4 writer in the -1Hlef'lc0U Cyct9St gives
the following reasons why, IN his opin-
ion, women become such excellent rid
ers. OF course, everyone will not agree
with his premises, nor with his conclu-
sions. but they are novel TO say the least:
1T is often remarked that in proper
tion 10 her general strength. as compared
with the strength of 3 man, the wheel
woman is better at long distances, hill
climbing aud so on than the wheelman.
Why shouldn't she be? Every normally
fashioned woman is natural born cy
clist. Nature, in planning the female
specification, surely anticipated The blcy-
Gle, but the mans makeup contains no
suggestion of cycling as belonging TO the
natural order OF things
''In the female the bones of the head,
arms and whole upper framework are
small and light, as compared with the
males, while the pelvic and thigh struct-
ure is larger and proportiouately heavier,
Clothed with flesh the figures present
the variant proportions more strjkinply.
The center OF gravity is lower in the
woman's body than in the mans. She
can therefore the better balance and con-
troll the machine. Her hips are broader
and heavier and her thighs larger and
shorter, affording concentrated strength
for cycling purposes. And to this Inn
mensely superior structural qualification
we must add her marvellous capacity for
endurance Relatively she is as much
superior 10 man at cycling as she is in
ferior at throwing baseball"

A Kansas fyero.

"A zephyr from the Topeka Breeze:-An-
other Kansas man has upheld the reputa-
tion OF the state for nerve. This time it
was gentleman named Abeles, from But
Ter county. who, with the usual Kansas
modesty. takes little credit to himself
This Kansas man was visiting at the sea
shore, Staten Island, where the huge bal
loon, which was used for pleasure ex-
cursionS at the worlds fair. is now an
chored. The balloon was anchored by a
huge cable. A party of visitors, including
the Butler county man, were making the
ascent to the end of the rope when it
suddenly tore loose and sailed into the
upper atmosphere at the rate of about a
mile a minute and started out to sea.
The worst of the business was that the
valve rope was not within reach Of the
people In the basket. It was swinging
about in the wind from the top Of the
bag. Right here was displayed the Kan
saS nerve Mr.. AbeleS slipped off his
sheos and, while the balloon was shootin g
through space about five miles high,
climbed UP the netting to the top OF the
bag. caught the valve cord and climbed
back into the basket and saved the lives
of the company. Ii is not probable that
all Kansas men would have displayed an
equal amount Of nerve, but 1t is a fact
that the man who has experienced all the
vicissitudes Of Kansas Efe is liable to be
prepared to face with calmness any sort
Of an emergency. Other men would be-
come paralyzed with fear but the Kansas
man takes in the situation, kicks off his
shoes and coons 1t up the network which
covers the bag of gas until he catches the
valve rope. If time had not been pre-
cious and the atmosphere at the heighth
of five miles trifie chilly, he would have
10 doubt seated himself calmly On the top
of the balloon and taken a survey of the
fleeing earth.

A Tragic Custom.

A feature of every dead cars funeral Is
the appearance OF two men in medieval
armor, one mounted and the other on
foot. The mounted knight wears An ar
NOR of FURNISHED gold. and visor up. He
symbolizes Life.
The knight on foot wears an armor Of
coal-black steel. His visor is closed ard
he bears a drawn sword. two-handed and
shrouded in Grape. He symbohzes Death.
The weight of these suits may be i'm
agined when ii is remembered that a
fallen knight had usually TO wait to be
lifted. it being impossible to raise the
weight Of his own armor The most
powerful men Of the imperial guard are
selected TO wear the symbolic suits, there
fore. but on every occasion the burden of
the knight on foot has proved beyond
human endurance The soldier who
served at the obsequies of Nicholas l. fell
dead of exhaustion on reaching the church
of SIS. Peter and Paul, where the royal
mansoleum is.
At the funeral OF his successor, Alex
ander H., the unfortunate black knight

Palace, and died that night at the hos
pital. whittier he was borne.
