NEW AUTO TIRE INVENTED.

Washington, Dec. 17:-Tidings
from England herald the invention
of an automobile tire with all sthe
good qualities of a pneumatic tire
but containing no rubber. Th1s re-
markable step in the progress OF
auto improvements Is concisely de-
scribed by Consul General John L..
Grifdths in a report from London, as
follows:
"The springs are made of slightly
tapered strips of special steel colleo
spirally in such a way that the great
er part of each turn Is within the
preceding one and that under sutfi-
Gent compression the whole of the
inner coils can be forced within the
outermost one. To the surfaces OF
the links which roll on the ground
are cemented blocks of a hard COM
position of fiber and g~utta-pereha
compacted under pressure, and these
1t Is stated, can be renewed when
worn away at a cost of 81 cents TO
$1.22 for each wheel.
t'The aim of the invention has
been to initiate the action or the
pneumatic tire. An obstacle such as
O stone does not cause the whole
wheel to rise, as In the case with an
ordinary iron-tired wheel, but Is, as
1t were, swallowed up, the Link or
links Immediately affected yielding
by virtue of the hinges and bringing
into play the resilieney not merely
OF one or two of the springs, but OF
the whole Of them round the entire
circumference.
1.-The wheel Is intended for use on
heavy commercial vehicles and mo-.
tor omnibuses, to give them the
benefit of the pneumatic tire with
the employment Of no particle Of
rubber. Another advantage claimed
is immunity from side slip, while
dust is sucked up to a much smaller
extent than with pneumatic tires.
A short run in London traffic on q
pleasure car experimentally fitted
with these wheels showed that they
afford a remarkable degree of resi-
fieney, and 1t is stated that their eff
fectiveness Is enhanced at high
speeds"

POLITICS..
This is the way it is done:

This is the way 1t Is done:
Smiths lieutenant, "Jim" Nugent,
calls the Essex assemblymen togeth-
er for q conference. They are told
that 1t is their duty to invite Senator
Smith to become a candidate for
United States senator. Some of
them rebel. After four hours of
lashing they are all swung into line
and are compelled by the Smith lieu
tenant to sign an invitation to
Smith, as stated. Some of them re-
greet their action after it is too late.
Smith then takes the matter under
consideration. He processes to be
undecided whether r not to accept
the invitation. OF course, he Is very
grateful. The matter hangs fire for
some time. When Governor-elect
Wilson asks him to declare himself
he remains silent, Tired of waiting.
the governor-elect declares p~ositively
against Smith. Smith becomes high
ly indignant and speaks of the un.
fair treatment because he has not yet
declared himself.
Being forced into the open Smith
takes advantage of the invitation of
the Essex assemblymen to declare
himself a candidate. OF course, Mr..
Smith did not want the office, but as.
long as the eleven Essex assembly
men unanimously requested that he
become a candidate. he feels it is his
duty to accept, regardless Of his In
clination to remain in private life.
1t Is all so typical OF the under
hand method Of a party boss seeking
personal advancement, regardless of
the welfare of his country and his
party.

NOW 1s rHE TIME.

Governor-elect Wilson has. at
least, dene. n good thing. He has.
compelled former Senator Smith to.
come out into the open in his fight
for the office of United States sena-
tor. Smiths usual method has been
to work the underhand game
everything done on the quiet, all cut
and dried before hand. 1t is now
necessary for everyone to take a
stand n way or the other. The
legislators are either in favor of
Smith and all that he stands for,
which is the special interests, cor
ruption and a boss-owned govern
ment, or they stand with Woodrow
Wilson and the people.
To refuse to take sides n way OF
the other is to admit being a coward.
1t looks as If "big business" had
concentrated its efforts to elect
Smith to~the United States senate
from New Jersey, as an object les
son to all other reform movements.
proving its power to control In
spite of the greatest opposition. The
parting of the ways has been reach
ed. To stand by Smith or any man
he may select is to deliver the state
to the corporations which the people
have been fighting SO hard to down.
The only way to beat Smith is to
concentrate on some one candidate
1t possible for him to win whether
he suits Our personal ideas. or not,
James E. MARITIME has already had
the indorsemnt of over $4,000
Democrats In this state. This ought
to be a pretty good beginning. 1t is
mp to the people to rally around
MARITIME and see that he is sent to
the United States senate.
Having overthrow the Republi-
a bosses and their machine, which
has been so closely allied with the
corporations, the people find them
selves face to face with "the same
old gang" in the Democratic party.
Now is the time to make a clean
sweep of the whole business. The
voters had enough confidence in
Woodrow Wilson to make him gov
ernor, believing that he would be in
dependent Of the gang" Their 0 n
fldence was not misplaced. The
gang" however, is now fighting to
overthrow Wilson and the principles
on which he was elected. As Is the
case of the Republican party. plat
form promises amount to nothing to
the political machine. 1t is a ques-
ton whether the state is 60
ing to free itself from bossism, or
whether 1t has simply changed from
the Republican brand to the Demo
cratic, both of whom serves the same
masters the corporations.
Now, If ever, is the time for the
citizens to arouse themselves and
take possession of their own.

from the forest.
There were now six wolves In
sight, drifting out and in among the
trees like gray ghosts.
Soon one of these tripped lightly
through the snow down the river bank
and trotted along after the sledge on
the ice, like faithful dog.
7 "They show no signs of attacking,

"They are famished," said the prin-
cess, "but they are as patient as
death, and as intelligent as humans
They are too few yet"
A second and third joined the two
on the river, while the pack on the
bank steadily grew, and noiselessly
save for an occasional call into the
deeps for help.
The maid sat motionless, without
looking up or stirring.
Hardy lifted rifle from the bot.

CHAPTER XIII.
GRAY Ghosts.

That part of Siberia which lies east
of the great inland sea, Lake Baikal,
and west of the mighty Amur, which
here turns abruptly and bends north
ward, is known as trans-Baikalia. The
Stanovoi range of mountains, contin
uing to the south, divides it nearly in
halves, forming watershed that
feeds the lake on one side and the
Amur and it's tributaries on the other
The trans-Siberian railway, the
great artery through which the blood
of Russia flowed uninterruptedly
from Alexandrov to Vladivostok and
Port Arthur, pierces these mountains
at an advantageous point, and, pass
ing through Stryetensk, breaks into
Manchuria.
On a river in trans-Baikalia that
runs for many miles parallel with this
mighty ant-trail, a sledge was flying
eastward, drawn by three horses, all
abreast. The river was frozen to the
very heart and SHOWS, drifting
over it, had swept and polished
its surface till it was smooth
as glass. Wrapped in furs and his
head shrouded In a thick cap, the
driver sat on the forward seat, partly
protected by the high-curving dash,
and managed the lines. On low seat
behind him were a man and woman,
also wrapped deep in robes of fur,
while third woman sat silent in the
bottom of the sledge.
Somewhere behind them the rails
had spread and the road had given out
and the trains were halted while re-
pairs were made.
There Frederick CORTLAND Hardy,
on his way to Stryetensk, had over
taken the princess. Fastening to the
front, undergoing all hardships, en-
tirely forgetful of self, that she might
employ her strength, her fortune and
her high courage and example in the
relief of her wounded and suffering
countrymen.
She greeted Hardy with frank
friendliness, explained her mission
and told him that he had arrived just
in time to help her carry out a plan
of hers.
I'VE can take sledges down the
river" she said, ito Petrovska-ZaYod,

able to catch an outgoing train.
should have started before, but was
deferred by the fact that-that-in
fact, was afraid. Now. with my gal
liant defender of the Amur, l shall
have no hesitation in going. Will you
come with us-with my maid and
me?"
Yes" he replied gravely, Il will
go. l am overwhelmed By my good
