Wide Tires n Benefit to Roads.

Elaborate tests of the draft of wide
and narrow tired wagons have just
been completed by the Missouri Agri-
cultural college experiment station, CO.
lumbia, extending over period OF
year and half. These tests have
been made on macadam, gravel and
dirt roads in all conditions, and also
on the meadows and plowed fields or
the experimental farm. Contrary to
public expectation, in nearly all cases
draft was materially lighter when tires
six inches wide were used, than with
tires of standard width. The LOAD
hauled was in all cases the same, and
the draft was most carefully deter
mined by means of a self-recording
dynamometer The beneficial effect OF
the wide tire on dirt roads is striking
~ shown in some recent tess at the
station, the Columbia Herald says. A
clay road. badly cut into ruts by the
narrow tires, was selected Tor the test,
as presenting conditions least favor
able to the broad tire. number OF
tests of the draft of the narrow tire
We're made in these open ruts. and inn
mediately followed by the broad tires
running in the same ruts. The first
run of the bread tire over the narrow
tire ruts was accompanied by an in
creased draft; the second by draft
materially less than the original mar
row tire, third by still greater de-
cline and in the fourth trip the rut was
practically obliterated and Tiled. In
another trial, when a clay road was
so badly cut into ruts as to be almost
impossible for light vehicles and pleas
tre carriages, after running the six
inch tires over this road twelve times
the ruts were completely flied, and a
fiIst-class bicycle path was made.

A Ouecu's Visit.

TO be old and poor and bedridden Is
generally to be debarred from the
greater privileges of life. but there
was one old man in Scotland who
found his disadvantages had procured
him privilege that the strong and
more active members of his family
were seeking III vain. It was on an &C.
casion when Queen Victoria was at
Balmoral, and. as she often did, she
went one day, unaccompanied, to visit
tho cottages. In one of these she
found an old man, bedridden and quite
alone, and she sat down to talk to him.
And how is it you are alone?" she
asked. Have you no one to keep you
company"
No. replied the old man. innocent
ly. my folks be all away seeing the
queen; they thought they might set a
glimpse of her."
His visitor made no reply, but she sat
with the old man. pleasantly filling the
gap made by the absence of Ibis folks. -
and then found time to read to him
from the Bible she herself treasured.
On leaving she gave a further proof
OF her sympathy in the shape of 4 five
pound note. accompanying it with the
words: when your people come back
tell them that while they have been
20 see the queen, the queen has been to
see Won"

A Change I'm His Queen.

A captain in a regiment stationed at
Natal, when paying his company one
day. CHANGED to give man Trans
vaal half-crown, which. as one would
naturally expect, bears the image and
subscription" OF President Kruger.
The man brought it back to the pay
table and said to the captain: Please
sir, you've given me bad half
crown"
The officer took the coin. and. with
out looking at it. rung it on the table,
and then remarked: 1t sounds all
right, Bagster. What's wrong with
it,"
You luke at ii. SIR was the reply.
The captain glanced at the coin,
saying: Its all right, man; it will
PASS in the canteen."
This apparently satisfied Bagster
who walked off making the remark:
IF you say it's a right, sir. it is a
right: but it's the first time I've seen
the queen wi whiskers on!'--An-
