MODERN CAR WHEELS.
Care in Their Make and Their Term
of Life in Active Use.
From the Pittsburg (Pa.) Post.


Very few of the millions of human be-
ings who patronize the steam railroads of
this country realize the vast amount of
work which the railroad corporations have
done in the effort to perfect the modern
car wheel. No matter how palatial the
interior Of the coach or the sleeper may
appear, and no matter how solid and sub
stantial the framework may be, all depends
upon the wheel
1t must be remembered that no historical
sketch tells US the name and nationality of
the inventor of the wheel, and yet away
back In the dim mists of antiquity some
human genius perceived the vast benefits
that might be derived from taking
advantage of solid body in the form of a
circle, which, with slight resistance, might
be moved along with a heavy load resting
upon it.
The common cart, the farm wagon, the
carriage, the street car, the bicycle and the
locomotive, all work upon this princi-
pie. 1t was one of the most wonderful of
primitive inventions.
Today the common wheel-nothing less
than complete circle-is the base and
foundation of all our advancement. The
different railroad mechanics are endeavor
ing to make it still more reliable and per
feet, and the problems of centrifugal and
eentripetal forces and also the effects of
thermal heat have been carefully investi-
gated.
The Pennsylvania Railroad makes its
owl wheels in the Altoona shops, and
makes them very carefully. The rim is
chilled by body of water kept around it
in the casting flask, so that it becomes
harder than the body. They run set of
wheels 40, 600 miles on a passenger coach,
and then put them on freight car. These
figures are from memory, but it is in the
neighborhood of 40, 900 miles. That is a
very short life for a wheel, and shows
great care. They have one of their forty
two inch wheels that has run over 700, 900
miles, and a thirty-six inch wheel that has
run 600, 900 miles
But after this comes the question of the
effects OF polarity. A wheel running north
aud south will last longer than wheels run
ming east and west Men well versed in
the science of magnetism and the effects
of molecular motion have studied this prob
lem, but they have not clearly defined or
explained the phenomena which have
caused the variations.

Kerosene for the Hair.
From New York Post.


\ woman recently asserted that the fine
appearance of her hair was entirely due to
a persistent aud thorough treatment with
keroesne. 1t was applied regularly once
fortnight in the following way \ lit
tie was poured into a saucer and rubbed
with the fingers into the roots of the hair
The application was slow aud thorough,
the gentle massage of the roots with the
finger tips being needed to open the pores
for the absorption of the OIL The treat
ment was usually made at night, and the
hair afterwards tied up in silk handker-
chief. The silk handkerchief, RECOMMENDED
by hairdresses, is useful in retaining the
natural electricity of the hair. BY noon
of the following day the odor of the kero-
sene had disappeared, and in an annother
II hours the oiliness that followed its use
had also gone. The effect of this treat
nent on the hair was promptly noticeable;
that falling out stopped, and soon new
short hairs were found all over the head.
As the kerosene application was continued,
the hair became thick and smooth. When,
after several months, it was finally discon-
tinued, abundant glossy locks replaced the
dry and lusterless hair-the former condi-
ton still existing though no kerosene has
been used for two years.

Blasts From Rams Horn.

Hope is a tonic for patience.
Public favor is poor platform to stand
on.
Kind words take less breath than harsh
ones
A diamond is worth more than its set
tings.
You can't mend your manners with a
needle
Fear will finally paddock the lips of the
most fluent infdel.
Impatienoe kicks over the dinner pail to
get to the supper table.
College diplomas do not go as tickets of
admission at the pearly gate.
The prayer meeting promise not put into
practice adds lie to your guilt
Covetousness turns a man out of the
warmth of his own house to stand shivering
on his neighbor's doorstep,

At cafe group of gentlemen were
