any other finger, but never with the

tration fully explains the style of the
wheel and the manner of operating it.
The wheel in which the rider sits is ten
feet tall, and the guiding wheel in front
is about the size of the wheel of all or
binary safety. The tire Of the big
wheel is of rubber three inches thick.
Weakley, the inventor of tho Sat
racycle," is so poor that he was unable
to purchase new material with which
to build his first wheel, the machine
shown in the illustration. and Oh which
he has raced with the wind, being con-
structed entirely of scraps that Weak
lep picked up in the streets and along
the railroad tracks. He believes that
his "satracycle" is destined to become
very popular among professional wheel
men, and hopes before long to interest
some one with him in its manufacture.
The first test machine is so con-
structed that it can be easily taken
apart, and it is almost as easily put to-
gether again.
The pedal movement is not much diff
ferent from the ordinary wheel, except
that the necessities of gravity require
the seat On the axle, and the pedals
must therefore be placed below it.

NEW FIRE FIGHTER.
A Great "Water~ToWer Battery"
Invented.

a Great "Water~ToWer Battery"
Invented.
The fire department of San Francisco
has acquired machine for fighting
, 1.-The fiend" that places it at the head of
the departm entS of the world. A water
tower battery" its inventor calls it, and
with it sixteen tons of water per min
ute can be thrown into burning build
ing.
The battery was invented by FL. Fl.
Gorter, department machinist, and has
been satisfactorily tested. 1t will be
used hereafter for flooding the lower
stories of buildings, and will no doubt
be adopted by fire departments through
out the country.
The battery, whose principal parts
are spherical chamber about ten inches
in diameter and a nozzle two or three
feet long, is attached to the top OF pipe
which rises from vertical water reser-
yoir, fed by four engines. The reservoir
is two feet six inches square, with an
air chamber Oh top to steady the flow of
water. The volume of water that rises
from it into the pipe and from the pipe
into the battery is contracted into
stream five inches in diameter at the
elbow, and is contracted to three inches
in the nozzle. The battery, it is esti-
mated, Will discharge 1900 gallons, or
sixteen tons. Of water every minute
that is. 1,5O0 gallons more than can be
discharged through the nozzle that has
been used on the top of the tower,
The solid stream of water cast by the
battery at the first test was thrown a
distance of 293 feet with ninety pounds
pressure on the water chamber. Two
dozen men could not control such
stream issuing through common hose,
but a child could direct and control it
with the battery.
That three-inch stream thrown by
the battery was the largest body of
water every cast by a fire engine in
San Francisco. A stream 23s inches
in diameter was thrown 20 feet furth er

The comic papers have lots Of fun
with the woman who buys things for
her husband. She is not limited to the
holiday season, but runs all the year
round, like the sea bathing-Suit pictures
in Truth. She is represented as squan-
dering large sums of money. l have
written this sort of thing myself, and L

matter of fact. don't believe these
stories. anyway. It's my opinion that
the level-headed man voluntarily per
mits his wife to DO the buying, and the
other fellow, in these grasping days,
hasn't anything TO buy with.
A woman will go into ten stores and
spend $40 while man will go into one
store and spend SO, after which he will
accuse his wife of the shopping habit. 1t
will be found almost every time that the
woman has obtained the greatest
amount for her money, for she at least
has got the satisfaction of feeling ILL
will towards nine shopkeepers before
the purchase and one afterwards, while
the man, as rule, has only the frlendli-
est feeling toward the person who has
taken his money. In order to Illustrate
how much woman can get for very

purchased to promote my comfort and

Among these may be numbered some
exceedingly stylish coats composed
of velvet of the darkest shades.
One especially attractive was COM
posed of deep red, trimmed richly
with 'chinchilla" fur. The later style
of coat is being made very considerably
shorter than those made a month ago,
but they are not even yet as short as
they will be eventually towards the
spring. In saying that the coats are
worn short do not mean to infer that
the long ones are old fashioned, not
at all; it is simply optional, and
one is Just as fashionable as the
other. Happy, stylish Paris is tired
of tie fashion in sleeves, and CAM

ladies of this gay city have made

and commence again at the early Vic

shoulders, low shoulders and outward
shoulders, and now the putfs are to be

For women who are the happy pos

He, too, looked comfortable and happy,

when Maude asked me to sit down in

There was an uncertain and treacherous
