GEARING or BICYCLES.

With people who contemplate the pur-
chase OF new bicycles one Of the most
important questions is that Of gears"
Not one person in ten who ride
knows what gear" means except that
Il has some relation 20 the going Of the
machine. High gears and low gears are
talked about. but are confused I'm the
minds Of many with high and low wheels
or saddles or spr0cket wheels. The mean.
ing Of the word as it applies TO bicycles
IS explained in the statement that
wheel 'geared" to sixty-eight inches will
travel by one revolution OF the pedals
sixty-eight times the ratio between diam
eter and circumference 31ii6). or 2l3.63
inches. That is to say. one revolution OF
the pedals Of a wheel geared TO sixty
eight carries the rider nearly eighteen
feet.
AS the weight Of wheels has decreased
during the last few years. the tendency
has been TO increase the gear. which in
great part accounts for the much faster
time made by racing men now on the
track as compared with that made a
few years ago. \ comparatively short
time since a wheel that was geared 10
sixty inches was looked at as useless by
most wheelmen. There was reason for
IT, too, for high gearing means hard push
ing, which becomes harder still as the
weight Increases. The lghrness OF
wheels now. however, has made IL posi-
bic 10 run the gear up to sixty-eight. sey.
enty-two and even as high as eighty
inches. the former figure being the one
at which most wheels are eeared. With
the little wheels now used the going OF
eighteen feet at each revolution Of the
pedals does not require any harder pedal
ing than 1t took to run the heavy wheels
al sixty.
RIDE UNDER POLICE rscoRT.
In New York and Brooklyn are small
squads OF police mounted on bicycles,
| their chief duty being 10 guard and pro-
tect the ladies' OF the 400 who go out

CARLIsTS ARE KICKING UP A ROW
Protest Against the Course Regarding the
Mora Claim.

mora Claims
WASHING TON, Aug. 1.-The department
Of state has not been advised from
any official source of the successful land
ing of two large filibustering expeditions
some quarters here there is disposition
TO believe that these stories are 1oated
for the sake OF their morally discourage
ing effect upon the Spaniards. Captain
Shoemaker, chief of the revenue cutter
service, points out that il would be i'm
possible for any considerable number of
men to conceal themselves on any of the
Florida keys for even a week without be.
ing discovered. Many of the keys arc
low-iying barren islands, every object on
which could be seen from a vessels deck.
The others are carefully watched by three
cutters now in those waters. The Cubans
claim that the men OF their expedition
hid on one of these keye for many days
after having failed to land on the island
Of Cuba.
y cable from Madrid says that "the
Carlist senators and deputies have ad-
dressed protest to the government
against the payment of the Mora claim
without the sanction OF the cortcs. TIE
protest declares that the govern ment's
precipltancy in settling the claim of the
United States is unconstitutional and
humilitating upon Spain, and that the
conduct of the United States in taking
advantage OF the Cuban insUrrection to
press this claim is an exhibition of an uu-
friendly disposition.
