Introducing Tragedy and q New Way to
Keep Mrrderers.
A man whom we find prowling about
the house offers helping hand. AS we
move away E2echiel says: "You saw that
man. Flo 10 to go to prison soon. He has
killed his brother, the poor follow. The
case is typical OF the temper of these peo-
pie. This man Carlos had brother Mig
uel, who one morning lately amused him
self by throwing stones at Carlos dog.
what Miguel was doing and told him to
stop. Miguel refused to do so, adding that
if his brother did not go back to the house
and stop talking he would throw stones at
him, too, whcruupcn Carlos went back to
the house, got his gun, and, coming again
to tho doorstep, shot his brother and killed
him.
I ask Ezoehiel: "What made Miguel
torment the dog9 Had he been bitten by
him?" Ezcehiel says: "No, think not;
but you sec, Miguel had largo family of
daughters. You know the proverb, Tres
hijas una madre, quatre diabos para I'm
padre. Three daughters and mother
four devils for the father" Why is the
man freep' 1 ask. He replied; well,
they'll take him to prison when his trial
comes on in q few months" Aren't
they afraid he will run away in the mean
time?" "No; where do you want him to
rum He can't hide in the Slerras, for the
Guardas will find him easily. He can't
take a train and go anywhere, for he has
never beon on the cars in his life any more
than have, and he wouldn't know where
to go"
Inquired what the penalty for such an
offense was likely to be.
The old man replied: II don't know;

elCYClE POSSIBILITIES.
The Mechanical Limitations Of tho Wheel
About Reached.

Here we reach the domain Of speculation.
The bicycle has changed many times In it's
form and always for the better Each form
has taken on its multitude of improve
Inents, and no part of the medern wheel
has escaped the ingenuity of the mechanic
in his aim to secure better material,
stronger connections, lighter weight, great
cr speed, grace of design and comfort to
the rider Every day is dny OF new rec
orts and of the revealment of new posi-
blities. Four hundred and odd miles for
single day, 80 miles in an hour, 100
miles in hours and ~ minutes, single
milo in ono minute and-but statement
of the seconds here would be true only for
the week in which it was written.
Six years ago one Of the best informed
and most progressive of our cycling au-
thorities, Mr.. F. p. Prial, editor of The
Wheel, writing Of the safety bicycle OF
that day, mentioned the drawbacks Of the
pneumatic tire as being its large size and
the necessity of replenishing the air to keep
1t properly distended" He advised that
the ideal safety should not be geared too
high but only to 81 or 81 inches, except
in tho case Of strong riders. The gearing
Of the mans wheel of today is from o.
Inches upward, gearing of 10 inches be-
ing about the average and 80 not at all
uncommon, while the womans wheel Of
today, when geared at 60, Is easily propelled
by new and inexperienced riders. Saddles,
tires, frames, bearings, handle bars, cranks,
spokos and rims have been lightened, SIM
pli1ed, improved and from year to year,
made to displace the cruder product Of the
year before
Where is the limit No man can tell
but 80 far as it relates to tho common pedo-
motive bicycle Of today the practical limit
would sccm to be not far distant. A year
or two hence will probably witness the in
PRODUCTION Of apractical motor bicycle and
the more general adoption of motor car
riagcs in certain parts of the country wherO
the roads have been improved. Meanwhile
the bicycle now in common use will hold
its way, with such Improvements In detail
and perhaps In form as will add to Its use-
fulness and to the comfort, convenience
and security Of the rider. --1saac B. Potter
