Yesterday, for the third time. the torpe-

TO standardize her screw in a trial before
the naval board. The conditions were I'M
favorable and after one brief trip over

Wide Tires.

Narrow tires are one of the large
leaks in farming. In some careful ex.
periments that have been made, it has
been demonstrated that ON q dry
gravel road 2l92 pounds could be
hauled on tires that were four inches
in width, while on the standard tires
--one and one-half inches wide-only
1000 pounds could be hauled with the
same drait. On hard, dry, smooth
dirt roads that were free from dust,
the draft necessary to haul 200G
pounds on narrow tires could haul
2530 on broad tires. II the road was
covered with two or three inches Of
dust, there was an advantage in mar.
row tires. II the roads are muddy
and Of sticky clay, aud firm under
meath, the narrow tire is better. II
the clay road is dry on top the broad
tires will carry 2200 pounds with the
same draft that will be necessary tc
haul 1000 pounds on narrow tires
On n drying road Of this character
the wide tires particularly show theii
merit over the narrow tires, for the
6rmer the road becomes the greater
is the difference of draft in favor OF
the broad tires. That difference is as
much as thirty per cent. on the best
road. The reason that the narrow
tire is better in deep mud is because
it has less surface for the mud to cling

Earthquake a Blessing.

Reelfoot lake is the largest body OF
water in the state, and it was formed
by seismic disturbances in 1911. Peo-
pie who do not live in this section
imagine it but a pleasure resort for
fishing and hunting parties, and do
not know that from it's waters at least
100 people gain a livelihood. There
are two wholesale fish houses here,
and several at Hickman, Ky, that have
wagons constantly on the road bring
ing thousands Of pounds of fish daily
for shipment. There are 1900 nets
in Reelfoot, worked by some 500 peo-
pie Taking all that are connected,
directly and indirectly with fishing
and hunting, at least 1000 people earn
a living from the lake.--Nashyille
