Seriously, what has the Traction Com
pany offered as concession?
Transfers!
What kind of transfers?
What is the value OF the transfers?
In the ordinance submitted in the City
Council at its last session, there is Of
fered no protection to the city and no
privileges whatsoever. and if passed,
it would leave the Traction Company
in complete control and the master of
the city in so far as the street car serv-
ice is concerned
1t is unfortunate that the Traction
Company has placed Itself in the atti-
tude it occupies. If j, be unwilling to
concede what the people should have,
the people on their parf can and will in
sist that no further privileges shall be
granted to the Traction Company.
After all, the people have some rights
which they can and will maintain re-

The principle of the wheelbarrow Is
the same as that of the crowbar. For
example, If man is standing still and
is simply lifting weight on a wheel
barrow, then the axle Of the wheel is
the turning point or fulcrum. If the
distance from the axle to the hands is
5 feet and from the axle to a line
drawn vertically downwards from the
center of the weight is feet, then
the leverage is 5 to 2 or 215 to 1, and
100 pounds of force exerted upwards
by the hands will lift $50 pounds of
weight on the barrow If the load is
piled up over the wheel so that a line
drawn vertically downwards from the
center passes one foot from the axle.
then the leverage is 5 to 1, and 100
pounds of force will lift 500 pounds OF
weight on the barrow. This explains
why the small boy, and the big boy.
too, always loads this way.
In these calculations we have left
out of account the force necessary TO
lift the handles when the barrow is
empty; from 10 to Is pounds is neces-
sary for this in the ordinary barrow. If
the wheelbarrow is moved along the

road, still more force will be neces-
sary, and the amount will depend on
the load and its position with respect
to the wheel and on the nature OF the
road.
The barrow belongs to levers of the
second class and this class of lever is
identified by the fact that the weight
always comes between the force and
the fulcrum. Other examples of this
class of levers are the gate, the door,
and nut-crackers.
Long handles on a wheelbarrow are
a decided advantage.
In the ordinary garden wheelbarrow
the handles are about four feet long.
This is the distance from the axle to
the center of the hand grip. II a
weight of 100 pounds is placed on the
barrow in such position that the CEN
ter of ii is 2 feet from the axle the
leverage is l TO 2, or to l. The
hands lift one-half of 100 pounds, or
so pounds, that is. 25 pounds each.
II the handles were made feet
long with the weight in the same po-
sition, the leverage would be 5 to 2.
The hands would lift 2-5 of 100 pounds,
40 pounds, or 20 pounds each.

ably not been grained much in prep

spring crop. His body is covered with
a heavy winter coat, which causes him
to perspire easily. The first farm work
I'm the spring is the hardest of the

poorest condition to do the work with
out injury to himself The shoulders,
the neck. and the back become bruised
and sore.
Too much care cannot be exercised
in seeing that the collar is a perfect
At. A collar which is too large is more
likely to injure the horse than one
that is too small The collar should
be scraped each morning and carefully
cleaned before il is again put on the
horse. Before the spring work begins,
il is we'll to oil the harness and have
1t soft and pliable. For the first few
days of hard work on soft ground,
the shoulders of the horse should be
bathed in cold water every night after
the harness is removed. The horse
will be very sore and tired for few
DAYS and should be given every kind
attention. Watch the harness to see
that the draft is at right angles
with the shoulders. II IL is too low.
the collar will be constantly kicking
up' at the top and the horse will soon
have sore neck. If the draft is too
high. the collar will not rest securely
on the lower part of the shoulder,
where the horse is best prepared to
throw his weight. n there are any

SENTENCE.

The Current Events and Happenings
That Have Been Noted About the
State Briefly Told.

William Miley aged "a, who was
sentenced to serve Is years in the
Michigan state prison for robbing the
postoffice at Hillsdale, is the son of a
well-known Indianapolis family He
is also the inventor of a continuous
rail device for use on railroads and
interurban lines, which his family
values at $150,000 Since he was a
small boy William Miley has en-
ployed his leisure hours working with
different sorts of mechanical devices.
He has patented a number Of minor
inventions, but his continuous rail de.
vice on which he obtained patent pa
pers one year ago last month, is the
most valuable. Mrs. Miley, the young
mans mother, stated that she was in
possession OF a cigarmaking machine
which her son completed recently,
and for which she intends TO ask pat
ents.
When seen at the home of her
daughter Mrs. Miley said that her
son had never been in trouble be-
fore. She declared that he had al
ways been industrious, and that he
had no bad habits that she knew Of
knowledge of his arrest in Michigan
came as a surprise. Ii is thought she
is sufficiently recovered to prevent
her condition being made worse on
account of the news of his sentence.
Miley is by trade a cigarmaker. He
worked for a number of years at that
trade.

THE MECHANICS OF

II the handles were made Q feet
long the leverage would be 6 to 2
or TO 1. The hands would lift 1-3
of 100 pounds, 33 l-3 or 16 2-3 pounds
each.
Long handles then are an advantage,
as far as the lifting force is concerned.
They have still another advantage.
With the short handles. the slant from
the hands to the axles is sharp. The
force used In moving the barrow Is
exerted along this slant and about
one-fourth of IL is wasted in showing
about the wheel into the ground. The
other three-fourths is what moves the
barrow ahead. With the long handles
the slant is less sharp; therefore more
Of the moving force is used to move
the barrow and less is wasted in shov-

Long handles then are an advantage,
as to lifting force and also as to NOV
