Americans. Mr.. Bayard did well to point
out that the modern conditions Of mari
time warfare originated with American
seameu. The engagement of the
Monitor and the Merrimac wss
the beginning OF the revolution in
naval construction. We have no reason
to believe that the courage and in
genuity of American seamen displayed
in the past is likely to be lack-
ing In their successors. Englishmen
cannot grudge their oversee kin this
spleEdid attribute Of nationhood. A fair
proportion Of those who attended the din
ner, however, were actuated by q wish
not only TO show hospitality to the
Cbicago's officers, but also to see and hear
perhaps the most distinguished living
authority on naval policy and tactics,
Captain Mehap, who, II he has not cleared
all the doubt and confusions arising from
the new naval conditions, at least has
gone ncarer to place naval strategy on an
intelligibis basis than any writer Of recent
years."

PRAISE For Americas Navy.
IN times past, from no quarter had
greater assistance been found than In the
naval service Of either country. and for
the PRESENT he would speak Of that
country which it was his privilege and
honor to represent
II he had read the record Of history
Alright, no map had written clearer and
more valuable Lessons for the relations Of
mankind In the use and knowledge Of
the sea than the officers of the American
navy. 1t was an excellent thing to have
. sea power, but IL was tyrapnous to use
that power. Therefore, let the laws Of
equal force and the laws OF morals pro-
ceed. and whoever should best exercise sea
power In this world let him or them re-
member that power TO be safe must ever
be In the harness of the law.
The Other Speakers
Admiral Hornby then toasted the
United States navy. He said that the
presence of the American admiraps Nag
as high up as Gravesend was unprece-
dented, but they all hoped that It would
appear there again.
Admiral Erbcn, responding 20 Admiral
Hornby's toast, said that never before was
such compliment paid TO the American
navy. He thanked those present, not
only In behalf % the officers and men OF
the Chicago. but Of every man In the
American navy.
Lord Roberta then proposed toast to
Captain Mahan and the officers of the
Chicago. He said they welcomed the
American officers as brothers a. well a.
distinguished guests. and alluded TO their
community Of origin. sentiment and Ian
guage.
Captain Mahan responded briefly. In
conclusion, he toasted the British navy
and coupled with it the sentiment that
Its future career might be as benefcent
rs its past had been glorious.
Admiral Commerell briefly responded
to Captain Mahan's toast. and the pro-
ceedings closed with the band playing the
"Star Spangled Banner"
A fantasia OF American airs was played
between the speeches.
When Mr.. Bayard rose to speak the
organ and band played Hail. Columbia"
Mr.. Bayard was upable to speak for some
minutes. owing to the tumultuous ap-
plausc with which he was. greeted.
Every word of the speech, which was i'm
pressiveiy uttered, was listened to with
close attention.

IN THE LAND OF GOLD.


Not before, since the excitement follow

been such rush OF people to California :

The Creation of Adam.

When God had determined to create
Adam he sent in succession the four
angels, Gabriel, Michael, Asraphil and
Asrail for handful of earth for the
purpose. Each of the first three came
back in turn emptyhanded, having
been persuaded by the earth that the
creation would result only in confusion
and misery, but Asrail was faithful to-
his commission. He gathered hand
full of earth from the place where the
temple at Mecca now stands and car
ried it to Cod and of this earth AdamI
was fashioned. For thirty-nine daysI
the ncw-made man was kept at Mecca,
awaiting his soul. On the fortieth dayl
this was given him, and ne was them
put into the Garden of Eden. IIisI
name, Adam, signifies ''of the turf. 81
but he was surnamed Saphi-Jula. To-
the angel Asrail, for his faithfulness,
was given the Office of receiving men'sI
souls at their death and carrying them
to GOd.-NOtes and Queries.

THE BICYCLE IDEA.

In Chicago 1t Has Developed Into Cycle.

uIcIpaI Anairs-Its Mission as
Dress Reformer.
Especial Chicago letter.

Especial Chicago letter.
Cyclomania Is the name of the dis
ease from which Chicago is suffering
just at present. Hundreds who, even
a year ago, turned up their hypercrit-
zeal noses at the mere mention of BIZ
cycling are joining the great spring
army of recruits. March which, in this
latitude, came in like lamb scattered
the germs of cyclomania along the
avenues and boulevards; in the houses
of the well-to-dO and the poor. For
tunately, the disease is not a danger
Gus one. After few falls the victim
and does his best to spread it, or he is
completely cured. Chicago is an ideal
city for cyclists. 1t has scores of miles
of highly improved boulevards - as
level almost as the floor of a dance
hall. There is not even the suggestion
of hill anywhere within the limits of
the city. Thus wheeling which, in
some places, means hard work is re-
duced to a recreation pure and simple
"a statement which is most conclusive
ly proved by the fact that, with the
exception of Paris, no other city in the
world has so many lady riders as Chi
cagO. American women are not partial
to violent physical exercise, and the
popularity of the wheel here, in Buffa-
10, n. Y, Washington and other points
must be ascribed, to the excellence of
the streets more than to love of whole
some sport But, whatever may be
the cause, there is no man with grain
of sense who is not delighted to know
that wheeling has developed into a
favorite pastime with women of intel
ligence and good common sense.

Gallant Ceppers on Steel steeds.

What Is good for soldiers ought to
be good for policemen. So thought
the commanding officer of one of Chi
cago's suburban police stations; and,
acting on the spur of inspiration, he
caused some of his fly coppers to be
mounted on bicycles. Owing to the
somewhat excessive avoirdupois of
the average guardian of the peace,
and consequent deliberation of move
ment, the experiment was not howl
ing success-eXcept for the small boys
who watched the rise and fall of the
gallant boys in blue with more inter
est than was sometimes good for them.
Other cities, notably Liverpool, have
introduced cycle patrol service which
affords protection. to outlying districts
The Pinkertons, too, have derived
great profit from the use of the wheel,
and keep a number of machines at each
of their offices.

No Longer a Mere PIaything.

The bicycle, to sum the thing up, Is
no longer plaything or luxury. Ii
has become a necessity. Where the
roads are good it assures rapid trans
portation at a minimum outlay of
physical eXertion. 1t is easier to pro-
pei a wheel than to govern a spirited
horse-to say nothing of the healthful-
ness of the exercise. Is it any won
der, therefore, that young and old,
men and women, take kindly to the
sport? know one lively gentleman
of sixty, who, whenever the weather.
permits, rides from his suburban home
to his office in the morning and rides
back In the evening-nearly twenty
miles day. Of course he is an ex-
ception; but his remarkable vim and
energy show what a person imbued
with the bicycle fever can and will do,
The exercise has not only benefited his
health, but is giving him real enjoy
ment which robs routine duty of some
of its wearisome features.

The Wheel as a Dress Reformer.

Most women riders of the wheel are|
dress reformers. They have learned
from practical experience that the
clothing affected by society women isl
making the sex one Of chronic In.
valids. The free and easy motion oil
pedaling demands q eomm2n-sense CO.'S
TUNE. Once get Woman in the habit
of we rring really comfortable gown
and she will not return to the disease
breeding garments of conventional
life. All of the leading dress reform
ers of Boston are wheelwopen. They
have evolved a number of costumes.
based on their bicycle suits. The
Syrian frock and the divided skirt are
with US to stay, and when the history
Of dress reform is written It viii be
found that the bicycle has had much
to do with the emancipation Of woman
from the thralldom Of fashion. And
this spirit of advance thought is not
confined to this country; for at a re-
cent soiree of the Lady Cyclists asso-
citation at London several prominent
ladies appeared in striking and con.
venient suits of their own design. One
worn by Mrs. Albert Bonsor attracted
particular attention. 1t does away
with the skirt altogether, and substi-
tutes prettily made trousers of gener-
Gus proportions.
