WONDERFUL WHEEL RIDING.

The international bicycle race in
New York resulted in the triumph
of William Martin, who broke the
record and made more than 1866
miles in 142 hours. His success is
that of an Irish-American, and the
green flag and the Stars and Stripes
are the proper emblems of his roll
ing supremacy.
The sporting hero of the hour
was born in Dublin, Ireland, Jan
uary, 1869. He was three years
old when brought to the United
States. His chief claim to distinc-
ton is found in his astonishing per-
Torrance of last week, but be has
won several races as an amateur in
the West. Until now he has been
unsuccessful as professional, and
in race at Detroit had the misfor-
tune to break his leg. The superior
endurance by means of which he
won at New York in the event
which gives him worldwide pre-
eminence as a bicyclist, is said to
be in a great measure due to his
abstemious habits. Martin is a total
abstainer from alcoholic liquors of
all kinds, and from the use of to-
baccO.-EX.

Heir To $4,000, 900.

New YORK, November 16.-Little
John Jacob Astor the sixth, who is
heir to more millions than any
prince of the old world, and who
only began his earthly career yes
terday morning, is bright and chip
per and weighs ten pounds. He is
doing exceedingly we'll, as is his
mamma.
Many callers came to the house
on Fifth avenue to- day to inquire
after the welfare of the little
stranger and his family. The
father, John Jacob Astor, has not
been told of the advent of his son;
being too ill with typhoid fever.
This newest John Jacob Astor is
heir to the SI5O,OOO,OOO fortune Of
his grandfather, William Astor
whose grandfather in turn was the
original John Jacob and the most
famous of all the Astors. William
Waldorf Aston, the richest of the
living Astors, is the infants uncle
being the son of John Jacob Astor
the third, who was a brother OF
William Astor, whose fortune the
baby will inherit.
Captain D. P. Dobbins, superin-
tendent of the life.saving service Of
lakes Erie and Ontario and the
Ohio river, is trying to complete
arrangements for the exhibition at
the Worlds Fair, in Chicago, OF
the gunboat Niagara, which is sunk
in good state of preservation in
Massasauga bay, Erie harbor.
Captain Dobbin's father was the
builder of the American feet OF
1925, and the captain has in his
possession Commodore Perry's per-
sonal records and memoranda. The
Niagara and Lawrence were sunk
soon after the engagement on lake
Erie, eighty years ago. The Law
renee was raised and taken to Phil
adelphia in 1876, but was burned
there. The Niagara was purchased
by Captain Dobbins and taken to
Erie, where she still lies under
water. The guns with which the
Niagara was originally manned
have been secured, and will be upon
the decks at the fair. Captain Dob
bins planned and helped to put into
operation the first life-saving sta
ton on the great lakes.

THE GATE OF SLEEP.

Lying between the dusk and dawn OF night,
Upon the borders of the sea of sleep,
Lo, oft there cometh in the fading light
The break of surges in the eternal deep
The soul of me swims out across the space
That yawns between the pulse of life and
death;
The senses fall the spirit seeks its place
With those that dwell beyond the gates Of
breath
A touch, q start; the passing power is broken;
The soul is moveless midway in its fight;
The body claims it, and there Is no token
Brought out from that haven of the night.
II could hold the light that on me grows
When DER the brink of sleep my spirit
speeds,
Then could voice the mystery that flows
'Twixt life and death. tween truth and hu-
man creeds.
But lol upon the sacred door of sleep
There is a craven law of import high:
He who would sound the secrets of this deep
Must lay him down in solitude to die"
w. j. Henderson in New York Times.

A whiphoisting. pruln.

A novel machine called a hiphoisting
drum has been invented in Rhode Island
for unloading lumber and other freight
from vessels, and is found to be a great
improvement on ordinary methods in
the saving of time and labor The ma
chine has three drums which operate two
derricks and a central line which runs to
the hold of the vessel; the power is fur
nished by an. electric motor of ten horse
power, the capacity of the motor being
500 volts and making 1000 revolutions
to the minute.
A belt connects the motor with the
shaft which operates the drums, the
power being transferred to the drums by
what is called a paper friction; each
drum is operated by lever, and can be
stopped in an instant. The motor is a
self oiling machine, a drop.of oil falling
on the bearings every thirty seconds.
When the lumber is drawn from the
vessel, a large hook from the wharf der
rick is attached, and the sticks are trans
ferred in the most ready manner to any
part of the yard. New Y York. Sun.

A BUN Fight with Fun in It.


In ordinary accounts of bull fights you
hear of the sickening sight of disembow
eled horses and bleeding men and butch
cred bulls. This went on with ever
changing fun, shouts and laughter, but
no one was either hurt or got the CO.
cardes. Whoever thinks it is merely a
joke to go down into one of these enor-
nous arenas and snatch the tiny rosette
from between the horns of a beast who
has been trained all his life to keep him
from getting it, will find that he has a
large piece of work cut out for him. For
fun Provencal bull fight beats panto-
mime.
For danger and expertness it is far
ahead of anything ever saw. AS it goes
on every Sunday in the summer time all
over Provence, Frenchmen regard it as
too common an affair to be worth de-
scription. Foreigners, never going there
at the proper season-the summer and
autumn-never or scarcely ever see it.
And even down in La Camargue, on the
banks of the Rhone, in little towns, all of
which save Aigues-Mortes are unknown,
the courses, like baseball matches, are
held every fete day. They are the sport
of the people, and have much more char
acter in the small towns.-Joseph PEN
nell in Century.

How Expensive Tea Is selected.

Mr.. F. K. Andrews writes to the Lon
don Times: "It may be interesting to
some of your readers to know how the
tea sold at almost fabulous prices is Sc
lected. Every chest of very fine Ceylon
tea contains great quantity of ''fowery
Pekoe," i. e., small golden tipped, unde-
veloped leaves. A tea of this descrip-
tion is usually sold at about four shil-
lings pound. A handful of such tea is
spread on a piece of satin about "a
inches by 6 inches, the satin is then lightly
folded and the tea lightly shaken to and
fro half a dozen times, which process
causes the fluffy tips to become entangled
in the silk; the heavier black leaves are
then shaken out. The f1owery Pekoe
thus obtained still has mixed with it
some of the coarser leaves, SO the process
is repeated again and again until the
product is quite golden and fossy. About
half a pound may thus be obtained out
of every chest of choice Ceylon tea.

"Air Cutters,, on Trains.

Master Mechanic Buchanan, of the Van
derbilt lines. has been at work on an idea
for new coach and engine for long time.
He is experimenting on steel coach, with
both ends shaped similar to ships prov.
He wants his cars lighter and his engines
heavier, for greater speed. He believes a
steel cover can be arranged on the engine
so that the air cannot eddy around the cab
and the boilers. The entire scheme would
be on the line of the least possible resist
ance to the atmosphere.
He believes the railroad train of the fu-
ture will make seventy-five or eighty miles
an hour between this city and Chicago

Self Possession Is a Strong Trait,

9 There is nothing like self possession in
all emergencies. Not long ago clever
woman was dining at handsome board
in an interior city. She had never, as it
happened, seen lime juice offered in the
course of meal. When the bottle was
handed around, some salad had just been
served to her, and without. giving the
matter any thought she assumed the
liquid to be sauce piquante for the salad
and dashed q few drops on her lettuce
In an instant she became aware, by
that sort of intuition which is in the air
at such times; that she had done some
thing wrong, and when she saw her
neighbor adding; some of the contents of
the bottle to his glass of water, she di-
vined at once what her blunder had
sbeen.4
The meal progressed and she finished
her salad with apparent relish. Her
hostess pressed more upon her, and she
accepted a second serving. Then, with
a little. air of not having every thing
quite to her liking, she looked up and
down the table and signaled the waitress:
sFhe lime Juice, please. 2 she said nom
chalantly,. las if salad without lime
juice were an uneatables dish. This bit
of adroitness at once:set her in niche
among TIE company as an epicure of oc-
cult and unquestioned knowled dge.2Her
