A Frenchman Applies the Pedal Mo
ton to Propulsion.

A Erenchman Applies the Pedal Mo-
ton to Propulsion.
Dnring the past summer a novelty in
the boat line was introduced on one OF
the lakes of the Bois de Boulogne in
Paris. 1t was pleasure boat propelled
with pedals and called a bicycle boat on
account OF the similarity OF its system of
lOcomotion with that vehicle. The idea
Of replacing oars with paddle wheels is
by no means new one, but 1t is the
first time that it has been practically APP
piled To a small boat. The inventor
Of the new boat is a Frenchman named
Wallet
The boats are made in two sizes, for
single persons and for two passengers
and an operator. The one intended for
single occupant is quite like bicycle,
having besides the mechanism also the
saddle-seat. In tie larger boat the sad
die Is dispensed with ana replaced with q
coach seat. The same motor system APP
plies 10 both. 1t is composed Of a horl-
ZOntal shaft which passes through the
stern of the boat, and at its ENG carries
the paddle wheel. Two conical pinions
are wedged to the shaft at a certain dis
tance from each other, and these fit into
the cogs OF a third piniOn mounted on d
vertical axis. The motion of the pedals
is transmitted to these by means of an
wheel. y tlywheel mounted on the axis
promotes and regulates the motion. The
shaft of the paddlewheel is mobile
throughout the length of the boat, SO that
by means of the lever system the opera
tor can, at his pleasure, engage either
pinion with the third, thus controlling
the forward and backward motion OF the
boat, or stop it entirely. The side mo-
tions of the boat are controlled by means
of a broad pendant similar to that Of We
locipedes, which govern the rudder. The
motion OF the boat is very swift, as each
turn of the pedal advances is nearly nine
feet, so that the turn per second would
speed the craft along at the rate of $40
feet per minute, making TWO and one
third miles in half an hour.
a speed Of this kind could not be kept
up for any length Of time by the opera
tor, although the mechanism of the boat
is capable CT achieving it. However, the
average speed which can be depended
upon is four miles per hour, when the
water is calm and there is 10 wind. The
movement is surprisingly quiet and uni
form and the operation is not at all fa
tiguing.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

REV. MKENzIE's LECTURE.
An Entertaining Evening in Oriental
Chimes.

An Entertaining Evening in Oriental
Chimes.
A crowded house assembled at the
Congregational Church last night to listen
to the lecture given under the auspices of
the Sacramento Lecture Association by
the Rev. Robert Mckenzie of San Fran
cisco on the ''SIde Lights of Travel
Mr.. Mckenzie is an eloquent, witty and
humorous speaker, and held the attention
of his audience so fully that they were
sorry when his last sentence was spoken.
He took his hearers with him to the
Orient starting with the stone at the
holy sepulcher, which the guide stoops
and kisses, telling the pilgrim that it
marks the center of the earth, through
the Holy Land. He said that it was the
counterpart of California in its seasons
and climate, there being but two, the wet
and the dry. The flowers on the hillsides
resemble those here, the Rose Of Sharon
strongly resembling our California
poppy.
Passing to Egypt, he gave a magnificent
word picture of Cairo, the Nile and the
deserts TO the east and west, with a hu-
morous description OF the donkeys and
donkey boys of Cairo that elected hearty
laughter from his auditors. 1t was rare
treat to those who were fortunate enough

At the Clunie Opera-house tonight the
sensational comedy drama, 1.-The

tions. with strong comedy color
throughout. Mr.. Armstrong; acting
anu singing il the first act is the liveliest
and best we have had in comedy here for

The second of the series of piano re-
citals by Hugo Mansfeldt of San Fran
cisco was given last evening at Pommer Il
Neale's piano warerooms to large and
appreciative audience, composed almost
entirely of the best local musicians. The
aim of these recitals is to allow the piano
students of Sacramento AMI vicinity 10
hear classical music rendered in an artis-
tic manner, and with reference TO the
chronological order of the different au-
thors. The programme of last evening
COMPRISED some of the choicest compost
tions of Schumann, " Neber and Mendels-
sohn. in two numb bers OF which Mr.
Mansfeldt was most ably assisted by
Miss Carolee Wilsey and Miss Lille
Evans, who kindly and at brief notice
supplied the place of Mrs. c. a. Neale.
As usual Mr.. Mans1eldtS execution was
marvel of delicacy, brilliancy and pre-
cision. The mastery rendition of Weber 5
"PerpeJuai MotIOn," IN particular, elicit
ed the most enthusiastic applause, al
though some Of the Schumann numbers
gave greater musical satisfaction. The
programme was as follows: "Auf-

a GOOD TIME COMING.
If the story that comes from London ID
true It will not be long before anybody
who is not too poor can 60 for . ride in his
own carriage without the trouble of -hsr-
Messing and driving horse or the danger
of being run away with by him. For
some time an electric wagon used to deliver
parcels has been going about the streets of
London. It is said to look like an ordi-
nary two-horse van without shafts, 1t
is worked by accumulators which will
drive It for Fifty miles without q reehsrge,
and 1t can attain the speed of ten miles an
hour. The steering il easy. and the cost is
said to be half that of q horse van of the
same sizs and power.
The prospect opened by this performance
is an interesting one. The horse has been
. very useful animal, but he is troublesome
in many ways. he is never worth what
the man who sells him Gays he is. He is
apt to get sick, 60 lame, get frightened, or
get balky. And he takes up a great deal
of room ia crowded strsets. The electric
vehicle will bs convenient, reliable, essy to
get started, essy to keep going, easy to
stop, easy to manage and economical of
room. l. will be good for business
use and good for pleasure-riding, The
time is probably coming when q man can
get into his electric carriage and ride all
over the country If he wsnts to, needing
only new supply Of force occasionally.
And he can take short rides with the
greatest of ease.
With all the stree. cars running by elsc:
tricity and the other vehicles in the streets
running by the same agent the streets of
our cities will be much less crowded, much
cleaner and much ga er. And with rubber
tires on the wheels of the vehicles the
streets will be much quieter.
