Tire No Liuhtnino Protector.

There is no reason to believe that
any protection is afforded against
lightning by the rubber tires on the
ground. If bolt of lightning is head
ed for the car the rubber tires will
never stop it. AS far as rubber tires
being an electric conductor is con-
cerned if you will stand on the ground
and touch the ungrounded magnetic
electrode the shock you will receive
will readily convince you that the cur
rent from the magnetic has no diff
ficulty in passing from the frame Of
the car to the ground through tires
and then through your body and back
to the framework again.

How to Use Tire Interiiners.

Nv" ~ SSS
Tire interliners should not be used
in new castings, but are made to be
applied to tires which are worn and
weak in spots, To get the best serv-
ice, interliners should be cemented in
side the casing, using a self-vulcan-
izing cement. If they are put in loose
ly they are very apt to chafe the in
side Of the casing, generating heat and
causing the shoe to deteriorate more
rapidly than it would otherwise.

Mrs. Ruth A. Pomeroy, whose death
at Weymouth, Mass, was announced
Sunday, demonstrated anew that there
is nothing in the world like a mothers
LOYALTY and love. Back in 1874 when
her son, Jesse Pomeroy, was sent to
state prison for life for a series of
brutal murders, this mother began her
fight for his freedom. Year after year
she fought for her son s release. She
never believed him guilty of the crimes
with which he was charged, even in
spite of his own confession, and always
hoped that evidence would turn up
somewhere to prove his innocence.
Yearly she presented her petition for
Ills pardon, and once every month she
went to visit her son and to take to him
what comforts she could afford. The
vagares of nature are seen strikingly
in the Jesse Pomeroy case. The pris
oner possesses a BRILLIANT mind, but is
moral degenerate, with criminal ten
denotes Of the most vicious and revolt
ing kind. He has a brother and sister
who are respected, honored and usefu
members of society. Strange, isn't it
how nature constructs from the sam,
material these extremes in human in
individuals?

Boots and Shoes in War.
(Springfeld Republican,

Never in the history of the world
was there anything comparable to the
sudden demand for shoes which has
been created by the war. John Hanan,
the New York shoe manufacturer, who
is now in Europe on business, is quot
ed in u cable despatch from Paris as
saving that the demand for army boots
is S0,000,000 pairs a year. The figures
seem hardly ereditable, yet by some
estimates about 20,00o,000 men arc
more or less under arms; the figures
would provide on the average four
pairs of boots a year. The English
army allows six weeks service for a
pair Of boots in the trenches, each
costing 81 or more. At that rate, a
war of three years would cost Europe
nearly billion dollars merely for
boots. The United States has all Of
this trade that it, can provide for, and
/ Mr.. Hanan says that the American
factories can provide nearly 100000
pairs daily for export, or perhaps over
E30, 10000 a year, more than third of
the required total None the less there
are likely to be good many bare
toed soldiers before the war is over.

The Pennsylvania railroad is adj
mittedly one of the best managed in
the country, but its experience shows
in no uncertain way a reason for the
necessity of higher rates. One law re-
garding hours Of service in Pennsyl-
vania cost that company $1,080,000, a
law to force the roads to put on ash
pans so that cinders' would not drop on
people at trestles cost $505,400; laws
requiring extra safety appliances, So
185, 700; . law requiring additional
boiler inspection $515,Q00; law re
quiring additional men on trains
known as "f full crew. law, 1,1SO,000
All roads are affected to a greater Of
lesser extent by similar laws. Our de
mand of the railroads is safety first
and then prompt and efficient service
But the public must pay the. price, ant
with the increasing demands made upol
the railroads the chalking up of tn
price is inevitable.
