concerted action of both hands and
feet, the repulsion of the one and the
traction of the other: These two
forces are concentrated to give the BIZ
cycle the highest momentum Of speed.
The inventor appeared before the Min
lister of Liberal Arts and by his many
practical tests of the various advant-
ages claimed for his machine was given
a document in which M. VALERIE is de-
clared to have invented one OF the
best of bicycles. Great is his inven-
ton, indeed, il it can be practically
demonstrated that man in riding this
contrivance can use his arms as effect
ually for a driving power as he can
his legs. Aside from this advantage
there will be an opportunity for the de-
velopment of as formidable biceps as
there is now of calves.
When it comes to speed this new
machine is marvel; there has been
nothing in the way OF bi, tri, or any
kind of cycles that have approached It
for swiitness. 1t is claimed that with

rhe Mise Mon of Gotham.

AS King John was passing through
the village Of Gotham, on his way to
Nottingham, he proposed to make a
short cut across the meadows. The
villagers, thinking that whatever
road king took thenceforward be.
came a public road, objected, much
to Johns annoyance.
Shortly afterward he sent some
messengers from his court to learn
the cause of the villagers rudeness.
Hearing Of the coming Of the kings
servants, the villagers hlv upon the
following plan Of turning aside the
monarch's wrath:
When the messengers arrived, they
found some Of the inhabitants en-
gagged In trying to drown an eel in a
pond; others we're busy rolling cheeses
down a hill, so that they might run
to Nottingham for sale, while a third
set were employed In placing hedge
round a bush on which a cuckoo had
perched, in order that they might
enjoy perpetual spring.
The kings servants thought they
had come among a village Of fools,
and, having reported what they had
seen, John formed the same opinion,
and troubled himself no more about
what he considered their incivillty to
him. Hence people have talked about
the wise men," or "the FOOLS" of
Gotham.
There was much wisdom in their
folly, however There is to-day, so
it is said, bush growing on the site
OF the one wherein the cookoo
perched.

position. 1t is with the aim to over
come this grave drawback that VALERIE
has constructed his bicycle, which he
has given the name OF running ma
chine, on account OF the motions made
by the rider. The hand bars of this ma
chine are entirely dispensed with, and
in their stead are two levers, which are
worked almost horizontally. When in
motion the rider looks like q person
running and swinging his arms. That
is to say, when the left leg for in
stance, is advanced in pressing down
the pedal the right arm performs the
corresponding movement in putting
one of the levers backward. There is
