Initiating Tires.

New light has been shed upon the ques-
ton whether pneumatic tires may be in
flated with carbonic acid gas-from a
small bottle containing this gas in liquid
form-without injury to the tire risk
of finding it debated, in short order by
leakage. Laboratory experiments of older
date on the diffusion of carbon dioxide
through sheet rubber left the practical
question in doubt, but recent tests by +.
Steinitzer, which are recorded in the Gum
mi Zeitung are more nearly conclusive. A
solution of ten to fifteen parts of glycerin
and twenty parts of glue in 100 parts of
water is recommended for producing
gastight coating on the inner surfaces OF
tire tubes. The tests related partly to
the absorption of carbon dioXide by rub
Der and partly to the passage of the gas
through rubber membranes, and it was
found that different grades of rubber be-
haved very differently. AS rule the
purer grades absorbed much more of the
gas than the mixed ones. The former
became more or less tacky and lost from
12.O to 21.5 per cent of their tensile
strength by exposure to the gas for a
period of five to eight days under a pres
sure ranging from 1 to 1.5 kilogram per
square centimeter.

greater care is essential. If the jack fails
when a tire or rim is being changed no
damage is likely to ensue unless the op-
orator has his fingers underneath. In the
case of the detachable wheel, however,
the car has some distance to topple over.
and the resultant shock received by the
stub axle will surely bend it. When
jacking up a car a level piece OF road
should be chosen. and, in addition to ap-
plying the brakes hard, the wheels on
the ground should be securely scotched
In changing a tire on one of the driving
wheels it is necessary to take on the
brake now and then to turn the wheel.
and it is at this time that the car is
likely to override the jack. 1t would be
an excellent idea if flats were left on the
axle casing to give good bed for the
head of the jack. With many modern
low-built cars 1t is practically impossible
to insert an ordinary jack beneath the
front axle and the springs have to be
relied upon, which does not render the
operation any safer.

The Louisiana Annual Conference.


The Louisiana Annual Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, which convened
in Monroe on Wednesday of this
week, has a warm place in this
EDITORS heart because of its
memories extending over pc
Rod of sixty years, from child
hood to the present time. The
editors father was one of the
men who Helped to organize the
Louisiana Conference in 1856, up
to which time the jurisdiction of
the Mississippi Conference ex-
tended over the Methodist preach
ers in Louisiana. The conference
as it is at present organized,
consists of six districts, about
correspon ding to the COMPRESSION
al districts in the State, each un-
der the supervision of a presid-
ing elder. Any one of the pres
ent districts has about as many
preachers in it as there were in
the State when the conference
was organized in 1855.
The conference at Monroe is
presided over by Bishop Mouzon,
and its session will last until
next Monday morning, when the
appointments will be read out.
Many changes will be made
among the preachers, the most
of them hardly ever serving more
than two years at one place, and
none of them over four years.
This is the distinctive feature of
the Methodist itineracy, and
every man is expected to hold
himself in readiness to move in
to a new field whenever the BIZ
shop and his cabinet so decide.
Likewise the congregations are
expected to prove loyal to any
man sent to them, no matter how
fond they may feel toward the
departing pastor; but in many
cases the congregations will show
their grievance, because they do
not feel that they are bound by
the rule of stoicism that binds
the preachers.

express companies and the railroads
would result from putting into effect the
express rates proposed b. tile Interstate
commerce commission. according To fig
ures submitted by the companies 10 the

Walter ID. Hines. representing the
Adams American. Southern, United

the present rates would cost the express
companies 5.s7 cents on every dollar re-
ceiyed by them, thus destroying al
profit and producing an enormous deficit.
The deficit. he said. for the companies
he represented would total s6,143,s2.

ume of business. According 10 Mr.
Illness figures, Tho proposed rates NEAR
