Machine Which the Inventor
Thinks VIII Run by It's own Mo-
mcntum.
A novelty in the cycling line which
has been attracting considerable at
tention in New York is unicycle IN
geniously contrived to run along by
its momentum after it has been fairly
set going by tn usual pedaling meth
cd. says the Sun. A forward inclina-
ton Of the riders body keeps the
wheel revolving, and it is said it can
be easily stopped by leaning backward.
The same simple law Of -gravitation
causes il to spin unerringly round any
curve toward which the rider leans on
either side The machine has no stear-
ing gear and is said to require none
beyond the tendency given 10 its direc-
ton by the poise OF the riders body.
The motion is generated rs in a safety
bicycle until the small inner wheels
set the outer or travelling wheel spin
ming. 1t does the rest and covers so
much ground at each revolution as
would enable an average rider TO COM
pass a mile well under two minutes.
The inventor thinks a record of half
that time within the possibilities with
an expert in the saddle and is at pres
emit engaged on improvements which
he claims will obtain universal recogni-
ton for the contrivance.
The inventors brain has been revolv-
ing in cycles since he conceived the
idea of n bicycle thirty years ago
Some four years ago il occurred to him
to electrify the whe@ world by intro
ducing n unicycle, and the present ma
chine is the result He completed it

ures six feet in diameter and weighs
49, pounds. 1t costs al told about
5000. The more modern types which the
inventor is preparing TO produce will
be built on n much lighter scale. In
fact, he thinks he can get the weight
down to fifty pounds and reduce the
cost OF the output 90 $500. The uni

Make the hole small enough that so
that the egg will not go through, and
in dark room when you hold the egg
before the lamp you can tell at a
glance whether it is fertile or not. The
unfertile eggs are perfectly good for
use, as they do not change at all in a
week, but if you do not wish to use
them for any other purpose, they make
excellent food for the young chicks
for the first week after they hatch. In
most cases enough unfertile eggs will
come out from five or six litters so that
one hen can be sent back to the flock
to begin laying.

The Russian ThIstIe.

The Russian thistle has become
abundant over large extent of coun-
try in the Dakotas, and has also been
found in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas. 1t has not vet
been reported as found in Illinois, but
it is easily possible that it may now be
growing in the state. The most prob
able location would be along the lines
of railroads in northern Illinois, al
though tho seeds may have been in
grain or grass seed shipped from the
infested region. The plant is said to
have been brought to this country in
fax seed sown in southeastern Dakota
in 1873. Perhaps the expenditure Of
one dollars worth of work in 1874
would have eradicated the now serl-
Gus pest IL is now doubtful if il will
ever be eradicated 1t is very desir-
able that farmers generally should be
on the outlook and see that any plants
suspected of being this so called thistle
are at once destroyed. When mature
in September or October the plant
looks somewhat like the common tura-
BILE weed Of the west. 1t is often two
or three feet high and twice as much
in diameter The color of the mature
plant is crimson. The number of seeds
produced by one plant often reaches
many thousands. When the plant is
young it is readily eaten by farm ami.
mails. While there is reason to hope
that this weed would not thrive so
well in Illinois as 1t has IN the north
west, the prevention of its getting
foothold in the state is a matter of
very great Importance. The u. S. de-
partment of agriculture has recently
published a bulletin quite fully dis
cussing the history and modes Of 6e-
stroying TIE weed.

them in and then have a regular time
to take them off and feed them, but
while the theory is good it will not
work in practice, and l lost hundreds
of eggs in finding it out. 1 have had
excellent success this season by re-
moving the hens to rooms prepared
for them, and setting a number at

Candies, Emmeluth and Bolte.
After the reading of the minutes
of the last meeting Minister Hatch
presented the answers To the ques-
tions asked by Mr.. Emmeluth
some time ago in relation to labor
matters. The questions were as
follows:
1. Under what restrictions, II any,
can private parties import contract
laborers into the Hawaiian Republic?
Il AZ the purpose of the Govern
nant TO encourage such tmportatlons?
Isit lawful for immigrants To be
allowed 10 land as contract laoorers
who were not shipped AS such Al port

Mr.. Hatch answered as follows;

Minister Damon presented the
weekly finance statement, which
was received and placed on file. =,
Mr.. WateIhouse next rendered
his resignation as a member OF the
Councils. He looked back with
Measure on his work during the
mast months, and thought that the
feelings of all had been harmoni-
Gus, in spite of the small till which
all had passed through:
Minister Smith said that Mr..
waterhouse had been q member OF
the Councils since the hrst, ana
was also a member OF the original
committee of safety. He under
stood that he resigned so that ne
MIGHT further serve the country by
continuing in its Legislature.
Chairman Wilder thought there
was no necessity for hasty action In
the matter. 1t would be plenty OF
time for candidates for election to
resign a week from today.
Mr.. McCandless said ne was I'D
the same boat as Mr.. Waterhouse'

the outside onlooker, could not but have

when party Of three who had just en-
tered ordered trio Of eggs apiece. The
proprietor thereat seized nine of the
ovids from box beneath the counter and
began to break them one after another
upon the griddle. He had reached the
eighth egg when, 10 and behold instead

action was unnoticed he swept the grid
