parentage, English birth, who has mar
ried German lady, and now resides in

ship being thus adequately impressed
upon us, we forthwith began to learn of
him. He informed us that new law
has just been passed whether for the
German empire, or for some state only,
we cannot now recall) which seriously
affects cyclists there. Every rider
must now be licensed by the authori-
ties, must carry his registered number
in large figures on an enameled plate
which can be seen from either side. be-
sides another plate bearing the same in
scription in the rear of his machine.
His lamp, also, must bear the registered
number. Pace has been reduced to a
mere crawl, and he must not pass a
pedestrian closer than one and a quarter
yards. He must absolutely dismount
in the presence of horned cattle, and
walk beyond them to a safe distance
before resuming his saddle. There are
many more imposing restrictions, but
we cannot remember sufficient of a
casual conversation to recount them.
Our friend promised to send us Ger
man paper containing the full text, and
II it comes we will reproduce it in our
best translation as a curiosity. We
don't mean that the translation will be
