CYCLES FOR SOLDIERS

The soldiers in the Army are to be afforded
an opportunity 20 SECURE bicycles at favorable
rate. Gen. Miles has made an arrangement with
New England bicycle manufacturer by which
good wheels are TO be sold to the soldiers at a
reduction on terms Of payment. which mako
the acquisition of machine possible under the
limited wages of the enlisted man. This ar
rangement will be highly appreciated by the
troopers, most of whom are enthusiasts for such
open air exercise.
Already some OF the cavalrymen at Fort
Myer the garrison near Washington. have pur-
chased bicycles aud ride their wheels about the
city. The wheels willie of use in accustoming
the soldiers TO their use in actual service, should
the time come when the Regular soldiers are to
he mounted on bicycles, as has been proposed.
The bicycle never had a siancher friend than
Gen. Mics. He believes firmly in the utility
OF the wheel. and expects to see it in practical
general use in the military service.

ABOUT PENSIONS,

The following report has been given out by
the Interior Department relative to the present
status of all pension claims. The report is
made after the annual inspection Of the files Of
the Pension Bureau. The statement reads:
Since July /. 1895. the total number of
pension claims of all kinds and classes pending
before the office has decreased 56.536. This
leaves the aggregate number now awaiting
action 495. 66i. The actual number of claim
ants is, however. only 4l0.922.
The d. ference in the figures is due to dupli-
cations of cases in which single claimant APP
plies for q pension under separate legal pro-
visions as, for instance, both under the general
law and the famous June ~. $780," act.
While in many OF these cases the claimant is
already receiving some form Of pension and is
applying for an increase. there 176. 585 cases
of claimants to whom no pension VIVA tever has
issued.
The number on the pension rolls is steadily
decreasing. and the forthcoming report OF the
Commissioner of Pensions, which will be sub
mitled within six weeks. will show the total
number of pensioners everywhere to be a little
over $4,000 slight decline. Official esti-
mates place the number of deaths of pension
ers during the fiscal yoar just closed at about
30 000"

Six Months of theatrical JOURNALISM

The Electrical ReUiew has just completed its
26th volume, which contains some of the best
newspaper work ever done by technical
journal. In addition 10 giving thoroughly
reliable news Of the progress of electrical work
in all its branches. the Electrical ReUisU has So
cured in the past six months a large number
OF unusually valuable aud exclusive articles on
in portant subjects. Itprinted the first official
interview with Prof, ,Roentgen, and the only
interview with Prof Salvon, of the University
of Perugia Italy, who made some very inter
esing and remarkable discoveries OH tho
Ruentgrn ray.
The RericU was alsothe first to give an Illus
irated description of the new Westinghouse
Baldwin electric locomotive, and obtained the
first ofiia interview will, Thos. A. Edison on his
new Huorescent lamp. This interview was il
Illustrated with a sketch of tho lamp made by
Mr.. Edison for the Reriew. The greatest honor
that this journal has attained is that 1t was Sc
lerted exclusively by Nkois Tesla for giving
TO the w9rld the remarkable series Of articles
written by him, describing his wonderful prog
ress in X-ray photography aud in vacuum
tube lighting.
The electrical field is rapidly broadening,
and the class of people interested in its progress
is as rapidly widening; the progress made
from week to week is faithfully delineated for
their benefit Ia the Electrical Repiep, Of New
York City.
