I.icyclc LAVA In Zurich.

A correspondent at Zurich, Switzer-
land, gives a translation from the daily
paper of the city's laws concerning bi-
cycling. Bicycling is only allowed upon
written permission issued to competent
riders. This permission must be carried
by the rider. 1t contains his name, oc-
cupation, date Of birth, place of nativity
and address, and it costs francs a year.
Racing is forbidden, and in narrow
streets the rider must dismount. Spe-
cial stress is laid upon the speed of the
machine.
On crowded streets, turning corners,
the rider must go slow. He must not
ride without using the handles Of his
machine to steer by. He must ring his
bell in ample time, and if that is not
needed he must politely warn the e'pedes-
trian. Care must be taken not to worry
or frighten the foot passenger. On a sin
gle seated bicycle not more than one per.
son may sit. More than two bicycles are
not permitted to ride abreast. On holi-
days, when the streets are crowded. bi-
cycling is not permitted at all.
On the other hand, the bicycle shares
with other vehicles the privileges of the
road. Should the rider be the cause OF
an accident to a pedestrian he must dis
mount, render what assistance lies in
his power and give his name and address
to an officer, together with written re.
port of the MT ysr.~Chicago Journal.

Historic Houses of Washington.

TO most visitors Washington is only
the seat of government, and interesting
merely because of the department build
ings, the White House and the capitol.
Having seen these, with the National
museum and the Smithsonian institu-
ton, tourists go away content. They
dc not pause TO think that nearly all the
great mon of the nation have at one time
or another had homes at the capitol, and
have here done very large share of the
work that has made them famous.
Yet so true is this that no other city
on this continent is so rich in historical
associations, and these associations are
in the homes of the capital. They clus-
ter around houses that have sheltered
the makers of the republic and are in
volved with those personal incidents
that are the most fascinating part of
history, Some Of these spots are remote
from the portions of the city now fire.
quented by visitors.
Georgetown, which hourished before
Washington was laid out even on paper,
and whose older inhabitants still look
uOWn Oh al lle region edSt Vi IIOck
creek with placid scorn, has a large
number of fine old buildings, several of
them richly stored with relics of the
Revolutionary period.
Capitol hill, at the other extremity of
the city, is justly proud of the fact that
General Washington designed it to be
the site of the great metropolis that
should bear his name; that the capitol
faces eastward: that every president at
his inauguration takes the oath of Office
looking toward the dignifed old part of
the city and not toward the pretentious
new part. of which Capitol hill feels an
i'll disguised jealousy.-Scribners.

CHICAGO, Dec. "a. Armour Institute,
the grand gift OF the wealthy pork
packer, whose name 1t bears, has been
threatened with destruction by dyna-

crank has threatened the lives of P. D.
Armour and Rev. Frank Gunsaulus,
president of the institute, and pastor OF
Plymouth church. Neither Armour nor
4uneaulGs will cay G word concerning
danger to their own lives. but Gunsaulus
has declared that man once connected
with the institute had threatened
it's destruction with dynamite.
When the threat was made, Gunsau-
las succeeded in disssuding the would-be
destroyer, who promised not to execute
his threat. 1t is said that, counting on
the warm friendship between Gunsaulus
and Armour the crank demanded that
Gunsaulus furnish him with money OBJ
tanned from Armour, and when Gunsau-
lus declined, threats were made to blow
up the institute and also Armour and
Gunsaulus.

THE CRUISER MOHICAN ORDERED

ant Dispatches to Minis-
ter Willis.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 24.-It was
learned today that the United States
man-of war Mohican is to be dispatched
to Honolulu on Wednesday. Sailing
orders have already been received, and
there is unusual activity at Mare Island
preparing the cruiser for sea. 1t has
been ordered that the vessel take deck
load of coal in addition to the ueual sup
ply, and it is evident that an effort will
be made to force the Mohican's old
engines to make time. The coal
beavers at Mare Island are to
have no Christmas holiday, so
positive is the order to equip the Mo-
hican for sea without lose of time. 1nas-
much as the steamship Australia sailed
to Honolulu yesterday and could have
carried all the necessary advices to Min
lister Willis, the inference is there must
he scme reason for strengthening the
United States naval force at Honolulu.

1t is done becauee it will put

How They Affect the Light That Ou

How They Affect the Light That Our
Planet Gives to the Moon.
The wonderful difference between ty5
same landscape in winter and in SUMMER
is phenomenon familiar to all dwellers
in the temperate zones. The two great
elements of change are the presence OF
snow in winter and of leaves and grass
in summer If we could look at our
globe from tho moon, the variation in
its aspect due to seasonal changes would
perhaps be even more striking than it
appears to those upon its surface.
In fact, we sometimes lose sight of the
very important part which vegetation
plays in giving color to what might be
called the countenance of the planet.
1t is not the highest forms of plants
that always produce the greatest effect
in this way. Some of the most striking
scenes upon the earth owe their charac-
teristic features to mosses and ichens.
The famous "crimson cliffs" of Greenl'
land, which extend for miles northward
from Cape York, derive their splendid
cllor from the growth of red ichen
which covers their faces.
The cliffs rise between LOO and 1900
feet straight from the waters edge, and
being composed of gray granite their
aspect would be entirely different from
what it is but for the presence of the
lichen.
Coming to less magnificent, but not
less beautiful scenes, the rocky pass
called the Golden Gate in the Yellow
stone National park owes its rich coloY
and its name to the yellow hchen cover
ing its lofty walls, and the indescribable
hues of the great hot spring terraces
nrise mainly from the presence of minute
plants fiourishing in the water that over
flows them. d
Considered as whole, the vegetation
of planet may give it characteristic
aspect as viewed from space. Many have
thought that the red color of Mars may
be due to the existence of red instead of
green vegetation there.
That its broad expanses of forest and
prairie land cause the earth to reflect al
considerable quantity of green light to
its neighbors is indicated by the fact
that at the time of the new moon
greenish tint has been detected over
spreading that part of the lunar surface
which is then Illuminated only by light
from the earth. .-Tnuths Companion.

A short time ago Mr.. Louis Bouton
brought himself to the knowledge of
scientific natrralists by undertaking an
exploring tour OF the Rcd sea, from
which he brought back strange and
curious collection of fish and shells, en-
bracing several specimens entirely un-
known. Continuing his researches on
tho coast of France, Mr.. Bouton as
suned a divers costume in order to OBJ
serve at the bottom of the sea the meta
morphoses of certain molluslss impossi-
bic to cultivate in aQuaria. He was
struck with the wonderful beauty of
submarine landscapes and resolved to
photograph what he could, since SIM
pie description would SAVIOR too much of
an overvivid imagination.
At first he worked in shallow water
with watertight apparatus, and the
clearness of the water allowed him suf-
ficient light to selsitize the plates. But
proportionally as the water deepened
clearness diminished, and the motion of
the waves clouded his proofs. Then the
young scientist conceived the idea Of
utilizing magnesium in an apparatus of
his own invention This apparatus con-
sists essentially in a barrel filled with
oxygen and surmounted by glass bell
containing an alcohol lamp.
On the fame Of the lamp, by means Of
a mechanical contrivance, powdered
magnesium is thrown, faring as often az
a view is taken. The barrel is pierced
with holes on the lower side in such a
manner that as the oxygen diminishes
the sea water enters, so preserving the
equilibrium between external and in"
ternal pressure. BY the aid of this ma
chine he has already made great progress
in a direction new to naturalists and
one likely to confer permanent benefits
in the results obtained by their science.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Henry B. Shields
OF Coleman. Shields & Co., Niles, o.,
was arrested last night charged with
kidnapping E. M. Byers of Pittsburg. a
member of wealthy iron house of this
city. The warrant was sworn out by
Mrs. Bvers. Shields arrived in Chicago
yesterday and registered at hotel
under an assumed name. After mis- ar
reet he wes admitted 10 bail in the sum
OF $4,000. Attorney George 5. Baker,
representing Mrs. Byers, Gays last May
Shields brought Byers from Pittsburg to
Chicago and placed him in charge Of
DR.. Talmsn at the Great Northern
hotel that by various artitices, Byers,
who was temporarily weak minded, was
inhamed against his wife, who for three
months vainly tried to ascertain his
whereabouts. Letters written her by
her husban were never sent. After a
long eearch Byers was found in st.
Paul, in charge of a female nurse. and
returned with his wife to Chicago, only
to be again taken away by DR.. Tallman
during tho illness Of Mrs. Byers, This
time Talman and the nurse took Byers
to Montl cal and registered under false
names. Since then Byers has been
taken to different parts Of the country,
and though he has drawn but little
money from the firm, about $4,000 has
been supplied from some source and spent
on his account. Baker saye Byers wants
to go to his vile, but is held in duress.
DR.. Tallman ridiculed the story OF the
abduction and OF Byers' insanity. He
saye, owing to his wiie's peculiarities
Byers was unable to live with her, and
became sufferer from nervous prostra-
tion. On returning from st. Paul he
tried to live with her IA days, but could
etand it no longer, and told Tallman he
was going away where ne would have u
chance to get we'll. Since then Tallman
has not seen him but once. His irlends
know where he is, for he has written
them occasionally. Shields left today
for Pittsburg, but will return Wednes-
day, when the case is to be called.
