Masonry Contract.

The Waterbury Republican says of
the recent awarding of contracts made
in that city for the construction of the
masonry abutments for the Turner &
Smith bridge over the Naugatuck river
to replace the structure which was
washed away during one of the recent
floods. The bids were as follows:
Edward McManus, s9,110
George S. Chatfield, sS,136.
C. w. BlakesIee & Sons (New HAVEN,
$7,74s.50. ....
Chatfield & Chatfield, s9,S61.
John w. Gaffney & Co., s9,11S.
The contract was awarded to Blakes-
lee & Sons, as they were the lowest
bidders. 1t is said that one reason why
their bid was lower than other bidders
was that they have stone already pre-
pared which they can use in the abut-
ments. The contract will be signed
within three days. 1t will call for the
completion of the contract not later
than June q. A forfeit provision, uu-
der which the contractors agree to pay
the town S25 for each day that the con-
tract remains uncompleted after the
expiration of the time limit, will be in
serted. The selectmen consider the
bids very satisfactory.

BICYCLES,
How Women should Adjust Their Sad
dies for Comfort and Speed.

European Edition y. Y. Herald.
NJ. George PaQuet, a young mechanical
draughtsman. claims just to have invent
ed a system OF motion whereby the chain
is done away with In all cycles.
He guarantees hat seven metres can
be developed with less enort on the
''Endiablee" (such is the name NJ. Paquet
has given his chainless bicycle than is
required to develop i've metres by means
Of the ordinary chain.
The principle OF motion in 'rEndiablee"
consists OF an oyoid wheel having small
interior rollers. which fit into the teeth
OF a pinion, mounted upon the axle. The
ovold wheel forms but one piece with the
lever. which is guided by a roller and
mounted upon the axle OF the crank.
BY the above description one can easily
understand that when you turn the
crank II draws the lever. which in its
motion Of os~ciilating and sliding upon
the roller makes the ovOid wheel go
around the pinion. the teeth of which
bite between the int arior rollers of the
oyoid wheel and thereby propel the driv-
ing wheel.
