Christy has tested the model recently
and says that 1t will run away from
the ordinary safety.
In his application for patent on
his invention Mr.. Christy makes the
following claims and statements:
The primary object of this inven-
ton Is 10 construct wheels for any
desired use and reduce the FRACTIONAL
resistance of the bearings to a mimi
mum and at the same time reduce the
weight.
The second object Is to so arrange
the several parts incident to the con-
structlon that the same may he rigid
10 the vertical and horizontal strains.
The third object is to so construct
and arrange all parts relative to one
another that the maximum strength OF
such parts may be attained and retain
their relative positions regardless of
all undue strains that may be applied.
The fourth object Is to construct a
wheel that may be of easy draught.

wheel. The spider, having three pull
leys, is fixed rigid with tine framework
Of the front whee.. which acts rs the
axle and the inner rim the hub. The
pressure being forward of the center
upon the inner rim or hub, gives the
advantage of the leverage over the
fulcrum, and, the inventor declares,
email les the rider to propel his bicycle
much easier and at greater speed than
can be attained ON the ordinary ma
chime.

glory Of 1t ard as an aid to his social
aspirations. 1t costs a world OF
money to keep the big steamer Ala
lanta in commission. Jay Gould
spent $4,000 in building and equip
ping her. but the running expense
was so great that the little Wharf,
kept her tied up at dock, with a
Waterman on board most of the time.
She requires a crew of forty men ana

1t requires a large-sized bank ac-
count to handle big sloop of this
size in racing trim. In stiff wind
the strength OF thirty-five men is
needed to haul in the 1oo-foot boom

Mr.. Gould got more genuine pleas

himself to his schooner. the Hide

handle a 100-foot schooner like the
Hildegarde comfortably, and for 500

BICYCLE RUNS ALONE.
Invention of st. Louis Man and
What He Says Ii VIII Do.

Down in ST. Louis ma n~med
Christy has invented a wheel which,
he and his friends claim, will almost
rim itself. They do not hesitate to
say that they have the biggest thing
on ice,' and if the invention will do
tionize the bicycle business. In the
ordinary safety of today the weight
Of the rider comes ON the wheel hubs.
Mr.. Christy's contrivance throws the
weight ahead of the hub or center Of
the front wheel. That weight acts-as
a pressure in the direction in which
1t lies, Of course, and ON level ground
Mr.. ChHistys bicycle, 1t is said, will
practically run alone. In making this
new machine Il Will be necessary. Of
weight to The front wheel than goes
there in ordinary safeties, but that
can be done very easily by putting
the saddle farther forward.
Mr. Christy's bicycle has been shown
to a few Chicago manufacturers, and
those who have examined 1t want tire
privilege Of making thousands more
Just like it.
"In my bicycle" says Mr.. Chrfsty,
1--WE have a weight and therefore a
pressure or force in front Of the center
Of the wheel. Being In front 81 the
vince. that weight Is consequently not
one to he overcome, but is propelling
force. The rider Is therefore able to
move the bicycle much easier and with
less energy or power. BY gearing the
rear or sprocket wheel higher he can
gain from six to twelve inches In
speed with the same force in each rev.
olution of the pedals; that Is, the rider
propels the bicycle with the same en-.
ergy that Is required to run other bt
cycles geared from six to twelve
inches lower. 1t has been admitted
by good mechanics that | can gain
several inches in speed. Experts who

Mad Animal Scare This Morning o
the Market.

Mad Animal Scare This Morning at
the Market.
There was a mad dog scare at the o
street market this morning about o'clock
and one boy was badly bitten. His name
is Charles Sauberlich, and he is twelve
years old He lives near Biadensburg. and
this morning he was in market with his
father, who is a gardener. The supposed
mad dog came along between the wagons
and was not noticed by ahy one until he
snapped at the boy and closed his teeth
on the latter's leg. Then the animal made
an attempt to bite the boys father. but
the latter managed to get out of the dogs
way and was not injured. From the mar
ket the animal went along o street, going
west and it was reported later in the
morning that it had bitten another person.
Driver Richmond Of the police ambulance
drove to the market and conveyed the boy
to the Emergency Hospital While the
uound in itself was only small one the
boy seemed to be in intense pain. The
physicians at the hospital dressed the
wound and the boy was sent to Freed
mans Hospital. where he will remain un-
til the extent of the injury can be def
nitely ascertained.
Various descriptions Of the animal are
given and the police have been notified to
be on the death watch, and it is possible
that some innocent stray dog will be kill
ed before night. One of the marketmen
who saw the dog says 1t is part hound, and
has number of white spots on its body.
The animals appearance indicated that
1t had not seen food for many days, and its
conduct, some Of the marketmen think, is
conclusive evidence that IT was mad. Some
uneasiness was caused about the market
by the incident, and an Intellectual effort
WAS made to overtake the dog for the
purpose of ending its life. But it went too
fast for its pursuers and soon got out Of
sight.

animals and reptiles for menagerie pur-
poses. Briefly, it is accomplished by
means Of labyrinthian tangle, embracing
sixty square feet Of ground. Ths labyrinth
is made by joining together, end on end,
pieces of mating. This web is eight feet
high usually. and placed so that the op-
posing wallis will be two feet apart. Ali
sorts of criss-cross and divergirg combina-
lions are made with the matting-it Is sup
ported here and there by stakes-maldng

1.-The tap is baited with a live pig, which
is placed in a pen in the center Of the
labyrinth. By and by along comes the boa
constructor. 1t Is easy enough to get in.
He scents the prey; he is hungry; the pig
is devoured, ard there is where the boa
constructor Genes to grief. For hours he
tries to release himself from the tortuous
passages which rise about him. but finally
he grows tired end stretches out for nap.
Then Is our time. We enter the labyrinth
