TWO MILES A MINUTE.
Great Things Claimed by Its InventSe
for "a One Wheel Cycle.

A one wheel cycle eight feet high, that
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 a good track, is the astonishing in
ventou which Victor Beranger, Of WOr-
cester, editor of lie Courier de Wor-
cester, 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
wager of 500, 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 the Hub at least
fifteen minutes before the express train
reaches there, Notwithstanding that he
will have to travel sixty-six miles by high
way as against forty-four by rail.
II 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.
Berangcr may be an enthusiast, but he has
made applications for patents in five COuu-
tries, and his patent in this country is al
ready assured. The new cycle will Ger
tainy make the fur fly in "bike" circles il
It goes, for it will be sold for seventy dol
lars, and its weight will be about fifteen
pounds less than the ordinary Warwick
Safety"
The inventor claims that to propcl his
machine requires from seven to ten times
less power than is required on the ordinary
bicycle. Indeed the difficulty he seems to
fear most Is vast excess of power, which
will make the machine unmanageable TO
the ordinary person Though its terrific
speed. II the one wheel cycle, according
to the inventors designs, is practicable its
availability for people who nowadays ride
bicycles merely for pleasure may be ques-
toned, unless 1t can be easily controlled
and kept at a slow rate of speed.
According to Mr.. Beranger. thirty pushes
minute on the pedals equals about forty
miles an hour. If machines Of this sort
are to go cavorting about the country at
even that rate, new problems in highway
regulation are to be solved. On the other
| hand, if these machines can be propelled
on prepared roads at much greater speed
than is attained by locomotives, the COM
mercial opportunities for them may be i'm
mense. But meanwhile Mr. Beranger has
| to demonstrate to the world the success ot
his Observation-Disclosures Republican.

The Mexican Swell on Horseback

The Mexican swell rides on a saddle
worth fortune. 1t is loaded with silver
trimmings, and hanging over it is an eN-
pensive serape, or Spanish blanket which
adds to the magnihcence of the whole. HIS
queer shaped stirrups are redoent Of tho
old mines. His bride is in like manner
adorned with metal in the shape of half a
dozen big silver plates and to his bit is at
tached pair of knotted red cord reius,
which he holds high up and loose.
He is dressed in a back velvet jacket
frnged and embroidered with silver, and
a huge and expensive hat perched on his
head is tilted over one ear. His LEGS are
incased In dark tight fitting brooches, with
silver trimming down the side seams hu5
cut SO as in summer weather to uubItton
from the knee down and flap aside. HIS
spurs are silver, big and heavy ami costly,
and fitted 20 buckle round hi, high cut
heel, Under his left leg is fastened "a BROAD
bladed and beautifully curved sword, VITA
hilt worthy a prince of the blood.
The seat OF this exquisite is the perfect

and outward, with heels depressed i'm a
