Thou untfi of Years Ago. "Kulher," said little Wlllluin, "whq invented wheels?" "Wheels were Invented by- " here father paused to consult the encyclo pedia. Jumping Jlmluy ! This youngster had ?truck the weakest link In the whole chair of mechanical knowledge. Kveo the erudite compiler of facta had dodged that query. It Is a riddle that haa never l>eeu solved. What next? Well, father remem bered that Horner thousands of year* age hud written upon the subject. He w a* astounded to discover, however, that wbeela running upon fixed axles and removable at pleasure were Just aa well known to Homer aa they are to the owner of the flivver of today. He tells us In his description of a chariot that while Juno was giving the bit to the horses Ilehe fastened the wheels to the Iron axles. "These wheels had eight braz-en spokes and the felloea were of gold and the tires of brass." All the epithets that could convey Hn Idea of swlXtneas were exhausted by Homer on the chariots of his time, so that the wheel, running indei>en dently upon a fixed axle, could hardly have been a new invention even then, observes a New York Sun writer. The spinning wheel has evolved Into the sewing and weaving machines and the automobile has taken the place of the chariot, but this principle of the wheel has been retained In each. Still there must have been an Intermediate step before the wheel ran Independent ly of the axle. Not doubt the first axle and pair of wheels were gouged out of an Immense tree and were ull In one piece. Hefore that people dragged their loads. That "absurd rolling thing" must have been a great step In progress In that day. The next step may have been the result of Inspiration rather than In vention. Perhaps some, chariot racer on one of the racet racks of a city more ancient than ancient Troy, fired by genius a<nd the desire to cash a .winning bet. suddenly hit upon the idea that a wheel that turned and an axle that stood still was Just the proper caper. IIow the bookmakers of those days must have laughed when they viewed the sorry nag which he had purposely | harnessed up to disguise the larceny of bin Intentions. Confident of their knowledge of the comparative value of everything in the horse line, they probably nudged each other as he showered his gold upon them, Inquir ing of him sarcastically if ne got It huhIIj. Then when they saw *that the remark was about to recoil upon themselves, what a howl they must have raised! However, the driver, full of that strange arrogance that marks the possessor of Inside Information, may have driven carelessly and been disqualified for fouling. Spearhead Fire Basket. one of the urt magazines of the eur rent month gives an Interesting treatment of an ugly grate fireplace in the living hall of a country home which was remodeled for modern uses. The fireplace was torn away f?.r the entire space occupied by the ornMe mantel. A stone shelf on stone brackets was laid at the top (>f the hricks, which taking away the mantel left exposed. These bricks were treated Just enough to remove the roughest parts and were careful ly pointed. Instead of an oval, the space for the fireplace was made square and Instead ?>f the hanging plain harred grate, a tire basket of wrought Iron, with rough spearheads set In the base, was placed In the opening. Chimney arrangements were not changed, and draft properties of the fireplace were unimpaired. The effect was surprisingly good. Edict of Dead King Still Felt.
