GERMAN" SUBSTITUTES FOR RUBBER TIRES Rubber being scarce in Germany nowadays, a number of bicycle tires made of substitutes for rubber are reported to have appeared on Vtt German market, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine. First came a tire made of steel wire about 3-16 in. thick, closely coiled, with ends weld ed together. This was high-priced, damaged pavements and rattled In use. Then came three different types of wooden tires, the cheapest being made of a single piece of wood, while others are made of wooden sections. Another type of wood tire has the outer surface covered with a leather strip. Steel springs are used with all the wooden tires, either in forks or between tire and rim, which odds considerably to their cost. Tires cov ered with leather or with canvas, In stead of rubber, are a!so on the mar ket. But the best substitute for the rubber tiro has an outer tube of pre pared canvas, and a cloth-wound in ner tube lllled with a solid prepara tion resembling rubber, that is* said to bo quite elastic.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES AHE SHIPPED IN BOXES Three large electric locomotives, weighing 120 tons each, were ship ped recently from Erie, Pa., to Chile, South America, in knock-down rorm, being boxed for convenience of shipment, according to the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. They are intended for use in transporting iron ore from the mines of an American steel company at Tofo, Chile, 2,200 feet above the sea level, to Cruz Grande, the nearest shipping port. For a while the problem of getting the engines to Chile baffled the traf fic men, as they were too big and too heavy to be taken aboard ship intact. The only alternative was to take them apart for shipment. When this was done and the parts were boxed it was found that each of the locomotives occupied eight freight cars and weighed 290,000 pounus. There were 62 separato boxes, rang ing in size from 50 feet to only a few inches in length, the largest weighing more than a ton before be ing packed. jSavM&a BKI.I, 1001—2350 UNITED HARRIS BURG.
