WIZARD RRusH,s LATEST

A LANSON P. BRUSH, we'll known
II In automobile circles as the de-
- signer of the single-cylinder Cad
lilac, yesterday explained some new
and interesting points in reference to
one of his latest productions, the Oak
land two-cylinder vertical motor.
This motor is used on the smaller Of
the two sizes of cars made by the
Oakland Motor Car company of Pom
tiac, Mich. 1t is two-cylinder motor,
measuring AXIS, and giving, at con-
sentative rating, twenty horse power.
The cylinders are not arranged in the
familiar opposed" style, but are both
set vertical, and are supplied with an
ingenious counter balancing device,
which takes the place of two extra
cylinders in giving smoothness and
quietness.
Mr.. Brush made the point that be-
yond the question of balance and
smoothness of running there is no adj
vantage to be gained in four-cylinder
construction except added power, and
If a motor can be produced, as he has
done, that will give sufficient power
and at the same time provide for elm
mating the jerk and unevenness of the
traditional double-opposed type, the
advantage can easily be figured in the
reduction Of unnecessary wearing parts
and consequent lowering OF upkeep
cost.
The proof of Mr.. Brush's claims is
readily seen in the. smoothness with
which the Oakland Twenty" runs, and
it is only fair to add that this little
car further bears out its good reputa-
ton by it's trim modern lines, it's easy
control and it's quiet, steady transmits
sion. It is one of the best of the mod
ern type of efficient, low-priced family
cars which the season has produced.

Is
INTERESTING TOY

~ ONE years ago a little toy APP
peared in the market. 1t was
~ simply tube the diameter of a lead
pencil, open at both ends and provided
at one end with two downwardly
depending and forwardly projecting
fingers, which had upwardly turned
bends about an inch from the end of
the tube. A cardboard disk about an
inch in diameter is placed on the
fingers vertically, as represented by
the first position, SO that its center
rests against and thereby closes the
end of the tube. When in that posi-
ton it is impossible to dislodge 1t by
blowing through the tube from the
other end. 1t is an easy matter to
make a toy of this kind. Try 1t, and
you will find that the harder you blow
into the tube the closer will the disk
hug the end of the tube, contrary, 1t
appears to all the laws of pneumatics
and of fluid motion.
If a metal disk is substituted and
the whole immersed in water, and
water forced through. it is readily dis
lodged.
On the other hand, If the disk is
placed on the fingers about an inch or
SO from the end of the tube, as shown
in the second position, the slightest
puff of air through the tube will send
1t flying.
The reason for this curious phe-
nomena has never been accounted for.
Here is the explanation:
Air Is the most elastic of all sub
stances. When air is forced into the
mouth of the tube it Is taken from the
surrounding media at the end of the
tube blown into, hence motion OF the
air, outside of the tube, is set up
in the direction of the mouth
end. When the blast of air in
the tube strikes the disk the area Of
impact is the area Of the bore Of the
entire disk, so that at the first i'm
pulse the disk Is moved away a short
distance from the end of the tube, the
elasticity of the atmosphere permit
ting this. The air, therefore, escapes
between the end of the tube and disk
and is diverted at right angles to its
movement through the tube. This
movement of the air rarefied the at
mosphere just back of the disk around
the tube, and the disk tries to move
back against the tube and fill the va
CUM. AS now the impinging air cur
rents are diverted out at right angles
all around the disk, 1t forms a con-
volute ring and travels back to the
mouth end of the tube, as shown by
the darts, which influences the air on
the other side of the disk to move
toward the disk, and thus the two
forces, the one of rarefaction, the other
of compression, prevent the disk from
being blown away.
In the second position the air as 1t
issues from the end of the tube ex-
pands, and in striking the disk the
area of the impact is much larger than
when the disk was against the end of
the tube. The mass of air therefore is
not diverted by the disk at right an
giles to the same extent as in the first
experiment, nor does the column of air
issuing from the tube make a rarefied
area around the end of t. re tube, hence
the disk is readily blow away.

lin Willoughby of Alexandria, Va, at
present secretary of state of Porto
Rico, as assistant director of the CEN
sus bureau at salary of $4,000 per
year, was made today.
Mr.. Willough by, who now is in Porto
Rico, today cabled his acceptance and
he will assume his new duties in a few

MISSING Man SAYS
He WILL PAY DEBTS

johnson City, Tenn, July N.-The police
in every city in the south, in addition to
a number of detectives, are searching for
Foy W. Dulaney. the missing circuit court
clerk of Washington county, Tenn, who
suddenly disappeared from his home here
nearly three weeks ago. Warrants have
been issued for his arrest on charge of
embezzlement. and it is believed that he is
nearly $4,000 short as clerk of the court.
He left other indebtedness of probably
$4,000. He mortgaged or sold about all
of his real estate and personal property
before leaving.
1t is a singular coincident that Du-
1aneys stenographer, a pretty black
haired girl, left Johnson City the day
before he was missing, and has not been
heard from since. Attorney S. E Miller.
who had been appointed receiver for Du-
laney, found a note in Dulaney's safe
which said that he was going away to try
his fortune elsewhere, and If left alone
would. If possible. pay back his shortage,
but IL brought back the matter might be
worse.
Dulaney is highly connected in Tennes-
see and has wife and a 13-year-old son
here. He is about IS years old.
A letter was received this week bearing
a Nashville postmark but with the nota-
ton on the outside from the Nashville
postmaster, received under cover from
New Orleans The theory is that this Is
a decoy letter, and that Dulaney has
sailed for Mexico or South America. Sew
eral similar letters have been received
here since Dulaney's disappearance.

THOMAS WILL NOT

Senator from Barbour Decides Not To
Run for Office Of Lieutenant
Governor.

Eufaula July H.--(Special (-Aware that
the time was drawing nigh when candi-
dates for state offices should make their
announcements, and there having been for
some time rumors of the probable candi-
dacy of Senator Il. P. Thomas of this
city for the office of lieutenant governor
and knowing that he had the matter I'M
der advisement for several months, your
correspondent today called upon him to
ascertain if he had yet reached any con-
clusion as to whether he would or would
not be candidate. He said:
Many papers and friends for the last
| year or more have fiattered me very
greatly by suggesting my name and COM
mending me In connection with this high
| office. Many other friends have written
| me, and others in person have voluntarily
pledged me their support in the event
should become a candidate. Such kind
ness and compliments coming from such
sources l could not certainly be so un-
grateful as to ignore. and these alone
caused me to take the matter under Sc
rious advisement. l have delayed decid-
ing the matter In the hope that l would
be in position to crafty their wishes by
becoming candidate: yet. the more
reflect upon 1t the more am convinced
that l can Ill afford the sacrifice which
the candidacy would entail. The office
is one of honor only. and not of salary,
and yet to obtain it-assuming that
would be successful-would necessitate
not only the expenditure of considerable
sum of money In the payment of the ex-
penses of the campaign, but also the
abandonment practically Of my profession
al duties for some four or five months in
order to make that campaign. While
am profoundly grateful to my friends for
the interest they have manifested In me,
and while they have fiattered me into be-
lieving that l could probably be elected
should ! run; yet ! must decline to
make the race for the reasons stated.
Therefore, you are authorized to announce
that will not be candidate for lieu
tenant governor.
