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 are also adept to the toe catch,and 1
get around with as' much ease and
grace on the toes of their skates as they _
do on the runners. A particularly at-A
tractive bit of work is their waltz. 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. -
A brand new design in bicycle con-

ently without any means of transmitting l
the power from the pedals to the driv-
ing wlieel. 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.
