who puts In his spare time giving play
to his inventive genius. He intends
starting for Paris in few days to lay
before the authorities the scheme of his
wheel, which he has little doubt will
be adopted.
The device consists Of gigantic
wheel 200 feet In height, and with a
steel frame composed of a network Of
braces. Its structural detail and the
towers which support it look not unlike
the Ferris wheel. The great difference
ed between the the two outer rims, or
the periphery Of the wheel, this space
is inclosed and laid with stout flooring,
giving the whole theappearance of a g.
gantic bicycle wheel with broad, fiat
tire. Upon this floor and in the inside
Of the wheel is great trough with
sides rising three feet above the bottom,
and in this trough are laid stout steel
tracks. Cars rest upon these tracks.
and the object Of the invention is to
cause these vehicles. filled with people,
to be carried up Il certain distance into
the air by the wheel, then shot down
the incline with speed of the wind
and up the other side by the force of
the momentum.
The wheel begins to revolve from left
to right and the car is carried up about
seventy feet to a point Onethird the
distance from the bottom to the top of
the wheel. The car Is gripped to the
tracks with lateral arms. spreading out
on each SIDE and clamping themselves
tightly to the tracks and trough by the
turning of lever in the hands of a
motOrman. When the cars have reach
ed the height Of seventy feet the motor
man releases the lateral arms and the
vehicle shoots down the incline ut ter
rife rate of speed and up the other side,
the wheel stopping during the descent.
There Is a pond Of water in the inside
troughs, which flows around at the low
est level it can find and is consequently
always at the bottom of the wheel. AS
the boat-like vehicle descends it dashes
through the water, reproducing the SEN
sation experienced in shooting the
chutes" and surrounding the people
with shower Of spray, which does not
wet them, because 1t Is hurled away
from the car. At night, when the wheel
Is surrounded by thousands of colored

The Introduction of electricity into
the uses Of everyday life has brought
the electric fan for cooling apartments
during the summer. At first the price
of these was 80 great that only large
concerns could afford them. Then, too,
electric power was not 80 common.
Now there are few fiat buildings which
are not supplied with -uynamos and ap-
planes for electric lighting. The
price of the fans is only about half
what 1t was, and offices, small restau.
rants, stores and private apartments
are now cooled by this process. But
the cost Is still larger than 1t should be
and when the fans can be had for SIC
or less there will be a much larger

LARGEST OF GLOBES
An Illinois Man Com pletinR a Repre-.
sentatiou of the karth's Surface,

sentatiou of the karth's Surface,
George C. Schneider, Of Lincoln, ILL.,,
Is now completing what he says is the
largest geographical globe in the world.
Graduated from German universe
ties, Mr.. Schrieber IS not only an ex-
pert mapmaker but Is an authority ON
geography. A little more than three
years ago he conceived the idea OF
building a globe which would surpass
all other globes not only in size, but in
accuracy and detail. He had made
several spheres similar in size and de-
tail to the ordinary school globes. but
he wished to Guido his own efforts as
well as those Of others.
Being OF a mechanical turn Of mind.
Schrieber prepared his plans for the
monster sphere with care, and has sys-
Dramatically put them in operation The
first step was to build the frame Of the
globe. This consisted Of skeleton of
cast iron rods radiating from a steel
pipe. which forms the axis; the pipe
was perforated and the rods were re-
ceived into 1t. being carefully gradu-
ated In length. Then common tele-
graph wire was used. a network being
woven over the ends Of the rods. A
rigid and fairly smooth surface having
been thus formed, he covered the wire
network with several layers Of stout
building paper, gluing each sheet
smoothly to the surface.
Then the globe was a grayish- black
sphere five feet in diameter the exact
shape Of the earth, being slightly fiat
tened Mt the poles. 1t was ready for
Mr.. Schneider to begin work upon.
Not much time was required to lay
on the integument Of the great mass.
The preparation used is of Mr.. Schrei.
Ders devising. He has used wood pulp
and papier mache, but neither was sat.
isfactory. After years Of experiment.
Ing he invented composition which
serves the purpose better than any
thing yet discovered. Sawdust sifted
In through cheese cloth until it Is as
fine as flour Is mixed with the cheapest
grade OF varnish known to the trade.
and the outer covering Is ready. Schrei-
Der covered the big sphere with a lay
err quarter of an inch deep Of this
material.
Two or three weeks time was re.
quired to dry the surface thoroughly
and then the real work commenced.
First he marked off the degrees of hat
itude and longitude with mathematical
accuracy, then laid Off the entire sur
face Of the globe in halfinch squares,
