IMPACT OF THE BICYCLE.
Serious Damage May Be Done
by Colliding Wheels.

The ability of a bicycle rider
in rapid motion to do serious
damage in a collision with an
other machine, or With a pedes-
TRAN, is fully appreciated by
few wheelmen. A man weigh
ing 80 pounds and moving at
the rate of 10 feet a second
(Which is only about seven
miles an hour, has a moment
um of 1 800 pounds, leaving out
of account the. weight of the
wheel. This is sufficient to
upset any pedestrian with ter
rife force. l. has been suggest
ed that the pneumatic tire irons
a sort of fender, which would
prevent serious concussion in
case of u collision. 1t would
undoubtedly have a slight mod
flying effect, but it would be
of little account. a collision
between two wheels, each with
a 150-pound rider, spinning at
the moderate speed Of seven
miles an hour, would result in
a smashup with a force of 3, O0C
pounds. In view Of these facts
it is no wonder that bicycle ac-
cidents are often very serious.
The tractiye force required to
propel bicycle over smooth
level surface is estimated at .O1
of the load; calling the load l5G
pounds, a force Of ore and a
half pounds would be required
to move the wheel forward, and
thus calls for a pressure on the
pedals of g pounds on q wheel
geared in the usual manner.
When, however, the road IS
rough OF OH an up gra lie, the
case is different. On q grade
of in 10 for example, the rider,
in addition to the tractive force,
actually lifts one-tenth Of his
weight and that of the machine.

cred by the wheel; the descenE

distractions are not an oppos-

as the tire yields in lieu of the

When the harvesting season

is entitled to a location of fifty

not yet been done systemati-

common consent, or the oyster

THE TEXAS OYSTER.
Something About the New Law
The Location of Oyster
Beds.

Septembe Is a month with
an "r." Therefore it is an oys
ter month, says the Galveston
News. For two or three weeks
oysters have been on the mar
ket, but the are usually small
and hard and without that de
licious flavor that makes the
oyster such a delightful article
of food when brought direct
from the cultivated beds a lit
tie later in the season.
The oyster boats have been
put in shape, but there is a
prospect that they will not all
be permitted to ply their trade.
Under the new law only Amer
lean citizens are permitted to
fish on the coasts of the state.
To fish, a person must have a
license, and this he must apply
for in writing to the commits
sioner or a deputy, and state
under oath that he is citizen
Of the United States and a resi-
dent and taxpayer Of the state
of Texas, stating the name and
class of his boat, the number,
length and class of nets to be
used. Each license is good for
six months, the fee being 5 cents
per fathom for drag-seine and
p cents per fatlOm of set-nets.
the measurement to be obtain
ed from the fioat-line.
This applies particularly to
fish. The law makes two classes
of oyster beds, public and pri-
vate. All the natural oyster
beds and reefs in navigable
waters are deemed public. The
season opens on September l
and continues to April 80, and
oyster fishing is prohibited in
other months. The same rule
as to citizenship applies, the
offense being punishable by a
fine of SO to $3.50. The license
fee is So for each pair Of tongs
and is good until April so Of
each year. The punishment for
gathering oysters without a Ii
cense is a fine of SO to $3.50.
The use of a rake or dredge
is prohibited in gathering oys-
ters, the penalty being a fine
of $500 to $1,000. Firms and
corporations are limited to $40
acres, either by ownership, lease
or control.
Heretofore the oyster industry
has been conducted in a sort of
free and easy way.
HOW THE OYSTER Is DEVELOPED.
1t is only proper at this pre-
else season Of the year that
some detailed attention should
be paid by the newspaper read
ing and oyster-eating public to
this enjoyable product of the
ocean, which, for the next eight
months will do such valiant
service on the tables of the rich
and poor alike.
Commands have sometimes
been shocked by the thought
that perhaps the oyster would
some day become extinct. But
they should not worry. The
maternal instinct is developed
in the lady oyster to q rare de-
gree. Every year she produces
60,000.000 eggs, which, in three
years time, will havs grown
sufficiently to adorn the table
of = naillionaiEe. There is Z

ing. Sunday school was in progress, and to his amazement he recognized in one of the leading teachers his old friend, the defaulter. The latter saw him, too, but when spoken to, denied being the man in question and refused to answer the name by which he was addressed. The angry creditor went early the next morning to the police, but when search was made for the de- faulter he was gone. A year or two later he was seen and recognized, also in a Sunday school in the city of New Orleans, and again, though no attempt was made on this occasion to appre- hend him, he fled. The California gold discovery came, and thousands from every civilized country sought the land of promise. In 1851 a young New York man, who, like others, had gone to California to seek his fortune, was pass ing through street of San Francisco, when he heard the sound of a familiar hymn. Turning aside he entered the building whence came the music, and, to his astonishment there was the New York defaulter, who had established a
 aourishing mission school, and was in his old business of superintendent

Homesickness, to a crirn- inal, would, therefore, be most un- f11o rt aiI o,,1 only, but exceedingly dangerous, since 1t might impel him to revisit places where there was strong probability of his detection and apprehension. There Is a very singular tendency among criminals, particularly among murderers, to return to the place where the crime was committed. Why thev should do so is one of the mysteries of human nature and action It would seem as though, after having effected successful escape from the neighbor- hood of their crimes they would have every possible incentive to keen away. A great crime is sure to fix itself on the minds of all in any way connected with it as one of the most prominent events of their lives, and every incident con- nected with it is indelibly fastened on their memories. The face of the mur- derer, particularly. wfen once seen. is remembered as vividly as that of the murdered man, and neither is ever for gotten. One of the most remarkable things about the human memory is its power of calling up old associations by

Up in the top story of the Globe building, where the typesetting and other machines do everything but talk, says the Boston Globe, there Is a pleasant-faced, clear skinned, light complexioned man of 52, who has been with the Globe ever since the birthday of that great paper. Ea Is the night foreman of the composing room. and looks fully 15 years younger than he really is. His name Is MT. Charles Rolfe.
 Nervous headaches that well nigh drove him to distraction first iutro- duced him to Paine's celery compound. That was five years ago, and until that time he was one of the most pronounc- ed opponents of prepared remedies to be found in the city.
 Just how Paine's celery compound was first brought to his attention he does not remember, but it has done him so much good that the compound has no more enthusiastic champion living He is as happy as any one in the en- joyment of good health could be, and for that happiness he gives full credit to Pafne'S celery compound. Read what he has to say about the medicine:
 T am always ready to recommend Paines celery compound when I hear of case similar to my own.

These attacks would oc- cur sometimes as often as three times q. week. Sleep was out of the question, the pillow seeming but a block of wood.

 Case.
 [From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.l
 One unfamiliar with the peculiarities of criminal life might suppose that the criminal who is endeavoring to evade pursuit would make such a change in his habits as to throw his pursuers off the track; that the frequenters of sa- looms and low resorts would change his mode of life and keep from such places; that the habitue of gambling houses and race tracks would find other forms of amusement Of course, it occasion ally happens fugitivecriminalis able to change his habits and form new asso- citations, but such cases are very rare; indeed, quite exceptional. So well un- contain particulars Of their hab- it's, on the supposition that they are less likely to al- erstood Is the inability of the average man to fall into new grooves that the descriptions of criminals telegraphed from the scenes of their crimes to points to which they may have fled, generally contain particulars of their. on the sup position that they arel ess likely to al- ter these than to change their personal appearance. Not many months have elapsed since criminal fled from ar eastern city and disappeared. For a long time his place of concealment re- mained unknown, but he had been a frequenter of race tracks, and all over the United States keen eyes watched the loungers who hang about such places. The patience of the watchers was finally rewarded; habit proved toe strong, and after the lapse of some months the fugitive, overcome by the old passion for playing the races. ' ventured on a race-track and was promptly apprehended.
 Quite as remarkable a case as this wis noted as occurring in this country in the 40s. About 1842 Sunday -schoo superintendent in New York, a man ot middle age and highly respected in the circle in which he moved, proved to be defaulter for a considerable sum. He disappeared from New York, leaving his family, and for several years noth. ing was heard of him. What property he had was seized by his creditors, and as the detective service of the country at that time had no organization wortf mentioning, no protraeted effort was made to pursue and apprehend him Two or three years later one of his cred itors visited Cincinnati on business and being a church member, called ir at the nearest church on Sunday morn.

Bulls Were in Control and Scored Decided
 ly Higher Prices.
 New York, July S.-The bulls were in control at the stock exchange to-day and some stocks scored decidedly high CT prices. The factors at work wer ethe advances in wages as evidenced by the increase of 10 per cent, granted by the Pullman Palace Car company and an- nounced yesterday; the excellent out look for the growing crops as testified to by the presidents of the leading western roads and the successful plac- ing of $5,000,O00 loan in London by Pennsylvania company at BIZ per cent. This rate is an unusually low one for railroad corporation and called atten- tion once more to MT. Morgan's inter- view given out after his retun from Europe that a good demand prevailed abroad for first class American securi- ties.
 Another thing that made the work of advancing prices comparatively easy was the belief that the powerful bank ing interests were engaged in settling the anthracite coal trade troubles. The story was that the Reading would be taken hold of shortly and brought into line with the big companies. The com ing meeting of the sales agents is ex- pected to throw some light on this vexed question.
 At one time prices showed an advance of A to 4 per cent, New England lead ing. with sales up to 551s. As usual the report was circulated that the company had passed under the control of parties interested with the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford While it is believed that this is correct it is impossible to obtain any confirmation of the report. It has been understood for a long time.
