FOLDING BICYCLE NOW
1t May Be Doubled Up So as
to Occupy Half Its
Ordinary Space
easier TO CARRY OR TO STORE 1T
Many People Will Welcome Such a Thing
For It Can Be Put Under the
Bed or Hung or
Peg

Bicycle inventors come thick and fast.
American inventive genius apparently
has concentrated upon the wheel Every
week some inventor comes forward with
some new device designed to make cyc-
ling easier or faster or to MAKE wheel
lighter. In France. however, the invent
ors are experimenting with petroleum
driven bicycles. Why petroleum is better
than the human leg, and why the
machine should be dubbed bicycle ttte
are questions only plausible Frenchman
can answer. The petroleum bicyclette
participated In the recent road race be-
tween Paris and Bordeaux. 1t gave a
good account of itself.
A folding bicycle is the newest novelty
in the steel steed line. By simple and
ingenious arrangement the connecting
rods of the frame may be folded until
the machine is reduced to the size of one
wheel
The inventor claims for the folding bi.
Cycle the possibility OF storing it in one S
room, the ease with which it may be
carried down stairs or hoisted in dumb
walters or elevators. 1t can be readily
up and down bad roads. Such bicycle
can be readily placed in a carriage or
other vehicle for transportation. Doubt
less, also, the policeman who has had an
experience in leading the bicycle of
prisoner to tho station house will appre-
ciate the merits of a machine that can be
folded up and carried under the arm,
where it is powerless to work injury.
The inventor claims further that in its
folded snape the bicycle may be securely
tielocked, but seems to forget that in its
portable shape it presents an extraordi-
nary lnducement to the intending thief.
The folding biycle is one of the things
that, now that it has been invented will
cause people to wonder why it had not
been thought of before. Dwellers in flats,
however, where there are tenants given
to storing their wheel in the lower hall.

sonal thanks to the genius who has
shown how the most unwieldy thing ever

pose-may be made less obtrusive and less
dangerous. There is no reason why it
should not be hung up on peg out of
everybody's way.

Lillian Russell on a Wheel

1t is now certain that queenly Lillian
Russell has wheels. AT least a-wheeling
the airy, If not farylike cantatrice is to
be seen, for just like thousands of peo-
pie not SO well known, the petted prima
donna lis in the saddle"
Bright and early yesterday morning
Miss Russell drove up to q cycling aca-
DENY on the boulevard and announced
her readiness to take a first lesson, says
the New York Sun. She was gowned in
a dainty Glue and white striped dimity,
trimmed in profusion of lace and blue
ribbon, and as she entered the circle with
her instructor there was quite tiutter of
excitement anon" the novices and ex-
perts who had tom in for an early spin.
There is a certain glamour about stage
celebrities to tne majority of young
women, and several openly declared that
it was real treat to get such good look
at the prima donna in her everyday
clothes; then. too, they were much inter
ested to see if she who is so wonderful in
their eyes could do any better at a first
lesson than the average enthusiasts.
They seemed rather disappointed when
the object of their curiosity displayed
the customary timidity in mounting. and
murmurs OF surprise TOOK the place OF girl
ish admiration when the footlight favor
ite gave every evidence of stage fright as
she was conducted around by her in
structor. After Miss Russell had worked
hard for halt hour she was assisted off
the wheel and the instructor gave her
ride on tandem.
"She sal the front wheel like queen. :"
so some young girl said. The fair sing
er's eyes sparkled2andI her cheeks glow
ed with the exhllerating exercise. The
only thing that kept her from being per-
fectly happy was that the folds of her
voluminous and diaphanous gown proved
to be too good wind catcher for cycling
and she announced after dismounting
that she would buy a cycling suit before
taking another lesson. AS she left the
school the women bestowed their admir-
ing glances and then fell to speculating
on the costume that she would select.

BICYCLES in Offices

The bicycle has raised new legal ques-
ton in Chicago. Many OF the tenants of
the big office buildings in that city ride
down town and up town on their wheels,
and have been accustomed to find storage
room for them in their offices. So gen
eral has the practice become that the
agent in charge of one of the largest of
these buildings has issued orders to the
effect that bicycles shall on longer be
allowed on the premises.
The first tenant on whom the new rule
was enforced happened ito be lawyer,
who decided to make a test case of it in
the courts. The suit is now on the docket
and the legality of the landlords action
will soon be settled as far as Illinois is
concerned
The bicycle riding tenants claim that
they have as much right to take their
wheels to the rooms or offices for the use
of.wnich they pay. as they have to place
any article of furniture therein. The
landlords who contest this claim insist
that theiwheel must be considered merely
as a vehicle and, that a such it has no
place IN the buildings deovted to bust
ness. Not all owners and agents of big
buildings takei this view. Even in Chi

What Is Your Horse Power !?

An experiment which may be performed
by any one riding bicycle is the deter
milation of the horse power of the rider.
by simple calculation after the ascent of
a hill. says a writer in the Scientific
American. The mechanical equivalent
of horse power. being 5000 pounds
raised through a distance of one foot in
one minute. may be directly applied to
machine and its rider. The only require
ments besides man and wheel are stop
watch and steep, smooth hill of known
altitude. The hill should be steep
enough to prevent one from ascending
with any great velocity. and thus have
the wind resistance vitiate the resalt:
