sirnnI-serrIce Cycling Corps.

But it is not only for purposes of
pleasure that the wheel is used here
in Chicago. A year or more ago an
enthusiastic member of the First regi-
ment, Illinois National Guard, con-
ceived the idea of organizing a signal
service corps, mounted on bicycles. In
France and Germany the wheel was
given place in army equipment six or
seven years ago. Some time later the
state of Connecticut organized a blew

The Wheel in the Mail Service.

Letter carriers mounted on wheels
are a familiar sight In most of our
large cities; especially in the suburban
districts where houses are few and far
between. Uncle Sam does not pay
the carriers enough salary to justify
them in keeping a horse. Hence
when the bicycle made its advent this
class Of Woodworking public servants
was the first to recognize the CONNER
cial value of the machine. In many
places the letter carriers were the
originators of cycling, and for this bit
of missionary work they deserve the
thanks of the public. At the last
session of congress bill was intro
duced having for its object the extern
sion of the free delivery system to
country districts. Unfortunately the
measure did not become a law. Had
it passed, Il would have solved the
road problem, besides giving the
farmers Of every state direct daily
communication with their county
towns. A carrier, mounted on q
bicycle, could serve the people of a
district comprising thirty miles of
good road every day in the year.

Used for business Purposes.

At the worlds fair there was exhib-
tied a wheel for fremen. 1t was sup
piled with hand extinguisher, gren-
AIDES and other paraphernalia for the ex-
tinction of small fires. No one will deny
that such service would prove of meal
culable benefit, and it is surprising
that Chicago has not yet organized a
bicycle fire brigade. Some of the com.
panies employing messenger boys rec
ognized the business qualities of the
wheel years ago, and since the intro
duction of the mounted service have
given excellent satisfaction to their
customers. Electric light repairers and
linemen have taken to the wheel with
enthusiasm, as it enables them to cover
considerasl e territory in a cOmpara-
lively short time. Statesmen for whole

FRENCH MONUMENTS.
HuRO's Greatness still Goes UnrecognIzed
by Bronze or Marble.

Hugo's Greatness still Goes UnrecognIzed
by Bronze or Marble.
A monument to Gounod is decided
upon. A subscription of twenty thou
sand dollars was raised easily, rapidly
and triumphantly. The sculptor is
selected, and soon Paris will be en-
dowed with the statue of the com
poser who will only be known to fu-
ture generations as the author of one
great creation, namely: Faust" and
the perpetrator thereafter of various
charming works, ''Mireille'' and
Romeo and Juliet" for example, and
also of large quantities of more OF less
dismal failures. No one will claim
that Gounod was the greatest com
poser of his day; yet he is to be glori-
fed while the ashes of Victor Hugo lie
unburied in their dusty coffin, tossed
carelessly into the vaults of the Panth-
con and covered with the moldering
remains of the magnificent floral trib-
utes that were sent to do honor to his
funeral, says the Paris correspondent
of the Philadelphia Telegraph.
A statue of Victor Hugo was decided
upon also. but the subscriptions Ian
guished and dwiadled until they
stopped at an amount of twenty-five
hundred dollars. So the literary giant
of our generation is only commemo-
rated by his own great works, and his
neglected coffin is left unremarked,
save by the. Mortified or Indifferent
eyes of the countless tourists who drift
to the Pantheon to see the new fres-
Goes, painted by the great artists of
France by order of the republic, and
who incidentally explore the vaults of
the huge temple.
Until not very long ago one huge va
cant space was visible at the Pantheon,
among the completed panels that sur
rounded it. As was courteous to so
great an artist, the government had
offered section of the Pantheon to
Meissonier to decorate. Meissonier
instantly accepted, although perfectly
conscious he could not paint one OF
those huge frescoes any more than a
fly could fire cannon; but being an
artistic dog in the manger, he could
neither do it himself nor would he al
low anyone else to take the work. OF

eREwsoME SIGHTS lN a MINE.
The Trip Down a Deep Shaft Full OF
Thrill to the Tenderfoot.

Thrill to the Tenderfoot.
Going down into the mine is indeed
a thrilling experience and one rather
overwhelming to the ''tenderfoot, -
says a writer in Casters Magazine.
Enveloped in suits of waterproof, with
hats of oilslzin and provided with cam
dies, a party ready for the descent pre-
sents grewsome spectacle, reminding
one forcibly of certain conceptions of
Dore. The cage, which serves for both
passengers and freight, rises to a level
with the floor of the shafthouse, and
is simply a platform of wood with up
rights and framing of iron. This fits
closely in the shaft, being lowered and
raised by means of machinery puzzling
enough to the interested stranger,
with its drum, sheaves, cable and vari-
Gus safety appliances. To take posi-
ton on that little square of wood, feel
ing that on this machinery, (which
does sometimes break, you know -
hangs all ones hope, requires some
courage. Much comfort is derived
from the assurance of the foreman that
this same cage has safely carried down
and up all the delivers below with never
an accident yet. With the warning,
E'elbows in,'' the cage drops. With a
gasp one reaches wildly about to find
nothing to hold to in that damp dark
ness, growing so dense as that square
''hole of dayligh diminishes so rapid
ly, and down we glide through trick
ling waters without jar and in utter
silence till, with thud, the cage stops,
two thousand five hundred feet under
ground.
The dim candle light casts weird
shadows as we follow the superin-
tendent along a narrow gallery cut in
the igneous rock to connect the vein
with the shaft. At the intersection
another long gallery extends to the
right and left, but its parallel walls
are smooth, often highly polished, at
times four feet apart; again more, but
always with an inclination to the
vertical. These are the faces of the
fssured rock between which, over
head and below, is the vein matter.
Through the gloomy darkness we pick
our way cautiously along the narrow
plank, resting on ties laid over the
gutterway. Below us the water rushes
down to the shaft, emptying into the
''sump," continuation of the. shaft
below the lowest level, serving as
we'll out of which the water is lifted
by the great pumps, whose continual
beat, up and down, up and down, with
monotonous regularity, breaks the 81
lence like the throb of some great hid
den heart. Climbing ladder, or,
rather, five ladders-for there is plat
form at every twenty feet-in Egyptian
darkness, i1lumined only by the light
of candle, with ice cold water dripping
from each round and triclzling along
ones arm and small torrent from
the tarpaulin hat down ones back, is
apt to dampen, if not to eradicate for
ever, any lingering fancy for miners
life.

The following is said to be the Rus

it appears to be an effectual one those
who are annoyed with these animals
are recommended to try it. Catch in a

(feed them in an extra trap or wire
cage until you have the required num-
ber); then cease to feed them. They
will soon become ferocious and fight

only six or eight remain, turn them
