WIRE WHEELS
SLOWING GAIN
Change From Wood Artillery Style Is
Coming, Assert Certain OF
The Experts


No feature of the automobile con-
struction this year is more interesting
to the motorist than the indicated
change in the type OF wheel. This por-
ton Of the automobile has been one Of
the least variable among a host Of
changing parts.
Since the days when the bicycle
handed down a heritage Of fine-spoked
wheels to the first little buzz wagons
at which everybody laughed and these
wheels We're superseded by more sub
stantial looking affairs of wooden rim
and wooden spoke, the trong, service
able, wooden artillery wheel has been
the accepted and expected thing in
connection with the motor car.
There are marked signs, however.
that a change is coming. Before the
winter Is out say many experts in
motor cars, one will see gliding along
the streets a sOOdly proportion of cars
supported on wire wheels of the mod
ern type.
For the most part these are of small
er size than the ordinary wooden wheels
and the car on which they are fitted
thereby acquires a lOW-hung raIzish
effect. This is. possibly one of the
things which has brought them DoDu-
larity, but their chief merits are str1ct-
ura1 ones. and the fact that thew are
without doubt, tire savers.
1t cannot be said that automobile
wheels have undergone any sweeping
change in the vast year in the matter
of size. Advocates Of both the LARGE
and small wheel are to be found
aplenty. Those who back the wheel Of
unusually large diameter are Tor the
most part the advocates of The nm
derslung type Of frame cOnstructi0T,
They claim that the large wheels Give
a secure footing on the road: that fbev
grip well, in other words. and thar
they more than make u for the in
creased original tire cost on account
of this feature and because of service
rendered
On the other hand, the small wheel
followers point to the effective work
on hills, to the tendency to brine cars
low to the ground. which can be ac-
cOmplished with smaller wheel dame
ter without any changes in the frame
and to the lower cost of upkeep. as
small tires are less expensive in the
first place.
1t is also commended that the small
wheels are safer, especially on curves
and that t-ey have less tendency to
dish" This however. is going rather
far afield for an argument unless one
is speaking Of racing cars, for the num-
Der of dished wheels. save in cases Of
collision, as compared with the number
of machines in operation, is so small as
to be hardly worthy Of consideration.

BIG INCREASE IN
MOTOR TRUCK USE

This is going to be a record breaking
year in the purchase and use Of motor
trucks unless all present indications
fail. The business men Of Chicago anc
throughout the Central states are
deeply interested in the subject Of
power trucks and delivery wagons, not
merely as Investigators. but with the
present intention of buying machines
either at once or within the year.
Letters by the hundred are pouring
into the headquarters Of the National
Automobile show at Chicago from man

CURBS THE SAN JOSE SCALE
State Geologist Discovers Parasite
That Clears Orchards of
the Pest.

Gettysburg, Pal. A. Surface, state
geologist, announces that he and his
inspectors have discovered and are
propagating remarkable internal
parasite of the San Jose scale that is
clearing up this dreaded horticultural
pest throughout the eastern quarter
of Pennsylvania.
In making the announcement of the
discovery, propagation and dissem-
ination of an effective enemy of the
San Jose Scale" said Professor Sur
face, Il am announcing by far the
most important horticultural event in
America for the entire year.
This parasite, which is a hymen-
opteron. very minute wasplike in
sect, has cleared UP the scale entire
" in most orchards of the counties of
Franklin, Cumberland, Adams, York,
Dauphin, Lebanon, Lancaster, Berks,
Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Del
aware. Orchards that were badly in
tested by the scale year ago are now
entirely free from it. Entire nurs-
cries that could not get state certifi-
Gates year ago because of bad in
lection, are now SO clean that the
best inspectors have been unable to
find a living scale in them this sea-

MOTHER SLAIN; BABY UNHURT
Infant Has lnexplicabIe Escape From
Death in Five-Story
Fall.

Paris.-The concierge of house in
the Rue des Pyrenees heard the sound
of a fall in the courtyard the other
morning. Rushing out, he found the
body of Nine. Coquelet. a fifth floor
tenant, lying against the wall, and her
baby crying close by. On being car
ried to hospital the woman died i'm
mediately. but the child was miracu-
lousy unhurt, except that its lip was
cut by a broken tooth.
Coquelet was still in bed when his
wife rose to make the coffee, and the
next thing he heard was that the body
had been found below the kitchen win
dow, out of which she must have
thrown herself with the baby clasped
in her arms. The only explanation Of
fered by the widower is that his wife
must have been laboring under fit of
neurasthenia, as he never had the
slightest reason to suspect any sui
cidal intention, nor was there the
slightest motive for her taking her
life. The escape of the baby is mex
plicable.

HEARD FLUTE 400 MILES OFF
Captain of Steamer SoIfeis Reports
Odd Incident Of Wireless While
at Sea.

Philadelphia. = An unprecedented
phenomena in wireless telephone and
telegraphy was told by Captain
Schmidt of the German steamship Sol
fels. who reports while bound from
Calcutta and Ceylon to Philadelphia
he heard the clear notes Of a flute
at st. Michaels, 395 miles distant
from the Solfels. On the night of Sep
TENDER 20, Wireless Operator Blitz
called Captain. Schmidt's as we'll as
Chief officer Lampe's attention to the
fact that some one was playing on the
flute, the notes of which were clear
and distinct to both Operator Blitz and
Chief Officer Lampe. AS the nearest
land, the Azore islands, was approx
mately 400 miles away. all hands were
interested to know where the music
came from. The music continued, and
a wireless message was sent to st.
Michaels, the capital of the Azores. A
reply stated that it was national hol-
iday and the man at the flute was
playing God Save the King"
AS the wireless apparatus on the
SoIfels was of the Tellefunken type,
which is practically a telephone and
wireless telegraphy outfit combined,
there was no trouble in detecting the
sound, although long distance away.

CHAMPAGNE CAVES OF REIMS

Beneath the town of Reims-known
as the champagne city" of France
are the great vaults in which is stored
for proper maturing the worlds sup
ply of the sparkling, amber wine. The
caves are in reality a series Of tun-
nels and chambers followed out of
the solid chalk formation which un-
derlies Reims. From 20 to 100 feet
underground these drifts radiate in
every direction beneath the business
district of the wealthy little city and
their total length is estimated at about
$50 miles, or about equal to the sub
way mileage of New York and Lon
don combined. In the so-called caves
are usually stored about 150,000,000
quarts Of champagne of many differ
ent vintages. According to the French
wine manufacturers underground stor-
age is necessary for the proper matur-,
ing of champagne, as it is possible in
the vaults to maintain, with little
artificial assistance, an even tempera-
ture Of about As degrees, Fahrenheit,
all the year around.

CURVED JAPANESE ROOFS

Architects are very often puzzled by
the origin of the curves appearing
upon many Of the roofs in Japan, and
the ease with which carpenters can
so accurately construct what the Jap.
anese architect designs. The curve
Of a Japanese temple roof is about as
difficult line to draw as man has
contrived, but how the Japanese ar.
lists themselves succeed SO well In re-
producing it has never been explained.
Modern artists and writer's see In
these unique and beautiful curves
resemblance to the sagging outlines
of the primitive tents used ages ago
by the forefathers of the Japanese
race who dwelt on the burning plains
of China, hut there does not appear
to be any evidence to support such
conclusion. The curve is a catenary
the most beautiful, perhaps, of all
natural curves, formed by gravitation
when chain or cord is suspended be-
tween two points.

COPPER PENNIES ARE PURE

The copper cent is product Of
electricity. Almost pure copper is
used to make this the only copper coin
issued in the country. This pure cop
per is secured by an electric process.
In the old days it was a very expen-
sive process to refine copper ore, and
the resultant copper was far from be-
ing pure. Now this refining is done by
electricity, much the same way as
electroplating is accomplished. The
copper ore is placed in tank near the
positive plate of battery and the
electric current turned on. The cop
per is rapidly broken up into minute
particles, which are carried through
the water by the passage of electricity
and deposited on the negative plate of
the tank. The result is known as
"electrolytic "copper" which is the pur-
est known in the metal industry.
