Ball Bearings.

The use of ball bearings has caused
SO much less friction in vehicles Of va
rious kinds that new devices with this
same object in view are looked upon
with great interest. A manufacturer Of
the round bearings, with which cyclerS
and others are SO familiar, has recently
been experimenting on another line.
The new device consists Of small steel
rollers instead Of balls. These are held
in bronze cages. The idea has been
tried on the wheels Of heavy vehicles.
notably Omni5uses in England. 1t is
reported that with these roller bear
ings one man may start an omnibus
with very little effort. There is no rea-
son why roller bearings properly Gagged
and adjusted should not have quite as
little friction as the round balls. There
are many bits of mechanism where the
slender steel roller would. according TO
all practical ideas, be even more effect
i've than the balls. The wheels Of heavy
trucks are to come In for the next series
Of experiments, and if successful there
is talk Of trying them on the wheels Of
locomotives and other rolling stock
where weight and pressure are tre-
mendOus. 1t is believed that the USE
Of these roller bearings on locomotives
alone would save large proportion Of
the wear and tear to whicAathese pom
derOus machines are subjected. If the
theory of the roller bearing is a good

The Douglas Shoe.

The best advertised and consequently
the best known shoe in the world to-day
is undoubtedly made by the w. l.. Doug
las Shoe Co. OF BrocktOn, Mass. The one
idea of this company has always been to
sell shoe for $3.50 which equals in ev-
cry way the $5 shoes Of any other con-
cern. They are able to do this on account
Of there being no middle mans profit. as
the goods are sold direct from the factory
to the wearer. In sixty of the principal
cities Of the country they have their own
retail stores The goods are made in all
sizes and widths, and few shoes equal
them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs over
1,1O0 hands. and all labor troubles are
settled by the State Board of Arbitra-
ton. Nothing but union labor is en-
ployed, and pay about the best average
wages Of any shoe workers in the United
States The factory pay roll amounts to
$17, ,435 per week. This company makes
shoes for men only, and it is their proud
boast that over one million men wear
them.-Denver (COlO) Post.

Rat-CatchinR Snakes.

They appear to be turning snakes to
good account in Brazil, for rats have
become SO abundant that a domestic
snake, the gibOya, which has about the
circumference Of the arm, is sold in the
market-place in Rio Janeiro to be kept
In the house as a protection against
rodents. 1t would seem that the SER
pent pursues its prey more for the
pleasure there Is in II than from a senss
Of hunger, since it is said that it rarely
eats the rats caught. Similar in its
habits and attachments to the domestic
cat of more northern ATTITUDES, the
giboya will, 1t is said, find its way back
to the house Of its master, even if trans
ported to q considerable distance.

men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their

grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring
handsome profit; where the climate

easy terms.

CHAINED ro a Rad BEAR.
Decidedly Unplea asant Experience of /,
Maine Moodman.

Maine 0OOuuan.
Milton Pike had bear trap set up
near Locatean on the biggest hill to the
south of the stream. 1t was near the
bears den, which was hole or small
| cave in the ledge. The old lady had two
paths leading from the mouth of her
den. and when Pike set his trap in one
she travelled by the other route. says
the Lewiston journal. Pike had an
other trap. but it was not provided with
a chain long enough to attach it prop
erly to clog. After thinking the mat
ter over a while he set his trap at a
point where the two paths come hear
together. Then lie set the trap with
the short chain IN the other path. and
stretching the few links across the in
tervening space attached it TO the long
er chain, which had a clog attached.
But two days later Jerry Perkins
came along the trail not far from the
hillside. He had an AK and SaiG he was
whistlng and enjoying an hour of fair
weather. which by some chance visited
the section that day. Jerry was des-
tined to meet that bear and he did. He
saw the animal was in the trap, and
that the clog had stuck fast in some
bushes. Thinking it would be n very
easy matter TO advance and knock the
bear on the head. he proceeded to do
so. His AK hit the bear quite thump.
but as she lodged the blow took effect
a little lower on her skull than the
ho int IaI = chA,,l1 M
just as the blow fell Jerry heard a
strange sound in the neighborhood OF
his feet, and he found a bear trap on
his ankle. The bear had gone such n
short distance before being brought up
by the clog that the other trap had not
been sprung.
Perkins found himself hitched to an
ugly old she bear, with cubs only a few
rods away in q crevice in the rock. The
bear was fresh, having dragged the
clog no distance, and she went at Jerry
in very businesslike manner. Again
the AK was brought down on her head,
this time with better effect than be-
fore. Before the third and final blow
could be struck she had lacerated the
flesh of MIR. Perkins left leg. The man
got out of the trap after some diff
Guilty. He could move about enough
to cut a sapling. and with this as a
lever he put the spring down SO that
the jaws fell back and released him.
He and Pike divided the proceeds Of
the catch, one taking the skin and
bounty and the other the meat An
attempt to get the cubs was unsuccess-
full. the little fellows being big enough
to run away.
