"Where do you expect to move to?"
inquired the caller.
"Well, I intend to go to the Fifth
Avenue hotel, but I think the Savoy
or the Plaza will suit me better, be
cause I like to be near the Park. Yes,"
he continued, as he saw his visitor
glance about the room and look skep
tical at the mention of the expensive
hotels, "you must remember that Good
year ana Edison and every great In
ventor has been poor. All I'm waiting
for is to perfect my new and wonderful
inventions and get them patented and
I'll have all the money I want."
"And what are your Inventions?"
"My inventions, or rather my discov
eries, are all based upon one principle,
just as all the so-called Edison inven
tions spring from the solitary principle
of the sound of waves. I have been
studying the possibilities of the pneu
matic tire and I expect to revolutionize
society before I get through. I suppose
you've often noticed these bicycles go
ing about the streets with big pneu
matic tires on their wheels? Well, did
you never think of the amount of waste
room there was in those round bits of
rubber pipe? I thought of it a year
peo, and now 111 show you a few of the
tfiingB that I have worked out since
then."
With a SplKot of Possibilities. -
As he said this the inventor took
from tis work table a tire fitted with
a, gman m&tnl spigot similar to thoseL
used in drawing, ale or Deer. . '
"This," he remarked, "is m;traveHj
log beer tunnel. 'The tire is filled witpr
beer at the hprinninc of he ImirnevAi
and whenever the rider becomes thirs
ty, or desires to secure the good will
of the natives through whose country
he Is passing, he simply takes a little
cup from his pocket and draws the beer
through the spigot. On hot days he can
ride liis machine into a cool stream or
lake, and In half an hour his beer will
be of the proper temperature for drink
ing." "Wonderful!" exclaimed the visitor.
"My dear sir, that beer tunnel Is, af
ter all, but a primitive Idea," rejoined
the Inventor calmly. "Now I will show
you how the same principle may be de
veloped. For instance, here Is a tire
divided Into four compartments, each
one of which is provided with a spigot
similar to the one I have just shown
you. One of these- compartments con
tains whisky, another red wine, another
rum and another brandy. Before long
every bicycle club will contain one of
these invaluable tires, which will be

In olden times the smuggler used to use

doubtless remember. The smuggler of

and long -woolen stockings, and will
ride on his long, 'low, rakish looking

Canada from this country."

"The European market will always
fce.opeu. and Is, after all, a much better
-one than our own so ;far as this parti
cular Invention is concerned," rejotoed
Mr. Krankwit.
-"But now I would like to show you
two or three other applications of my
great principle. For instance, here is
an ingenious device toy which elec
tricity Js generated inside the tire,
simply ;by trus motion of the
wheel, and the force thus obtained
finally becomes strong enough to pro
pel the machine and Its rider up hill
and down, ithus almost realizing the un
discovered and much talked .of per
petual motion. A theatrical -company
mounted on wheels thus arranged
could escape the rapacity of hotel land
lords, and successfully defy the rail
road companies. Then here is another
invention which I expect will become
very popular in the amusement busi
ness. It Is notmog more nor less tnan
a set of tires arranged in the form of
a music box. and as the rider propels
himself along the wheels play a num
ber of popular airs. Half a dozen act
ors and actresses mounted on these
wheels could ride through the principal
streets of a town, and give, as they
travel, a concert fully as good as that
usually furnished by a circus or min
strel baud. And as the people would
be unable to see where the music came
from they would be 6ure to make a
tremendous sensation."
"What are those very large wheels
intended for?" asked the caller, who
by this time had become very much In
terested in the iuventor and his remar-
kable schemes.

The Table D'Hote Wheel,
placed on the wHeel of some responsi
ble member of every party that goes
out on a cycling tour. Now, here Is
the same principle still farther de
veloped. This is what I call my table
d'hote tire, which is divided into ten
compartments instead of four, and each
compartment contains what you might
call a little trap door. When the wheel
man determines to partake of his din
ner he sits down under the shade of a
tree, takes his wheel in his lap, extracts
knife, fork, spoon and napkin from com
partment No. 1, then lifts the trap door
of the next compartment for his soup,
takes his fish from No. S and so on,
turning the wheel as he eats until he
-winds up with a cup of coffee, and de
posits his nankin and table ware in
the compartment from which he took
them. That is what I call a rather in
genius device, and I can assure you,
sir, that it will not be long before you
will see companies of wheelmen and
wheelwomen seated by the roadside,
with their wheels in their laps, and en
joying themselves as much as if they
were eating a dollar table d'hote din
ner In New York."
"That is, indeed, a remarkable inven
tion," exclaimed the visitor, as he care

o Doubt About His Head.
Admiral Drake, when a lad, at th;
beginning of his first engagement
was ohserved to shake and tremble
very hiuch, and being rallied upon it,
observed, with a presence of mind
(or, at all events, of humor) in which
even Nelson was lacking: "My flesh
trembles at the anticipation of the
many and great dangers into which
my resolute and undaunted head will
lead me."

The treatment is simple and painless.
The ulcer is first washed with some
antiseptic solution and then covered
with a thin layer of absorbent cotton
wool. The patient is placed on an insu-
lating stool and the positive electrode '
is brought so near to the ulcer to ?0Ta!tain iriS. T

without any spark. This spray, or elec
trical douche, is allowed to play on the
part affected for ton minutes. The
cotton wool dressing is then applied.
The treatment is renewed every three
days. Tlie origin of the ulcer has much
to do with the specific effect of the
treatment. Frofcssor Doumer states
that where the ulcer is due only to
u varicose condition or a blow imme
diate improvement is usually mani
fested, the pain and itching disappear
ing very quickly, the swelling soon 1
goes down, and the ulcer ultimately
heals over. When the patient is great- ,

ease or other chronic affection. In ad
dition to the varicose condition, the !
action of the spray, as might be expect
ed, shows far less effective results. A
case is given of an elderly man who
had formerly been given to drink and ;
who had large varices. In consequence
of a blow, an ulcer appeared on the leg.
The sore was most malignant, and the
tibia was swollen for nearly three inch
es of its length. The patient was treat
ed bv the ordinary antiseptic methods
for three weeks without.marked change

the electric spray; tlie sittings were

Cars for Trolley 1'nrtle.
! Mention lina hpvri m;n1 5n thpio nn-
es of the growing use in Fhiladelphia
of the trolley cars for special parties
of excursionists or picnickers who are
willing to pay an extra price for the
e use of a car
period. The scheme has
turned out so well that a Baston rail
way company has constructed two ele-
, gantly appointed special cars which are
. to be placed at the disposal of private
parties. The cars are 20 feet long by
7 feet 4 inchos wide. The windows are
unusually large, and when the frames
are dropped the interior is as airy as
that of a summer car. The car is hand
1 somely upholstered'and fitted with elec
tric lights, ornamental kerosene lamps
being provided so that the passengers
will not be left in the dark by any tem
porary break in the electric circuit.
Ten seats are arranged on each side of
the car. and plush-covered easy chairs
with arm rests, enable the passengers
to travel in luxurious comfort. There
will be a special tariff for these cars,
which will be available at any time,
and for any length of time, and it is
not unlikely that as soon as more gen
eral provision is made for the connec
tion of electric lines over extended
tracts of country the chartering of a
trolley car for the summer months
will be found far more enjoyable than
a yachting cruise, besides being infinite-
ly cheaper.
