How Indigo Is Produced.

A primitive but effective method of
obtaining indigo in southern India is
practiced by the natives. The plant
is tightly packed the day it is cut, in
a large vat, into which water is run,
and boards are then placed over the
top and are kept in position by heavy
crossbeams. The plant is allowed to
soak for ten or twelve hours, during
which time a heavy fermentation takes
place. The liquid is then drained of
into another vat, after which coolies
beat and stir the soaked mass thor
oughly with fails until the dye begins
to emerge. The whole is then allowed
to settle. The clear liquid is drained
off, and the residue is boiled in copper
vessels. It is then pressed into hard
cakes ready for the market.

knew the Englishman of whom the
story was told, and 1 persuaded him
one day to give me his own version.
He sued a man in the chief Turkish
court that has Jurisdiction over cases
between Europeans and Turkish sub
1ects. When the Turkish defendant
came to tell his tale he spoke Of the
Englishman as giaour, or infidel. The
Englishman objected. Although the
judges knew perfectly well that 1t is
contrary to Turkish law to use such
an epithet, they did not interfere.
whereupon the Englishman said, IF
you call me giaour again shall take
the law into my own hands,"
The Turk at once replied, "Well, you
are giaour."
The Englishman stepped across the
floor three or four PAGES and gave the
Turk blow on the nose that startled
him and the court. AS the blood flow
ed freely, there was great hubbub.
and orders were given to arrest the
Englishman. He was a big, powerful
fellow, and instantly he smashed the
stool on which he was seated and
cried out that he would brain the first
man who laid hands upon him.
Alischan, the dragoman who first
told me the story, said that every one
hesitated to attack the Englishman,
and he, Alischan, was asked by the
president to tell the aggressor that If
he would apologize there would be an
end of the matter.
"Apologize!' said the Englishman.
mot bit Of it. He insulted me, and
I let him have it."
Alischan went back to the president
and said, "This is the kind of an Eng
lishman who won't stand an insult,
and can do nothing with him."
Thereupon the court ordered the pro-
ceedings to 60 on as if nothing had
happened.

RIDING ON BUBBLES OF AIR.
Motoring Would Be Ideal II Tires Could
Be Made Thinner.

Be Made Thinner.
In the whole mechanism of modern
transportation there is nothing so par
adoxical, nothing so daring in concep-
tion as these bubbles Of air which we
call tires. They are at once strangely
nonsensical and strangely practical
nonsensical because they must endure
great strains and yet are necessarily
made of uncomfortable material practi-
cal because nothing can match air as
shock absorber. From all the tales that
we hear of tire costs and tire repairs,
let it not be forgotten that motoring as
we know it became possible because OF
the art of riding on bubbles Of air had
been discovered.
What happens when the old fashion
ed iron tired, wooden buggy wheel
strikes a small stone in the road? 1t
simply rises and the entire load rest
ing on the wheel is lifted. There is
loss Of power-more work for the horse,
for whenever you or horse lifts a
weight energy must be expended.
What happens when an air tube strikes
stone? The tube is simply punched
In, as it were, momentarily! The wheel
need not be lifted over the obstruction.
In order to secure this extraordinary
result the air must have a chance to
compress. If it were possible to build
tire with wall as thin as soap
bubbles and yet so tough and elastic
that it would both yield to blows and
resist punctures and blowouts the ideal
would be attained. One Of the hardest
technical tasks ever set was that Of de-
manding from the rubber industry a
tube which would hold air and which
would also be resilient.
Air tires serve not only to make mo-
toring luxuriously comfortable, but to
protect the car itself. We're it not for
them engines would not perform their
work so efficiently; gasoline would not
be so economically consumed; high
speed would be unttainable; steering
would not be so easy ; shock would not
be completely Observation-Disclosures
