Wheels for Vehicles.

Attention has been called by tech
nical writer's to the fact that the
wheels of vehicles intended for driving
roads have not kept pace in develop
ment with the other parts of carriage
mechanism. Experiments with heavy
vehicles indicate that wheels should
be made higher and broader, In Eng
land it has been recommended that
with a maximum axle load of eight
tons the width of tire should be about
ten and a half inches. Increase of the
diameter of the wheel is said to be
more effective in preventing damage To
roadbeds than width Of tire.

MOST DANGERcsS LIQUID.
An Acid That Can Be Kept in None
Other Than Bottle of
Solid Gold.

A solid gold bottle stood on the
chemists table, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
I'm that bottle" he said, my hydro
fuoric acid is kept. Hydrofluoric acid
is used in glass etching. The etching
on glass thermometers is all done with
it. It is colorlaSs 1t looks like water.
But a drop of it on your hand would
bore clean through to the other side
like bullet. Its inhalation is sure
death.
"Hydroflueric acid can be safely kept
only in gold bottles. Sometimes bot
ties of India rubber or lead or Of plat.
inum are used. None of these, though.
is as safe as gold. Even when this
acid is in a gold bottle precautions
must be taken; it is volatile and
paraffin-covered plate must be clamp
ed tight over the bottles mouth. Also
the temperature OF the room must
not rise over 60 degrees OF the gold
bottle will burst
This acid, whose sole use is in
glass etching. is probably the most
dangerous thing in the world TO work
with. The steeple jack, the lion tanner,
the diver. even the Japanese and Rus
sian soldiers do not take their lives
in their hands to half the extent the
glass etcher does when, with his gold
vial of hydrofuoric acid, he etches
the scales on our thermometers.

this ruse would eventually turn out in

Without any preliminaries the re-

himself as stage manager. The play

and might have misled a far more ex

part, and repeated the words which,
according to the law of Scotland, made
her Barry Fergusson's wife.
Not until the conclusion of the cere

look of triumph in his eyes and said
with emphasis, "Muriel, | plead guilty

This rehearsal is all a hoax. and ac-
cording to the law of this country. you

Her face was a study of conflicting
