The Bicycle q Miracle

1t seems absolutely impossible that
a wheel 80 inches in diameter, with a
wood rim and wire spokes, so light
that the whole structure weighs only
20 ounces, should sustain without dis
toration the weight of four men stand
ing on its side, with supports at four
points only under the rim, and no hub
support whatever.
1t also seems incredible that cycle
capable of carrying man of 100 or
IT'S pounds in weight can be made so
light that the structure weighs less
than nine pounds. Yet this has been
done; even at the roadster weight of
~ or "a pounds, the cycle carries a
greater load with safety than has ever
been put on any other vehicle.
The influence of the cycle on social
life is already great, and will probably
constantly extend, as it provides an
outdoor sport and amusement for
women which did not previously exist
in any form in America. American
women are not walkers but the cycle
is perhaps even better suited to wo-
mans use than mans and seems des-
tined to an outdoor element to the life
of woman the world over which
was not possible without the "winged
wheel"
The miracle of the bicycle lies in
the birth, death and resurrection in
its incredible load-bearing power in
proportion to weight; in its displace-
ment of the horse as means of pleas
ure, and in the selection of it's me-
chanical details of compressed air sup
port, tubular framing and chain driv-
ing.
All of these are details often before
introd uced in machines, but never be-
fore permanently retained. That
these cast-offs are nndeniable power
savers is convincingly proved by their
continued use under human muscle
driving power.
Finally, the one great achievement
OF the bicycle is to increase the hu-
man powers of locomotion So that the
slow-footed man is made one of swift

neering Magazine.

BLOOMERS AND BICYCLES.

In ballet called Venus" per

bicyclists arrayed in costumes which
are less than rational"
BICYCLES are said TO have seriously
affected the sale of pianos in England.
The reason is that when girl is asked
to choose between the two for pres

JAPANESE postmen whose routes

local manufacturers, who have appro-
priated improvements from both Brit

SEVERAL bicycling girls at Coldwatcr,
Mich, have outgrown the bloomcr
stage, according to a Detroit newspa-
per, and now ride in the streets and
suburbs wearing complete masculine
wheel coscumcs-lSnicl1crbo golf
stockings and short jackets.
NEARLY 100000 is the amount OBJ
tanned from the bicycle tax this year
by the French government, the number
of machines declared being just under
100000. They are well spread over the
whole country, since Paris and the De-
partme1t of the Seine return 3S, 900, less
than fifth of the total.
A FASHIONABLE tailor of New York,
who makes garments for those who can
afford to pay his prices, predicts that
the donning of knickerbocl1ers by

the old custom of wearing knee

the winter bouquet. Now it is almost
a rarity. Then there are several colors
of acroclinums, very graceful in out
line. The amobiums, aelichrysum or
eternal flowers, the rhodanthes, xeran-
themums or straw flowers, all were
common garden plants few years ago.
Drying these flowers consists simply
in cutting at the proper time, which is
when in full bloom and before seeds
have formed. Where practicable the
whole plant may be cut or pulled and
hung bottom up in a partially darkened
room or shed. Usually, however, the
flowers come out at different times
and must be cut as ready, leaving
on as much stem as possible,
Tie in punches and hang up. The
immortelles imported in such guam.
titles from France and Germany,
originally yellow, but now to be
had in various colors, are charming
herbaceous plants. Unfortunately they
are not hardy with us. There are,
however, several natives of the same
genus, guaphaliums, in English, cud-
weed or common everlasting, which
may be preserved in similar manner.
There are also the purple cudweeds
and the pearly everlastings, often
found in dry, gravelly or sandy soils,
which may be had for the gathering.
All the work necessary is to hang up
in the spare room until the whole col
lection is harvested or the material is
wanted for making the winter bou-
quet.
As flowers in themselves will have
somewhat stiff appearance alone,
dried grasses of various kinds will be
found very useful. Hang bottom up
to dry, as directed for flowers, for the
reason that all plants when first cut
wilt and are unable to hold their parts
erect. They soon become rigid and
when fully dried have quite natural
appearance.
If flowers are allowed to even par
TALLY ripen seed, they will fall to
pieces when taken into warm room
Among the best grasses are foxtail,
cat-tails, bents, feather grass and nu-
mcrous marsh grasses and sedges
The many brizas or quaking grasses
are all well known. Even wheat, rye
and oats, if collected early enough, are
quite desirable, as are also number of
summer grasses.-Edgar Sanders, in
Farm and Home.
