SOME NEW INVENTIONS.

Pneumatic tires are prevented from
straining when the wheel is standing
still by placing 4 nunLCl q balls in
side the tire, which run freely and keep
about As degrees above the lowe st point
OF the rim as long as the wheel revolves,
but when it stops they drop to the bot
tom, and take the weight of the rider
and machine off the tire.
Letters can be weighed to determine
their postage by a new pencil attach
ment which las rod set in the end
of the pencil to support pivoted scale
lever, the casing which surrounds the
scale and rod having yoke at the end
to rest in the graduated notches on
the upper edge of the scale lever and
show the weight of the letter.
To melt snow from the streets a
Brooklyn man has invented a machine
which has several fire boxes mounted
on truck, together with an endless ele-
vator which raises the snow to the top
OF the furnaces, where it melts and
runs into tank, from which it can be
discharged into the sewer while yet
warm, to prevent its freezing up again.
Furnaces can be heated with oil at
a low cost by using q new liquid fuel
burner which has central oil tube end
ing in an atomizer, which is placed at
the mouth of an inlet to the furnace
door and surrounded by perforated noz-
zle, which discharges compressed air
into the inlet with the spray Of oil,
thus increasing the heat in the combus-
ton chamber.
To assist man to keep his appoint
ments new electric device has dials for
the months, days and hours, with hands
on the dials which may be set at any
point. The appointments are to be reg
istered in note book and the hands
set at hour Of the first one, at which
time clock starts an electric bell, which
rings until the hands are moved for
ward to the next point to be indicated.

NEW AND NOVEL.

A new detachable grip for bicycle
handle bars is mounted on tube which
is screwthreaded on the interior to en-
gage screw threads cut on the outside OF
the bar.
One of the newest oil cans for cyclists
use has sliding nozzle, which fits over
a pin set in the bottom of the oil reser-
voir when pressed in, the pin prevent
ing the oil from escaping and keeping
impurities from the tube.
In new fruit picker recently patent
ed two rings are hinged TO the end of
pole and operated by pulling n cord to
close like jaws around the apple,
fabric sack or tube being mounted at
the back of each ring to catch, the fruit
as it falls.
A novel idea in non-refillable bottles
consists in placing a recess in the wall
OF the bottle, into which q coin can be
placed having a greater value than the
bottle, so that the buyer will break it
to get the coin, which he buys with the
bottle.
Dust can be cleaned from straw as it
is stacked by a new attachment for
pneumatic stackers, which consists of
hood to go over the end of the pipe,
with curved fingers set in the outer por-
ton, which allows the dust to blow
through, but changes the course of the
straw so that it falls on the stack.
Butter can be preserved to keep in
warm climates by new process, con-
sisting Of first wrapping it in sailed pa
per on parchment and then iuclcsing it
in pulp or pastehoard box to be tied
by cords. after which it is immersed in
paraflfn and then in cod water to seal
the box and form an aiEtig ht casing.
To assist in washing gold IL Texan has
patented n portable machine having
two bowls mounted one above the other
on vertical shaft in the center of a
cylinder, with series of rakes adapted
to fit inside the bowls and agitate the
contents. water and gold-bearing soil
being placed in the bowls and the gold
separated by revolving the shaft and
bowls.

portant port on the face Of the globe.
There must be tangible power back
of that flag to make it respected every
where and to protect the interests of
American citizens who in tho future,
more than over in the past, will push
their adventurous way throughout
the civilized world. For the se reasons
all Americans are in favor of better
and bigger navy and whatever the
cost they are ready to pay it.
But as whatever we have to fear is
from external rather than internal
sources, the proposition to maintain a
large stand ,ng army in times Of peace
is always We've | wi IN suspicion. Our
standing army is large enough for all
ordinary exlgencies and when supple
mented by the national guard is cap
able Of coping with any danger which
may threaten US from the outside.
THIS being true. members of the Sen
ate and House should watch with a
suspicious eye any tendency to inor-
dinately increase our regular army.
If troops are needed Tor any expected
trouble between this country and
Spain they should be for tn coming at
once and in such numbers as the gov
eminent may need. and they will be
so forthcoming. But the people of
this country are not prepared for the
coming Of "the man on horseback"
The moment the need OF these troops
for the purpose of foreign warfare or
home protection from a foreign foe
shall have departed, that moment
they should be disbanded. This pur-
pose should be expressly stipulated.
With the transportation facilities at
our command the matter of mobiliz-
ing troops is one which presents no
difficulties. Experienced men are
ready and waiting for any call of
duty.
The country needs no large stand
ing army in time of peace, and If our
Congressional representatives do their
whole duty by their constit uents the
country will not be inflicted with it.

EFFORTS TO INCREASE THE
ARMY.

Under the pretense OF patriotism
nm open movement is now on foot to
largely increase our standing army.
This has been part of general de-
sign which has been brewing for sew
eral years past, but which it has been
found impossible to BRING TO a head
because of the opposition to the peo.
pie. Now that there is little or no
chance Of an Indian outbreak, our
standing army OF twenty-five or thirty
thousand men is sufficiently large for
our needs and the only use that could
be had for larger army is, not to
turn it against foreign foes, but
against the people themselves, under
the pretext OF suppressing riots. The
tendency toward a larger standing
army has been apparent in our nation
al lie for several ;ears past. During
that time federal intervention in pure.
ly state affairs has become more not
ably frequent and the aggressious Of
the federal courts have been such as
to startle the people.

very excuse they have desired. Amer.

MUST PROVE HIS CHARGES.

Eli Q. Snyder, principal at the
ElkO public school, was arrested tn Is
afternoon on a charge OF criminal
libel preferred by the editor at this
paper. For nearly two years we
have borne his abuse with patience
and treated it with the contempt it
deserved. Patience has ceased 20 be
q virtue in dealing with him and he
will now be given an opportunity to
prove every charge ne has made.
Failing i'm that he should be put
where the character and integrity of
decent citizens capuot he assaulted by
him through the public press.
In order to accomplish his purpose,
the ruin of the editor Of the INDIE
PENDENT, he established daily paper
here last September, the columns Of
which. day after day, have been
filled with malicious accusations
against the object of his hatred.
These charges, false in every essen
tial particular, have been scattered

every crime in the decalogue has
been charged against us in an insin-

the hope that he would so commit
himself that the law would reach out
its strong arm and clothe him in the
trlnn's stripes.

ment will follow swiftly and surely.
The complaint in the case is based
upon the last paragraph in his Satur-
days article. 1t is unfit for publica
ton in any respectable journal and
on that account is not reproduced.
With this statement the charges OF
Mr.. Snyder are submitted to the
courts.
