How a Bnggy Wheel Travels.
Editor News— The following ex¬
tract is taken from a very popular
and one of the most extensively read
newspapers of our section of the
country.
“The question is often asked, ‘does
the top of a buggy wheel in motion
travel faster than the bottom?’ The
lower spokes were plainly photo¬
graphed, because their motion was
not so rapid. So it is a fact that the
upper part oi a wheel in motion goes
more swiftly than the lower; bat who
can explain it?’ ”
If I mistake not just about the
same question appeared in the col
omns of some paper, if not the very
same, some time since. 9 And it was
thought that a full and complete ex¬
planation was sent to the papej. Is
it not strange that it would be con¬
sidered a question at all—tor does
not every one know that the top of
a buggy or wagon wheel runs much
faster than the body—for should any
portion of the body rest on or touch
the top o f the wheel that it would
create a good deal of friction by rub¬
bing against it in passing because
it “goes more swiftly.”
Does not that look too plain to
even need stating? But-to fully ex¬
plain more fully the different move¬
ments of the different parts of the
wheel, caused by the constant
changes of positions First the top
of tire on top of the wheel is moving
immediately forward, and goes just
twice as fast as the body, axel or
the load carried.
Second, the bottom of tire resting
on the ground has no forward or
backward movement—for it does not

I merely presses the dust smooth—

actly equal to axel, body, or load

its forward movement Until it reaches
the top, where it is doable that of

The County Commissioners.
The County Commissioners held
their regular monthly session Tues¬
day, all members being present.
Bonds were issued for the #4,000
cash bonus which had been pledged
by citizens to secure the location of
the agricultural experiment station
in this county. They have uot yet
been been sold, sold, as as several several parties parties are are de- de-
com nand a fair premium.
The board instructed Commis¬
Mills to ask tbe mayor and
to move the city powder
magazine, which now endangers the
court house, county records and jail,
as well as all that part of town, be-
withia one hundred feet of the court¬
house, and of the center of the city.
This action was taken at the request
of several citizens of that neighbor¬
hood, who do not like to be constant¬
ly contemplating the presence of five
hundred pounds of dynamite and
two hundred kegs o! powder.
The remainder of the session was
spent in auditing accounts.

Bsrnum’s Advertising la London.
To advertise the city of London
for the opening of the Barnnm ft
Bailey show an average of half a
column was engaged in each of the
regular daily and weekly papers. In
addition 450 billboards were covered
with 80,000 sheets of pictorial pa¬
per, 4,180 wooden fromee were put
out containing one sheet lithographs,
45.000 one sheet posters wereput np,
85.000 litobgrophs were placed in
shop windows, 8,000.000 quarter-
sheet programmes were distributed,
and 100,000 couriers (a sixteen page
pamphlet), 50,000 newspapers, fold-
effc (four-page paper), and other
forms of printed matter were sent
through the postoffice. Besides the
foregoing there were 80,000sheets of
pictorial paper posted in the towns
and cities contiguous to London.
Notwithstanding all the pictorial
work posted, it is always considered
by showmen that the regular adver¬
tising in the newspapers more than
offsets the bill posting, the former
being the real and true method, the
latter only serving to illustrate what
the papers mention.—[New York

They’re Soon Forgotten.
One has but to read the advertis¬
ing columns of the newspapers dur¬
ing the holiday season to discover
that there are dozens of firms in
business who think it worth while to
to make their business known to the
public for only a week or two daring
the whole year. At this time the
newspapere contain the announce,
ments of many firms which
the great, intelligent, advertise
ment reading public doesn’t hear
of thrqugh those mediums from
one month’s end to another’s. It is
very strange. The policy of it is in
explicable. If advertising is a good
thing for a mercantile establish¬
ment for two weeks in a year, it
ought to be good fifty-two. It is
one thing for a merchant to make
himself known to the people and an.
other to keep himself known. The
successful merchant is he who intro¬
duces himself to the public and then
by daily advertising, prevents peo
pie from forgetting him.

He lived all alone in a little hole m

there. He was a man of grea* piety
and learning. He could read the stare

concoct some powerful cordials and
