, the
rectified spirits of turpentine is still
used for illuminating purposes in some
bacltwood sections of the south.
Perhaps the most common uses of the
spirits of turpentine are those in the
arts, where it enters into the prepare
ton of paints and varnishes, and es-
pecially in the manufacture of india
rubber goods. The paint and varnish
industries take about 100000 gallons
annually, while the rubber industry re-
quires about 100000 gallons year.
But spirits of thrpentine has other
uses not so well known TO most readers.
How many would enjoy their salad oils
and other vegetable oils if they knew
that they were adulterated with turpen-
tine oil? How many invalids know
that their medicines contain spirits of
turpentine, or that the liniment or
ointment which relieves their aches and
pains is largely composed of turpen-
tine ?--Lee j. Vance, in Appleton's Pop
ular Science Monthly.

GOLD MEN WILL ACT.
ATTEMPT TO BE MADE TO
FORM A NEW PARTY.
Democrats Who Dislike the Platform
the Recent National Convention win
Call Another-New Ticket to BE Put
In the Field.

Chicago, July 14.-As announced a
week ago, the gold democrats of the
country will not only refuse to support
the nominees and the platform of the
Chicago convention, but will place a
sound money" democratic ticket in the
field. Chicago, ST. Louis and Cincin-
natl are the places most favored for a
''sound-money" democratic national
convention, and Henry Watterson of
Kentucky is mentioned as the ideal can
didate on "sound-money" platform for
president.
Although the leaders of the delega-
tons from the eastern states were very
guarded while attending the convention
last week in talking about the posi-
bility of a second national ticket being
named, il was well known that the
great majority of the delegates favored
such course. AS for the western and
southern states where the party organ
ization has been wrested from the
hands of the goldites, the feeling N ia
vor of a third ticket is even stronger
than in the east.

national ticket do not make the claim
that they will win, they do not expect
success, but their position is that this
will be the easiest method by which
they can strike blow at the silver
heresy and it's champions. and bring
about the election of Mckinley and the
adoption of the ''sorndmoney" repub-
lican platform.
The fight will be made mainly in the
southern states. The gold democrats
believe that with some southern man
like Henry Watterson at the head of
their ticket they could break into the
solid south and aid Mckinley in cap
turing several of them. A third ticket
might give Maryland, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Alabama,
North Carolina, and Delaware to the
republicans

HILL SAYS NOTHING.
VIII Probably Soon Issue a Statement to
New York Democrats.

Albany, N. Y. July 14.-David B.
Hill told correspondent, who call
ed upon him Monday that he must per-
sist for the present in his determine
ton not to make any public utterance
regarding the work of the Chicago con-
yention. He declared that since hts
return from Chicago he had not had
any conversation with newspaper men
and therefore ali alleged statements
presuming to emanate from him with
reference to the probable program to
be followed by the ''sound-money"
democrats were purely imaginary.
In due season it is understood to be
Mr.. Hills intention to issue a state
ment for the guidance of the anti-silver
democracy of the Empire state. Ac-
cording to the story current in political
circles here, it is believed that on the
way home from the convention last
Saturday, Senator Hill and other demo-
cratic leaders in his party agreed that
1t would be unwise to aid in the nomi-
nation of another presidential ticket.

Annual Meeting.
London, July 15.-The Bimetallic
League of Great Britain held it's annual
meeting Monday in the Canon Street
Hotel. The annual report declares that
the cause of international bimetallism
has made substantial progress during
the year, both in Great Britain and
abroad. 1t mentions the resolutions
adopted by the Chamber of Deputies in
France, the Chamber of Representa-
tives in Belgium, and the Prusian Diet,
declaring for bimetallism, and con-
tinues:
I'm the United States all parties and
classes would welcome international BIZ
metallism. A large section Of the peo-
pie there, however, are SO strongly
convinced of the urgent necessity for
the remonetizing of silver that they are
indisposed to wait for international
agreement. No party of any import
ance in the United States favors gold
