Mr.. Harry j. Lawson, at dinner given
to him in recognition of his claim to be
considered the inventor of the modern rear
driving safety bicycle, and, Therefore, "a
revolutionizer of cycle construction, men
toned the interesting fact that q careful
estimate places the annual output Of these
machines at over 1000, 900 and the money
spent upon them Mt over go, 900, 900.
There can be no question that the present
popularity of cycling is due to the far
greater ease and speed with which modern
improvements, such as the introduction oil
the chain gear, enable them to be propelled.
Only a few years ago it would have
seemed impossible to do 300 miles between
one midnight and another but 400 miles
in that space Of time have come to be CON
sidered no very extraordinary feat for
good rider, and Frencbman, NJ. Hurct,
has done the amazing distance OF 5lo
miles within that time. At first there was
disposition in English cycling circles to
throw doubts upon the genuinencss of this
stupendous record, but impartial inquiries
OH the spot seem to leave no doubt that
the feat was honestly accomplished. BIZ
cycling News now acknowledges that tho
figure is correct, and adds a compliment
to the sportsmanlikc character of French
cyclists.-Isondon News.

1t is common error to think of science
as opposed to all the poetry of life and
scientists as the most cold and matter of
fact men. In reality tho true scientist is
almost always u poet at heart, and the
greater he is tho moro certain is he to DO a
pure enthusiast and of a deeply rcycront
spirit keplar, eXclaiming in the moment
of his great discovery, so God, I think
thy thoughts after :hecl" is a type of this.
Professor Farrar, who occupied the
chair of Material philosophy at Harvard
university tNo-thirds of IA century ago,
was a man possessed of this enthusiasm
for his worh, and was beloved by his
pupils whom he inspired with something
of his own spirit.
One day tue class entered the lecture
room and found the professor walking
backward and forward, with kindled eye
and working face, holding ball in his
hand. Presently he stopped and confront
cd the clas2 and exclaimed, suiting the
action to the word:
Il toss this ball into the air; the earth
rises up to meet it and the stars bow
down to do 1t reverence"
Probably no member of the class WHO
heard these words ever forgot their abso-
lutcly accurate lcsson-that action and re
action are equal; that the apple which
falls to the earth at the same time draws
the earth to itself in the exact ratio Of
their relative weight, and disturbs even
the course OF the planets and stars. Still
less could they forget the grandeur and
unity so wildly expressed in that brief
imagery. -Youth's Companion.

the country. In his estimate there have
been 90 per cent more amateur clubs this
season than ever before in America in for
mcr years. His statement is confirmed by
a firm in Philadelphia which manufac-
turcs most of the balls used on the dia-
mond That firm has been compelled to
increase its force of employees and work
overtime besides in order to supply the
trade Il condition of affairs which has
never before confronted it.
There is no doubt that baseball is grow
ing, spreading out aad becoming more
firmly rooted every year Seventy-three
thousand people saw the League games on
Labor day in five cities. That was some
thing unprecedented in the history Of the
sport. Baseball is u clean, honest sport. 1t
is Il sport which in its amateur form has
been played by nearly every man in this
country. 1t reaches the heart, stirs the
blood and makes boys of us all even after
gray hairs come with advancing years.

NEW QUESTION PRESENTED
In tho Suit Pending Against the Bell Tele.
phone Company.

Warrington, sept, 26.-Thc case of the
United States VS.. the Bell Telephone Co f,
involving the validity Of the Berlincr
ratcnt Is sued in 1892, was dookcted in
the supreme court yesterday, on appeal
from the court Of appeals for the first
circuit
This Is the case brought by the United
States to cancel the patent on the ground
first that its issue was void, the same claim
having been covered by patent issued 10
years earlier and, second, that the
patentecs had forfeited their rights to o
patent by permitting its application to
sleep for many years. In the circuit court
Judgment was given in favor OF the United
States. but this was reversed in the court
of appeals aud tho patent sustained.
The government now appeals from that
Judgment. Besides the question of the
validity of tho patents the case presents a
legal proposition Of great Importance
which the decision of the supreme court of
the United States will settle, viz. Can

PASSING OF THE HORSE.
The Days of Our Equine Friend Rapidly
Nearing an End.

The wonderful Development of natural
| forces, rs applied to the uses of man, that
is going on so rapidly and relcntlessly
| about us, causes many changes in the econ
| Cny of civilization. In no direction per-
| hapS Is this more manifest than in the dis
| placement of the horse. Any careful oh.
| server will note the quiet but great change
| that has taken place during the last few
| years, in relation to the practical uses of
| this animal-so~long the ever necessary
servant of man. 1t is clearly apparent that
| the day of the horse is about ut an end.
For some time to come u comparatively
few may he used for convenience or as u
luxury, but eventually, like tho candle
which we now and then -, he will prac-
tically pass out of sight. y licences of this
may be seen upon every nand. We hear
the owners ot livery stables bitterly COM
planning of the great falling Off in their
business. This is especially true in tho
country, where formerly the young men
We're wont to take their best girls out for
q drive, or went in parties by themselves
to fayorite resorts
Now all this is changed. Bicycle parties
are the popular feature everywhere In
Chicago recently there were 3, 900 wheel
men in parade line, and it is estimated
that in that city alone there are fully
100 600 cycle riders. Multiply this fact by
the country at large and ono can gain
some idea of the present use of the bicycle
as "a means of transportation. Some may
say that the present bicycle boom is but II
passing craze. Any bicycle rider who has
felt the exhilarating and health giving re-
suits of cycle exercise will soon dispose Of
such u supposition. No, the cycle will stay.
Progression is the law and events do not
move backward. Still greater improve
mcnts are in store for the wheel and moro
extended use win follow.
The electric car has forever banished tho
horse car even i'll the smaller towns of re-
mote civilization. Many private teams
that wero formerly kept for family uso
have been disposed of by their owners,
some through timidity in consequence OF
the great danger in private driving among
the electric cars and bicycles and many be-
cause of the advantages from the numer-
Gus trolley and cable lines, or the prefer
encc of the younger members of tho family
for II wheel over a horse

THE OLDEST BOOK ON RECORD.
A Volume In the Paris Library Which
Antedates Christianity Thirty Centuries.

The Charleston News and Courier calls
attention to the fact that probably the old.
est book in the world is the Papyrus
Prisso, one of the treasured possessions
of the great National library in Paris.
This document was found by Prsso in
tomb in Thcbcs, which contained also
mummy of tho first Thcban dynasty This
circumstance alone shows that the book
certainly dates back 25 centuries before
Christ, and an examination shows that it
really belongs to u much earlier ago
namely, the time of King ASA. Tho title
reads, "Iniunctions of tho Project Ptah-
Hotcp, Who Lived In the Time OF ASA, the
King of tho North and the South"
Chronology places this ASA Mt about
1850 b. c., and to this age it would then
seem that this book belongs. 1t is divided
into A chapters and is written in hicratio
rhythmic language. 1t directs its words to
the higher classes and contains for these
series of maxims ana sayings. 1t advises
those in authority to show i'll all their do
ings the characteristics of perfect man
The ideal of the high official should he
wisdom and science, and these guides he
should heed. He is further not TO abuse
his power, is to be modest and moderate,
for only in this way can he secure the good
opinion of future generations. Tho author
tells us that no had grown to be 10 years
of age and had attained to all the honors
and favors which Egyptian royalty could
bestow

A RISKY BUSINESS.
The Habit Indians Have of Sewing the
Mps of the Deadly Cobras.
O. p. CAYLoR.

A large cobra de capello was sent home
several years ago to Sir Joseph Fayrer,
who wanted n supply of venom for anaiy-
sis 1t bit she spoon repeatedly without
yielding any, and upon examination was
found to have none to yield, not only its
fangs but the poisonous glands having
been extirpatcd A protective operation
still more cruel is sometimes practicod by
noviccs in the art of charming and con
sists of securing the mouth with a stitch
of silk passed through the lips in front.
To perform this the poor beasts head Is
held tightly pressed to the ground by q
short stick On which the foot rests, while
the other foot restraints the writing body,
leaving both hands at liberty for the nee
die. Eleven apparently healthy cobras
were on one occasion received at the Lon
don geological gardens. They refused to
feed and grow thin. When one died it was
discovered that its mouth was sewn up
with stitches so fine rs to be invisible to
any but tho closest scrutiny. The rest Of
them did well ON being restored to thoi'
normal condition.
In connection with this subject may
mention thai n rattlesnake was sent to mo
from UP tho country when l was in Deme
rara, with the history that it had killed %
cody on ono II the plantations. 1t had
been badly injured about the spine, proba
bly, in capture, so that on reaching mo il
was not only '1ead, but decomposed, and
was not able 20 make any very complete
dissection, buS l found that its lips were
tied togethcY with stitchcs-obviously the
effort of an Impractical hand, since tho
work was vary coarse.
This had apparently been preceded by
an unsuccessful attempt to extract the
long, crectilc. ncedlolillo fangs, for one of
these was twi stcd half round with its boIy
base and Lad penetrated the lower lip
when the jaws We're forcibly closed. 1t is
hardly possible that the duct was not oc-
cluded, but eaough venom must have re-
maincd within the tube Of the tiny, deli
cate syringe TO intlict fatal scratch.-Ex-
