BICYCLE BOAT OF THE BOIs DE BOULOGNE.
of modifying the motion of the pedals,
a backward or forward movement or
even complete stoppage, if the shaft
be given an intermediate position. As
for the steering, that is effected
through a bar, analogous to that OF
BICYCLES, which controls the rudder.
The ratio of the gearings is 50 cal
culated as to obtain a multiplication
of five, and the pitch Of the screw is
50 centimeters. Each revolution OF
the pedal therefore causes the boat TO
move forward 80 meters SuppOs-
ing that one stroke of the pedal b
given per second, an advance OF 17z
meters will be made per minute or
lob kilometers per hour. But prac-
tically it would be impossible to keep
up one stroke of the pedal per second
very long. and it is necessary, too, to
take into account the resistance OF
the water, which increases very rap
idly with the speed Of the boat. From
our own experiments, we believe that
it is possible to attain a speed of about
eight kilometers per hour in calm wa
ter and without wind.
This question Of speed, however. is
of no great Importance, for we have q
pleasure boat rather than one for
racing, and the. speed is Of slight con-
sequence, provided that it be adequate.
We have been surprised at the easy
motion of the pedals and at the facili'
ty with which the maneuvering is done
without fatigue. 1t is very agree
able mode of locomotion, that we find
more convenient and more within
reach of everyone than that effected
BY the oar or paddle.-La Nature.

Tho difference Of weight IN the brains
OF men and women has long been .
source Of deep interest to al who dis
course Of equality and rights. Those
extra ounces remain more or less Q
stumbling block to the unwary. Meta
physical justice refuses to regard them
other than iniquitous. Yet structural

fixed position the joint forms smooth.
ovate sphereoid. The reason of this lies
in the smallness of the patella in front
and the narrowness of the aricular sur
faces of the tibia and femur, and which
In man form the lateral prominences,
and this is much more perfect as part
of sustaining column. Muscles de-
signed to keep the body fixed upon the
thighs in an erect position labor under
the disadvantage of shortness of pur-
chase, owing to the short distance
compared to that of man-betwcen the
crest of the ilium and the great troch-
anter. A man has a much longer pur-
chase in the leverage existing between
the trunk and extremities than q wom-
an. The feminine foot, comparatively
speaking, is less able to sustain weight
than that of man, owing to its shcrt-
ness and the more delicate structure ef
the tarsus and the metatarsus Wom-
en- are not well constructed to stand
many hours consecutively and every
day. 1t is safe to:affirm that they have
instinctively avoided certain fields of
skilled labor on purely anatomical
grounds, in which the smaller guam
tity of brain substance proves less an
adverse factor than the shallow pelvis,
the popularity of the knee and the
delicate nature Of the foot. These, as
parts of sustaining column, unde-
niably leave something to be desired.
Even the right to vote would not con-
fer on womankind the right to be SOL
diers. Equality, it appears, Is quite as
much an affair of the knee as of brains.

ing the experiment, SO as to allay sus'
picion.
A glass of water being provided, ask
anyone present to drop in it one of the
Jumps of sugar. The sugar will, 1t
first, sink to the bottom, but after q
few moments will rise again to the sur
face, and remain there, to the aston
ishment of those not in the secret
In reality, it is not the sugar itself
which is floating, it having dissolved
in the water; but it is its double, so
to speak-that is to say, the cotton of
the collodion, which filed its pores
and which, freed from the sugar, re-
tains the geometric form and crystal
lied appearance of the original lump.
The illusion is merely optical, and
would be dispelled by the touch.
Should an over-curious spectator at
tempt to take the sugar in his hand to
examine it, he would discover that, in
stead of the solid object he supposed
he was looking at, the floating cube
was soft and spongy substance.

THE BICYCLE BOAT.

xhe Motive syston OF the New-xanG1ed
Pleasure OEoft>80W. the Ratio -
the 0oarings Ii Calculats0-The
Question Of Speed

Small pleasure boats propelled by Q
screw actuated by pedals have been OBJ
served since last summer upon one OF
the lakes of the Bots de Boulogne.
Their mechanism is ingenious. The
idea of substituting a screw actuated
by pedals for oars or paddle wheels is
not new, but this is the first time that
we have seen it realized in q sufficient
" practical manner to assume the pro-
portions of a genuine enterprise. The
motive system of this new boat, de-
vised BY Mr. Wallet, has much analogy
with that of bicycles, and it is
for this reason that it has been
called a bicycle boat. One of
the models especially (the one fig
ured p, which is designed for one per-
son, recalls the bicycle. In another
model, designed Cor several persons,
the saddle is replaced by an arm chair,
as shown in the general view at the top
of the engraving. IN both systems
the motor is the same. 1t consists OF
horizontal shaft that passes through
the stern of the boat and carries the
screw. To this shaft are keyed two bevel
wheels, A and b. either Of which may
be thrown into gear at will with
third mounted upon vertical axis.
The latter receives motion from the
pedals through the intermedium of an
endless chain running over sprocket
wheel. A hand wheel keyed to the
top of this axis keeps up the motion
and renders it regular.
The shaft of the screw is movable in
the direction of the length Of the boat,
and this, through q system of levers,
d C, that the pilot has within reach,
permits of throwing either the pinion,
A or p, into gear at will There is
thus obtained, without any necessity

Facts About Glycerine,

Glycerine is one of the most useful
and misunderstood of everyday assist
ants.
1t must not be applied to the skin
undiluted, or it will cause it to be-
come red and hard, but if rubbed
well into the skin while wet it has a
softening and whitening effect.
It will prevent and cure chapped
hands.
Two or three drops will often stop
the baby's stomacheache.
It will allay the thirst of fever pa
tients and soothe an irritable cough
by moistening the dryness of the
throat.
Equal parts of bay rum and gly-
cerine applied after shaving makes a
man rise up and call the woman who
provided it blessed.
Applied to shoes, glycerine is a
great Iaeservatiye of the leather and
etfectually keeps out the water and
prevents wet feet.
A few drops of glycerine put in
fruit jars the last thing before stealing
them helps to keep the preserves from
molding on the top.
Half teaspoonful every half hour
will cure summer complaint or dys-
sentery.
