Ex-President Harrison Hasn't Got

INDIANAPOLIS. April 27.-Benjamin
Harrison has returned from Richmond,
Ind. where he has been engaged in the
Morrison will case. He has been a much
sought-for man since the publication of
his La Junta silver speech. Streams of
correspondents have been waiting on
him in the court room, and continued
their pursuit after his return to Indian
apolis. 10 all of these he has said that
lie had nothing to say on the speech or
on political subjects. The Associated
Press today asked him if he had any
thing to say bearing on silver or other
political questions.

in Figure 1. BY placing the shaft
of this toy, vanes upward, between
the palms of the hand, rubbing the
same briskly in one direction, then
letting go, a Wis ascendance is i'm
parted to the little toy, so that it
rises rapidly high in the air and
sails away with the wind. 1t does
not matter how many vanes the
little machine may have.
Thus the idea struck him that, if
on a larger machine this Wis a tergo
could be constantly kept up, the
problem of navigating the air with
out resort to a balloon would be
solved.
''Ponderous machinery, electrical
or otherwise" said he yesterday,
evidently could not be used and
could not be depended upon, both ma
chinery and driving force being
liable to get out of order. Lightness
and simplicity, therefore, being a
sine qua non, 1 propose that the
driving wheel shall get it's motion
from the operator himself"
To accomplish this he combines a
cycle, to which pedals are attached,
with the shaft of the wheel, as
shown in the illustration. To in
sure further lightness of the ma
chine he Furthermore proposes to
make the major jortion of the ma
chine out of aluminium, and the
vanes themselves of silk, attached to
a frame work. The steering ap-
paratus he places in front. Both
driving and steering wheels are at
tached to the shaft by means of.
inter wheels. (See fig. $3.50 To
the shaft of the steering wheel are

one direction to another when salt.
ing against the wind, or as occa-
sion requires.
He proposes to have the machinery
of the steering wheel so arranged
that the wheel may be made to
rotate in either direction, thus over
coming currents from any direction:
AS to the vane wheel itself, it NAV
be made, he says, to act as a para
chute by relaxing the vane SUM-,
ports slightly, thus fitting them;
closely together.
BICYCLE FOR LAZY PEOPLE
In trying to get UP a motor suit
able for an air ship an inventor hes
evolved lazy mans bicycle. All
the exertion that is required of the
rider is to keep his balance and
steer the machine. The power that
propels it is furnished by a hot air
apparatus so light that it adds only
twelve pounds to the weight of the
machine, and SO simple that it does
not mar the symmetry of the wheel
in the eyes of the bicycle crank.
w. B. Keep and the inventor took
spin down Michigan boulevard

motor tandem ever, seen in Chicago.

1t is said that the idea of tele-
phone was originally conceived from
a toy, viz: That of two pasteboard
or tin cylindrical boxes having
parchment bottoms, the sound-con-
Quoting medium being a string or
cord, which was attached to the cen
ter of the parchment. 1t was fur
Their found that when this conduct
ing string was thrown over a tele-
graph wire the sound vibrations
could be transmitted to a much
greater distance than otherwise;
hence the electric telephone, says
the Baltimore American.

least, he is about to solve the prob

THE HOT AIR BICYCLE.


is well known law that rapid evapor-
alton of any fluid produces cold, the
more rapid the evaporation the more
intense the cold. This engine utilizes
this principle. The first or backward
movement of the piston or plunger
pumps the engine full of air and at the
same time admits the. desired charge
OF coal oil. The same movement pro
duces an electric spark which evapor-
ICES the coal oil and cools the engine.
The second or forward movement OF
the piston congresses this compound
OF Oil and air into one end of the cylin-
DER, when just as the piston starts
backward another electric spark ex-
plodes the vapor, thus producing
power. The admission valve is opened
mechanically every other time, thus
allowing the burnt gases to escape.
The forward wheel is twenty-five
inches in diameter, the rear wheel
twenty inches. Both are fitted with
four-inch pneumatic tires

THE SAKE FOUNDERED.
Steamer Goes Down Off Maumee
Bay-One Man Drowned.

Steamer Goes Down Off Maumee
Bay-One Man Drowned.
TOLEDO, O., April 27.-The small
steamer Sake Shepard, of Port Huron,
foundered and sunk five miles north
east by east of Turtle light, just out
side of Maumee bay, this afternoon.
The vessel had a load of salt from Ma
; rine City to Toledo, and carried
crew of seven men. 1t is thought that
they are all safe except one man, who
/, is not yet accounted for. There has
been heavy weather on Lake Erie for
! two days, and the Shepard had a very
rough passage across the head of the
]. lake. While about half way between
Monroe and Turtle light her machinery
broke down, and shortly afterwards she
{ was swamped by the heavy sea. The
/, first news of the wreck was received
here in the shape of a message from
3 Vienna, Mich, signed by the captain
of the vessel, and asking that help be
sent out in the lake, as there were still
two men on board. The tug Roy was
sent out and found the engineer, Albert
SHamlin, floating on the deck house,
and nearly exhausted by cold and ex-
posure. Hamlin was in such a mental
state that he was not able to give a
very coherent account of what hap
pened further than is stated above.
He says that the captain and four of
the crew left the sinking craft in the
yawl, but does not explain way all
of the men were not taken. He and a
seaman named Elmer Brown were left
on board. Brown put on life pre-
server and jumped overheard, and it
is feared that he was drowned. 1t was
presumed that the men who left the
wreck in the yawl were saved, though
nothing definite has yet been learned
from Vienna. The Shepard is lying in
about twenty-five feet of water.
