WHEEL LONG USED
I
Has Been Known to Men Since
the, Earliest Times.
Abundant Proof That invention Was
by No M?a na Now 8om? 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.

GIRL ASTOUNDS PHYSICIANS

meeting of the Chicago Medlcnl soci
ety by an lnexpllcuble faculty #f bear
ing and seeing throagh her ftn^er-tlps.
It wax admitted her cnm paralleled j
that of Helen Kellar. Numerous phy- i
alclana, skeptical of her power, gave
her test after teat. At the conclusion 1
of their experiments they announced
they could offer no explanation, but '
admitted there had been no Illusory )
tactics and that the girl's gift was ?
genuine. She Is Wllletta Hugglns, an

Hugglna demonstrated the following '
marvelous feats: Hearing, perfectly by 1
placing hor hands on the wrist, head
or chest of another- through vibration;
with a pofo ten feet long touching a
doctor, held the other end and con
versed with him for several minutes;
rubbed her nose over a page and told
haw many persons were in the pho
tograph, distinguishing between men
and women; told the color of yarn by
the feeling of It ; also told the denom
ination of paper money by her touch.
The girl was placed In ths Institution
at Janesvllle. For live years she was
so morose and despondent that her
?onlty was feared for; then one of
the teachers interested her In the life
of Helen Kellar and since tbat day she
fcas shown marvelous development in
all her remaining senses. The pk^ture
shows Miss Huggins telling the color
