BY the PenfGentiary Board-The Con.
tention Between the Board and the
State Treasurer-A Bold Robbery.
Second Regiment Eneampment
Messenger Bureau,


Raleig. N c.. July Il.
The penitentiary made a statement
today Of the amount OF money 1t has
drawn his year up to July 18th, as fol-
lows: The balance on hand January
1st. $500; the special appropriation
Of 1854, and 1851 OF the appropria-
ton of 5000 to pay the expenses of
the year 1899. There remains undrawn
for use during the remainder OF the
year $14, 452.
The superior court decides against
the state treasurer in the suit TO force
him TO pay the penitentiary debt war
wants, Sis, 600, up to March eth. He
appeals to the supreme court. The
creditors are clamoring for their
money. He today prepared a blank
form Of affidavit to be sent to each
creditor, so the latter can swear that
his warrant is for debt due on or be-
fore December 81, 1898. Upon return Of
such affidavit he will pay the warrant
There is still a sharp clash between the
treasurer and the executive board of
the penitentiary about the debt mat
ter. Neither will recede an inch.
The state charters the Union Lumber
Company of Macon county, capital $50
600.

in the eastern part of the city, near
the Soldiers Home, got into the place
by means of a ladder and a second
story window, robbed the store, loaded
the goods in the wagons, then set fire
to the place and got safely away.

Series OF wire s~prlnrs-How a bridge
is ACKNOWLEDGMENT and Time
piece.


Every year between 4S0, 900, 900 and
500, 00O, 900 pounds Of Australian wool
are imported into Great Britain, says
Good Words. There are also imports
from South Africa. South America and
other countries, making the total an
nual importation about 500, 000, 900
pounds. More than half OF this vast
quantity OF raw material Is retained
for home manufacture, but we let o
than half the colonial wool go abroad.
The Australian woods are among the
finest, and are much sought after by
continental manufacturers. Every
country, almost every district, has its
W kind Of wool. It depends on breed
and climate, the character Of the coun-
try and the nature Of the pasture. The
dry climate and short heritage Of the
Australian colonies produce the finest
deeces.
Wool comes from the prairies Of
South America full Of burs, and a
coarse quality is produced in South
Africa. The condition Of the wool as
imported is also, Of course, a prime
element in price. which depends on
whether it is greasy" or secured. -
"skirty" or "stringy," fatty" or
earthly The wants of manufactur-
ers are as varied as the qualities Of
wool. Buyers at the exchange know
exactly what they want and can esti-
mate to a nicely what they ought to
pay for It.

Novel Cushion Tire.

A cushion tire has been invented
which is composed of a series of coiled
springs and a series of plate springs,
both so arranged between the tread
and the rim that they can be easily
removed and others substituted, with
out the necessity of removing the tire
from the rim, says the Scientific Amer
lean.
OF the accompanying Illustrations,
figure l is a perspective view Of the
wheel rim, with parts broken away to
show the construction of the tire, and
figure 2 is a cross section of the tire
and rim.
On the rim there are secured by
straps a series Of plate springs curved
to form divergent arms Of unequal
lengths. The plate springs are so ar
ranged that the outer end Of the long
arm of one spring shall overlap the
outer end Of the short arm of the sec
ond spring in advance. Two sets of
coiled springs are also arranged
around the rim and disposed in alter
nate series. One set is secured to the
points where the plate springs are bent
and fastened to the rim. The other

A Now va OF nolllnr water.


1t is possible to make a pail Of
water boil without putting it on the
fire or applying external heat to it in
any way. In fact, you can make a pail
of water boil by simply stirring it with
a big wooden spoon. All you have to
do is to place your water in a pail
it may be ice water if necessary-and
stir it with a wooden spoon. If you
keep at it long enough it will certain
ly boil. Five hours of rapid and con-
slant stirring are sufficient to perform
