which at this period took an interest
In cycling, It was lot long before Eug-
land came into the field with numerous
Improvements, an ong which may be
mention ed those appertairing to the
hobbyhorse, the facilitator and
the various vehicles moved by
hand. The next great improvement
was made in 1886. when Michaux and
his son conceived the ingenious idea Of
adding cranks and pedals to the guiding
wheel. There has been much discussion
of late as to whether the elder Michaux
or his son was the real initiator OF the
pedal. and the conclusion arrived at is
that each of them is equally entieled to
praise for the improvement. Anyhow,
the introduction of the pedal gave a
great impulse to the practice of cycling
a1fdsthis impulse has continued TO grow
ever greater up to the present time.
The history Of cycling in France since
the days Of Michaux is well known.

POWER OF THE CARlCATU7k

Needed Reforms fastened by This
Newspaper Weapon, JudiciOusly
Selected.
1t is said of 4 politician who -four
ished in New York a quarter Of cen
fury ago that he cared very little what
people said or papers printed about
him, but that he was exceedingly sens
tive to a caricature and the ridicule
expressed in the illustrated papers of
his day. Comparatively few people
seem to realize what a wonderfully
effective weapon, judiciously managed,
caricature is. According to the New
York Ledger, it is almost safe to assert
that any needed reform may be-
brought about more quickly by means
of properly handled caricature than in
any other way. But to be the most eff
fective it must not be too broad. 1t
should be suggestive rather than ag-
! gressive, and must stop short of any
thing approaching the license that
! would disgust the observer. The
strength of caricature lies in its truth
| fulness and in the clear way in which
! it is presented to the eye. Caricature
for partisan or personal ends is rarely
| as successful as when it is enlisted in
the cause of some much-needed reform,
for it appeals to only a limited num-
Der of persons. When it strikes at
abuse, something that needs general re-
form, everybody understands it and
everybody appreciates it. Then let it
be truthful, clear and. to the point, and
it is an almost irresistible force.
Good caricaturists are few, and the
best Of them have for the most part
been guilty Of the most offensive par
tisanship. They have lost sight, not
alone of truthfulness, but of common
decency in their ,delineations. The
young artist who desires to take up this
form of illustrating will do well never
for one moment to lose sight of the
fact that the higher the moral tone OF
his work the more acceptable it will be
and the more effective. The arrows OF
low caricature fall almost powerless
while the truth brought out in such q
way is as keen as two-edged sword
If more of this sort of journalism were
available and it's judicious handling
were better understood very many
abuses that now aff1ict the human fam.
lily might be put an end to. = That such
service, we'll performed, is appreciated
is evident in an English caricaturist
who has recently been knighted as q
recognition of his talents, and Of him
it may be said that the strength of his
work was it's truthfulness; that he was
never unreasonably partial to a friend
or unjustly severe u an enemy. He
caricatured situations rather than peo
pie, bringing in the: public characters
of the day more as figures in grouping
than as objects for his keenest satire
It would be we'll for younger and less
: experienced artists" to learn a lessor
from such careers. It would, indeed
be well always to remember that the
successful wars are waged not agains
persons, but against conditions. An In
dividunl has his supporters, be he evel
so dishonorable or unjust. A public
abuse, while it may benefit a few
does so in a way that makes it Difficult
for even it's most enthusiastic support
ers long to sustain it when opposed by
honest, keen satire and truthful ant
trenchant arguments. i"

out from libraries and from the rem
iniscences Of all the old cyclers the vari-
GUS stages through which the machine
has passed, and he has discovered traces
of it as far back as the fifteenth cen
fury. Other traces appear in the six
teenth century, and in the seventeenth
century an English chronicler reports
that a Jesuit named Klcius Travelled
through a part of China Oh a machine
with three wheels. Until 1870, how
ever, there is no evidence that cycling
was practised in real earnest. At that
date appeared for the first time the
'celeri feres," designed by NJ. de Sivrac.
This machine consisted of two wheels,
moving on the same axis and fixed be-
low a wooden beam, which was fantaS-
tically carved and otherwise adorned.
On this the rider mounted in such a
manner that his feet touched the ground
and were thus able to give an impulse
to the entire machine.
Introduction of the Steering Appnr-
atus.
Next in order is the machine which
Baron Drais perfected some time after
ward and to which in consequence the
name Draisienne has been given. Be
fore this time, however, the prototype
Of our graceful bicycle was known by
another name, that Of "velocitere, .
which, by the way, was the title Of q
comedy by Dupaty and Moreau, which
was presented at the Vaudeville in
Paris in 1904. In 1915 Baron Drais
modified the IL achine; he conceived tn.
idea Of guiding wheel, that is to say
he provided the front wheel with joints
and Il steering apparatus, which permit
ted the rider to go in whatever direc
ton he pleased and without the neces
sity of descending from the machine

Preserving Eggs.

The value of salicylic acid as COM
pared with other methods of preserving
eggs has been thoroughly tested by the
New York experiment station. The
eggs We're all wiped when fresh with a
rag saturated with some antiseptic and
packed tightly in SALT bran, etc. Eggs
packed during April and May in salt,
and which had been wiped with cotton
seed oil, to which had: been added
boracic acid, kept from four to five
months with a loss of nearly one-third,
the quality of those saved not being
good. Eggs packed in bran, after the
same preliminary handling, were; all
spoiled after four months. Eggs pack
ed in salt during March and April,
after wiping with vaseline, to which
salicylic acid had been added, kept four
| or five months without loss, the quality
after four months being much superior
to ordinary eggs. These packed were
| all kept in the barn cellar, the ordinary
temperature of each box varying little
from 66 deg Fahrenheit, and each box
was turned over once every two days.
Little difference was observed in the
keeping Of the fertile or unfertile eggs
and no difference was noticeable in the
| keeping qualities Of eggs from different
| fowls OF. from those on different IA
| tons.
