A Freak of Electricity,

A rail was melted by an electric
current few weeks ago on a plate
girder bridge carrying the New
York, New Haven, and Hartford
Railroad over Mount Hope Street
in North Attleborough, Mass.
An electric railway passes under
the bridge, but the Roadway is so
limited that the trolley wire is not
carried under, but has its ends
anchored by three guy wires to
the plate girders, the car running
under the bridge by it's own i'm
petus. Each guy wire has a glass
insulator; but one Of these was
broken, and the current leaked
along the wire to the girder and
along one OF the cross Orders, the
top Of which was only about in
below the base of the rail. Rain
and an accumulation of cinders
facilitated the formation of an arc,
and the rail base was melted away
until in one place it was only 2iin.
wide. Engineering News says
that the corrosion was discovered
before the passage of the morning
train, or serious derailment
might have occurred.

Secret of the Popularity of the
Bicycle.

Secret of the Popularity of the
Bicycle.
Inventors of auxiliary power ap.
planes for bicycles should take
notice of the fact that the secret
to-day Of the bicycles popularity
is not merely because person is
enabled to ride fast or far, but be-
cause the riding was without
foreign assistance. Vanity and
egotism cut a considerable figure
in the wheels popularity. To say
81 rode on an electric motor BIZ
cycle to Albany to-day" would
mean the same as to say, 81 rode
on a railroad train to Albany to-
day." But to say, 81 rode my
wheel to Albany to-day" means
something entirely different. The
rider who did this in fast time
would be hailed with great ap-
plause, and the telegraph would
announce the fact to the world.
In improving the bicycle the main
idea is to get the. most results out
of the least power applied by man
to the pedals. Auxiliary power
has, nothing to do with bicycle i'm
provement. 1t belongs to class
OF inventions designed to carry or
convey, not to those by which man
carries himself.-The Wheel.

1t is not any serious objection to
the proposition to bond this city

but the attempt to force a vote
without specifying in particular

spent. San Antonio will vote
money for improvements that i'm
prove, but not for the kind that

1t is stated that the president
and his financial clerk are troubled
over the monetary situation. This
is generally the case where the re-
ceipts of trade are constantly fall
ing below expenses, and the
months as they grow only show
that the money borrowed to keep
business alive has all been swal-
lowed up and no permanent relief
afforded. Where the mischief was
done was in the fool arrangement
by which revenue was cut down
with both eyes open, trusting to
blind luck to so retrench expenses
as to Offset the reduced returns.
