Of steel as easily as a child peels a
banana. Each spoke has to stand so
many pounaS, the frame must do the
same, the rim, the chain, the sprockets,
hub, the front fork, pedals, cranks,
handlebar, and even the ball bearings
must show that they are absolutely
right. The coasting ability Of a bicycle
depends upon the true character Of
the bearings. TO show how finely
they are measured 1t will only be
necessary to say that in one shop there
Is a machine which makes all the

frame is cut. The III mixing of the rims
in still another department is an inter-
esting process. Sheets of steel four
feet wide and twenty feet long are run
into the cutter, which slices them up
with nice accuracy into the required
widths aud lengths. Another machine
curves each strip, and Il third bends
them into the required shape for at
taching the rubber tire. The ends are
then .brazed together. Castings have
gone out OF date for the fastening OF
Joints, brazing being the method
largely used now. When this has been
done, holes are made for the spokes,
and then the rim passes on q the
department where the spokes are adj
justed.
The sprocket wheels are first cut In
circular form out of sheets Of steel
and then piled mp in heaps Of q dozen

YER. express the belief that the British In

First-There shall be no exercise OF force
which will affect the commerce or In
erests of ths United States or her oitizsns

Seoond-The exercise of force shall be
onfned to the execution Of a passive
blockade" Of Nicaraguan ports according

The passive blockade Is designed to

A PLAY CENSOR.
The Man Who Must Approve All Dramas
For Production In England.

The Man Who Must Approve All Dramas
For Production In England.
In this country, IL man writes play
and can find manager with sufficient
capital to produce it, the public hears it,
whether it be good or bad. Sometimes this
arrangement is q very desirable one, and
again IL is not, for frequently so called
melodramas are exploited which have
nothing except salaciousness and low sem
sationalism 20 recommend them.
In England this Is different. The author
there must first get the approval of the
play censor before he can think of produc-
ing his work. Very frequently that gen
tleman withholds his consent, and the
fruition Of the writers ambition is thereby
delayed sometimes for long period. This
was tho case with n play which Oscar
Wilde wrote a few years ago The censor
said that it was immoral, and Oscar was
Obliged to content himself with produc-
tion In Paris, with Sara Bernhardt in the
principal role
But censors, despite the fatuous theory
OF the British government that they are
infallible, are but human, after all, and
ono OF them recently died. His successor

Joseph Calib, n butcher by trade and a
native Of Dumbarton I'm Scotland, was fa.
nous in his day ms n great pedestrian. He
could at times do nine miles and quarter
an hour with ease and keep this speed up
for 100 minutes Tho muscles Of his legs
and thighs were so fully developed that he
was Obliged 10 have special socks and
trousers made for him.
His great crowning feat of pedestrian
ism was accomplished on Jan. 2, 1890,
when he walked 620 miles without break,
the distance being covered I'm 102 hours
and 40 minutes. This feat was witnessed
by over 1000 spectators and took place on
the road between Dumbarton and Glas-
Cow During its accomplishment he drank
sparingly Of whisky and water and ate
fairly large quantities Of porridge and
milk, these refreshments being supplied
10 him en- route.
