NEW BIKE TIRE.
Pneumatic Hub that Is Said to Be Nom
PuuCturab1e.

Puncturab1e.
A device which is intended to supply
all the advantages Of the pneumatic
tire, and a few more, and Go away with
all possibility of puncturing, has been
invented and patented in this country,
England, Germany, France and Cana
da by a Pennsylvania machinist. The
idea involved is to have solid OF cush-
ion tires and pneumatic hubs. The new
device is described by the inventor as
follows:
Around the axle, protected by steel
thimbles, so that there is absolutely no
wear on the rubber, is pneumatic
tube, blown up the same as pneumatic
tires. This tube is incased in a nickel

JAPAN'S GREAT ENTERPRISE IN
AMERICA.
LARGE APPROPRIATION BY I'M.
PERiAL DIET.
To Inform Americans How to Make
Tea.

Several months ago, the japanese Tea
Guild sent to this country special COM
mission, composed of Mr.. S. Mitsuhashi,
President of the Shizuoka Prefectural AS
sembly, and Mr.. j. Ohara, member Of
Japanese Parliament, to investigate the
condition of the japanese tea trade in the
United States and Canada and to COOP
crate with Mr.. L. Furuya and Mr.. L.
MiZutany. the American representatives
of the japanese Tea Guild, in giving pub
licity to the merits of japanese Teas ANU
the method of preparing them for drink
ing which would insure the best results.
Mr.. Furuya and Mr.. MiZutany are plan
ming to open Tea Bazars in many OF the
principal cities in the United Sta-es and
Canada, where ladies can enjoy a cup OF
fine japanese tea made by experts, and at
the same time receive instructions which
will enable them to make it equally we'll
at home. More than half the Tea con-
sumed in the United States AMI Canada IS
of japanese growth, yet, the majority OF
Americans apparently do not understand
how to prepare it 50 as to develop the
delicious qualities which it contains. 1t
is believed by these gentlemen that, when
Americans are in possession Of the secret
of making good tea, the consumption IN
this country will fully equa! that Of J1u-
rope in proportion. The japanese Gov
eminent has appropriated large fund to
aid the japanese Tea growers and Tea
merchants in prosecuting this educational
work, and it is hoped that American n
dies will be apt students. The main Blu
reau of the japanese Tea Guild has issued
an official recipe for making japanese
Tea, the translation of which is as fol-
lows:
First-Use a small, dry and thorough
~ clean porcelain teapot.
Second-Pnt in one teaspoonful Of tea
leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third-When using japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled
water, and let stand with closed lid from
two to three minutes. Never boil the
leaves. In order to retain the natural fla
vor, japanese tea leaves should be kept
in tight can or jar, free from moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor of Japanese
Teas, neither sugar nor cream should be
uSpd

THE BIG NAyIES.

The New York Evening Post COM
pares the great navies of the world to n
Frankinstein, turning against the ma
tons that create them with mons-
trous injury. The Post quotes an i'm
portant parliamentary paper recently
published in London setting forth the
total naval expenditures of leading
countries. The British empiTe. OF
course, heads the list, with an annual
outlay on sea-going force of S126. OOO.-
900, or more than one-fifth of the en-
tire revenue. France comes next with
an expenditure of S64,000,OO0; the
United States follows with $30,5O0,-
600; then comes Japan with $29, 7OO,-
600; Russia with $29,000,000; Ger
many, $21 100000; Italy, $20,500,OOO;
and the little fellow struggling along
with all the millions they can afford.
Two main reasons are given fer the
ever increasing cost Of navies. One
is the need of keeping a navy up 70
date. A few years suffice to render a
man-of-war obsolete in type. Emper-
or William is making his determined
struggle Tor new ships not because

The adulteratiOn of foods will be
best prevented by legislation that
compels each article of consumption
to be labelled for Just what it is.
Simply this and nothing more. Laws
against adulteration and penalties at
tached thereto, are not needed. Put
the full legal limit on fraudulent re-
presentation and the people will do the
rest. Make every article bear the
stamp Of Its real character and fine
heavily for any infraction of the law
Then the people who desire to pay for
chickory and Oleomargerine and leath-
err syrup and such will be permitted
to do so and get it at a reasonable
price, but they will not be fooled into
thinking tat they are buying butter
and coffee and mOlasses. Compel the
maker to stamp ON his goods what
thev are composed of and punish him
for lying. That is only fair all
around. Then the purchaser will
know what he is doing and will buy
accordingly.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat did
heroic work in favor Of the Plattists
in New York, during the campaign
which turned down the reputable Re
publicans of that city and handed it
over to the rule of Tammany. 1t had

Republicans as Strong and Low and
the thousands of good staunch Repub-
leans who stood for clean government
as it had been administered under
Strong for three years, but when the

he wants more, but because he wants
the new kind. Then when he gets
these by the time they are construc-
ted, there will be a newer kind and so
on ad infnitum. Then again as Kais-
er Wilhelm says, Germany must in
crease her fleet so as to be more Of
match for Francs navy, or England's.
Well, then Germany's new navy
will be a signal for France to in
crease hers, and what will England
do? English naval authorities already
says they will build a new squadron
as soon as the reishstag votes the en-
peror his new cruisers. So there you
are. Germany will pile up the agony
and where will it end? The ship
builders enjoy it, whether the taxpay-
ers suffer or not.
OF course Emperor William uses the
old argument that he wishes to put
himself in strong defensive position,
and so restrain the hot heads who
otherwise might attack him. This is
what they all say. Not one of them
would use a war vessel aggressively.
Heaven knows, they would not wrong
the weakest by attacking. Now it is
obvious that if such vows were put in
writing, or in a general treaty, the
nSeu Oh lighting navy would vanish.
All would be bound not to attack,
anu SO on one would be compelled TO
prepare for depose the fallacy that
prepare Tor defense. But any ship
builder could expose the fallacv that
turks in this-Leavenworth Times.

PUBLIC ECONOMY NEEDED.

The income that is not adequate to
meet the expenditures Of the individ-
ual must be increased. If this can not
be done the expenditures must be low
cred. This can be done. If it is not
done, then debts accumulate. This is
the case with governments as well as
individuals. The United States
has been running behind of late
it's income less than it's expenses
for FIVE years. Debt has been accu-
mulating all of these years. At pres
ent the income is approaching expens-
es more nearly than for four years
and more. Prospects are good for in
come to exceed expenses in a few
months, but there is no doubt that
there would be good money to the
country in reducing expenses. 1t
costs too much to govern these Uni
ted States. With proper care a saw
might be effected without interfering
in any way with the efficiency Of the
public service There is too much red
tape, for one thing, and that costs.
There are too many clerks in the pub
lie offices, and the bill for their ser
vices might be greatly reduced. Econ
omy would come with greater sim
plicity of administration. The only
power able to effect this is Congress,
and Congress must be moved by a
strong public sentiment. 1t is easy to
spend the money Of others. Appro-
priations are made too readily. Sen
ate is worse than the House. of Rep
resentatives in this waste. 1t is
waste, for it is consuming more in
doing certain work than is required.
There is no need of retrenchment I'M
til the public service suffers. Nor is
there any need of cutting down the
number of the public servants until
those who remain are Overworked.
There is call for fewer servants to
do the work of the government, and
fewer weeks of vacation for those
who do it. Greater care in investi-
eating the real cost of constructions
in allowing plain. and granting pen
SiOns and in like things would greatly
tend to lower the appropriation bills
and so lessen the demands upon the
treasury. Every dollar thus saved
lessons the demand upon the raising
powers of the revenues of the country
lightens the burdens of the people,
decrease the taxes of the poor, makes
government less burdensOme. In a
government by the people, the saving
of Unnecessary expense to the people
is a matter of prime consideration.
The fact is that private expenditures
in this country are on an enormous
scale, and public expenditures are
fast following suit. This is an evil in
our government, and our representa-
tiyes in the national house of legisla-
ton should correct it.

If the threats of bankruptcy to the
business world should have been the
moving cause for the early passage
of a bankruptcy bill through Congress,
as some Democratic editors assert,
then it was in order for the Congress
that expired last March TO have en-
gineered such a bill. The country
was far more in danger of becoming
bankrupt then than now. The Demo
cratic journals themselves acknow-
ledge this and thus acknowledge
that matters have vastly improved
since Cleveland was legislated out of
office.
