It is believed that the Keystone, county committee will practically dissolve, so far as the coming election is concerned, as the result of a meeting at Wilkesbarre last night, which resulted in nothing being accomplished. There ha.s recently been a strong Democratic leaning by the chairman of the committee.

While the majority of the membership held Republican i sympathies, so far as fusion was con i cerned and a split has resulted.

WRfil. DRURY, 11 13 South Main St. Around th Axla? le wheel that turns under tba locoiuotire or tbe car has a tong and oncer tlstory says a writer to tba KaUroad Man's Mazaztne.

"hot tbe mystery Is still with as and whirls Its hundred question marks before our eyes every minute of tbe day. Of coarse every one believes that tbe edge of the wheel goes around tbe axle But does ft? Take tbe end of any spoke near tbe tire or any part of tbe tire and on a still, windless night fasten a candle to It; then back off till nothing can be seen but that candle flame. "Let the wheel revolve slowly, free from the ground. Tbe cajidle flame makes a circle of fire all right and goes around the Now lower tbe wheel until It rests on tbe ground and start ahead. Tbe flame suddenly stops going in a circle and begins to make a wavy line, first high and then low.

It goes around nothing at alL "Men with clear minds can perform tbe experiment satisfactorily by tying 'a handkerchief around tbe tire in daylight, but to do this takes a keen mathematical imagination, because the eye is confused by other moving objects and is not able to see tbe handkerchief free from these other influences. "At night tbe candle flame alone can be seen, so that is perhaps tbe best time to try the matter out Tie a torch to a locomotive driver and then send the engine slowly back and forth while the observer is off some hundred feet distant in the dark. The torch does not move In a circle. It simply goes ahead somewhat like a flying machine rising and falling in tbe wind, coming to a dead stop at Its lowest point and going twice as fast as the engine when at its highest point' "The fact that the bottom of an engine wheel always stands still Is more easy to learn than tbe fact that the top of the wheel moves just twice as fast as the train, but this can be proved easily with a piece of board. "Take a piece of board, say.

ten feet long and lay one end on top of the wheel. Now move the engine forward two feet and you will tlnd that the board has" gone ahead four feet, just twice as far as tbe engine. Lay down the board and tie two pieces of string to tbe wheel, one at tbe top and the other at the bottom, where It rests on the ground. Now run your engine forward two feet Jd see what happens. The bottom string has moved forward, too, but not nearly so far as has the top piece of string, although tbe ends were even at tbe start" Plants Breaking Up an Island.

The layman would scarcely associate great strength with so delicate and fragile a thing as maidenhair fern, yet if Its roots have not sufficient room they will break the pot in which the plant grows. Dlades of grass will force the curbstones between which they spring up out of their place, aud in a single night a crop of small mushrooms has been known to lift a large stone. Indeed, plants are on record as having broken the hardest rocks. The island of Aldabra, to tbe northwest of Madagascar, Is becoming smaller through the action of the mangroves that grow along the foot of the cliffs. They eat their way Into the rock in all directions, and Into the gaps thus formed the waves force their way.

In time they will probably reduce tho Island to pieces. stifle American. Tha Polar Bear. Tiie polar bear is a pretty formidable brute. A specimen of this species has been killed weighing 1.000 pounds and measuring nearly thirteen feet from nose to tail.

The strength of the polar bear is beyond belief. One was seen feeding on the body of a white wbalo fifteen feet long and weighing at least three tons. The whale had been drag ged by tbe bear out of tbe water on to the ice. When You Break Cut Glass. An accident to cut glass invariably plunges the owner of it Into clouds of gloom, but often these clouds have silver linings.

Before throwing the pieces away examine each piece separately and see If It could be cut down Into anything smaller. Shops which deal in cut glass usually have a cutter on the premises. A case Is told of a bride who upon entering the dining room arrived in time to see, but not prevent, her maid from pulling instead df pushing the extension table, and as it separated in the middle several pieces of valuable cut glass which had been placed there during tbe cleaning time fell through with a crash to the floor. It seemed a hopeless accident, but a rose bowl was cut down from a decanter, following the pattern near the neck which bad broken off; a small violet holder was cut down from a tall vase, a tiny sugar bowl from a vinegar cruet, and a small bonbon dish was saved from a larger cut glaw bowL Woman's Home Companion.

People at home In the "states" may think the food of the Mexicans meager. It is comprised chiefly of frijoles and tortillas, supplemented by the fruit of the cactus when in season. Tortillas are thin little cakes made of corn boiled with lime, and these serve as the chief food. Every house has a nictate, a sort of stone trough, which rests on the ground, and on this the corn Is" crushed to a paste and then patted into thin round cakes and tossed on a clay griddle to cook. Don't think as you ride down the street that in every house a child is being spanked it Is only the Dattlne sound made by the women as thev deftly shape the tortillas in their hands.

The lime in which the corn is sof tened is said to account for the very strong white teeth of the natives. Frijoles are, of course, beans and after being boiled a long time with onions, chili and other savorv bits are put into boiling lard for their final flavor. Knives and forks are not need ed where a tortilla can be folded in the middle and used as a scoop for tho beans. These two articles of food form almost the entire diet of tbe poor. All food Is very hot.

It seems that while Adams was minister to England Sir John Prestwick, an eminent English antiquary, suggested to him a good motto to represent the union the A merican colonies.

Adams at once was taken with the idea, which he transmitted to Charles Thompson, the secretary of congress, who on June 20. 1782. reported to that body bis design for a government seal. In this tbe Latin legend Pluribus Unum" was to borne on a ribbon held in the beak of an eagle. Just where Sir John got the idea Is not certain, but it is a fact that the motto was In use on the cover of the Gcnlletnan's Magazine, first published hi 1730, and It may have struck bis fancy ly Its applicability to the situ atlon then obtaining in America.
