For t>a'<ii'ulai8 "pp'y on the {iremiRos to â€"JOHN UKKUnobT, FlcBhlMlolI, Vi] SAVING THE TIRES. Sem* Advic* on How to Traat Thtm to Make Them Last, "rructical tests prove that a car Is not stopped as (jukkly whcu tbe wheels are locked u.s when the brakes are ap- plied gently, but Onnly," said a tiro ex- pert ill a talk about tires. "By locking the wlieei and sklddUig fbo tire the rubber is scraped and tinu oft and the canvas laid bare. Goodly tire. A tube must be placed inside ii casing, and every crease mu.st be elim- inated. A carelessly fitted tube will be subjected to abnormal tension iu several places and will be sure to burst; in inflating. "Many drivers still run on deflated tires. There is nothing will ruin u shoe quicker than this. 'NVlieu you get u puncture, stop immediately and make repairs or change shoes. Wbmi rubber comes ill contact with oily or fatty sub- stances it blisters and disintegrates. See that your tires do not come in contact with any kind of grease. "We haTe known brand new tires to wear out In only 150 miles of driving, simply because the front wheels were not properly aligned. If your wheels are not parallel and true, have them tested at once and the trouble cor- rected. "Vulcanizing by an incompetent per- son Is dangerous and costly, resulting usually in rubber losing Its elasticity." ITALY'S L EANING TOWERS. rho strangest of Thsm All Ar« thi Two In Bologna. Italy is a laud of many leaning tow ers, but the tower of Pisa is the best known. The strangest of tbe lean- ing towers, liowevcr, arc the Torrt -\8lnelll and the Torre Oariscnda in Bologna, which were erected A. D, liOO aud 1110. The builders Intended them for fortified homes, of which Bo- logna at one time possessed as nmn.v as l-'OO. Tho gloomy, smooth wallcil brick towers standing side by side make u strange impression upon the person who looks up at them from the ground. The Torre Aslnelli Is 320 feet high iind contains a rough staircase of -1-17 steps. From the summit, which is four feet out of plumb with tho base, one has a flue view of the city. Tbe slant Is unintentional and was probably caused by the sinking of tbe founda- tions. Torre Garisenda is 103 feet high â€"sixteen feet lower than the Leaulnii; Tower of Pisaâ€" and is ten feet out of plumbâ€" only throe feet less than the Tower of Pisa. When Ottone Garisenda began to build. A. D. illO, he appi-rently wanted his bouse to surpass his iielglibor A.si- nelH's in oddity, and so he Intention- ally made his tower out of the perpen- dicular. He found it impossible, how- ever, to complete the tower at that angle and had to cease work. PUT THE RUBBISH TO USE. PREHISTORIC WEAPONS. O ld C lotjiss smd FurnU"Xt M*/ â- â€¢ 13S** NssdTsd by OthsrsT" -**<â€"â- *- If there is a piece of furniture about tbe house that is not actually in use give It away. Get rid of it; clean up the rubbish; clear out the attic; don't allow useless articles to accumulate. The habit of hoarding was foi-med in the Jungle away back when the race was hard pressed. Our .nncestors later on found that it was a part of wisdom to hang on to everything they could get hold of, on tbe theory that it would some day be of use, and generally It was of use. So we have clung to the habit of hoarding imtil at this time there are many articles about everr , .,. , home which are absolutely useless and this amount more than 99 per cent i-^ which will never be used by the house- ' '"«"e»l''e. consisting of a nlekel-lrou hold. Get rid of them. Thty Were Probably Mad* of Iron Ob- tainsd Front Metsoritos. In the old world the art of smelting ores was discovered about 1200 B. O. It has sometimes been suggested that iron tools aud weapons may have been made at an earlier period from meteor- ites, and recently a considerable amount of evidence in behalf of this hypothesis has been presented by C. P. Zimmer, He has complied a list of tbe known iron-contalnhig meteorites, nearly all accumulated within the past century, and he shows from these alone about ;50 tons of iron might be obtained.. Of The conservation of resourcesâ€" the economy about wliicli we hear so much â€"does not contemplate the withholding from use of anylliin.if that may be of use. Indeed, conservation means using to the utmost that wliicli is usable in a rational way. So yon are actually con- serving the wealth of tbe world by dis- posing of that which is of no use to you, but which may be of use to some one else.- Courage and Cruelty. It is one of the mean and morbid lies that physical courage is connected with | cruelty. Tolstoyan mid Kiplingite are i nowhere more at one than In maintain- I log this. They have, I believe, soma I small sectarian quarrel with each - other, the small one saying that cour- • age must be abandoned because it Is connected -with cruelty and the other ] maintaining that cruelty is charming j because It Is a part of courage. But It { Is all, thank God, a lie. An energy and . boldness of body may make a man stupid <ji reckless or dull or drunk or i hungry, but it does not make him ' spiteful I alloy. He also shows by means of h series of Illustrations how easy it is to detach from the meteorites fragments of iron suitable for use as tools or Im- plements when mounted iu handle.s. Thus it seem.s fairly probable that a widespread use may have been made of uicteoritic iron in preliistorlc times. M the time of the Spanish conquest of Mexico the Aztecs had iron knives and daggers, which, they declared, had been obtained from the sky. Moreover, t-iio use of meleoritic iron by Kskimos and American Indians is a matter of recent history. Getting By. An Indianapolis man, who for tho r<urpose of this story will be called Mr. X., a.iked a friend, Mr. Y., for the loan of $20. Mr. Y. replied that he did not have the money with him, hut would return with it later". When be came back to Mr. X.'s office he found .\lr. X. busily engaged iu an apparent effort to make a favorable impression vu a visitor unknown to Mr. Y. "Here Is that twenty," said Y. break- ing in oil tho conversation. Mr. X. turned as though annoyed by the interruption; (hen his face bright- ened with a patronizing smile. "Thanks, old follow," he said. "\ny time I can do anything more for you let Hie know."
