Utilized an old-style Bicycle.

"Ihad often wondered what becameof the
old-style bicycles" remarked wheelman.
edtheotherday whathad become
of them. During a ride down in Jersey
I came across sawmill in the woods. Te
my astonishment and amusement found
that the motive power for the mill was sup
piled by a young man and one OF the big
wheeled bicycles that were in vogue before
the safeties appeared. The bicycle was
suspended from the ceiling and connected
with the mill machinery by belt. The
young man sat on the seat OF the wheel and
worked the pedals with his feet, and In
this way kept the saw In motion for hours
at tinie."-Philadelphia Call

q great success, as may be learned from
''Sberidan's Ride" It Is, however, carry
ing Goals to Newcastle to speak to Wash
ingtouians Of Sousa and his music. HIS
music Is In the air. People slug it, whistle
1t, and dance 1t.
Another popular composer of instrumental
music is Mr.. j. s. II. Zimmerman, who
has written q great number of excellent
dance music, consisting OF waltZes and
two-steps. His latest composition, The
Arlington Wheelmen," is said to be very
fine piece OF music, and although yet un-
published, is d favorite in musical circles
In the city.
Two composers who have done their be Is
work In the classic style are Henry Xander
and Ernest Lent. Mr.. Lent's style is quits
familiar from many of his studies and
compositions for the violin.
Prof waldecker's Business High School
March," McKcldin's Eastern High School
March," Henry White q "Notre Dams
March," and Riley's Filtration Schot-
tische" arc familiar pieces and speak the
merits of the composers.
Nothing about music III Washington would
be complete without mention of Prof. Fan
ciuIli, the leader OF the Marine Band, whose
prestige OF position is accented by his ability
as a composer and as a musician ICON
aniore." Two OF his latest compositions
which have created some stir are the "Only
Texas Star" dedicated to Col .Sterrett,
and THE New Baby" dedicated to The
Washington Evening Times.
Prof. Fancinlli's style in his lighter and
severer moods is popular. He loves his art
for the sake OF Itself, without regard to its
Impressions Oh The public, but in the latter
he has been eniinently happy. His COM
positions are found occasionally on his sum-
nier evening concert programmes, when
they are always hailed with delight.
His Judgment in the selection of pro-
granImes has also met with great popular
approval His rank is of course among the
first composers in the country.

Thenew public library in Boston may fairly
rank among the most nota BILE institutions in
the United States. One of its most unique
features is the electric service, of which
j very full description is given in the Electri-
cal Engineer of June 8. The handling, de-
livery and distribution of books is carried
out by means Of an apparatus of the general
type of the well-kDown store service
system. An attendant has only to pick out
the book wanted, place it in a little car on

from which it runs at the rate of 500 feet
per minute, to q special elevator, which

and then delivers it to the return track lead
il g to the siding from which 1t started.
There are six stories-or stacks, as they
are termed-each of which has special
carrier service and special elevator
The track is of eight-inch gauge, the cars
are of wire and will carry from ten to
thirty pounds of books at each trip.
The rapldity with which electricity is
supplanting steam is not realized by the
people. Every little while, though, a
movement in that direction by large
corporation is made much of in the news
he discussion of the significance to the
labor world of the change. The successful
operation by electric motors of the heavy
rain traffic in the Baltimore and Ohio
tunnel at Baltimore settles for all time in
he minds of railroad men the early adop-
lion of electricity for the movement of
trains, passenger and freight. Indeed, the
semi-official announcement is already made
hat the New York elevated lines are to
be equipped with the same electric motors
Is are used in Chicago, while it is kno wn
hat the engineers on the new underground
system to be built by the city are as one

An exhaustive trial is to be made of sew
eral newly-proposed methods of signaling at
sea during the naval maneuvers. Three
modes have been brought forward, against
all OF which there are some objections-a

expansion and contraction by rods run
ning below the coming tower, huge
semaphore and a collapsible canvas drum.
The semaphore certainly appears the most
promising.
