Increasing School Room.

Alderman Hoefling has started
in to increase the school room
capacities of our public schools in
very simple manner. The
school benches and desks in use at
present are large, bulky affairs,
taking up much room. The alder
man has ordered, for starter,
fifteen new desks for the school on
Avenue T.. These desks are single
seaters, take up little room and are
still CONVENIENT for the student.
They are made in this city and
cost but $l.l0 each. By the intro
duction of these desks the capacity
of each school room can be in
creased fully 10 per cent.

self. This device consists of an infiat-
able rubber bag, which acts as seat
and buoy, in which is metallic bear
ing sleeve for shaft, on whose outer
end is screw or paddle-wheel, waist
and shoulder straps preventing the
person using the buoy from being
washed off. The forward end of the
bearing sleeve is forked, the forks be-
ing pivoted to an air-tight casing or
buoyant chest, against the rear side Of
which the seat may be folded up. The
casing also forms a partial support, and
contains the mechanical propelling de-
vices, having at its under side bearings
for the horizontal propeling shaft, and
on its front side bearing for a vertical
whose operation is adapted to uphold
the buoy in the water. On the casing
is stepped mast, on which a sail may
be set, and downwardly extending
frame supports pedal shaft, by which
may be operated, through sproclset
chain connection, a crank shaft having
bevel gear meshing with a bevel PIN
ion on the vertical shaft, the latter
shaft also having bevel pinion mesh
ing with bevel gear on the forward
end of the horizontal shaft, both shafts
and their screws or paddles being thus
operated by the pedals and by hand
cranks at each side of the casing.
There is rudder on the forward side
of the casing, and a compass is mount
ed just below a lantern supported on a
rod In front of the mast. Thelpedals
and crank handles are arranged to be
folded down upon their shafts, all parts
of the device being designed to occupy
as small a space as possible when not
in use.

ELEVATED BICYCLE ROADS.
demand said to Exist for Such Structures
In Large Cities.

ANEA4huu SdAl TO ENAHN TOT SuCn STRUCTURES
In Large Cities.
The proposed building of an elevated
bicycle road between Chicago and Mil
waukee, distance of eighty-fve miles,
says the Engineering News, is an in
dication of the Importance the wheel"
is assuming as a means of transport.
In many localities it is already inter-
fering with the income of trolley
suburban lines almost as much as
these lines have affected the traffic on
steam railways. In large cities special
streets are now set apart for bicycles
and suitable smooth roadway is pro-
vided; in other cases petitions are
being actively circulated asking that
such facilities be provided. The wheel,
in fact, has superseded horses in great
part, and the speed obtainable makes
it a formidable rival to electric or other
mechanical means of transport over
considerable distances.
The Engineering News is not pre-
pared to say how many bicycles are
now used by the men of New York city
and vicinity in reaching their places of
business, but finds it safe to say that
large as the number is it would be vast
ly increased with a smooth, direct and
unobstructed roadway provided espe-
cially for this class of travellers.
There should be a round profit in an
elevated bicycle road, the Engineering
News says, extending from beyond the
Harlem to the Battery in New York
for the enterprising capitalists who
first secure the right to build it. 1t
would be a cheap road to construct, for
the maximum load would be very light
on an eight-foot or a ten-foot wide
structure carried on posts on each sid e
of the street. 1t would be the least OBJ
jectionable of all roadways in opera
ton, for there would literally be no
noise and no dirt, and as the wear upon
its road surface from pneumatic tires
would be unappreciable the cost of
maintenance would be equally light.
A few toll collectors and bicycle stable
masters at intervals along the line
would constitute the entire working
force.

SET OF PoTTAwAToMlE SUN.
Only a Remnant Left of a Once Powerful
Indian Tribe.


Indian Tribe.
The census of the Pottawatomie In
dams of southwestern Michigan has
just been completed and shows the rem
nant of this once powerful tribe to
number only 21S souls. The enumera-
ton was taken under direction of the
department of the interior and was for
the purpose of finding the number who
are entitled to participate in the distri-
button of 100000, claimed as arrears
due the tribe. For a score or more Of
years Indians have planned, hoped and
schemed to get money. The claim was
finally favorably considered in the
court of claims at Washington, says the
Detroit Free Press, and the money will
be distributed among the Indians as
soon as the guardians are appointed for
the minor children and certain legal
formalities complied with.
At the time of the first settlement
with the Indians, soon after the civil
war, they were in terrible straits and
were induced to accept the sum of $780,
900 in full payment of their claims.
They accepted it under protest, how
ever, and the present claim has been
pending since that time. The money
was soon spent in dissipation, and the
members of the tribe have since eked
out a precarious existence, building
cabins away from the roads and man
aging to supply the necessaries of life
by cutting wood and occasionally work.
ing as laborers. The remnant of the
tribe is mostly domiciled in Silver
Creek township, Cass county, and on
tract of land near Watervliet, in Ber-
rien county. Dissipation, civilization
and inter-marriage are together prov
ing too much for these children of the
forest. The deaths usually outnumber
the births, and bits of legend only will
soon remain to tell the tale of Potta-
watomie occupation in Michigan. The
new allowance of So, 900 will probably
assist in thinning the ranks a little
faster instead of insuring the comfort
of those who remain.
