New Vehicle Wheel.

The success of the bicycle and the

attempt a resilient vehicle wheel, sim
pier than those in use. n promising
Improvement is described in an Eng
lish journal 1t consists essentially Of
two cOncentric shells at the hub, con-
nected by radial webs which extend
the breadth of the hub. Between each
two webs is inserted a piece Of India
rubber, exactly fitting the sector
shaped space. The outer and inner
sides of the hub are covered by circu-
lar plates. into the centre of which is
fitted the axle bearing. Bolts pass
from the outer plate to the inner plate
through the India rubber sectors. The
sectors. therefore, are interpOSed be-
tween the carriage. supported on the
axle. and the wheel. and all vibration
is effectually prevented.

FINE HoRsEMANSHIP
Made Horse Stand ON Hind Legs to
Let Car Pass.

A very thrilling exhibition Of superb
hOrsemanship and brute sagacity was
witnessed on the BrightwOOd road
near Washington. A young farmer
from Montgomery county was driving
home from the city, the horse attached
to his buggy being a magnificent AMI
NAL, about three years old. When
about opposite the car sheds at Bright
wood one OF the old wornOut cars
came down the track and reached the
spot at the same time. There was
fiat wheel attached to the car and it
made almost as much noise as a loco
motive, added to which was the hum
ming of the motor. The fine young
thoroughbred pranced and paved the
earth as the ear approached, but re-
fused TO advance.
Just at the instant the car was
passing the driving outfit the now
thoroughly frightened animal wheeled
around on the track and directly IN
front of the car. At the same instant
the horse made a dash for the track
the young man handling the reins gave
mighty pull on the reinS and almost
instantly drew the frightened animal
straight up on his hind legs. There he
stood paving the air. not more than
foot from the car. and in that posi-
ton he remained until the grinding
conveyance, crowded with shrieking
women and astonished men, swept by.
During these thrilling seconds the
driver in the buggy kept his seat, and
i'm the most matter-Of-fact way allow
ed the horse to place his fOrefeet upon
the earth when all danger was past.
Had the driver wavered for an in
stant and allowed the animal to be
hit by the car. it would have thrown
the magnificent brute off his hind legs
and undoubtedly smashed the buggy
and more probably killed the horse.
An assistant Chief of the Fire De-
partment and several of the men at
tached to the BrightwOOd Engine
House witnessed the incident. and
were loud in the praise of both driver
and animal Several of the passengers
i'm the front of the car were badly
scared as they realized the Importance
of the horse staying in the air and
not descending upon them with his
fOrefeet
