Wheeling Round the World
Robert Bruce of the staff of Outing,
who has been accompanying Frank G .
Lenz. who is making tour of the world
on a bike" was in the city yesterday en-
route to Omaha. On the afternoon of
June 4th Mr.. Frank G.. LEM, one of the
best known of American amateur wheel.
men, left New York City hall for tuer
OF the world on pneumatic safety bicycle
He reached Chicago July 4th. having
been greatly hindered in his progress by
the rains and bad roads along the route.
July 9th he left Chicago for St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and after a rest of q
day in st. Paul and another in Minneap-
oils. started westward over the Northern
Pacific route for Portland, Oregon. from
where he will wheel to San Francisco
He expects to reach San Francisco by
September 18th and will sail October 1st
for Japan. After spending three weeks
in that country. he will land at Shanghai
where the hardest part of his trip will be-
gin. He will endeavor to wheel overland
to Calcutta, a journey never attempted

wheels through India. Afghanistsn
Asiatic Russia. Persia. Turkey, Servia.
Bulgaria, Austria>Hungary. Germany,
Switzerland, Belgium. France. England,
Scotland and Ireland, thence by steamer
to New York City. The Journey will
probably be completed in the summer OF
1894 and in the meantime this wheelmsn
will cover 90, 600 miles.
1t was expected and predicted that
there would be trouble in getting a char
ter fer bridge across the Mississippi
near the mouth of Duck creek, but, as
has been seen, there was very little if any
trouble. The charter was secured with
out trouble and the pilots are said to be
quite friendly to the construction of a
bridge at that point. Every bridge added
TO those now spanning the Mississippi
increases the difficulty of the pilots
duties. but at the point proposed it is
said that a bridge can be so built as not
to make as little trouble as possible
The Democrat concludes:
The people of LeClsire and Princeton
townships are as enthusiastic as ever over
the coming Of the road. These two
townships are said TO be likely to vote a
tax in as istance of the construction of
the line, and the same sort of assistance
is expected on the other side OF the Wsp-
sic river. in Clinton county. The people
all along the route proposed are fully
aroused. Apathy to the project see ms to
exist only in Davenport. If this is so
fellow citizens, it is time to wake up.
Mr.. LEM is an amateur wheelman. and
is making the trip under the auspices OF
Outing. for which he contributes the
history of his trip and photographs taken
en- route. He is native of Pittsburs
Pa. and has several times ridden ovel
the Alleghenies to prepare for this gres
trip

Pinfs of Iinuid Oxygen.

During Professor Dewar's lecture at the
Royal institution on liquefied oxygen and
liquefed air, he produced both liquetied
oxygen and liquefed air, the oxygen in
pints, and even the liquefed air was
handed around In claret glasses. Liquid
oxygen boils in air at lS9 dogs. centigrade
that is, 1872 degs. of the centigrade scale
below zero. The liquid oxygen placed be
tween the poles Of Faraday's great magnet
behaved like metal, leaping up to the
poles and clinging TO them till it disap-
peared as gas But liquid oxygen, though
so strongly magnetic, is a very bad con-
ductor Of electricity. 1t is a nonconducting
magnet.
He showed, too, that so far as chemists
can Judge there is probably no oxygen
in the sun-the oxygen of the earth's at

Of liquid air is 1872 dogs. centigrade or 10
degs. lower than that Of oxygen. 1t is
not true, as had been supposed, that the
oxygen in the air liquefies before the other
elements in air; on the contrary, the air
liquefes as air and is not resolved into its

Time went on and the little wonder was
almost six months old. Then one day Mrs.
Morse said to her husband at dinner, Il

"You-whatp calculated Mr.. Morse,

Morse, quietly.
"Why-what-ho did It happeni" asked
the astonished husband and father, gazing
blankly at his smiling wife.
1T was very simple" said Mrs. Morse.
"You see the census man came, and after
he'd asked me how old the baby was, he
said, And his name, pleasep And before
