FOUR MILLION RIDERS.
To Supply Them There Are rlore
Than Two Hundred Factories.

I'm the city of New York alone there
are nearly 100000 bicycle riders, of
whom $4,000 are members of various
clubs
This little statement by a member of
the League of American Wheelmen
is amply sufficient basis upon which to
let the Imagination run riot in the mat
ter of figures But there is not the
slightest necessity for any fictitious
aid, for the facts speak for themselves
The league itself, with its strict ad-
mission rules, forms but a drop in the
ocean of bicyclists and bicycle devo-
tees. 1t has 10000 members in all
parts of the United States, and there
are nearly 4,000,000 riders in all
throughout the country.
This is only by way of a beginning
to the figures. To supply all these
wheels there are in this country at the
very least go manufacturers, without
counting the almost innumerable small
makers, who build machines from parts
purchased separately, or construct
wheels with much pains and ingenuity
under the most adverse conditions and
in very small quantities.
It has been estimated that the out
present season, amount in the aggre-
gate to 100000 machines.
SOME GREAT PRODUCERS.
Exact figures It is not possible to
obtain, of course, but the following are
not very far out Ahead of all others
in point of production is a Western
firm, which this year will turn out be-
tween 10000 and 10000 machines, after
eighteen different models. Another
company which probably comes next in
order of immense production will pro-
duce between 10000 and $4,000 ma
chimes. A third firm expects to reach
fully $4,000, in different models, while
still another is preparing to place %,
600 or $4,000 machines on the market
this year, and for a certain period. to
fulfill their engagements, will turn out
200 machines every day. Another con-
Germ will produce about p 900 in the
same period, another follows with 20.
600, one more with 10000 more, and the
eighth firm with 10000. This brings
the aggregated estimated output OF
these eight companies to the eXtraor-
binary sum of 100000 or more.
Grant that among the rest Of the
factories there is a production of 500,-
600 machines, and this viii give 40, ,00C
new bicycles to add to the existing
large number.
Another remarkable revolution has
occurred. Whereas a few years ago
q great many bicycles were imported
from England, and even from France
and Germany, to-day at least one of the
English manufacturing companies has
announced its intention of abandoning
the American field, and doubtless others
will follow More than this, and in
fnitely more important American bi-
cveles have been proved to be SO inn
measurably superior, in weight, per-
fection of mechanism and general ex-

A COUNTRY LANE.

Between the steep banks it winds along.
O'erhung with leafy hawthorn trees
From which in spring the thrush's song
Floats softly on the soft south breeze
There is the earliest primrose found
And modest purple yiolets grow
And trembling wind-ffowers star the
ground
And the humble ragged robins blow
There, too on golden summer ewes
The old folks like to stroll and talk
Or slowly, under whispering leaves
The self-abSorbed young lovers wall,
While, fresh as youthful hopes. unfnri
New growths about lingering feet
And tender fronds of fern unclirI
And all the balmy air is sweet
With mingled scents of thyme and n,nsb
And wilding-roses, passion pale.

Mix smoothly with tablespoonful

tablespoonful or two Of boiling
water, stirring briskly, and let it
cool for long time. 1t should be
very thick when removed, and 1t

The Electric PlOW.

The latest invention for farmers
is the electric plow. 1t is also war
ranted to turn over the sod in the
expeditions manner at less than
half the cost by present methods.
Instead of Harvesting up pair of
superannuated street car horses
and urging them to action by filling
the air with profanity and flying
clodS, the farmer will mount the
platform of the new electric ma.
chine, turn the switch and away
she will go, turning up the soil at Il
rate that will allow of his knocking
Off in The afternoon and attending
the picnic. Moreover, the changed
conditions under which the plowing
is done will no longer make ii
necessary for the farmer to go
about his plowing in high boots, to
keep the soil from getting under
his les, but he can plow in patent
feathers and wear his Sunday
clothes if he feels like it.
The electric era on the farm will
work wonders in many ways. The
electric harrow, the electric corn
planter and many other similar
electric devices will follow the plOw
and make his life one of luxurious
ease. He will no longer have to
get up in the night to feed the cows,
but will press an electric button
and turn over and take his morning
snooze, which is so conductive to
happiness, but which, under pres
ent conditions, he Is deprived Of.
He will have an electric mixer to
drain the lacteal fluid from the
cows, and he may churn the butter
by turning on the current, which
will also do the weeks washing
and get the children ready for
school. Everybody will want a
farm when these things come about,
for the farmer will have nothing
to do but read the agricultural
columns of the newspapers and
spend his money.-National Re-
corder.

MEASURING ELECTRIC CURRENT
Consumption Registered by Meter,
the Same as In the Use OF Gas.

When electricity came to be sold
it was necessary to measure il
commercially, To this task Edison
set himself in the course Of his de-
velopment Of that remarkable
series of inventions which gave Ia
the world perfect lighting system,
Electricity can be measured by the
work ii does, either chemically or
mechanically. Edi5On's chemical

that one umpere OF electricity will

ter is, in fact, small clectro-plat.
ing battery, through which a GER
tain proportion Of the current used
is carried the proportion being
accurately determined by the rel
ativc size Of the meter wires and
the shunts-with tde result that
one Of the two plates is decreased
and the other increased in weight,
according to the amount of current
consumed within the house. This
meter does not give visible rec
ord, which is an advantage of the
mechanical meters. OF these there
are many varieties, those most in
use in this country being the Thom-
SON Houston watt-meter and the
Westinghouse or Schallen berg
ampere. meter, both Of which are
small motors, driven faster or
slower as the demand for current
is greater or less, and communicate
ing their action to a train Of wheels
with diais like those of the gas
meter, so that they may be verified
by burning given number of
lamps for an hour and comparing
the dials at he beginning and end
of the time. The meter record is
taken usually once month, by the
supply companies, and bills are
based upon these records with as
much certainty rs though electric
ity were a visible thing.-R. r.

For High Kickers.

An old broncho buster gives the
following as a sure way to cure a
horse oi kicking:
"The way we fix kicking horse
Is to tie one Of h is forelegs with a
rope to the hind leg on the other
side. Then, as soon as he starts to
kick, he jerks his front leg off the
ground and goes down in a heap.
Two or three doses of that kind
will cure the worst case you can
fInd."--Farm News.
