LOVELL DIAMONDS STAKDTH? TEST. Board of Experts So Decide. Remarkablo Inirastigation From Which tnt? Loyall Diamond Bicycle Gams Oat Ahead of All Competitors. "Where there nro so many ma'ces ot bi cycles on the market, all ot willoh at first sight seem to he oa un equal foot ins to tho casual observer, and still the tact is well known tbat thoro is no article in common ns? where it is so onsy for the manufactur er to cover up the Imperfections as in tho bicycle, both in material and workman ship, and which cannot bo detected until the machine has been given a test uu the road, such an Investigation as bas just been completed by tho be3t experts in the country, under the supervision of the Western Roviow of Commerce, is likely to be of great value to tho riding public. Tho honor of producing tho best wittel among the thirty-seven woll-kaowa makes that were tested fell to the old established house of John P. Lovell Arms Co., of Boston, Mass., manufacturers of the celebrated Lovell Diamond. Tho investigation was mado In a thorough manner by competent ex perts ia the constructioa of wheels, and before them were placed thirty-seven of the W mm Tate ^i?&Pgg - COLONEL BENJAMIN 8. LOVELL. President of tho John P. Lovell Arms Co. leading makes. The machines wero nil marvels of tho most recent Ideas of me chanical construction," and were brought together without the slightest Intimation or knowledge to the manufacturers that such ti test was to '.ike place. The practical expert: composing the Investigating board gradually weeded the machines down to a small p' ber, and, after several days of ^careful bat ing of the relativo merits bf the ma chines, they were unanimous in their verdict that the Lovell Diamond was un doubtedly the best wheel made and so re ported to tho paper, the president of which Immediately wrote the J. V. Lovell Arms company informing the latter of the investi gation made and the decision reached, and this was the first intimation that the Lovell company had of tho matter. Tho statement that the Lovell Diamond is tho best bicycle built is based upon the fact that every part of the machine is made at their own factory. Previous to and includ ing 1896 tho machine bearing tho name of the Lovell Diamond was manufactured tor tho John P. Lovell Anns Co. by out side parties, but beginning with the season of 1897, overy part of every machine bearing their name plate has been constructed at tho factory of tho John T. Lovell Arms Co. at South Portl nd, Maine. This fact easily accounts for the proven supremacy of the "Lovoll Diamond*' over all other leading makes of the world. The Lovell Arms Com pany have three stores in Boston, Washing ton street. Broad street and Massachusetts avenue, and brunch stores in Worcester, Mass., Providence, B. L, Pawtucket, B. I., Portland nnd Bangor, Mo., besides having agent? in nearly every city and town throughout tho country. Their new cala logue, "Famous Diamonds of the World," free oa application. . Whence Comes the Cat? It is impossible to trace the origin of the domestic cat with certainty to aDv existing specie or variety cf wild cat, indeed, says the Boston Journal, the time at which the cat was lirst do mesticated nnd introduced to human Bocicty is simply a matter of conjec ture. Prof. Shaler expresses the opin ion that the domestication of the cat must have been much later than that of the dog, while naturalists give rea sons for bolieving to the contrary. Advantages of Broad Tires. Most farmers understand that the use cf broad Avagon tires gives an ad vantage in the matter of a lighter draft, and, ns they are usually mount ed on low frames, au advantage is gained in loading and unloading. The broad tires pull much lighter on paved streets, gravel road.i and dirt roads in j all conditions except when soft or muddy, in such cases tho narrow tires are to be preferred. For use on the farm, in meadow lauds, corn lands and in fact on all kinds of lund in all kinds of shape, the broad tire shows a lighter draft and is to be preferred. "Worthy of His Hire.

T C ON S UM PTO ON' Hood's i GOOD ROADS NOTES, j Effect of Wido Tires. "Generally the roadbeds at this time of the year are very rough aud uneven," says the Sauger ties (N. Y.) Post, "but through the village at present they are very smooth. This is caused by the wide tires with which all wagons carrying heavy loads are now equipped. No one would want a more convincing proof of the good road-making qualities of wido tires than this." Missouri Itond Convention. A large and harmonious convention in St. Louis spent two days in debat ing the road question. The principal questions were the most feasible means of improving the highways, the best method of utilizing tho labor of criminals, misdemeanants and tramps, and plans for submission to the Legis lature. A committee of fifteen was appointed to suggost a method of fu ture procedure. It was resolved that the ninety counties in tho State which arc au thorized to levy a tax of sixty cents for county purposes be asked to set aside one-third of it for road improve ment. If this was made law, good roads would be built. A resolution was adopted asking the submission of a constitutional amendment permit ting county courts to increase the tax levy for road purposes, and another resolution in favor of a State highway commission. The Missouri Poad Im provement Association was invited to unite with their organizati? , and it was decided to hold the next conven tion in St Louis. To Locate Komis Properly. Tho importance of locating a road correctly at tho outset, according tc competent surveyors and thorough ex amination, can hardly be over-esti mated. Where roports are mado by viewers to some superior body with whom the final decision rests, it is of great importance that tho viewers be liberal minded, intelligent and jmblic spirited, aud that one of them should always be a thoroughly competeut en gineer. A full report of every exam ination should be made, and should contain sufficient data to make it pos sible to base an intelligent and accu rate opinion on it. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture John Hamilton, of Hamilton, Penn., is endeavoring to secure better work in this direction, and has prepared the following form of report, with tho ob ject of securing full and explicit infor mation in answer to each question: HOAD VIEWERS' REPORT. All reports of boards of road view ers, to view and lay out new roads in this district, shall contain full aud ex plicit information upon tho following points: 1. Tho date of the view. 2. Where held. 3. Whether proper Ics.il notices were given. .I. What viewers were present? 5. Whether they were severally sworn or affirmed. . . 6. Between what points the pro posed road ia desired. 7. Is such a road necessary? S. Should i! be a publie or a pri vate road? 9. Submit a plot or draft of the proposed road, giving courses aud dis tances; also indicating whero the line of the proposed road crosses other roads, property lines, streams and ravines; also showing location of build ings and other improvements near which it may pass. 10.

Foreigners are said to describe our turnpikes as "dug-out bridlepaths." Thc common road is to the farm wagon what the steel track is to the locomotive. State aid in road-building is a sys tem of co-operation by which good roads eau be economically and rapidly constructed. The general ignorance and poverty of the Turk, and his bigotry and fanaticism, are largely due to tho al most universal absence of means of intercommunication. The bad roads of the South, says State Geologist Holmes, of North Carolina, levy a mud and sand tax of five dollars on every man, woman and child iii the Southern States. Ex-Governor Northen, of Georgia, says that he is in favor of four reforms in thc State-first, textilo training schools; second, any policy which will teach scientific farming; third, good roads, and fourth, a reformatory prison for tho detention of youthful criminals. At the next State election in Min nesota an nmeudment to tho State Constitution will be voted on provid ing for a tax of one-twentieth of a mill, to be added to the regular State road and bridge fund, and for the ap pointment of three State road com missioners. Tho present fund is about ?12,500 a year and the new tax is expected to yield $28,750 more, Short nmi to Hie. Point. The shortest sermon on record was reached by an aged clergyman in Aus tralia, who had been engaged to preach a charity sermon for some orphan chil dren. On rising to deliver his dis course, he found his failing strength would not enable him to proceed os he had intended; so, turning to the au dience and stretching his fecldo arm over a group of the orphans, he ad dressed his congregation in these words: "Whence shall Ave buy bread ih.'it the?o may eat?" The sermon was short, but to the point, and the words went to the hearts of the people, .".nd resulted iu a large collection, POPULAR SCIENCE. Ostriches aro fond of waltzing, ac cording to a writer in the Popular Science Monthly. Tho fastest flowing river in the world is tho Sutlej, in British India, with a decent of twelve thousand feet in 180 miles. In the African oasis of Tugurt about 600 artesian wells have been opened successfully along the course of a sub terranean river. It rains on an average of 208 days in the year in Ireland, about 150 in England, afc Kezan about ninety days, and in Siberia only sixty days. At sea level an object; one hundred feet high is visible a little 'over thir teen miles. If five hundred feet high ifcjis visible nearly thirty miles. According to Nilsson, the zoologist, the weight of the Greenland whale is one hundred tons, or 221,000 pounds, or equal to that of eighty-eight ele phants or '140 bears. Firemen will appreciate a hose and tool carrier recently patented, which has a belt to go around the waist, with a shoulder strap to support the weight of the tools aud hose line. To protect bank cashiers from rob bers a steel plate is set in the counter close to the window [aud held by a spring so it can be released by the foot and fly upward to close the win dow and stop bullets. Guns can bo easily cleaned by a new device consisting of a central stem and a pair of elongated spring plates, with wide, flaring ends cen trally pivoted to the stem to rock loosely and fit against thc interior of the barrel. In a paper read, before thc Paris Academy of Sc aces, M. Jacqnemin communicated thc results of experi ments showing that leaves of fruit trees, vines, etc., develop a strong bouquet of tho fruit when soaked in alcohol. He thinks the quality of a poor vintage might be improved by tho 1 utiou of soino leaves during fermentation. The Sussman electric miner's lamp, recently tried with success in Belgi um, consists of a small accumulator of two cells, with an incandescent ?amp attached. It burns for twelve to six teen hours, and gives a light from two and one-half to five times brighter than tho ordinary rainer's lamp. It keeps a light in any position, and is not extinguished by a current of air o? an explosion. M. Martel, thc well-known French cave hunter, has explored an "aven," or natural pit, iu thc limestone of thc Loz?re, France, with remarkable re sults. After descending a vertical shaft for about 200 feet, he found an immense hall, sloping downward, and at the lower end a "virgin forest'* of stalagmites, resembling pine and palm trees. Many of them are v?rv' beau tiful, and one, over ninety feet in height, reaches nearly to the vault of the cavern. Nothing like this forest of stone has been observed in any other known cave or pit. Many Common Superstition:;. The world is indebted to folk-lore for the preservation and transmission from remote ages of customs, usages, rules, principles and precedents to an extent of which it is impossible to form an adequate idea. It goes back to the primitive conce2>tions which have been taken up into the thought of oivilized Nations and interwoven into their religion and philosophy. There are yet those who believe in unlucky in fluences of the moon, in unlucky days, such as Friday; in unlucky numbers, such as thirteen. In numbering the state room doors of first-class steam ships aud the apartment doors of lead ing hotels the fateful number thirteen is studiously omitted. The horse chest nut, the rabbit's foot and the potato are still carried in the pockets of the credulous. That crescent-shaped pro tection against evil spirits, tho horse shoe, is still nailed over doorways. Charms and amulets aud talismans arc still worn, the fashionable form to-day being tho four-leaved clover. The mascot is not the exclusivo possession of tho gambler, nor is its antithesis, the voodoo, tho inheritance of Creole communities only, while tho records of the stage show that actors still have their Jonahs. The witches' cauldron is something more than a fading mem ory. Dreams aud premonitions have not lost their alleged significance. Spectral illusions are still perceptible. Still clings the impression that "com' ing events cast their shadows before." The horoscope still claims a bearing upon human destiny. The divining rod is still used in search of subter ranean springs or metalliforoas de posits. St. Swithin is still clerk? of the/weather for forty days after July 15. Young people still stand under thc mistletoe. The asserted contigu ity of red-haired girls and white horses is still a popular jest.-Dr. C. C. Bom- I haugh to the Folk-lore Society. Tho Cunio of "Jiuzi." "Buzz" is a rather lively game. The guests are seated around the dining table. The one at the head of the table begins by saying "one," the next "two," and so on; only the seventh person and every multiple of seven must remember to say "bazz" instead. If they fail to do this they drop out of the ring, and tho next begins with "one" again. The sport of the game is to remember "seven" or thc mul tiple, viz., fourteen, twenty-one, twen ty-eight, thirty-five, and so on. The one who holds out tho longest is pre sented with a prize, and the first to fall out of the ring wins tho booby prize. l?enver in ISnrope. It is possible that the beaver will survive longer in Europe thau in America. It is said that a few in dividuals are still to be found on the Ellie, the Rhine and the Danube, and Professor Collett, of Christiania, esti mates, according to Josmos, that.tb ere are now 100 ir>'1' iduals living tn Nor way, ...s the number in 1880 was estimated at sixty. Professor Collett recommends that Government protec tion bo afforded to prevent their ex termination.-Fur Trade Review. A Lawyer's Candor. The Jato Sir Frank Lockwood, of England, left a rather enviable reputa tion as a humorist. On one occasion, after defending in court a man who had furnished a very satisfactory alibi, Sir Frank went for a walk in the cir cuit town, and met the judge who had presided. Addressing him, the judge said; "Well, Lockwood, that was a very good alibi." "Yes, my lord,"was the answer; "I had three offered me, and I think I selected the best." Dr. Polers ann Solomon's Mines. Reports from Loudon are to the ef fect that one of the most romantic and at the same time most serious-treasure hunts ever heard of will be undertaken by Dr. Carl Peters, of German-African fame. He is going to seek for King Solomon's gold and diamond mines. They are the mines of the Bible and o? Eider Haggard's novel, Women Tempt Death on Sleds. Picture to yourself a women in tight-fitting skirts, lying flat upon a small, low sled and shooting down a snow-covered mountain Uko a human avalanche. Think, too, of this same woman traveling over the enow with her face less than a foot from the whitf. ground, with nothing between her and inevitable death, but a piece o? board and two steel runners. That is what several Englishwomen are do-; ing right now 'In Switzerland. Women never participated in a more daring pastime; the sport consists literally of sliding down thc side of a glacier on a surface that tilts toward destrucci?n at an angle of forty-five degrees. Davos and St. Moritz, Switzerland, are tho two big tobogganing centers of Europe. At these places greater risks are taken and excitement ls more rampant than at any other place on tho Continent. Lives are lost-women's lives, too. A Quaint Custom. The marriage customs of nations are quaint. Here ls one \vhlch ls describ ed by a traveler: A Hottentot widow marrying again has to cut off the j?.'nt of a finger, which she gives to her new husband on her wedding day. Each time she becomes a widow and marries again she has to sacrifice ono fingtr joint. How They Are Valued. "What do you think of tho clog?" asked +he owner.
