chine, and he finds JOY in the smooth,
easy, graceful motion of the wheel.
Presently he discovers that he is fif-
teen, twenty, thirty miles from home,
and that his dinner will be ready in
two hours. Then, with muscles al
ready strained and the best of the ride
over, he puts about and labors at a
speed he is not disposed for, something
of worry being added to the work, and
arrives home in tagged condition.
When a man is lightly dressed, has
a light wheel, and has gradually ac-
CURED facility in its management he
can do things that a man who rides
only for pleasure cannot do. The diff
ference in weight between a racing
wheel and roadster" is slight when
one lifts the two. but it tells severely
on the muscles in days run. When
the man on the heavy wheel, or the I'M
practiced man, attempts to keep up
with a trained man on light wheel he
is in the same position as the fat man
who tries TO run with an athlete His
strength is soon exhausted, and in time
he must succumb to the strain.

Tigers are not in the habit of looking
up and il takes several seconds before
the animal realizes where the new
strange light comes from. This pause,
which he makes before endeavoring to
escape, is quite sufficient to enable the
sportsman to take aim and place a
large, substantial bullet in vital part
of the tigers body.
AT present." says the inventor Of
this system in letter TO the Scien-
tific American, II use battery of six
large cells, filed with sal ammoniac. It
is very heavy and cumbersome and
the light only a five candle power
lamp. Its recommendation are that
the battery is good for the next ten
years and only wants an occasional fill
ing up of the cells with water and some
times little fresh sal ammoniac. AS
l can only go shooting during six
months of the year, this is a great adj
vantage. The method OF using is as
follows: From the box containing the
cells have a line of wire double of
course), say 30 to 40 feet long, slipped
onto each end of the box by butterfly
nuts, the lamp, which is tied TO a
branch of tree Immediately over, say
20 feet high, the bait being at the other
end
"At about two yards from the bat
terry there is a connection, l think
called a male switch. A short line OF
wire, about or feet long, makes the
connection to the fore end of my rifle;
at one end of this short length is a fe-
male switch to fit on 10 the above male
one, and at the other end two small
rings are fastened by two big-headed
screws to the bed of the connection. On
nearing the tiger at the kill, i aim as
nearly in the direction as / can, then
slight pressure of the thumb makes the
electric connection and the light opens
right over the tiger
This scientific sportsman also en-
ployed accumulators, but they did not
seem to be adapted to such rough work.
He is now fitting himself with bat
terry which may be carried in the belt
like cartridges.
Thirty such batteries carried in this
way would, it is estimated, be sufficient
to provide sixteen candle power light,

Turkeys Reply Not satisfactory.

The reply of the Porte, of Turkey,
TO the demand of the powers for re-
forms in Armenia is conciliatory and
on many points agrees with the pow
ers' demands. 1t proposes to appoint
Christian assessors to assist the Turk
ish provincial government and TO ad-
init a proportion of Christians among
the minor officials, police and gem

the kurds from violence. AS it also
declares that some of the powers de-

of execution, it is probable that the
powers will not be satisfied with the
reply.

1t has been found almost impossible
to draw tigers into the open during the

but at night this is easily accomplished
by placing a dead carcass in some con-

hidden in ambush. But after the tiger
has scented the blood OF the dead ami

it is difficult for the hunter to take aim
without seeing him.
This has now been obviated by hang
ing an electric light directly over the
carcass. At the instant that the light
is turned on the tiger is so startled by
it's appearance that he does not move.
