sideration coming from the Amazon
River valley. The tree grows to be
from seventy to 100 feet high. The
bark is smooth and yields a milky sap
when tapped. The twigs are some
times spiny and the leaves are often
six inches broad. The trees are often
cultivated for ornament, from the
West Indies to Brazil. If left to ripen
on the tree, the nut explodes with
sharp report, when each of its curious
compartments, numbering sometimes
as many as sixteen, flies asunder, so
that its seeds, which somewhat resem-
bles pumpkin seed, drops out. Our
engraving shows tho condition of the
ruptured cells. The nut has a
dense woody fiber. The nuts
stand exporting, and occasionally
do not explode for several months.
Tho pieces are thrown several feet
when the explosion takes place. If
the nut is kept in alcohol or water, it
can be preserved for years.

there are grave doubts expressed whether
the insurgents will listen to my

some one on the insurgent side who
is authorized 20 make terms. In Wash
ington is is understood that Senior Quesada

without this authority and that delegate
Estrada Palma in New York has no powers
to treat. Probably negotiations would have
to be carried on through Consul General
Lee in Havana, but owing TO the riyalries
known 10 exist amoung the Cuban generals,
his task will be no easy one.
The continued inactivity OF Gen. Gomez is
the cause Of endless speculation in Spanish
and Cuban circles. His failure TO move af-
terthe death Of his son. because there is no
doubt the youth was killed by the side OF
Maceo. corroborates the statement made in
these dispatches a few days ago that there Il
some hitch in the relations between Gomez
and the junta. 1t was believed that when hi
heard Of the death Of his son he would want
TO strike a savage blow In revenge. but his
failure TO move il accepted as an indication
OF his serious physical condition.

racer asserts that, with the assistance of

A chainless machine has during the past
year been ridden constantly in all weathers
and under all practicable test conditions;
and after its thirteen thousand miles of wear
and tear some experts have reported favor
ably upon its feasibility.
The advocates OF the chain assert that tho
experience OF riders bears out their conten-
lion thar less driving power is needed with
chains than with chainless bicycles to pro-
duee the same momentum. The. riders are
shy OF committing themselves.
Il has been generally supposed that BIZ

ground afforded by the pneumatic tires. Tho
recent death Of a Chicago cyclist from light

TO prove that this immunity does not exist.
In cleaning wheel tooth brush is an
exceedingly handy article. particularly for
cleaning the teeth of the two sprocket
wheels. 1t is also specially valuable for
cleaning around the butts OF the spokes on
the rims 1t is well in using it for these two
purposes TO moisten the brush with some
nickel polish.
Some recent experiences have shown that
the advice to ''oil'' the chain rather than
graphite il may be open to question. The
method formerly recommended in this
colu.cn was to put drop or two Of oil in
each link and then rub the chain thoroughly
dry, the object being to lubricate the joints
and leave the surface dry and polished so
that dust would not cling TO it.
