Oh One of the, reasons why pneumatic
tires gradually become exhausted,
even when ,unpunetured, is that the
compressed air within slowly escapes
through the rubber, and this process
is fastened byBtiret oxidation 9of the
rubber, which causes, it to crack. AS
at least partial remedy for this, it
has been proposed to Initiate tires not
with ordinaryIair. with nitrogen,
an inert gas which. does not; affect
the rubber, -. Tests of ,nitrogen-in-
fiated tires for automobiles have been
made in France, and the results are
said to be encouraging. arr

SUICIDE AT SEA.

James II. Clarken, one of the steer
age passengers on board the Alameoa'
committed suicide by shooting himself
through the brain on the early morn
ING of June 81, little more than a
day out from this port. No reason
is known among the steamship officers
nor among the fellow passengers OF
Clarken for the rash deed. He had
a considerable sum of money in his
possession. something over three hun
dred dollars, and was apparently
healthy and sane. Nothing in his ae-
lions during the early part of the trip
gave any hint of his determination to
end his life, nor does an examination
of his papers and effects throw any
light on the mystery.
Just before committing the final act
CIarken excited the suspicion of the
Waterman, who saw him examine
revolver and then stick it in his pocket
Even then robbery or possibly murder
was suspected. nut ouaSANSt "N
attempt was made to secure the
weapon. The man threw his guaro
aside. however, and went up on deck
He was followed, but the sailors ap
preached him cautiously, the revolver
being displayed at this time. Just az
the Waterman and the first officer ap
preached him. with the idea of DIS
arming him, he placed the muzzle OF
the gun to his temple and pulled the
trigger. Death was instantaneous.
1t was resolved at first to bury the
man at sea, but the suspicious eircum
stances surrounding the case induced
Captain Dowdell to have the body
brought here Yesterday his effects
were turned over to High Sheriff Hen
rv and a search was made to establish
the identity of the suicide. A Letter
addressed to him was found IN his
vaIise as well as bottle of medicine
with the prescription label of a New
York pharmacist on it. This will hell
trace the antecedents of the man.
