An examination of the patent Office
records for the quarter ended Septem-
Der 80 is interesting because of the nu-
merous patents on bicycle improve
ments that have been granted. The
number of patents issued to citizens of
the United States for this class of in
ventions exceeds the number issued in
the previous three weeks by nearly
300, and for the corresponding period
last year by over 500.
The total number of applications re-
ceived which related in some way to
cycling was HOO. Tires, pneumatic
and otherwise, come first, and, with
the various odds and ends of improve
ments relating to construction, cover
ing, initiating, etc, the total number
of applications ON tires alone was $50.
Then come 200 applications under
general construction" Brakes come

Taken all in all, two-thirds of the

Anybody at all familiar with the work
ings of the patent office is familiar with
the disease jestingly termed the pat
ent fever" It aiiiicts both sexes and
all conditions of life, and the symptoms
manifest themselves by an insane de-

there's millions in it,
However, many valuable bicycle i'm
provements have been made this sea
son. OF special note are the spring
motors for assisting in riding up Hill,
the devices for lessening jar and strain,
and the chainless wheel. Ice bicycles,
too, have received their share of at
tention, but it is doubtful if they are
practical enough to become popular
this winter. Valuable inventions for
improving the bicycle are not over
looked by manufacturers, and many of
the improvements made this year will
be applied to next years wheel.-N. Y.

Within his dewy nest,
Of when the light of heaven
Shall bloom upon his breast.

the various arms is so regulated that
one is about three feet longer than

venting collisions. A large ball is en-

Pedals on the Ends of Levers That Drive
the Rear Wheel.
The opinion is gaining ground that
the coming bicycle will be operated
without q chain. And if the leftover
stock of wheels made this year were not
80 large the new type would probably
be extensively produced for the coming
season. AS it is, predictions are not
safe. We have already mentioned two
or three methods of driving bicycs~
without chain. In one of them the
present style of pedal and crank is re-
tanned, and by means of bevel gearing
and slender steel rod the power is
transmitted from the crank to the rear
wheels. Another design, of which L.
Fl. Smith is the father or father-in-law,
was privately exhibited to representa-
tive of the New York Tribune recently.
The rear wheel has for its hub hollow
drum, five or six inches long, and with
about the same diameter. This in
closes certain gearing. which is COM

within, moves in opposite directions at
the same time. The pedals may, for
low speed, be worked up and down
through range of only four or five
inches; but double that swing will
double the speed. The extreme dis
lance through which they can move is
about fourteen inches. The levers are
curved, but the straight line measure
ment from center of axle to center of
pedal pivot is 16 inches. This may be
shortened, perhaps, to advantage. 1t
will be seen that this general plan is
free from some of the objections which
apply to the present style of bicycle.
But it adds a pound or two to the
weight of the machine; and whether 1T
is the coming wheel or not it is too
soon perhaps, to say.

Success in Horse Breeding.

In the successful breeding of horses
the breeder must be lover of the
horse as the first requisite, and second
he must be person of horse sense and
gumption, and when he has these
requisites he will be constantly study
ing the subject and getting what light
he can from the live stock journals, and
in his study of the animals under his
care will soon learn what foods are best
suited for each individual animal. and
thus feed so that his colts will thrive
and his horse will remain free from dis
ease, while his neighbor, lacking these
requisites, will be constantly having
