Hens do not naturally lay in winter,
but if they are kept warm and fed egg

because we meet the conditions neces-

we're passed through rings attached

were passed through rings attached
to be tied around the waist Of the char
ioteer in case of his having to defend
himself. The wheels and body were
usually Of wood. strengthened in places
with bronze or iron. The wheels had
from four to eight spokes and the tires
were of bronze or iron lin the present
instance ash was used), and the pins
which secured the felloes were of fos-
sill bone.
This description applied to the chariots
OF almost any of the nations of an
ttquity, the difference consisting chief
ly in the mountings. Thus the chariots
of the Egyptians and Assyrians, with
whom the bow was the principal arm
of attack We're richly mounted with
quivers full of arrows, while those of
the Greeks, who used the spear. were
plain except as regards mere decora-
ttons. The Persians and the ancient
Britons used class of charots having
the wheels mounted with sharp. sickle
shaped blades, which cut to pieces
whatever came in their way. This was
probably the invention of the Persians.
The use Of the battle chariot really
belongs to the heroic period. The war;
rior standing by the side of his chari-
Oteer was driven in front of the line to
invite hostile warriors to single COM
bat. After the strategic skill of COM
mander superseded the demands on his
personal va!or the chariot was trans
fcrrcd from the battlefield to the nip
podrome where alone it's original form
was preserved. The description OF the
Homeric battle chariot therefore to a
great extent also applies to the historic
chariot of the race course. The small
diameter of the chariot wheel may be
explained from the desire of prevent
ing the chariot from being opposed by
the impediments in the battlefield such
as debris or dead bodies. The rim was
usually formed Of four felloes in which
the four sDOkes were let. The upper
rail which was Of either wood or metal,
varied greatly in form, and was in
tended to he grasped by the warrior
on jumping onto the chariot. while the
front part served for fastening the
reins and the traces of the wheel
horses" In the Roman triumphal
chariot covering Of leather served to
ward off missiles, and later on the
sides Were composed of strong boards.
Unfortunately we know very little of
the vehicles of everyday use. They
nearly all seem to be a variety Of what
We now term the gig"

WILL WELCOME TRAMPs.
stroudsburg Is Preparing Ball and
Chain for Visitors.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, March 1.-The tramp
question Is likely to be settled at an
early day. Both Of the two new mayors,
of this town and East Stroudsburg.
have apparently solved the question.
They have concluded that the ball and
chain is just the thing for tramps.
Mayor-elect Staples, when asked
about the new solution to the tramp
question, said: "a ball and chain
would be just the thing. with a little
stone breaking thrown In. The tramps
are imposing on our people and need
curbing, and at once. As soon as I am
sworn in, I shall advocate the matter
before the borough council" Mayor
elect Puterbaugh. Of East Stroudsburg,
is equally as outspoken as Mayor-elect
Staples. Mayor Puterbaugh said: Most
emphatically do think ball and chain
would be a good thing to rid these two
towns Of tramps. There are too many
of these hulking loafers about here and
these hoboes who call at back doors de-
serve no pity. They are tramps by
choice and not by circumstances. Put
me down as favoring ball and chain
and quickly, too"
