Any wbeel can be fitted with a nV
bar tire. A oew rim of Iron la fitted
over the felloe, and in Ita boz-ahaped
channel the flat bottom of tbe tire flu
loaety. The brat make of tire la com
preaied after being placed In the rim
and the large Heel wire which run
through it completely around tha
wheel are brought together and elec
trically welded, thus making it impoa
alble for the tire to flip off. aaya an
exchange.
At flrat It waa feared that rubber
tlrea would not prove durable that
the wear of the atreet aurface, run
ning over broken glasa and aharp-cor-nered
itonea, would cut and macerate
the rubber very rapidly. Thii has been
disproved.
Not only la the comfort of riding In-
created by the ue of rubber tires, and
the noise abolished, but the wear on
the vehicle l greatly diminished. Saya
a well-known dealer: "A aet of rub
ber tlrea will pay for themaelveain five
years in the saving of repaira on a
buggy. Tbe tirea take up the vibra
tion, and nuta and bolts do not work
loote aa they do where Iron tires are
used. Tbe constant shake to which an
ordinary vehicle Is subjected when
loaded U very destructive. It not only
wears the bolts in their sockets, but
the Iron Itself disintegrates. Rubber
tires prevent 00 per cent, of this wear."
A horse will pull a large surrey with
a grest deal less effort than former
ly. The action of an Iron tire on a
roadway Is like successive blew of a
hammer. The wheel strikes an ob
struction with a dead shock calculated
to oause a rebound, and to overcome
thia a horse exerts a steady pull; with
a rubber tire tbe material oocommo-
uaies itseu to tbe obstacle, its re-
tltiency causing it to lift itself over the
atone or edges of paving bricks.
Nor will a rubbr-4ired vehicle raise
as much dust as one with Iron tires, by
reason of its narrow tread.
All of the livery stables are refitting
their best vehicles with rubber tires.
In a very few years iron-tired buggies
and delivery wagons will be the excep
tion. Perhaps Ice wagons, brewery
trucka and all heavy teaming vehicles
will also be fitted with noiseless tires,
that aiding to the comfort of the pub
lie aa well aa the users of the vehicles.
ROADSIDE ADORNMENT.
WMa Hedar svad newen sal Pratt
Trees Would Deaatlfr Without
Coetlaar Hack.
In improving country roads there
ia not Infrequently a danger of de
stroying aometbing of the charm and
pictureaqueueas which bushes, flowers
and vines give to the roadway In many
rural districts, and the danger of do
ing thia is sometimes actually need aa
an argument for not undertaking
roueb-uerded Improvements. There ia,
however, a middle course which leada
to the preservation of natural ad
vantage alongside the conttrnotlon
of hard roadways. Such a eorse the
Norwich Bulletin declares itself in fa
vor of, "when the country road Is of
sufficient width and shape to be worthy
the name." and it then pertinently
adds!
The wfld and breezy hedge and the
wild florvers in their day, beginning
with the violet and the dandelion and
closing with the fringed gentians, the
purple asters and the golden-rod, make
for appreciative people a pleasant
way; but there are many cart patbs
In Connecticut where roads ought to
be. There are too many of the narrow,
concave, roily, rutty, muddy, crooked
ten-feet cart paths now parading in
thia state under the title of rosds, with
sumach and hackmatack for a border,
nnd Canada thistle and wild carrot
blooms for a decoration. The eart
paths are dirty, slumpy. corrugated
ways which add to the discomforts of
life. New rood building makes for
their abolishment, and for the estab
lishment of wide, convex, well-drained
roadbeds, along which the wild hedge
nnd flowers make a setting that is both
picturesque and cliarmlng."

A pertinent question la asked In the
Xew York Evening Tost: "Will there
ever come a time wnen, instead ot
boasting of the miles of asphalt pave
ments in our cities, we can describe
the excellence of the country roads?
When, Instead of talking of the col
lege and high schools in the towns,
we can be proud of the education given
to farmers' sons and daughters in the
country schools? A time when farm
life will cease to imply loneliness,
drudgery and intellectual stagnation,
and when to live in tbe country that
God has made will be thought better
than to live in the towns that man
ha built?"

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

The application of what is called
wireless telegraphy to practicul pur
posea has made great advances during
the last few mouths, the British post
office having erected experimental sta
tions In ;he Solent, oneat Dorneiuouth,
and the other at Alum bay, in the Isle
of Wight, a distance of four and n liulf
miles. Across this distance, and even
further, signals have been sent with
entire success, .and communications
were made to a vessel cruising about
In tne opon with equally satisfactory
result. The system under trial wuu
that; of Marconi, and the apparatus at
either end was of a relatively simple
character. Ita visible portion contest
ed of a mast over 100 feet high. In
side the transmitting station was a
powerful Induction coll, by tnenns of
which a spark van connected between
two balls. One ball was connected
with, the upright wire, the other with
the earth. When n spark passes the
wire givea out electrical radiations or
waves In every direction, und some of
thcae arc caught by a corresponding
upright wire nt the receiving end, mid
transmitted to a suitable piece of ap
paratus known ns a "coherer." TT:c
coherer la a glass tube, into which arc
sealed two Hilver pole pieces, the space
between which contnlns metal filings,
which are not ordinarily conductors
of electricity. As soon ns n current
or discharge reaches them, however,
they aet themsclvea In an end-on po
sition' and become conductors. The
slightest tap disarranges them and
turns them ngain Into nonconductors.
It may be seen then how by means of
a suitable automatic tapping arrange
ment the coherer can be kept in a
sensitive state for registering Inter
mittent electric signals. These nro
developed by an ordinary relay ar
rangement, and are automatically
written down by a Morse recorder.
Theoretically there la no reason why,
with vertical wires of sultablo length
and sufficiently powerful discharges,
the radiations should not be transmit

however, seem to show that no (HfQ
