Iron Tires for Autns

It IS generally admitted that al though the pneumatic tire is the weakest part of an automobile, it makes the pres ent day car possible. Yet inventors have been al work for years trying to perfect a solid tire of some sort that would take the place of the air-flled one. A New York inventor claims to have accomplished the object with a new wheel that has iron tires for the ground and the pneumatics midway be- tween the outside rim and the hub. Similar affairs have been tried a num- Der of times, but have been discarded mainly because of excessive weight. The inventor made an experimental trip recently. which showed that the idea is nearing perfection. The wheel is some what cumbersome in appearance. The principle of the pneumatic tube is there. but it is removed from the dangers of contact with the ground Midway be- tween the hub and the outer rim are twu inferior rims. between which rests a three-inch pneumatic tube. The upper rim is suspended from the hub by iron spokes, and an iron tire comes in con- tact with the ground.

Doings of Automobile.

There are 50 GOO motor vehicles in the crossed the Rockies and the Andes. An American car has been driven into the ocean from the extremity of the south ern island of New Zealand. The auto mobile has made its way into China and Africa. IL will yet be known in the Solomon islands. and the last remain ing cannibals will fly from it in terror. It has passed the Arctic circle. It will yet be skating around the ultimate pole prophecies Everybodys Magazine Everybody goes touring. Inns and res taurants spring up along the path of the horn. Many results, good. bad and in- different. have been attributed to the automobile. Certainly one of the most curious Of them Is their effect upon the great family hotels or apartment houses in New York or at least upon several or many of them. The builder of the first great family hotel' in New York explains that the class of hotels in question was built for wealthy men. Of course, the rent was even higher than the building. But now comes the devil wagon" as it's detractors call it. the bubble, as the frivolous college youth names it. and away whizzes the rich man to his home in the country. He may do business in the city. and yet have country home 40 or 90 miles away. He can go home in an hour or SO He finds 1t pleasanter to live in the country. Be sides, it is fashionable to live in the country. Let us not attribute too much to automobiles.

Having finished C, lay it in it's proper position on D, us- ing the dovetail cut on it as pattern by which to mark D. In this way any slight variations in c will be com. pensGted for in n.
 The same method must be followed when making the joint shown in Fig. o8. The saw must be used in both cases for cutting all shoulders, and the waste wood removed from the re- cesses in D and F with a chisel. In order to do this in F, at least two ex- 1 tra saw cuts must be made in the wood to be removed so as to allow the chips to come out freely without bind ing on and marring the sharp anga.s of the dovetail.

on the face side, as we have shown at A in Fig. 100, so that after the work is glued together the edges can be dressed true and even, without reduc- ing the end tenons below the limit of Is of an inch
 In the machine doyetailing so ex- tensiveiy used on factory-made furni- ture the tenons and spaces between are made of the same size. The req son for this is that the same cutter which is used to cut the mortises is also used to cut out the waste wood between the tenons. which makes it neces sary to have all parts of the dovetail exactly the same size On the contrary. when the dovetailing is done b. hand the tenons are made very small. while the spaces between the tenons are made large-the object be- ing to show as little end wood as pos s.bie. the tenon ends showing end wood on the side of the drawer This IS illustrated in the dovetailed pieces shown in Fig. go and 100

 As regards the spaces between the tenons, the rule is to make four tenons on piece four inches wide. as is shown on the finch drawer back at A. anl the drawer front of the same size at E, in which is given space of 1 k inches. If the drawer front is inches or BE inches the same number of tenons should be used, in which case the spaces will be correspondingly less, but as soon as the width of the drawer front becomes greater than 4 inchcs-say A. 10 5k inches, five tenons must be used, and when above 5l2 inches. six or more will be neces- sary. The examples we have given will serve the beginner as a guide. It must be remembered, however, that

Inauguration Dav.

The movement in favor of changing the date of presidential inaugurations from March to later time. preferably April 30. is taking on new earnestness and vigor. There is an energetic or ganization working to bring about the change. The governors of II of the 45 states have joined this movement, and a national committee having the mat ter in charge is arranging for meet ing in Washington in November, just before the assembling of congress. The intention is so to present the matter to congress as to impress upon that body the desirability of postponing inaugu- ration day 10 season when the weather is likely to be less indictment than on March 4. The idea Is to have the change take place after 1909. The good argu- ments seem to be decidedly in favor of the proposition. and doubtless congress will give due consideration.

RELIC OF ANCIENT LONDON
Picturesque Ruins Which Give an Idea of Fourteenth Century
 Architecture.

All Hallows in the Wall is one of the London city churches which have special interest for the antiQuary be- cause adjoining it is a piece of the old wall of London. The church itself. however, is not a thing of beauty or interest, Dance, junior, who built it in l165-67, not having been exactly great architect. says the London Graphic.
 The first church that stood on the site, it's north wall probably resting, as the present one does, on the ancient wall of the city, was built, it is said, in the eighth century, the city wall being then 500 years old. Later the church, of course. became gothic, and an old print shows it as small build ing with two aisles and a low tower Of timber. Old Stowe evidently thought little of it, for in his Survey he merely mentions the fact that the church IS called "Allhallowes in the Wall Of standing close to tEe Wall of the Citie.' After mentioning some monu' ments of his own per.od. and the iaet that the bounds of the parish contain 10 great extent of ground. and are "needles2e to be spoken of" he ends his brief account by recording the facl that MT. Andrew Ge2eway, the par son, used him there very ndly The New View of London 1703) says that the church was of the Gothic and Ius- can orders. and not having been con stunned by the late fire, is not so teau- tiful as those that are wholly new erected" The really interesting part of the church is its vesIy which formed in one of the bastions of the wall, and from which a fl ght of Saifs leads throus the no. tn wall or th7 church into the p bit.

shown at x in Fig. 100. The line marks the length of the dovetail tenons. the depth for the mortises from the ends of the pieces. and serves also as guide for cutting out the waste wood between the tenons. Spe- cial attention is called to the dove tail tenon as distinguished from the dosetail mortise. This is clearly shown in Fig. 99 and must be kept in mind to avoid confusion
 On the outer or face side of all dove tail work the tenon should not be thicker than h of an inch, as shown at 7 in Fig. 10i, but it is the custom 10 make the two outside tenons 3-16 of an inch, instead of ls of aR inch

 In Fig. 97 is shown one of the two tail joints, i'll which it will be seen that c cannot be drawn lengthwise from D, and in Fig. 9S we illustrate a second form in which the piece E may De drawn but cannot be lifted out of F.

the size of the tenons always remains the same as given above, the spaces between the t.nons alone being vari- able
 At A in Fig. loo the thickness of the piece is given at la of an inch. and we wish here to call attention to the fact that the size of the tenon on the back does not change with the thickness of the wood. which, if K or T of an inch. will still remain 5-lG and X of an inch, but the bevel or taper will be less. These rules were invariably observed ir all frst-clas5 work made by hand before machine dovetai,s came into use.
 After the gauge lines have been made on each side of the piece on which the tenons are to be cat. it is placed end mp in the bench wise and tte two 3l6 of an inch distances for the end tenons are marked on the front edge Of the end. Next space the remaining inside space into three equal parts with dividers. and from the points thus obtained mark the k of an inch dimen ions for the two inside tenons Then mark 5-16 Of an inch for only one of the outside tenons, on the back edge of the end. as shown in the extreme right-hand tenon at A. and with great care set the bevel Zig. 39l to a sharp line drawn from the 3-16 Of an inch mark in front, to the 5-l6 of an inch mark at the back. The angle thus obtained on the bevel will be the correct taper for the sides of all the tenons, which need be spaced, as directed above. on the front ange only The be,el. if correctly set. will give the exact size at the back

Word for the Theater.

There are so many things suggested fox the multi-millienaires to do that it is not strange they hal; and hesitate. But nowhere among all the objects in the vast range of American giving, from marble medical colleges to orchestral music. is the great cause of the Ameri- can theater to be found IL must be pret- ty low down. says the Boston Trans eript. to have earned so singular an isu- lation. In all the giving has anybody been known to set aside anything for raising the common level of American cultivation through the drama? And is not this specially puzzling. considering how immensely fond of the theater the American people are and how much money they spend in going to the play Perhaps MT. Carnegie would say that people must learn 10 read before they can get the highest good out of the drama. which embraces literature and the fine arts; while. of course. so mora a millionaire as Mir Rockefeller. who has probably never entered a theater would not wish to promote or ever couatenance anything so manifestls tending to immortality.
