The Clinton News-Record, 1898-11-03, Page 2a E _.a i =1__`r} 1 NOTES AND G'OMtM.,�NTS. The announcement that the "roller skating oraze" Is about to sweep over the country again this winter will at- tract public attention to the manner in which the discovery of the • ball bearing principle has revolutionized mechanical construction in the vast number of industrial actitrities. So Universal has become the adoption of this principle in all devices where it is desirable to do away with triction, that the world may be said at this time to be actually moving along on ball bearings. Of course the ball bear- ing idea reached its greatest mechani- cal perfection in the modern bicycle. This acme of easy and delightful 1000- motion would not have been possible without the ball bearing axle. The hub of the wheel is filled with tittle steel balls that press against the axle and revolve around dt with the motion of the wheel, thus reducing friction to a minimum -in fact, almost entirely destroying it. The average person who glides smoothly along on a bicycle has little conception of the increased muscular effort that would be required to propel his vehicle ff mounted on the old style of axles. . But the bicycl n claim no mon- op•oly of the .ball bearing principle. Fortunately it is one of those inven- tions upon which no man or combina- tion of men has a monopoly. The far- mer en joys the luxury of a device that dispenses with friction when he rides his sulky piowf it has shoved up the fast records of the turf several notches; it has ,enabled the housewife to push her heavy furniture from one room to another without hiring two or three muscu'ar men to do it for her. Tb,p old-time castor that used to dig deep furrows into the hard wood floor has given place to the easy run- ning ball bearing castor, which makes a piano as light as a baby cab. And now It has taken hold • of the miler skate and threatens to revive a win- ter pastime that at one time took all the cities and towns by storm. When the people find how easy it is to glide along on a ball bearing roller skate it is believed by enthusiasts that the rinks will not be large enough to hold the skaters. . Something is needed in winter t•o fill the same place that bicycling does in summer. Our winters cannot be de- penied upon for outdoor skating. No one can deny that roller skating, if properly conducted in well-managed rinks, is a healthful and invigorating exercise. It would not be strange if the same mechanical device which has placed more than half the human family on wheels in the summer put them on roller skates in winter. This is a swift moving age. The ball 'bearing principle is destroying the friction of life. We are moving along more rapidly each year and with less expenditure of human energy. Perhaps the twentieth century will find the entire human family gliding along in ball bearing shoes.• . TREATING. � DS. Vlow to Give First Aid to a Wounded Person. The rendering of "first aid" to a , wounded person calls especially for thei kDercise of two qualities -coolness and common sense. The sight of blood is very apt to terrify the inexperienced$ but it should be remembered that in th" •case of all except the most exten- sive wounds, the escape of blood is sel- dom. so rapid that it cannot be stopped before the injured person is in any real danger of bleeding to death. Even if the wounded person should faint there. is nor cause for despair, for that is often they very best thing that can happen, as then the pressure of the blond within the arteries is redulc, ed and the hemorrhage will not im- probably cease spontaneously. Th•e first duty of the amateur Bur- geon is to expose the wound to view by • cutting awa,, the clothing, if ne- oessary. m� next thing to do is to stop the bleeding, if it is profuse en- ough to be alarming. The third duty of the "firet aider" is to cleanse the wound, if it contains dust or dirt, stinks, or pieces of clothing. If the blood is simply oozing from the surface of the wound, raising th limb -it It is an arm or leg that i injured -and exposing the past: to th air will usually be all that is nate sary. If the blood is coming in spout, sbowing that. an artery is in ,jured, pressure directly on the bleed ing spot with a lead -pencil or the fin ger, covered with two or three layer of a clean handkerchief, will general] greatly reduce the flow, if it does no arrest it altogether. • (Bending the knee as far as it wi] go will stop the flow of blood throug the artery when the wound is in t leg below, and In the same way bend ing the elbow will stop the bleedin from a wounded artery in the forear or hand. The bleeding part should never b covered with layer ,upon layer of rags for they only act as apoultice and fa vor the hemorrhage. If the woun is filled with •sticks] and stones it ma be cleansed sufficiently for the tim being by washing it in a stream n water, but it should riot be toucbe with the fingers, if that can be avoided nor above, all, should it ever be wipe with dirty rags. If a clot of blood has formed, it mus not be disturbed by, washing or in an other way', even If the wound is din ty. In such case; all that there - id t do is to lay a clean folded handker chief over the wound, and creep th patient quiet, with the wounded par elevated, If it happens to be an ar or a leg, until the doctor comes. • SUBURBAN COLORINGS. ; Artist, with elevated eyebrow Humph I You've been having you house painted, I ate.
