W. B. Valentine of Painesville, O., is the
inventor of upisycle, which promises, when
tully perfected, to astonish the world BY its
utility and the speed of which it will be ca
pable. The vehicle consists of wheel II
feet 10 inches in diameter, which gives a
conference Of 40 feet The centre of the
wheel is pierced by shaft, into which the
spokes extend from the tire at a consider.
able angle. Suspended from the centre Of
the shaft in the space between the spokes is
the scat to be occupied by the operator. In
propelling the wheel the operator works a
treadle that is 30 adjusted as to utilize his
full weight in ascending hills or traversing
heavy roads. On each end of the shaft
hangs an iron rod that extends to within q
lew inches from the ground. By an ingen'
ious continuance, the lower end Of these rods
which are denominated safety rods
can be shifted at the pleasure of the opera
Tor to positions near to or some distance
from the tire Of the wheel. The regulation
speed Will, however, be two revolutions per
second, which is easily attained, and will
represent rate Of almost a mile minute.
