At Bishop Agrotius' death the cathedral
was not yet existing, At that time it
was still an old town hall, which was
changed into church later on, and re-
built in the middle of the sixth century by
Bishop Nicetius. Who knows if the
whole legend has not been invented by
some witty monk and endorsed by the
bishop to make his seat more prominent?
For nearly fifty years nothing has been
heard of the relic, the clergy not ventur-
ing to expose it again to the critical
glances OF this scientific age, but now they
wish to test Its magic power once more,

TWO MILES A MIN u TIE.
Great Things Claimed by Its Inventor for
One Wheel Cycle.

A one wheel cycle, eight feet high, that
a greenhorn can learn to ride in minute
and then write his name in the dust with
it in fifteen feet of space, not to mention
a speed capacity of two miles In sixty Sec
onds ON good track is the astonishing in
vention which Victor Beranger of Wor-
cester, editor of LIE Courier de Worcester,
claims to have produced after two years of
hard work.
He says his brother in Montreal rode the
phenomenon seventy three miles in one
hour on an ordinary highway, and that
was at the rate of much more than a mile
minute. Mr.. Beranger himself, on a
wager of 800, will leave Worcester some
day in the presence of a number of wit
nesses, so he says, at the same time the
new Chicago flyer" leaves for Boston,
and he promises to arrive at Boston at least
fifteen minutes before the express train
rca hes there, notwithstanding he will have
to travel sixty-six miles by highway as
against forty-four by rail.
If he does it, in the face of the fact that
the highway between Worcester and Bos
ton is in no way prepared for such light
ming trip, "Monsieur will have furnished
the world the biggest sensation possible
short of an actual flying machine. Mr..
Beranger may be an enthusiast, but he has
made applications for patents in five coun-
tries, and his patent in this coun ry is al
ready assured The new cycle will GER
tainfy make the fur Hy in bike" circles if
it goes, for it will be sold for $40 and its
weight will be about fifteen pounds less
than the ordinary Warwick safety"

machine requires from seven to ten times

being Mr.. Geo. Lucas, his father.
The law provides that no member
of the Legislature shall be employ
ed by the Government or receive
any Government contract. In this
case, however, T. R. Lucas is not
employed directly by the Govern
ment, but simply by his father, and
his earnings are not affected by the
fact that this work is being done
for the Government. On this show
ing, it is only justice to exonerate
Mr.. Lucas from any illegality.
We must, however, contend that
the Minister of the Interior is at
fault. The law requires that all
contracts of the value of more than
$500 shall be made only after
calling for tenders. Unfortunately
it fails to provide that the work
must be given out by contract.
This enables the Minister, practic-
ally, to evade the law by giving
work in large amounts to his
friends, without making any con-
tract.
The Waikiki bridge is big job,
which will cost ten to twelve
thousand dollars 1t is just such
work as should be assigned on con-
tract to the lowest bidder Instead
of doing the work in this way, the
Minister of the Interior uses it as
patronage, and gives it to his
friends.
