Wide Tires Make Good Roads.
From The Saturday Evening Post.

From The Saturday Evening Post
The Bureau of Road Inquiry OF
the United States government has
been making a study of the width
of tires prescribed by local and
national authorities in various
parts of the world. In France
every freighting and market cart
instead of injuring the high AWAY
improves it. Many of the tires
are ten inches wide. In the -four
wheeled vehicles in that country
the rear axle is fourteen inches
longer than the fore and as q re-
suit the rear wheels run in line
about an inch outcide the leyeI
rolled by the front wheel. After
a few loaded wagons have passed
over a road the hway looks as
if q steam roller had been at work
A national law in Germany pres
cribes that wagons heavily loaded
must have tires not less than -four
inches wide. In Austria the mini.
mum for similar vehicles is six
and one.half inches; in Switzer
land, six inches.
In number of states in this
country laws have been passed
granting rebate of highway taxes
to citizens who use on lumber
wagons tires not less than three
inches wide. On toll roads in
Kentucky and several other states
farmers hauling loads in wide
tired wagons are entitled to lower
rates than those paid by the own
ers of narrow.tired vehicles.
At an experiment station II
was demonstrated that it requires
40 per cent more power to draw
a load on a wagon with one and
one.half inch tires than on one
with three inch tires. With q
Baldwin dynam0meter careful
tests were made with loaded
wagons drawn over bluegrass
sward. In a wagon weighing 1000
pounds it was found that a load
of 324S pounds could be drawn on
wide tires with the same force
required to move 2000 pounds on
narrow tires. Moreover, the wide
tires did not injure the turf, while
the narrow ones cut through it.
In some parts of the country
pioneers in the use Of wide tires
have had to stand a good deal OF
ridicule. The manifest benefit to
roads, however, soon changes
public sentiment. The president
of a leading wagon manufacturing
company states that the demand
for wide tires is increasing every
year, Another company in the
same line Of business conducted
a series of tests, using Fairbanks
dynamometer carefully calibrated
and was convinced that on very
hard roads the preference, so fal
as draft is concerned, is for mar
row tires. In the effect upon the
roads, however, the wide tires
have the advantage,
A western community has en-
acted a regulation providing tina
any teamster who hauls n loaC
heavier than specified weigh
shall be fined, But as the aulhorit
les have no means Of determining
the weight Of Il load and are no
empowered to compel the drive
to get IL weighed, the utility o
the law is not apparent, In some
districts fines ~ high ~ $50 are
imposed for violations of wide
tire ordinances,
II has been suggested in som,
states TO assess n very low tax on
wagons with wide tires and u higl
one on those with narrow wheel
and thus gradually eliminate thu
undesirable vehicles.

1886 he located in Van Buren,, Ark +,
entering the Citizens Bank as book
keeper, and in 1892 was promoted to

, that the phenomenal growth and pros

his industry, faithfulness and business

and he was known and loved by all. As

He was married to Miss Bertha Alex

She was the ideal Of his dreams--lovely
in character and person, cultured in

she filled his heart with unspeakable

cept the Czarewich ard Retvizan, are

also be ready by June t. The entrance
to the harbor has been cleared and
small boats now pass in and out freely
from Port Arthur to Dalny. The forts
on the land side of Port Arthur have
been completed and are now prepared
for severe contest. or the few SOL
diers left at Dalny the majority have
gone to Port Arthur, and the only de-
fenss left here now are the mines n the
harbor. The attempt OF the Japanese
to land troops in Kin tshau gulf cn the
18th inst. failed, owing to insufficient
water to float the boats.
There has been no fighting in the vi
cinity of Port Arthur up to Saturday

Britain Claims Superiority in Matter
Of Building Ocean Scouts.
Washington, d. c.. May 23.-An in
teresting question is involved in the
construction of the three proposed
United tSates navy scouting vessels,
and British vessels; for the same pur-
pose. One of the American scouts is
to be built at the Mare Island yard.
Great Britain asserts that she will
buildi scouts of 1000 tons less than
the American vessel. and they will
carry about 600 tons of coal less and
will secure for the scouts and enduc-
ance or steaming radius of 5000 miles.
Two of the American scouts probably
will be equipped with the turbine en-
gine. The plans fer the scouts viii pro-
vide for little or no armor and Tor an
armament about the size OF that OF the
Raleigh. The American vessel Will
carry 1000 tons of coal and are expect
ed to have 1000 tons displacement and
an endurance Of 5000 miles. The Eng
lish are building scouts to have 5000
tons displacement 1t is said the Brit
ish ships will have an endurance OF
5000 miles and viii accomplish this on
370 tons of coal capacity The United
States torpedo boat destroyers lately
have been making trip to the Philip
pines, and the best they We're able to
make was ten miles a day. with only
800 tons displacement and it becomes
a simple arithmetical proposition, ex-
perts say, that the, British scouts under
their conditions Of displacement and
coal capacity will not have an endur-
anec of more than $3.50 miles.
