Making Balloons-How Gold Beaters
Skin IL Made Available for the Pur-
pose-TestIns Drinking Water-Learn-
ing Run Motors.


The balloons are manufactured OF
gold-beater's skin, says the Pail Mall
Magazine, which though small toy
ones had been made of it, could not
be produced in sufficient quantities for
the large balloons until Colonel Tenn
pier invented and perfected the proc
ess, which is briefly as follows:
Tl-s goldbeater's skin is made up of
quantities OF a certain thin animal
membrane. go, 900 of these are required
for a balloon of 10000 cubic feet ca
pacity), which is first freed from all
fatty substance and then soaked in
a solution of glycerine and water. They
are then applied to boards cut in the
form and to the size of the gore OF
the balloon required; others are then
superposed until a thickness of four
layers has been reached. great care be-
ing taken that no air bubbles remain
between the skins. After this fourth
layer method CT Strengthening is re-
sorted to. in the shape of a net man
ufactured of skin. After this net two
or three more layers of membranes are
applied. The whole is then allowed to
dry, and a solution of boiled linseed oil
is used as varnish. The fabric is then
quite indissoluble, and the mem oranes
cannot by any possible means be sep
arated from one another. but some
times to render this homogenity the
more perfect, a solution of bichromate
of potash is sponged over the fabric.

Appeal to Cyclists Syndicate.

At the meeting of the Cyclists Syn
dictate of Northern France, recently
held in Paris. a letter from the French
riders who were disqualified by the
L. A. w. and fined by the U. V. F. for
participating in the last six-day race
in New York city, was read. The rid
ers wanted to know what would be
their reception if they returned to race
in France. and if they could ride under
the protection of the Cyclists Syndi-
cate. Edouard Taylor asked the syn
dictate to use it's influence to get the
fine of 5000 imposed upon him by the
l.. A. w. lifted. The members present
at the meeting made no definite state
ments as to the course which would
be pursued by the French riders syn
dictate. being willing to let matters rest

Frame Cushioned on Rubber Balls.

A Chicago man is the inventor and
recent patentee of cushion frame de-
vice in which the f1exing action of the
springs is supposed to be limited to
vertical movement. The inventors OBJ
iect is to relieve the machine from
strains and injuries caused by cushion
parts f1eXing in several different direc-
lions under heavy jolts. His PROPOSE
ton for accomplishing this object is to
limit the action of one spring by the
retaining influence of another placed
in different plane. The frame is sup
ported on hollow rubber ball cushions,
one of which is placed at each end of
both the front and rear axles. The
balls are secured between upper and
lower attaching plates which fasten
respectively to the frame and to the
wheel axle ends, thus forming the
union between the frame and wheels.
Around each ball and in a position
parallel to the wheels of the bicycle is
a circular spring strip, and at right
angles to it, but still in vertical
plane, is a similar strip. Each ball is
thus inclosed in two spring strips
which act oppositely on each other and
keep the ball cushion from flexing
with other than an up and down move
ment. The spring strip at right angles
to the wheel also keeps the rubber
cushion from f1attening to the extent
that its inner side would touch the
spokes Of the wheel. A pair of brace
rods running from the crank hanger
to the rear axle ends takes some Of the
strain off the supports of the rear
wheel cushions.

until the riding season opens. Sym
pathy was expressed for the outlaw
riders in America.
New Bevel Gear Device.

Some time ago Chicago inventor
brought out chainsdriven machine IN
which the usual two rows of balls IN
the respective ends of the crank hang
er were replaced by a single row OF
balls rolling in four point races placeu
centrally in the frame and much larger
in diameter than the common races OF
the standard type. Now an inventor
of Omaha, Neb., has obtained patent
on a bevel gear driving mechanism
which employs the same hanger pear
ing scheme.
The driving gear is secured to the
center of the crank shaft and com
prises two adjacent plates to the right
of which the toothed rim is fastened.
The two plates have each ball races
around their peripheries that match
corresponding races in the larger mar
row hanger bracket, the parts thus to-
gether forming a regular four point
bearing. That the bearing may be ad-
justed the plates are not placed tlghtly
against each other, but are separated
by a mat of leather or similar mate
rial Cup shaped nuts screwing on the
axle at each side of the pair of plates
are used for pressing the latter to-
gether when it is desired to tighten
the bearing. The leather mat through
expansion will cause the plates to sep

Visitors to Paris, who are in the
habit of travelling by the electric We
hicles now generally in use there, are
learning to visit the school where the
expert motorman learns to steer his
machine so deXterously through the
busy traffic of the Partisan streets At
Aubervilliers, near Paris, the Cam
pagnie Generate des Voitures has es-
tablished a motor track, about $500
feet long, upon which the drivers are
taught to steer the cars through paths
of difficulty. Looking at the course
one would feel convinced that could
the driver find his way with his ma
chine unframed through the innu-
merable obstacles placed upon it, he
would certainly have no difficulty in
passing through the eye of the needle,
cited by the biblical writer Part Of
the motor road is made of macadam,
part of wood pavements and the re-
mainder of stone-the three substances
Of which Paris streets are made-and
all manner of inequalities are intro
duced into this track. To simulate a
crowded street, life-sized painted board

dogs are set up at short irregular in

them to get out of his way; he must
learn to get out of theirs, and very
skillful1y he manages to do SO on the

their real living obstacles.

Ricycle with an Alias.

Bicycle manufacturers have always
found it a thankless undertaking to
attempt limiting their customers
among jobbing houses to any given ter
ritory in regard to the reselling OF the
manufacturers products. A jobber IN
ST. Paul, Mimi, and another In ST.
Louis, who buy the same manufac-
turer's bicycles under two different
names, but of Identical construction,
are most likely to clash in the state OF
Iowa. for example, or in any other ter
eitory whittier the travelling represen-
.atives of both firms penetrate. Ihls
FLASHING regulates itself SO far as the
Jobbers are concerned, but otherwise
for the manufacturer and for the deal
er. The latter, who has, perhaps
given a big order for the Blanque ol-
cycle from ST. Paul, is approached Dy
the drummer from st. Louis, VINO OF
fers him the Phoenix at lower price,
and investigation discloses the aDso-
lutte identity of the two models, par
ring the nameplate. 1t is evident TO
him that competitors m his own and
neighboring towns will be in position
to underbuy and to undersell him, and
he consequently StraightWay counter
mands his first order if he can. Fur
Their than this, he most probably re-
solves to order bicycles henceforth
only from those manufacturers who
sell to retail dealers exclusively. Much
of the trouble arising from such cases
Is manifestly due to the two-fold name
plate. If the manufacturer would re-
fuse his sanction to the alias-freely
translated, another name in another
place-jobbers would almost necesya-
rily manage to steer clear of each
other and retail dealers would not
necessarily look upon the manufacture
er as a culprit caught, even if they
are always inclined to consider any
manufacturer who does not market his
goods under a system that protects the
retailer as a good man gone wrong.

OIIinP Roads.

A novel use Tor petroleum is the oil
ing of roadbeds in order to prevent
mud and dust. Accident led to the
discovery that petroleum flowing over
a dirt road forms waterproof cover

smooth and hard. Experiments re-
Gently made give excellent promise
that country roads can be greatly i'm
proved by the use of oil. Many rail-
ways are now thoroughly sprinkled
with oil over their whole length.
