So&psuds on the Sea.

1t is in order to vary the phrase
pouring oil on the troubled waters
by substituting the word "soapsuds'
for oil. Experiments have shown that
soapsuds will reduce a sea almost as
well as oil. The first trial was made
on a freighter in a storm on the At.
lantic. A large quantity of soap and
water was discharged over the bow,
and its effect was nearly instanta'
neous, the height Of the waves being
so diminished that the vessel could be
managed without difficulty. The steam
er Senegal, struck by a squall in the
Adriatic, used soap and water with the
same result. Six pounds of soap We're
dissolved in two barrels Of water
This solution when dripped over the
bow made a quiet space about ten
yards wide. preventing the sea from
breaking over the vessel to any con
siderable extent.

The latest government reports show
that the total development in the Unit

power, the number of wheels being
52,S27, or an average development per

only proper to state that the Niagara

making up this large total. The state

is California, the total being ACC, TAT

by 2,797 wheels, averaging 1913 horse

The reports show further that the
total available power Of the surveyed

is connected to the rear wheel Of tho
bicycle. An ingenious pivoting ar
rangement allows the wheel q peculiar
lateral and vertical movement, so that
the steering of the machine is in no
way affected, and permits the wheel
to glide over obstacles or rough ground
without transmitting any shock or vi
bration to the rider.
The motor is a small air cooled, hori-
zontal, two stroke engine with a spe-
cially designed hub, to which the pow
er is transmitted through a six to one
reducing gear. The magnetic ignition
and vaporiZer are mounted on the same
plane and in line with the engine, so
that the whole il rendered very CON-
pact.
The engine is %vaIveless. the inlet
and exhaust being governed by ports,
alternately covered and uncovered by
the piston. 1t develops one and three
quarter horsepower.
To attach the motor wheel to the
ordinary cycle 1t is only necessary to
remove the nut Of the back wheel
spindle on the chain side Of the ma
chine and TO attach the frame of
the auxiliary wheel to the spindle
and bolt it up, an operation occupying
q few moments. A single lever regu-
lator controlling the motor is clipped
to the handle bar, the connection with
the motor mechanism being a flexible
wire. This single lever controls the
action Of the engine to a nicely.
The wheel complete weighs only
twenty-five pounds, and the motor is
capable of driving the bicycle at an
average speed Of sixteen miles per
hour on an ordinary road, with a max
imum speed Of about eighteen miles
on the level. The fuel tank in the mud
guard is of sufficient capacity to carry
the motor 100 miles.

that the statesman from Nebraska
dislikes cigarettes intensely and comes
almost to the point of disliking those
who use them. He told the story
around the capitol, and now Senator
Burkett is being confronted almost
hourly by some friend who begins the
conversation by offering him a ciga-

Formerly the senator found it pos

the outgo is 20 large that he has a
