SETTING TIRES.
The Old Way of Shrinking Them on
and the Modern Way

Inc oEu OF IN
and the Modern Way
The old way of putting tire on a
wheel was to shrink ii on. The tire
was made just Il tritie smaller than the
wheel and then heated, with the result
of expanding il slightly. When thus
heated il was crowded down over tbs
rim of the wheel and then cooled viii
water to keep il from burning tbs
wheel and also to contract il. Cool
ing. it was shrunk on To bind the wheel
tightly The modern way of putting Il
tire on wheel is with a hydraulic
tire setting p.ess.
BY this method the tire is made just
a trihe larger than the wheel. so that
il will go over the rim freely. The
bed of this press, upon which the
wheel lies horizontally, with an open
ing at the center for the hub, is com
posed of Is sections. radiating from
the center and in shape Ike he spaces
between the spokes of a wheel The
outer end of ca Il section is turned up
ward the turned up ends making a
continuous dange. or collar, all around
the bed of the press Each one of the
sections has under ii a hydra ulic cylin-
der, and the sections are all arranged
to work to common center In use
the wheel is laid on the press with the
cold tire around il within that turned
up collar. or flange. around the edge,
When the press Is set in operation. the
collar or fiange. is irresistibly contract

until the wheel itself has been brought

Name of Roads.
Road. in Good Condition.

w. CT. Nicholas, in New York Telegraph.
The public has small conception of the
work that has been going on for the last
two or three years, and is still going on
in railway b~etterments. The men in
trusted with the management of the i'm
pcrtant lines of railway have learned the
lesson that it pays to put their roads in
the best possible condition and that
money expended in strengthening tracks
and reducing grades is the best invest
ment they can make for their ~stockhold-
ers. The late President Newell impressed
this truth on the railroad world by great
work in putting Lake Shore in prime con-
dition. 1t was his hobby, and he spent
millions upon millions of dollars in per-
fecting the improvements, which We're to
result In extraordinary economies. When
he died ne had nearly brought his road
up to the highest standard and could say
that the traffic of his line was being han
died at the minimum of cost and with the
very least possible expenditure of energy.
His work was a model for other man
ayers to follow and they have been follow
ing Ii for years. 10 the vast betterment
OF every important system in the United
States and to the increase in revenues as
we'll as to the greater satisfaction of
patrons. Investors In railway securities
and the public in general owe TO Mr.. New
ell a debt that can never be paid.

THE WORK OF REFORM.
1t Progresses Slowly but Surely. and
Is Sure to Triumph FinaIly.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal.
Not for many a day nave 1 read an ed
itorial in the Journal or any other paper
that awakened more serious reflections
than the editorial in the Sunday Journal
OF Dec. Z. 1t spoke encouragingly of the
success Of the reform measures adopted at
our penal institutions. These measures
have been long enough tested to fore.
shadow great results, and 1t is exceedingly
agreeable to mark such DEVELOPMENTS IN
SO short a time. So far as the reforma-
ton of females is concerned, our Female
Reformatory has been longer at work with
satisfactory results. Whether formato
measures could be extended TO men was
a serious question. One thing struck me
in reading this editorial, though not men,
toned in the paper, as being very sig
nifcant. As a matter of fact no names an
pear in the working out of the problem
that had been conspicuous in former years
as agitators of reform. This does not
mean to disparage the work of agitators.
They seem to be a necessity, but their
sphere seems to be limited TO the work NJ
agitating alone. 1t has ever been thus.
The conspicuous agitators OF anti-slavery-
ism fifty to sixty years ago. were not con-
spicuous in working out the problem. Mr.
Lincoln, and such as he, though decidedly
a~nti-slavery in their convictions, had never
appeared in the roll of agitators. Indeed
they were almost TO the last victims of
severe criticism upon the part of the pro-
fessional agitators. The constant cry wa.
that they were in sympathy with slavery
because they did not adopt the extreme
suggestions of these agitators. The same
is true OF temperance reform. The men
who were most conspicuous as temperance
agitators a not figured much In the
practical application of the work of re-
form. This is evident to-day. The con-
spicuous agitators OF to-day assume that
they nave a higher degree OF interest than
they allow any other person to have i'm
the cause of temperance. Indeed, II Is a
part of their stock in trade to belittle and
denouncc the real workers in the temper-
ance reform. claiming that these are in
collision with the saloon. This seems TO
be inevitable In all works OF reform. A
professional agitator is not necessarily a
w~eak-minded person, but he Is ordinarily
very narrow. What he sees of the evils
that he would cure so obscures his mental
and moral vision that he fails TO recog-
nize the slow processes by which all re-
ferns are promoted. With him IL is an
easy matter TO revolutionize society. and
overthrow the usases and customs of the
ages. In this matter OF prison reform, Il
