tiguous and IN sight are the famed colo

attractive than from the localities nearer
the mountains, as the distant snow
and the general mountain outline more
defiEe ed. The valley is one great ampni-

 4 correspondent of the Rider and Driver says that he was recently pained to read in that publication an article referring to the bicycle in llippant and contemptuous terms and proceeds to express his trouble as follows:
 Such sentiments are inspired by people who while able to ride mere horse, have not the hands. the seat or the nerves to master bicycle A man who has only known the pleasure of crossing a country aJ the tail of the hounds cannot understand the intoxi- eating delight and c:ihilaraton of spirits engcndcrcd by working a wcll-mau- ncred bicycle along the road--particu- larly when dashing up hill or through deep going.

STRANGE WHEELS.
Such Were the Bicycles of "Ye oIden
 Time"

Ttme."
 Arch@ologists wfa be interested to know that the first record of a bicycle is that of stained-glass window in the church of Stoke Pogis, near Windsor, in England. It was this churchyard. blythe way, that inspired Gray to write his ever-famous elegy. The rider of the cycle in the picture on the window, writes John Gilmer Speed, in Lippin- cotts, which is dated l642, would be mis- taken for Pan with his pipe were it elsewhere than in Christian church, where pagan deities are not made at home. But history is silent as to the use of any such vehicle at that time. One hundred and twenty years or so later there was exhibited before the French court a manumotive carriage of several hundred pounds weight; but the bicycle can scarcely have grown from that. It was much nearer our own time that the first genuine bicycle was invented. IL was quite the fashion to ride such a vehicle in Enpland in 1919; the new invention was vari. ously called the dandy horse," the "hobby-horse," and the "velocipede.n There are many allusions to it in the records of the day, and Tn letter from John Keats in February, 1919, to his brother in America find this mention of it: The nothing of the day is ma chine called the velocipede. It is a wheel carriage to ride cock-horse upon, sitting astride and pushing it along with the toes, a rudder wheel in hand. They will go seven miles an hour"
 How it would have stimulated the poets imagination if, in the year he wrote that epistle, he had been grant ed vision of 6he modern bicycle. a thing of grace, swiftness, and outdoor delight Perhaps a really great poem of the wheel might have resulted. For there is poetry as we'll as utility in it, and anybody with spark of ideaiity must feel this, except in those moments when the mind is taken up with the at tempt to escape being run down by one Of the reckless flyers.

find that he would be out of pocket after his labor was concluded.
 The question of what disposition to make of this molasses is lsnotty one to the sugar planters, and at the last two meetings of their association no other subject has been discussed The plant CTS say that it Is a problem that has to solved, for before the next cropis taken off this surplus molasses has to be got rid of in order to make room for the new crop. Heretofore the stuff has been dumped into the river or swamps. In the latter method it has been found that the molasses sours and makes life disagreeable to those living five miles away, while in dumping it into the river or streams, people living on the banks complain of it as nuisance.
 It is being fed to stock, but from sta tistics there is not enough stock by one third on the various plantations to con sume it. Suggestions have been made to distill it into alcohol, but the plant CTS find that it would require such an outlay of money to erect distillcry to distn fine alcohol so as to com pete with the worlds markets that it would not pay. It has also been sug- gested that, as molasses is excellent stock food, it be shipped to cen tral distributing points where stock is raised in large numbers--Texas, for in- stance by means of tank cars. This suggestion has met with favor, and some day the experiment may be tried
 The only solution, however, in sight seems to bo the discovery of some way in which the molasses can toe burned as fuel. When this problem is solved the planters believe that molasses will then be valuable. Experiments have been tried in burning molasses as fuel, and they have been successful, but it has been on such small scale that it will not pay in it's present crude form. What the planters want is for an in ventiou which will successfully allow molasses to enter the furnace in such manner that it will burn rapidly, will not gum the carrier, and, in fact, do its duty without injuring the furnace in any respect There is a fortune in sight for the man who works out this invention. A system of spraying the molasses on the bagasse as it goes along with carrier to the furnace, is, from all accounts, the only system that win suffice

It Promises to Take the Place of the I'm .'y ported Cocoa.

.s'f fppNbsu SOcpas
 Secretary Herbert has ordered that corhstallS be used to iill the cofferdams of the two big battleships Nos. and 6, the designs of which are being com pleted. Thus, says the Washington Star, purely American produc; will replace the imported cocoa cellulosc, which is largely used in all of our mod crn naval vessels. The order was is sued us the result of careful test of the relative merits of the two kinds of eellulose, conducted by n special board, headed by Constructor Linnard. Two identical iron tanks were filled with the cellulosc, one with cocoa and the other with cornstalk. Six and eight inch shells were fired clear through them, and then the tanks were filled with water Co ascertain to what extent the cellulose fulfilled its function of preventing the leakage of water through the shot holes into the interior of the vessel. In few minutes the cocoa was letting q stream through at the rate of half gallon minute, while at the end of an hour and half not drop had leaked out of the cornstalk tank. This settled conclusiyely the water-rs- sisting merits of the new compound.
 Another important test followed, in- tended to compare the infiamma ability of the two substances, matter that has come to be regarded as of the first order of importance since the Chinese war ships were set on fire by the explosion of JaDancSt shells When small shnlIs were exploded in the cocoa. il smoul- dcred first, and was then famed into flames by light breeze. The cornstalk cellulosc was slightly charrcd. but could not be be ignited, and so scored another point.
 Next the tanks were filled with water and left in warm place for several weeks to determine the chemic. al effect of their contents upon the hull plates of ship and upon the hygenic conditions. The cocoa destroyed the paint, corrodcd the iron plates, and finally decomposod itself The corn stalk only slightly softencd the paint, did not affect the iron plate more than pure water. and, save for slight mouldcring aud the emission of an am mouiacal smell, was unchanged and stll serviceGhle. The board also found that. curnstalk celluloSe cost but seventeen and onc-hah cents per pound as against twcnty-two cents for the cocoa, and as 1t is lighter and less is required to til the cotfcrdams, it really costs but two thirds the price of cocoa.

London and Philadelphia Alike in This
 Respect.


 Respect.
 In her article on "The Myth of the Four Hundred" in the Cosmopolitan, Mrs. Burton Harrison tells of an Amer ican ealing upon lady in London and finding her seated in n big chair by the window, engaged in some sort of necdlework. A young man came in and paid his respects, as it was her day at home, and then bowed himself out Three years later tho American was again in London, and again he called upon the lady. It was her day at home, and there she sat in the same chair by the same window with the same needlework, or some very like it, in her hand, and, more remarkable still, the same young man called and made the same remarks he had made three years before. Mrs. Harrison tells this anecdote to show how unchanged things are in England, and how you are pretty sure to find people just about as you left them. The illustra- tion is good one, but l can match it with better one over here.
 l have the pleasure of knowing family in Philadelphia, who have lived in the same house for forty years. As the children of this family grew up, they developed q musical talent from four or five generations of men learned in the law, as well as skilled with the bow. Every Sunday between twelve and one o'clock, it was the custom of the father and the sons to play classic music. the father being first violin, one son viola, one second violin, the other violonccllo. They played well, and, as l lived nearer Philadelphia in those days than do to-day, often dropped in at these rchcarsals, as they called them. Five years ago l was in Phila- dclphia on Sunday. l had not seen my old friends in fifteen years, but I was sure that they were living at the old place. walked around the house, and, as 1 mounted the marble steps, l heard sounds of music. Could it be possible that rehearsal" was going on? Yes, sure enough. There sat the father, his hair snow white, with bis violin tucked under his chin. and three boys ys'-fathers thcmsclvcs-all play ing away as they had been doing since they were children. To be sure, they were married men and did not live at home, but they met every Sunday morning at their fathers for the usual music. l expect to run on to Philadcl- phia again before long, and. though it has been at least five years since was at my old friends house, l expect to hear the music on Sunday morning. for l shall time my visit so as to include a SnnAnu
