Bicycling Not q Craze.

1t is an error to call bicycling a
"craze." 1t is something very different
from that. The simple fact is that the
human race has discovered new power
for its own use. From the earliest dawn
of civilization man has been experiment
ing with the whreel which he invented
to increase his powers of locomotion.
Finally he has hit upon device which
makes his own body the source of pow
or. He has placed wheels upon his feet,
and as a result finds his powers Of loco
motion multiplied by five and even ten.
Instead of walking five or ten miles
with more or less effort and fatigue, he
finds himself travelling 10, 30, 90 and
even 100 miles, according to his phys
ical vigor and experience, with little
perceptible fatigue and with most de-
lightful sense of animation. He has
become master of his new power, the
most valuable he has acquired since he
learned to walk, and it is henceforth a
part of his equipment for his struggle
with life. Is it probable that, having
once become possessor of power like
this, the human race is going to abandon
it? AS well might we expect it to aban-
don railways and gas and electricity

Now 1t Is "Bicycle Teeth

1t may be something peculiar to the
eastern climate, to the dust of the east
ern roads or to some popularity about
the eastern method of riding, but the
fact remains that down Philadelphia
way bicycle riders are in large numbers
affected by what dentist call ''receding
gums. The offices of the dentists, ac-
cording to Philadelphian's tale, are
overrun with wheelmen and wheel
women who want to know what is the
matter with their teeth. They complain
that they have more and more exposed
ivory surface for every day that they
live and that unless some remedy is
speedily found they will all either be
fang toothed or lose molars, incisors
and CANNES altogether.
The story goes that it took the dentists
long time to find out that the com.
plants came only from riders of the
wheel. They put two and two together
and have put peremptory stop to the
riding of wheels in the Quaker City un-
til they can evolve remedy for bicycle
teeth. Dentists laugh at the story, and
they say that there are no such things
as bicycle teeth in Philadelphia, and
they add that they don't believe they
ride fast enough in Philadelphia to in
jure any part of the anatomy. Kansas

FLOODS ON MARS.
The Periodical foundations and Their Eff

The Periodical foundations and Their Ef-
feet Upon the Planet.
The periodical inundation caused in
each Marian summer by the melting Of
the snow is distributed far and wide by
the network of canals, which constitutes
the principal mechanism-if it is not
the only one-by which water. and with
it organic life, can be diffused over the
planets surface. At this time some of
the canals appear to be bordered by q
darkish fringe, due, without doubt, to
some kind of vegetation. The canals Of
the surrounding region become at the
same time darker and broader and cover
wide areas. Things remain in this con-
dition until the moment when the polar
SHOWS are at their minimum. Melting
has ceased. The width of the canals
diminishes, the dark regions brighten
up, and the continents resume their yell
low color. This grand phenomenon
takes place over the whole region be-
tween Me pole and the sixtieth degree
of latitude and recurs each season. Over
the whole surface of the planet the sys-
tenn of canals is variable. When they
are indistinct and their contours become
uncertain and Ill defined, it seems likely
that the water in them is very low or
may have entirely disappeared.
Nothing is left of the canal, or, rather,
we see only yellowish streak, differ
ing very slightly from the surrounding
soil. In the months which precede and
in those which follow the great north
ern inundation, about the time of the
equinoxes, the canals become double.
In consequence of rapid change, which
is effected in few days, perhaps even
transformed in all its length into two
parallel lines, which run with the geo.
metrical precision of the tracks of rail-
way and follow exactly the direction of
the original canal. These new canals
have, like the original ones, widths of
from 80 to 100 kilometers, and even
more, and are separated by an interval
varying from so to 500 or 600 kilome-
tiers. We have here something besides
water-for instance, rapid vegetation,
produced by the moisture.
From the height of balloon the
prairies, which occupy the slopes on
each side of river, mark out the course
of the river, which itself appears like a
slender thread, hardly differing in color
from the green ribbon beside it. The
color of the double canals upon Mars
varies from black to red and is easily
distinguished from the yellow tint of
the continents. The space between them
is generally yellow, sometimes whitish.
The termination occurs also in the lakes,
which divide into two.-North Ameri-

Governor Culberson treats his suffer
ing constituents to a letter from Prince
Bismarck, in which his Serene" High
ness, like the Republican party, favors
bimetallism by international agree
ment. AS CulbersOn believes in the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1, regardless of
what foreign powers, potentates or
princes may think about it, one won
ders why he should have read such a
letter at political meeting, unless he
took as a compliment to himself the
princes statement that he did not wish
to insist on setting up his opinion
against that of experts.
James G.. Blaine, the greatest of
American statesmen, who favored free
trade with all of the Spanish republics
in order to effect their commercial an

have the authority of the clergy for
the fact that he is "our heroic young

made mistake in the use of the par
doning power in certain case at Aus

effect of his war against prize-fight-

fight is not against his morals; it is
against his incapacity to govern the.
