bicycle for Distinguishes.

"And are not all of Edison'S inven-
lions based on the idea of the sound
waves?' inquired Mr.. Krankwit, plac-
ing a sly forefinger on his nose as he
spoke. Now, III show you something
on rather a different line. This is n
tire filled with the same material that
is placed in those patent fire extin-
guishers that you see in large manu-
factories. A brave man mounted on q
bicycle arranged for eXtinguishing
flames could ride through n burning
forest and eXtinguish the fire as he
went. All, if 1 had only had that ma
chine perfected at the time of those big
fires in Michigan! Here is a bicycle
fitted with extra large tires, and de-
signed for use in the Canada border.
In olden times the smuggler used to use
muffled oars when he rowed, and was
sometimes the proprietor OF long,
low, rakish looking craft, as you
doubtless remember. The smuggler of
the future will wear knickerbockers
and long wooden stockings, and will
ride on his long, low, rakish looking
bicycle across the line which divides
Canada from this country"
but in the event of free trade"
"The European market will always
be open, and is, after all. a much better
one than our own so far as this parti-
cular invention is concerned" rejoined
Mr.. Krankwit.
but now / would like to show you
two or three other applications of my
great principle. For instance, here is
an ingenious device by which cleo
tricity is generated inside the tire,
simply by the motion of the
wheel, and the force thus obtained
finally becomes strong enough to pro-
pei the machine and it's rider up hill
and down, thus almost realizing the un-
discovered and much talked of per-
petual motion. A theatrical company
mounted on wheels thus arranged
could escape the rapacity of hotel land
lords, and successfully defy the rail
road companies. Then here is another
invention which ] expect will become
very popular in the amusement bust
ness. 1t is nothing more nor less than
a set of tires arranged in the form of
q music box, and as the rider propels
himself along the wheels play num-
Der of popular airs. Half a dozen act
! Ors and actresses mounted on these
wheels could ride through the principal
streets of a town, and give, as they
travel, concert fully as good as that
usually furnished by circus or min
strel band. And as the people would
| be unable to see where the music came
from they would be sure to make a
tremendous sensation"
What are those very large wheels
! intended for?' asked the caller, who
by this time had become very much in

Deafness Can Not BE Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inhamed you have n
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces

Edmund HOdeeson Yates Passes Away

LONDON, May 20.-Edmund Hodgeson
Yates, editor and proprietor of the
World, died today.
Mr.. Yates was the son OF the we'll.
known actor, and was for some time
chief of the missing letter depart tment in
the postoffice. He was a theatrical critic
on the Daily News for six years, and was
himself author of several dramas. In
May, 1872, Mr.. Yates retired from the
postoffice in order to devote his time
exclusively to literature. In the course
OF that wear he went on a lecturing tour
in the United States. and in May, 1873,
he was appointed London representative
OF the New York Herald, which post he
resigned in July, 1874, when he estab-
lished the World.
Nh. Yates was in 1894 indicted for
having published in his paper libel on
the earl OF Lonsdale, for which, as editor,
he was responsible. He was sentenced
to four months' imprisonm ment, but was
released before two months expired. He
was the author of many novels.
Mr.. Yates death was quite sudden.
He attended the Garrick thester last
evening, that being his first appearance
at public amusement since his pro-
longed illness. While in the theater he
had fit and was removed to HIS resi-
dence. The physicians who were called
to attend him held out little hope of re-
covery, and at O'Clock this morning

ELLwooD, Ind, May 20.-During the

his attention wss attracted to the clouds,
in which he saw, during a lightning
flash, the pigs and goose. Suddenly they
dropped to the ground in his yard and
the next morning they were as lively as
usual, having suffered only slightly dur

through the air.
