new AUTOMOBILE TIRE.

Combination Of Solid end Pneumatic
With Extra Heavy Tread.
A new tire has made its appearance,
which is q sort Of combination of solid
and pneumatic. 1t is not unlike the
ordinary tire, for which 1t can be sub
stituted without alteration in existing
standard tire rims. Its principal point
Of difference lies in its enormously
thickened tread and in the unusual
manner in which the tread L. formed,
says the Scientific American. The
tread itself is four or five times as
thick as the normal tread, and formed
in 1t there are a number Of very deep
indentati0ns alternating on either side
and overlapping slightly at the center
Of the tread. Between these indenta-
lions. at the sides. there are other
scOoped out places, the purpose Of
which is to assist in the radiation Of
natural heat. BY means Of the deep
indentations it is pointed out that the
principal drawback to the solid tire.
barring its lack of resiliency. Of course.
Is eliminated.
This drawback, it may be explained.
is due to the fact that the weight Of
the car and its progression force a
ridge or wave Of rubber around the
tire just in front of the point Of con-
tact between the tire and the road, the
net result being that the tread soon
loosens itself from the base and comes
away. The indentations. it is claimed.
do away with the travel of this wave
by permitting distortion to take place
and allowing for the return of the rub
Der to it's natural form. Incidentally
their edges provide a means for the
tire to bite its way through mud or
water and scrape an acquaintance with
the roadway itself. Consequently the
tire is practically nonskidding.
The thickness of the tread obviously
accounts for the fact that the tire is
more than ordinarily resistant to pune
lures and blowouts, and SO confident
are the makers that the tire will not
only stand up in service. but will stand
up an unusually long time to boot. that
they unreservedly guarantee it for
5000 miles. 1900 more than the manu-
facturer Of ordinary tires. Despite
the heavier tread Of the tire. which is
used with the ordinary inner tube, its
weight averages only about 10 per cent
more than the weight Of the orthodox
tire.

months Of the year there is little call
for broilers.
A chicken ceases to be a broiler after
it exceeds two pounds In weight.
dressed. It then enters a class known
as spring chicken. The general de-
mand is for birds that will not excel
one and one-half pounds. dressed.
March usually calls for n and ne-
quarter pounds, April for n and one
half and May for one and One-quarter
to two pounds.
The broiler for the winter marke:
must be attractive looking to command
a ready sale at good prices. Plump
chickens, neatly dressed, free from pin
feathers, with unsoiled skin and with
perfectly clean legs, will find a ready
sale, while poor stuff goes begging. A
fat broiler is q rarity. The best that
can be done, generally, is to have them
plump, for the natural tendency of the
chick Is to use all nutriment for growth
and development. The main point II to
grow them rapidly.
Some broiler raisers are finding great
virtue in cottonseed meal. 1t is claimed
that, while it does not fatten, It puts on
flesh. The breast Of the broiler at ten
weeks old, 1t is said, will be as plump
as a partridge's If a small amount of
the cottonseed meal is given daily.
One of the most practical broiler ex-
perts the first day gives nothing but
wheat bran to peck at. The next day
rolled oats are given. and this is contin-
ued until the chicks are ten days old.

oyster shell by them all the time. The
chicks are fed every two hours all they
will eat up clean. After ten days he
feeds a moist mash in the morning and
evening composed Of cornmeal, mid
dlings, bran and ground oats, with
meat scraps in proportion to the age Of
the chicks. It is best to give these
parts by weight. At noon he feeds
wheat or cracked corr and keeps green
stuff by them. 80 they can eat all they
want, until the last two weeks.

COAL MINING
Much More Economical Than the OLE
AandWork Method.

Much More Economical Than the Old
Handwork Method.
Coal is mined by the aid of three
classes Of air driven machines-6rst.
common drills. such az are used for
rock drilling; second. pick machines.
which work on much the same princi-
pies as air drills, but which are larger
and are used for cutting continuous
slots instead of holes. and. third. con-
tinuous cutters. which work with a
rotary instead of a reciprocating no.
ton.
The production Of bituminous coal
by machines in the United States dates
commercially from 1901. when 545 ma
chimes cut 6.211.00O tons of coal. or
6.66 per cent of the entire output. In
1910 174.O12.OOO short tons. or Alt per
lent Of the total production. were
mined by machines. Of which 1924
were in use.
The eason for mining by machines
instead of by hand are many and are
often complicated by local conditions.
In general they are about as follows:
First. the actual cost Of mining is low
er; second. the quality of the product
is superior; third. the industry is at
tended with less danger. and working
conditions are improved. and. fourth.
the mine may be more rapidly devel-
oped and the production increased.
In mines Of the Pittsburgh thin vein
district. where 200 miners would get
out 700 tons of coal per day by hand.
fifteen pick machines would do the
same work. The cost of the entire
plant for running the machines would
be about $4,000. and the yearly main
tenance would cost about $500. The
saving would amount to about Is cents
per ton Of coal. or $4,000 total In a
year of 200 days.

WHY POPCORN POPS.

Why popcorn pops is not fully IN
derstood. Formerly it was supposed
that the popping resulted from the x
pansion Of oil In the kernel on being
heated, but more probably It b due to
the expansion Of moisture contained
In the starch cells. The moisture ex-
pands when heated with sufficient
force to cause an explosion Of the cells,
and the kernel turns completely inside
out, e~nveloping the embryo and hull.
Probably the expansion Of the air with.
n the seed coat also plays some part
II the process.

DETECTING Apparatus Sends incoming
Air to Top Of Room.
An apparatus for changing the direc-
ton of a current of air with the mini
mum loss in the velocity Of the same
has been recently designed and pat
ented.
In this detiector Il series Of curved
vanes are placed at equal distances
from each other. presenting their
edges to the current and dividing the
same into independent strata. Each
independent portion impinges against
a vane and after being slightly de-
tiected proceeds to the end Of the pro-
tected paSSage without further loss of
energy due to any infringement of
the balance OF the current. The en-
ergy actually lost. %neglecting skin fric-
ton. is due to the infringement Of the
strata against the lower portions Of
the vanes.
An application Of the above principle
is made for windows. With this de-
vice the wind is detected to a vertical
current inside OF the room with q loss
of only 1873 per cent of its velocity.

A cause Of leaky tire valves which
IL not always appreciated is the fact
that sometimes the wire pins are q
little too long. When this is the case
and the valve cap is screwed home
the rubber washer in the head Of the
valve cap Ia forced a little way down
the hollow valve stem and touches the
wire pin. so pushing the valve of its

CONCERNING CARNOTITE.
Rare Mineral From Which Rsdium 10

NANNY Oeeoveo.
Carnotite. the principal source Of ra-
diO-active substances. is an ore of vana-
dunn and uranium, named for q presi-
dent Of France. Its principal occur
renee in the United States is in Colo
RADIO, where much ore is mined and
milled. Some carnotite occurs also in
Utah.
Carnotite is probably an alteration
product of pitchblende and is the min
eral whence the major portion Of our
radium supply is derived. says a writer
in the Engineering and Mining Jour-
nal. 1t was discovered by Charles Pou-
lot. late in 1887 OF early in 1888, in the
Roc creek Tor possibly La Sal creek,
district of western Montrose county,
Colo. In the beginning small lots were
shipped to a little wooden shed near
the east end of Champa street, Denver,
where the ore was treated by Poulot
and E. Cumenge, both chemists, who
were associated with NJ. V0illeque in
the rare metal business in Denver.
Poulot Travelled extensively through
Colorado and acquired a pitchblende
deposit in Gilpin county, which he sold
to the Roman Catholic Bishop Mach
bOeuf Of Denver. The latter died in
1890 and ~bequeathed 1t to bis successor.
Bishop Matz. who sold it in 1912 to
Yale college for $4,000. Poulot was
interested also in the tungsten deposits
Of Boulder county.
The uranium-vanadium mineral was
named carnotite in 1888 by Mr.. Pou-
lot, at the suggestion of Mr.. Cumenge.
in honor Of Marie Francois Sadi Car

birds eat this chopped corn fodder
greedily. 1t Is m Of the best green
foods for poultry that we have as yet
been able to find, writes Professor
Raymond Pearl in a recent Maine ex.
