AN AUTO on TWO WHEELS
The GyroSc0pe is Applied to Motor
Gar,
(From the Literary Digest }

From the Literary Digest.)
An automobile. standard size, run
ming on two tandem wheels like a BIZ
cycle, and kept in balance by q gyro-
scope. has keen invented by Russian
named Schlcwsky and is described by
B.. Forbin in Lii Nature. Mr.. F'orbin
notes that neither the much -heraIded
gyroscope railway of Louis Brennan
nor the improvements made on it by
Scheri. the Berlin editor, have been
put into use as commercially practical
bic. He has hopes for this new modi-
fication, and gives in detail his reasons
for them. Schilowsky's monorail diff
fers little In appearance from its pred
ecessors, his changes in the mechain-
ism not being ordinarily visiblea In
addition, however he has built, on the
same principle. the motor car noted
above. which would appear to be q
new departure. Says Mr. Forbin:
The Characteristic principles Of this
vehicle are as follows:
1. The -gacoline motor of the car al
so operates the gyroscope, whose
weight Is only one-tenth of that of the
vehicle.
.. The energy consumed by the
gyroscope Is / IA horsepower.
3. The disk turns at the tate Of L.
200 revolutions minute. O.,
4. The gyroscope takes ub little
room and requires no manual control.
5. BY using Hanged wheels instead
Of pneumatic tires, the vehicle can be
used on one of the rails Of railroad
track. i.
Such vehicle presents great ad-
vantages:
1.1Absolute suppression, Of lateral
shocks on the worst roads, accom-
panied by notable dimunition of ia
tigue for tho paassngers. and or wear
for the car and its parts. The dura-
bility OF the motor is increased, and
lighter materials may be used in the
construction of the car.
2. The tractive effort Is diminished
consequently there Is an economy of
energy and of fuel With capacity for
an equal load, q less powerful motor
may te used !.
8. The bicycle automobile runs cas-
lily over the narrowest roads,,
4. The gyroscopic stabilization al
lows the vehicle to take horizontal
curves at high speed.
We have seen the bicycle automobile
run in the cnvirons of. London over
good and had roads alike, carrying
Elk passengers, including the inventor
and his chaffeur; and we admired the
tease-the animal intelligeinc
which the heavy machine regained its
balance, without the intervention Of
its driver, whenever curve or an in
equality OF the road disturbed Its
equilibrium.

THE SILK MILLS.

With the possible exception of
China, for which no complete statistics
are available, the United States is
now the largest silk manufacturing
country In the world. This position
has been taken from and maintained
against France since 1905.
The development Of the silk manu-
featuring. industry Of the United
States during the last few years is one
of the most interesting features Of the
courtry's progress. The phenomenal
growth Is shown by the fact that,
since the civil war the increase In the
gross value OF ouch products is meas
ured by the difference between slight
ly less than $4.O0O.OO0 and nearly
s2Oo.O0O,OOO
While cotton is the native staple Of
this country yet 1t may be surprising
to some to know the cotton manufac-
turing industry Is only six times as
large as the silk manufactures. New
Jersey mas soIne 566 silk mills os CT
per cent OF the, total in the United
Sfhtes -.
Some Of our waste hills back on the
river that may not produce even Ber-
muda grass might he given over to
producing mulberries and silk worms.
The original Huguenot settlers Of
this section produced silk here easily.

CONSIDER THE KNOCKER

One Of our exchanges said recently:
Newspaper men have hard time.
II we say nice things in our paper,
we seldom hear from them, but il we
make mistake. or IL some one fails
to SEQ what they think we ought to
see, the paper is criticised"
That's too sadly true. Its an old
saw that the doctor buries his mis-
takes, but tho newspaper man can't.
hide his" Did 1t ever occur TO you,
how few mistakes creep into the news
papers. I'm yesterdays issue Of The
Daily Intelligencer, there were nearly
200 separate articles and items. Is
there merchant in Anderson who
can can go on day after day. wrap
ping up 200 separate articles without
making some mistakes?
Newspaper workers are a proud
race of people. They love their work.
They are Jealous of its good repute.
And whenever you hear a sore head

what he says. He might be the big
gest and meanest liar in creation. The
best.way is to read the newspaper and
see brsyoarseKe What It is. The man
who can't use newspapers for his
selfish ends abuses them.

A COLONY OF SPIDERS.
Colonel Roosevelt Upon Busy Insect
Preyers OF South America.

Scribner's.
At our camping place we saw an
extraordinary colony. Of spiders, It
was among some dwarf trees. standing
a few yards apart from one another
by the water. When we reached the
camping place. early in the afternoon
the pack train did not got in until
nearly sunset, just ahead OF the rain
no spiders were; out. They were 5un-
der the leaves Of the trees. Their
webs wcre tenantless and indeed for
me most part were broken down, But
ut dusk they carne ont from their hid
ing places, twoSor three hundred Of
them In all, and st once began to re-
pair the old and spin new webs. Each
spun It's own circular web, and sat
In the middle; and each web was con-
tnected on several sides with other
webs whilot those nearest the .ptrees
were hung t1tthenss bys sRpun ropes

A GIRLS TESTIMONY,

At this time last yea. there was con-
Quoted in Anderson campaign for
the purpose of raising money with
which to put Anderson College Oh Il
cash basis. There is no campaign of
any kind this year. The only recent
donation Is the gift of IL $4,000 home
for the presidents use. This gcncr-
GUS offer came from Charles S. Sull-
van. whose blunt and bluff manner
generally and successfully concculs
the real gcntlrncss and tenderness of
his heart. But this gift was typical
Of the man.
Every man in Anderson is able to
give something to the college. Let's
make Il free will Offering this sum
mer. Let's make some expression
Of love for this splendid institution.
We should all feel like giving some
thing merely ior tho reason that we
are not asked for It.
But hasn't Anderson College every
thing she needs? Not by whole lot.
The institution is there and it may be-
come self supporting. But
There are many poor girls in this
city and in this county who need an
education. and the contributions of
Christian men and women would pro-
vide scholarships for them.
What Is money needed for? Read
this letter and see:

MUZZLE THE DOG

i. In these sultry days, known as the
dog days. there Is generally supposed
to be more of tendency to hydro
phobla than at other times of the
yeas ss'Fi i:.,s
Recently we called attention OF the
people Of Anderson that only $50 dogs
In Anderson have any legal right TO
life, because they are the only ones
on which taxes have been paid. All
other dogs in the city should be
killed, IL their owners do not think
enoqgh Of THEM to pay the taxes on
them The law says in part:
Section 62. Every owner or keeper
OF a dog "shapp pay an annual tax Of
81 for each dog kept in the city OF
Anderson, which tax shall he paid at
the same time and place that other
taxes are paid each year; and re-
turn thereof shall be made at the
same time and place that other prop
erty is returned for taxation. The
owner or keeper shall promptly re-
port and pay the tax on any dog
brought into the oity after the time
for making returns or paying the tax"
etc.
The hands of the city government
should he upheld by every good citi-
zen. The law provides:
Section 65. The city council shall
have the right to prohibit dogs from
running at large on tho public
streets whenever the public welfare
and safety. mny In It's judgment. de-
mand II or 1t may require all dogs
running at large to be muzzled. or
may make any other regulations re-
garding the same. Notice OF any such
requirements shall be published In q
newspaper In said city, and any per-
son owning or controlling any dog,
who fails or refuses to comply. there
with shall be deemed guilty OF q mis-
demeanor, and on convictions thereof,
be fined not moro than one hundred
dollars, or Imprisoned not exceeding
thirty days, In the discretion of the
mayor: and any dog found I'm viola
tion Of such requirements may be
killed by any policeman y. Z y
