eut plans were presented to the Patent
Office in Washington, bat none of them
has proven successful. Loomis mas ap-
piled for a patent for his machine, which
is simplicity itself, being a regular safety
machine half inside a big wheel.
The large center wheel is Mae feet in
diameter, and the inner circumference,
connected by spekes TO the outer wheel,
is eight feet in diameter and rides the big

contact with the earth. 50 that it Is con-

revolution of the small one, aad pro-
duces increased speed and power. Oae

convex. with one surface of rubber.
The operator rides saddle inside the
big wheel, over and somewhat near tue
driving wheel As the centre OF the
driving wheel TO its point of contact
with the big wheel is eighteen inches,
and the distance from this point OF con-
tact 10 the earth only little over SIX
inches, the rider would be about the
same distance above the ground as n
regulation safety
Two smaller wheels, eight inches in
diameter strikes the inner circumference
of the big wheel, pressed By one strong
spring, which increased the friction,
steadies the whole machine and holds
the things together. The steering ap-
paratus consists OF wires run from bar
lust under the hand bar to the rear
wheel These wires cross under the
saddle so as to be ouS OF the way. The
action is thus the same as in working
boat rudder.
The steering wheel is three feet in
diameter The middle spring and other
details are the same as in other machines.
The great speed can be easily figured
The big wheel has twenty-seven feet ciE-
conference and the driving wheel niue
feet. SO that by every turn of the three
foot wheel the machine is propelled
tweDty-seven feet.
By applying the great action as IN
common safety, the speed Is Increased
and the power greatly multiplied.
A mile could be easily made In two
minutes on a good road, and probably the
speed of a mile minute attained 1t per-
sons wished TO tide so fast. Loonlis has
designed the 1nachiue for general utility
purposes He is confident that 1t will
prove big success.

highly priced edible fish.
The striped bass fishing in the Shrews-

Small weakfish now swarm in Barnegat
Bay, and few large fish are still being
taken. Blue fish are plentiful.

Some fine Dlnckbass have been caught
recently IN the canal between Newark
and Bloomfield, They came from Hopat-
cong and Greenwood Lake. as we'll as
from the Rockaway River. aud it is quite
natural that they should be in the canal.
They are especially plentiful in the
compton feeder at Mountain View, but
fish Of more than one pound weight are
seldom caught.
Seabass of the humpback variety are
biting freely at the Banks OF Long
Branch.
some splendid catches or blackbass
were made last week at Greenwood Lake
by anglers. who took advantage of the
bright moonlight to skitter or cast frogs
at night. e. Rothchila and Mr.. Snyder,
OF New York, who were stopping at the
Casino, took seventeen fish on Thursday
night Still fishing with crjckets, craw-
fish and helgramites furnishes good sport
in the daytime
Harrison now boasts of fishing club.
1t is called the Excelsior.
Pickerel are biting well now at Lake
Hopatcong and all other pickerel ponds
September is the month when the big fish
bite, but it requires weight on the line
aud deep trolling with live bait to get
them. Some of the finest pickerel in
New Jersey are found in Green pond. but
they are extremely wary aud difficult to
entice out OF water
The handsome pole and reel offered as
a prize for the largest fish caught from
the Asbury Park fishing pier, has been
awarded TO James Wogiom of New York.
His catch was an eight pound bass.

Railroad, east bound The train does not
stop in this city. The hagman at the
crossing, William Stiles, waved his flag
aud warned the driver of the car, Jonn
Swansey, not to attempt TO cross
The caution was unheeded, and the
driver boldly drove on the crossing and
began whipping the horse to make him
90 faster. The animal not liking this
treatment. stopped abruptly and refused
to bulge. Meanwhiie.the train was fast
nearing the crossing, and the few passen-
gers in the car fed to the street. The
driver became greatly excited and ran
into the car, where he crouched In abject
terror. The brave hagmnn, seeing the
car was doomed, sprang forward. loos-
ened the pin that held the shafts TO the
car, aud pulled the trembling animal
away just moment before the locomo-
tive crashed into the car
The engineer on the train had applied
the air brakes, but the car WAS struck
with such force as to turn it completely
around. All the windows were shattered.
the rear platform was knocked of and a
corner of the car was smashed. The
driver escaped unhurt He tried to
throw the responsibility for the accident
on the flagman, but all the witnesses of
the affair declared the driver was wholly
to blame
A similar accident was barely averted
on Thursday, when driver of car filled
with people going to the State Fair per-
sisted in stopping on the railroad crossing
