The Speed of Bicycles.
The Kolnische Zeitung gives an &C.
count Of some interesting experiments
which were tried by Major Brix, the
commander OF the Militar-Turnan-
stalt in Berlin, in order to test the
speed of bicycles as compared with
that of horses, for the purpose of con-
veying dispatches to Berlin and Weis-
sensee. The distances attempted
were, from Strassburg to Weissensee,
a distance of just under "a miles, and
from Eberswalbe to Weissensee, So
miles. In the latter journey two cav
airy officers rode against two infantry
officers mounted on bicycles. The
latter accomplis he'd the Journey in
215 minutes and 21O minutes re-
spectively, while the two lieutenants
on horseback arrived at their destin-
alton seven minutes before the first
bicycle rider. In the shorter distance
the same result was obtained, the
riders arriving a few minutes in adj
vance of the bicyclists. In both cases
the cavalry officers only rode at GAL
Top for the first Is minutes OF The
journey while the bicyclists went at
full speed all the way.

It was in The hot room of a Turkish

veteran lay on one of the cots softly
humming battle song, when he was
approached by a young man arrayed
in the regulation bath-house toga.

theyoung man.
"Ah, jim! is that your" said the
General. "No, not often. I'm not

The sheet covering the General had
become displaced and an ugly looking
scar on his thigh was disclosed. Jim
noticed it.

and looked at the Scared veteran
with admiration. He put his hands
under the back of his head, and upon
invitation launched into a series OF
thrilling war stories, keeping them up
until one by one the crowd had melted
away, each disappearing through the
door that led to the plunge. Then the
veteran gathered his toga about him
and started after them.
"Nearly shot to pieces" suggested
one who had fingered.
"Who?" asked the veteran:
"Why, you," replied the stranger.
"Me?" Twas never shot,"

WASHINGTON, April 3--News received
at the war department of the results Of the
efforts being made by western army officers
to carry out the provisions Of the army
appropriation bill authorizing the enlist
ment in the regular army of 1900 indian
recruits is very discouragiug The officers
report that the Indians will not enlist in the
infantry under any circumstances, as they
abhor walking. They will not enlist in the
cavalry except as scouts. because they do not
care to bind themselves to Eve years serv-
ice. nor TO lie subject to removal TO distant
parts Of the country. Then, too, they want
their women with them, and a great ma
jority of the bucks are physically unfit for
military service. 1t Is doubted whether a
single Indian company can be recruited in
the west.
