II LAY CURLED AROUND THE ClRCUMFER-
ENCE OF THE WHEEL.
of stream When near the bottom of
the hill, his speed must have been nearly
25 mile gait. While going at this speed
he discovered what he took to be limb
lying across the road. As he came closer
and when too late to turn out he discover
ed that the supposed limb was snake
about 10 feet long, and just beyond was a
second reptile of nearly equal length.
His wheel struck the nearer snake and
went over easily, but the reptile in some
way raised its head and struck savagely
at the shimmering spokes. The snakes
head passed between the spokes near the
hub, and the snake fastened its fangs on
the spokes at the opposite side of the
wheel.
The effect of this was to slacken the
speed of the bicycle, and the rider was al
most thrown from his wheel by the sud
den stop, but maintained his seat and
kept his machine going straight ahead. 1t
was remarkable that the knifelike revolu-
tions of the spokes did not cut the snake
in two, but the long body Of the snake
was drawn within the wheel, and the CEN
trifugal force threw it close to the felly,
where it lay Curled around the circumfer-
ence Of the wheel and quite safe.
The rider dared not stop for fear of be-
ing bitten and was afraid Of increasing
his speed lest the snake should slip from
the wheel, and becoming entangled throw
him to the ground. He noticed, however,
that his speed was becoming gradually
less, but attributed this to the fact that
he was now going up hill and to the
weight of the reptile. But as he reached
the top of the hill he heard scraping and
Kissing noise behind him and turned to
ascertain the cause. He was Mortified to
see that the second and larger snake was
also caught in his bicycle and was holding
on by its tail.
The wheelman now decided to increase
his speed in order to shake his second enc
my and strained every muscle to attain q
higher speed, but the dead weight Of the
snake dragging in the dust behind PROVED
too much for his already tried muscles
| With two miles to go before he met th'
next relay he was in quandary as to how
+ he would escape, but glancing back he saw
| that the snake had twined its tail arount
the little step by which rider mounts 1
bicycle.
The step was of the pattern called tn,
! "rattrap" because of its sharp teeth oi
| the upper side. The wheelman, taking il
the situation, reached back with his lef
foot and brought the heel of his shoe dowl
forcibly upon the snakes tail, completed.

A Mechanical Mathematician.

An attempt has been made in new me-
chanical calculator to provide means OF
saving time for contractors, engineers, ma
chinists, surveyors and accountants-in
fact, for all who have occasion to solve nu-
merical problems.
This device is kind of slide rule, which
has, however, all it's figures in n single
plane. 1t consists Of wooden base about
nine inches square and quarter of an inch
thick, bound with nickel plated metal.
Within a circle eight inches in diameter
are IL series of circular scales on the face Of
two metal plates, the inner plate revolving
On IL central hub. The inner circle is pro
vided with two nickel plated knobs, by
which it is revolved, while on the under
side of the board is Il metal point by which
the revolving of the outer plate or the
table or disk is facilitated.
Pivoted at the center is Il lens which
magnfies the finer lines. The base of the
frame of the lens forms Il notched edge to
bring the required figures into line. A re
movable thumbscrew regulates the set of
the frame
The inner set of scales, called the slide, is
on white ground, and the outer set, called
rule, is on green ground. Problems are
set and their solution effected by bringing
a mark of value that is on the scale oi
one part to line with IA mark of value on
the scale of the other part, the revolution
of the slide within the rule rendering this
possible.
The inventor claims that the device
shows at II glance the squares, cubes and
the reciprocals of any numbers, obtains
proportions, directly and inversely, also
roots and powers, and when used in con
nection with tables of natural sines, tan
gents, etc, effects the solution of trigono
metrical equations. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

DR. MARY P. jacob. for woman sur
frage that was without doubt one of the
most remarkable speeches ever made by a
woman.
This great speech was delivered before
the constitutional convention of the state
of New York and attracted widespread at
tention. 1t was an erudite, logical and
digniiicd argument. There was nothing
hysterical about 1t, and one Of its princi-
pal charms was the fact that 1t was not
abu5ve-a decided fault Of many pleas for
woman suffrage.
Mary Putnam jacob was born in Lon
don Aug. 81, 1912, and is daughter of
George p. Putnam, the American publish
er. Early In life she came to the United
States, studied in the Womans Medical
college in Philadelphia and later was the
first woman graduate of the New York
College Of Pharmacy. But her ambition
was by no means satisfied. She went to
Paris in 1868, applied to the dean of the
Medical College of France for permission
to take tho examination and was refused
on the ground that such a thing was un-
precedented in the history of the institu-
tion.
To Mary Putnam, however, the fact
that q thing had never been done was no
argument why it should not be done, and
with the aid of United States Minister
| Washburne she was admitted to the col
lcgc, from which she was graduated with
high honors in 1871, receiving for her
valedictory thesis u silver medal. During
the siege of Paris she became acquainted
with the horrors of war and corresponded
for the New York Medical Journal
In 1878 she married DR.. Abraham jacob,
German political refugee, who had locat-
ed in New York and won high rank in the
medical fraternity. Three children were
the fruit of their union. DIR. A. Jacob
headed tho American delegation to the re-
cent international medical congress in
Rome. His talented wife is the author Of
several valuable medical works, has a
largo practice of her own in New York and
is one Of the foremost champions Of equal
rights for women among her sex.

1 PI,vsician's Son Who Goes Stockingles,
Summer and Winter.
The Indignation of the passengers on a
western Maryland railroad train was
somewhat unnecessarily excited near
Baltimore by the unusual spectacle of a
richly clad boy of five or six years.
whose legs and fpt were perfectly bare,
although the winter morning was a cold
one. The child was accompanied by his
mother and sister, both of whom were
richly dressed, and the sudden conclu-
tion was formed by the passengers that
the family had spent so much money in
wraps, dresses and coverings for the bod
les and shoulders of the elders that moth
ing had been left wherewith to provide
protection from the inclemency of the
weather for the boys extremities.
The appearance and conduct of the
three. which indicated culture, wealth
and. on the part of the mother, parental
solcitude for the welfare of her off
spring, and on H. part of the boy per-
feet content and comfort and apparent
obliviousness to the fact that his feet and
ankles were bare, hardly seemed to ac-
cord with the hastily formed suspicion
of the curious spectators. On inquiry it
was ascertained that the boy was the son
of prominent physician who had lost
one child after another with throat dis.

ing his children out barefooted, as chill

the moisture Of the ground, were in

The physicians experiment proved to
be perfect success. The barefooted boy
was the picture of health. At Unior
station he ran up the cold boards and ice
covered bricks laughing and singing and
totally unaware of any discomfort. By
adopting the barefoot method the Mary

sexes have gone shoeless and stocking.
