Many Fatal a ~oidcnts because Riders DO

Head on collisions between cyclists are
sntirely uncallod for. Yet they occur
frequently and arc sometimes attended
with very serious results. A number Of
fatal mishaps of the kind are on record.
A year ago bright young man was
killed in Hartford through snch col
lision. A few days ago tandem rider
was killed in Boston as q result Of the
double machine crashing into the wheel
of single rider, and during the past
year the newspapers have contained GER
tainly dozen accounts Of similarly ia
tai accidents. 1t is curious fact that
these collisions seem to be all brought
about in the same way. The two riders
are approaching each other rapidly from
opposite directions on the same side Of
the road chosen because Of its special ex-
cellence.
One rider, thinking perhaps that is
would be the easier to pass on the left,
turns TO tho left and the other rider at
the same instant reaches the Same con-
clusion regarding the right, and tuTns
in that direction. The machines are
now, of course, headed directly for each !

New South wales Assembly Votes
$4,000 Year Subsidy.

New South wales Assembly votes
$4,000 n Year Subsidy.
In the Legislative Assembly of
New South Wales on December
IS, Mr.. Cook moved, in COM
mittee, that the House approves
of the continuation of a subsidy
at rate not exceeding 100000
per annum for three years, from
May, 1896, toward the monthly
steam service between Sydney and
Vancouver, by Mr.. James Hud-
dart. He said that the company
had already showed it's fit ess to
live. Since the Inauguration of
the service, the Government had
paid G25 900 in subsidy, while
the company had spent no less
than G166, 5000 in the port of
Sydney. Besides this, the Gov
eminent received about $4,000 a
year in the shape of postage, so
that the actual amount paid year
ly was not more than $4,000, and
this only represented a bare
trading profit to the company.
After discussion, the motion
was agreed to on the voices.

Great surprise TO the COlOutais AZ

A Melbourne dispatch to the
Sydney Daily Telegraph, giving
an account Of n cycling carnival
at that place on December Il,
says:
Zimmerman, who for some years
past held the proud position of
champion cyclist of the world,
made his first appearance in Mel.
bourne at the Exhibition cycling
track on Saturday, with theisek-'
traordinary result that he was
beaten in both races for which he
had entered. This is remark
able occurrence, and one which
the champion has rarely, if ever,
experienced at any meeting since
he rose to the pinnacle of his
cycling fame, and it excited more
than usual enthusiasm. thinner
man admitted being in the best of
form and health, so that in cast
ing about for any explanation Of
his defeat, the only one that can
be found is that he was unaccus-
toned to the small Exhibition
track, whereas his victors had the
advantage of being more acquaint-
ed with its awkward corners.
Pither's victory was generally re-
garded as the outcome of one of
the best races ever ridden on an
Australian track. 1t was more
creditable from the fact that the
rider was suffering considerable
pain from a burnt arm, which was
covered in bandages. In both the
races in which the champion was
defeated the enthusiasm of the
crowd knew no bounds. Pither
was dragged of his machine and
carried shoulder high to the paw
lion, and the same thing would
have beer done to Don Walker
had he not escaped quickly to his
dressing.ropm.

Upon experiment with two army coats,
| a red and a blue it was found that the
| dogs either did distinguish color or were
| able to tell the coat from the scent of the
| cloth.
Two perfectly new army coats were laId
side by side and two intelligent St. Ber-
nards taught to bring the one and leave
the other. Time and time again they re-
sponded perfectly to their orders to
''seekv'
Other coats were then brought in and
mixed together. The dogs had been taught
to Seek" the red coats and they picked
them out with wonderful rapidly from

sibly they might be taught afterwards to
get the wounded enemy. But neither dogs
nor army would have time to carry hu-
Aldllily quite SO Tar.
On the road these dogs are abundantIy
able TO bear the marches. Like all dogs,
they travel hundreds OF miles a day and
the trouble would be to restrain them to
a walk instead of the inevitable dog-trot.
As burden-bearers they are supreme be-
ing easily trained to harness, and in en-
dUrance they are equal to the Arctic dogs,
without which neither Peary nor Nansen
could hope to make an Arctic journey.
Perhaps they may be impressed into am
bulance use if the horses are needed. AS
carriers as watchmen, as surgeons as
sistants they are unequaled even by man.
They have the instinct to lick the pulse
and temples and coax back life.
A dog is a strange creature. He has
certain self-appointed tasks which he full
fills, though ne die doing his work. One
OF these is the task of guarding his mas
ter. An ambulance dog is as good
watch dog as Fido upon the door-mat.
He barks at suspicious figure, whines at
a sound, shifts at a rustic, and his pres
ence at night when the men are sleeping

something too comforting for words
