SANTANELLI EXPOSED. One «l Hl* A< complice* Tell* How the Lonu Hypnotic Sleep I* .Managed, A few weeks ago the greatest alleged hypnotist in the world, Santanelli, startled the country with his teats. He put young men to sleep tor a week. At Ft. Wayne he was arrested by request of the Humane •society, who asked' that the sleeper be produced in court under a writ of habeas corpus. But he could not be awakened apparently either by Santanelli or the officers, and he slept the prescribed time. A committee ot citizens kept watch to see that no food was slipped to the sleeper, and it was decided the steep was a genuine hypnotic state of unconsciousness. Learned pro: fessors set the seal el their approval on Santanelli, and he proceeded to the east to astonish the natives. But in a Connecticut town he came to grief. Among the watchers were two policemen, who were argus-'eyed. They would not read a paper or bat their eyes when on watch, and the unfortunate sleeper nearly starved to death. Finally a confederate was detected passing a sandwich under the bed cover. He professed to be surprised when the bread and meat was found, and declared an enemy had put it there to rmn the show. But the sleeper, a 1 boy named .Mahoney, had had enough, and he confessed that the whole thing was a fake. Be and others had allowed pms to be stuck into them, and to have their lips sewed together, and had endured tortures of various kinds with stoical fortitude for pay. Great stories of the feats of Hindoo fakirs are told, but this boy was as clever as they. He had marvelous control of certain muscels, acquired by long practice, and by exercising them independently he could increase the pulse to apparently the danger point, and set his heart to beatiiig like a trip hammer. But the hardest part wjw to keep awake for a week while feigning sleep. For the first thing to guard against was falling into a real sleep. If he had become unconscious a sudden noise would have awakened him with a start spoiled the game. Verily, as Barnum used to observe, the great American public loves to be humbugged. But in this case the self exposed hireling of Santanelli is about a curiosity as , when he was faking.—Bluffton News. Notice.

About Pneumatic Tires. It has long been a question a* to whether a double-tube or single-tube tire enables n rider to mane the best time in a race, and thousands of dollars have been paid by tire makers and promoters to prove their claims. Tire makers have maintained racing teams at great expense, and some of them are beginning to think that this large expense is rank extrftvagence, These same advert’sers have, however, done mueh to make the sport ot bicycle Tiding attractive, and have done more than all other intluenees put together to show the possibilities of the bicycle. The kiekers are those makers whose tires have failed. The bicycle stands today as practically the only attractive form of outdoor sport, and is proved to be one of the most healthy and useful forms of recreation, furnishing an incentive for outdoor exercise, something that Americans particularly were much in need of until the bicycle came into general use. This is the opinion of those tire makers whose tires have not failed—the double-tubers—ami who-are willing to go on with the expense, singe it is so mueh to their advantage. it is now conceded by all who pretend to tt have knowledge of the bicycle,and of tires, that the double-tube tire is the most practical, and, at the same time, the fastest form ot tire in the world. In the so-called single-tube tire, wherein the whole fabric of the tire is cemented and vulcanized together, the walls of the tire are made of several layers of fabric, and the tires thus made are stiff and unyielding, as compared with tlie double-tube tire, in jvhich, the inner lining is free to move independently of the outer wearing eoyer. All the important speed records of the world are now held by the doublertube tires, and during the present year it is interesting to note that nearly ail of the fastest riders of the United States are mounted on this form of tire. As the racing man Loses no opportunity to select such apparatus as will conduce to the last item of speed, realizing that, his reputation, salary and consequent glory depend upon his Success as a racing man and a winner, he has gradually abandoned the single-tube form of tire and taken to the double tube. Asa result of this the records have been repeatedly lowered in the last year, and new records are now- being made almost daily. It is apparent that the days of the single-tube are numbered, and that in a short time no racing man will feel properly equipped unless mounted on a double-tube tire, a ► An important point in favor of doubletube tires is that they are greatly more durable. The singe-tube tire is all right fora very short time, but its average life, owing to tiie peculiarities of its construction. is but a few months. When the sing-le-tube is once punctured it seems impossible to repair it so that it will remain airtight. The plugs, whether vulcanized in or not, soon work loose, beside disfiguring the tire and making hard lumps, which on a smooth road can be felt at each revolution of the wheel. The United States are about two years late in trying the single-tube tire.. It was thoroughly tested out in use, in England and on the continent, two years ago, and has been completely abandoned there because of lack of durability, impossibility of repair, and the constant accompaniment of slow leaks which cannot be located. It is a very difficult matter to make a tire air-tight. The holding of the air depends upon the integrity of the inner, lining. Ln tires frhm which this inner lining cannot be removed, it is impossible to make them air-tight for any length of time. It Is important for a new rider to know that many leaks are from causes that cannot be located on the outer surface of the tire, hence the importance of having tire tube which contains the air removable for inspection and repair.
