CURIOUS PENSION FIGURES
Three Relatives of Revolutionary
Wal Heroes Still Supported
by Uncle Sam.

Some of u pension statistics are
curious. For example, we learn that
there are still on the rolls three pension
ers OF the revolutionary war, which was
brought to an end over 100 years ago. OF
pensioners accredited to the war of 1872,
says the Success Magazine, there still
remain 9l9, while OF the Mexican war no
fewer than 1866 survive. OF those ae-
credited to the revolutionary war, one IL
a widow and two are daughters. The re.
port shows that pension payments are
made TO people residing In every state
and territory in the union, and in almost
every known country on the globe.
Among the states, Ohio leads in the
amount of pension money paid annually
to its citizens. with Pennsylvania sec
ond, New York third, and Illinois and
Indiana following closely. At the date
of the report, there were 4 1910 pensioners
residing outside of the United States,
and they drew $722,440.69 in the last
fiscal year. Nearly half of this amount
went to persons In Canada. Quarterly
pension vouchers were sent besides to
persons in Mexico, South America, every
country in Europe, the Azores, the Bar
bados, China, the Comoro Isles, East and
South Africa, Samoa, the Seychelles is
lands. Siam and st. Martin. 1t shows
that the pension bureau was a busy oficq
last year, More than 26S, 900 cases were
passed Upon, and $4,000 certificates
We're issued. No fewer than 10S,114 ap-
plications were rejected. of which S3,e00

WHEEL THAT A8SoRBS HEAT
Invention of E~nglishmau That Solves
Auto Difficulty--Cost Of Tires
Reduced TO Minimum.

L~.ondun,-if the invention Of a Mr..
Robinson. OF Beccles. proves, under
more extended tests, to be what he
thinks 1t Is, 1t would seem that motor
\ ISIS will owe him a vote Of thanks. Every
motorist knows that practically two
thirds OF the cost.of the sport is in the
tires, and as 1t has SO far proven impos-
sible TO use solid tires because of the
fact that In high speed cars the friction
OF the wheel with the road created Il SUI
ficient heat to contract the wheels and
allow the tire to run OFF, motorists have
been AT the mercy Of the pneumatic tire,
as being the only thing that would stand
the strain and meet all requirements.
Mr.. Robinson claims to have invented
d specially constructed wheel that in IT,
self offers sufficient resilleney and Is so
adjusted with springs as to take up all
heat contraction due TO high speeds.
thus permitting the use OF solid tires Of
either steel or rubber Mr., Robinson de-
clares be has d special set OF his wheels
on a nine horsepower ear, and had run Il |
ii distance of more than 1000 miles at a
speed of 80 miles an hour without the
