BICYCLE EVOLUTION.
Just at Present This Is a Most
Interesting Theme.
Almost Everybody Rides a Wheel Nova
days, But Few Know Anything
About the History of the
Popular Vehicle.

The writers upon the history of the
bicycle generally begin with the in
vention fthe draisine, between 1916 and
1919, by Baron Won Drais, of Mannheim
whom some authorities describe as a
trenchman, while other, g.yl lis name
as Baron Drais de Severbunn-althoug
vehicles with three or more wheels,
propelled by hand power, are traced
back in England to about 1867. The
draisine, or hobby horse, had two
wheels, and was propelled by the rider
touching his toes to the ground and the
fashion of using it was soon laughed
down by the caricaturists. Gaven
Dalzell. of Lanarkshire, Scotland, a
cooper, and afterward a dry goods
merchant, who had already made
a tricycle. driven by crank attached
to a sprocket wheel, constructed
a wooden horse" in 1874 which bore
considerable resemblance to the modern
bicycle. in that the rear wheel was
driven by levers worked by the feet.
This wheel is still in existence, and two
of Mr.. Dalzell's sons are living in Pitts
burgh, says the Buffalo Courier. 1t is
said that Mr.. Dalzell was preceded by
Drumlanarig blacksmith named Nc
MILAN, who contrived similar device
in 1910 or 1871. The trouble with the
Scottish inventors, however, as has
been the case with many other clever
men, is that their ideas did not lead to
anything.
In 1855 an old draisine was brought
to Michaux, Paris carriage builder, to
be repaired. The idea occurred to him
10 fix pin to one of the spokes and
pass it through the end of long rod,
so that the rider, after getting up speed
by touching his feet to the ground,
could keep the machine in motion with
one hand, while he steered with the
other. Finding the feet in the way,
Michaux conceived the plan of using
them, instead of one hand to drive the
front wheel. In 1869 Pierre Lallament,
another Frenchman, made better ma
chine of the same sort, but it is not be-
lieved that he knew anything of the
experiments of Michaux. Lallament
entered into partnership with an Eng
lishman named Carroll, and the two Sc

The Water Spider Is Queer.

The water spider is the curiosity of
the genus aranee. He spends the prin-
cipal portion of his time under water,
and, in order to make it more con-
venient, always carries bubble of air
about with him to facilitate the breath
ing operation. The under side of his
body is specially adapted for the pur-
pose of carrying this air supply, being
covered with tiny hairs that are set so
closely together that the surface film
of the water does not pass them, al
though the air does, thus imprisoning
or combining the air mr,DEr the hairs

article relative to the James-Jefferson suit
tried at Pottsville last week. Mr. James
says the water thrown by Mrs. Jefferson
was clean and that it was thrown delib-

Mrs. James, who had a child in her arms.
Mrs. James claims she did not touch Mrs.
Jeffersons son. Judge Savidge did rep
rimand both women, but did not remark
to Mrs. James that they "were children
and ought to be whipped and put to bed
without their suppers." Mrs. Jefferson

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Shenandoah Powder COmpany's Plant
Destroyed Saturday Night.
NOBODY ABOUT THE MILL |!
The shock Was Very Distinctly Felt
in Town-The Company Has AL
ready Commenced TO Rebuild
the Plant
OBODY ABOUT THE MILL !

A terrific explosion of blasting powder
occurred at about 11.3O Saturday night,
near Ringtown, in the Catawissa valley
Although the scene of the explosion was
over three miles distant the shock was so
distinctly felt here that many people left
their beds and rushed from their houses,
supposing that some dreadful disaster had
occurred in their immediate vicinity.
Many of the men aroused hurried over the
mountain to the scene.
The explosion took place at the powder
mill of the Shenandoah Powder Company
and completely destroyed the entire plant.
Flames communicated with the ruins i'm
mediately after the explosion and nothing
but one of the stacks of the boiler house
and a fly wheel remained in position yes
terday morning The buildings destroyed
We're drying and stock house 16x4S feet
in size; glaze house, 1920; the mill,
20x22; engine house. 16 feet square; boiler
house, 12x4O, and l1eg house, 12x16.
The dry house contained about 1900 kegs of
powder and there was about 200 loose ex-
plosives, The loss amounts to about 81, 900
on buildings, machinery and powder The
works were located one mile and half
southeast of Ringtown, and the concussion
caused by the explosion shattered almost
every pane of glass in that village.
Fortunately no people were injured by
the explosion There were none about the
mill at the time.
The cause of the explosion is mystery
None of the proprietors can even conjecture
as to what caused it. There was a heating
apparatus in the dry house, but the fire
had been fixed so that it would require no
attendance until this morning. The ex-
plosion causes a severe loss to the company,
as the plant was a new one and there was
not cent of insurance on any part of it.
The Shenandoah Powder Company is
composed of John Roberts, president; F..
c. Reese, secretary; Daniel Bedea, treas
urer, all residents of this place. They
started the plant on the 7th of last May
and were operating very successfully. The
company has displayed admirable pluck
and enterprise by beginning at once to
counteract the effect of the explosion
This morning they put large force of men
at work to clear away the ruins and say
that within ten days they will have the
plant rebuilt and in operation.
Hundreds of people of this place trav-
eled over to the valley yesterday to view
the ruins. There are many stories as to
the effect of the explosion in town. 1t was
said that the concussiol threw a boy from
chair in a house on Bowers street. The
facts of the case are that the boy was doz-
! ing on the chair when the concussion caused
the door of the room to swing open. The
shock and the swinging door frightened
the boy so much that he fell from the chair
and rolled over and over the floor scream
| ing in terror.
