Family of Skaters Whose Skill on the Ice Excites

Wonder And _Admlratlon in Europe And America-' lies Davidson Expfainsj

Some of I-ler Feats in

Figure Skating.

St. Louisans, or those of them who are fond of ice sports, have had a

treat the past week in the exhibitions given by Jchn and Fannie Davidson at q

the local rink. There are many such skaters in the country, and, as a rule they will be found to run in families. The Davidsons are no exception to this rule. Mabel Davidson, a sister of Fannie. was everywhere regarded as a marvel until her recent unfortunate

death. Harley Davidson, a brother, is ty one of the speediest skaters in the coun- try, and John and Fannie are a team which can hardly be equalled. Such at least, is the verdict at everv place where they have given exhibitions. and \ tremendous success is predicted for

them on the occasion of their appear-

apnallingto one who thinks he or she is “getting on" when the front roll is acquired as an accomplishment. Not many ot these figures are named. They are simply tho creation of the skater herself. and she goes ahead and does them without worrying about anything but the general effect. Her brotbei-‘e list of figures is oven greater than this.

Miss Davidson has the proper play- sique for a good skater. She is a rather`

much determination as vivacity stamped _ on her attractive face. She as not a ,_ woman of moods, but usually knows what she wants. and when and how she expects to get it. She began skating but a short time ago, and her skill seems to have come to her naturally. as she says the way she learned her first figures was by watching her sister and q brothers. and then doing what they ' did.

The originality inthe Davidson met-_

hod is gained by the introduction of new twists and swings into the old fivures. `;

They waltz either in the long curves of the, old-time skater, or entirely on T the toes of their skates. The ' toe waltz is necessarily a matt- t. er of hops, and, though it may be hard to consider any one hopping gracefully,

yetthis Pair does it with iemukable 6 inches in width weiia used than when

ease. » 1

What Miss Davidson considers one of `

the most difficult of skating figures is one which would appeal to the onlook- er as the simplest. This figure is ther same to some extent as the back roll, ‘ except that the skater moves forward. Each foot, as it is lifted from the ice, is thrown or rather slowly swung around behind the other one. The trick of do- . ing this is not difficult except in one respect,that of retaining the momentum to keep on going forward.

Miss Davidson warns all ladies who

desire to skate to Wear short skirts and thick-soled boots. Skating in a long skirt is a matter of too much diflicnlty for her, and she says it is impossible for any one to do anything in a skirt longer than one’s shoe topi. She wears very heavy boots. made ot light calf- I skin. and with soles about three-eighths of an inch in thickness. To these her skates are tightly screwed, as' in her work it would be too dangerous to risk an ordinary clamp skate, which. es- pecially in toe work, might slip off, or tear away the heel of the boot. The, shoe and the skate are thus. practically one bit of mechanism.--St. Louis Globe.

Good Roads-Broad. Versus Narrow Tires.

Experiments conducted at the Mis-

souri Station for two years on mac- adam, gravel and dirt roads, in all con-j ditious, and on meadows, pastures and plowed fields, both wet and dry, showed that as a general rule, the draft was considerabl less when' tires

the tests were made with tires ol stan- dard width, viz., 15 inches.

It was found that on a msicadaru road

a load of 2,518 lbs. could have been hauled on the broad tires with the same

on the narrow tires. On a gravel road except when it was wet and sloppy on top the results were about the same. The same favorable results vwre found on a dirt road when dry, hard, and free from ruts. \Vhen, however, the surface was covered with two or, three inches of very dry, loose dust, the;

needful being to learn the tigures and 1'

til itreached about 25 or 30 per cent. On the other hand, as the mud became ‘ sort and deeper. the difference dimin- ` ished until the condition arrived when mud adhered to both set of wheels when it was found that the narrow tires pulled materially lighter.

On a clay road with a dry surface,

with deep ruts cut by the narrow tires in the ordinary use of the road, the first run of the broad tires over the ruts showed a materially incieased draft as compared with that of the nar- row tires. The second run of the broad A tires, however, in the same track com- pletely reversed this. Where the ruts were 8 inches deep, with rigid walls. three runs ot the broad tires over the rats in its own track eliminated any disadvantage against them in favor ot narrow tires. ,

A large number of tests on meadows. j

pastures and piowed ground. in every _ condition. proved without exception that there was a .difference in draft in y favor of 'broad tires of from 17 to 120 _ per cent.

Six inches is recommended as the

best width of tire for a combination farm and road wagon. Both the axles should be the same length, so that the V front and hind wheels will run in thot same track. -

There is no visible chain, and likewise no awkward bevel gear- ing exposed to view. The fact is,there are two chains, but they are snugly stowed away in the df pfhs of the tubes which comprise the frame construction.-= The advantage of two chains is that the strain on the parts ofthe wheel is evenly distributed. When the bicycle is in motion these chains are constantly re- volving through the triangles formed by the rear tubing, the apex of this triangle being directly under the seat. where they piss over a pulley.
