THE SPORTING WORLD.

IL is an easy thing to keep on your
own side Of the road, and yet il is a
daily occurrence TO meet people who
pay not the slightest attention 10 where
they are riding, whether they are q
nuisance to every one in general or
whether they are directly disobeying
one of the most common courtesies of
the public nj large. As some wise per-
son has said, "Of course every man has
right TO half the road, but he hasn't
the right 10 kick his half out Of the mid
die of the street" But that is exactly
what great many people insist on do
ing, and for which reason occur "a great
many unfortunate and serious collisions
that could be easily avoided.
Bicycle collisions are "a species Of ac-
cident that il is wise to avoid, not only
on account of the danger TO life and
limb, but because bicycle, though built
TO withstand rough use, is not bound to
be accident proof against the force Of a
collision. Stop and think for a moment
of the damage that may ensue from the
colliding of two bicycle riders in rapid
motion. A man weighing $50 pounds
and moving at the rate of l2 feet "a sec.
ond. which is but a trifie over eight
miles an hour, has momentum Of
1880 pounds, and this leaves out of ac-
count altogether the weight Of the

sion between two wheels. each carrying
$50 pound rider, running long at
the moderate speed Of eight miles an
hour would result in smash up, with
force of nearly 1000 pounds.
1t has been thought that the pneu-
matte tire forms sort Of safeguard
which would prevent serious concus-
sion in case of collision. Perhaps it
would have u slightly modifying effect.
but il would be of little or no account
Taking these facts into consideration, it
is very evident that bicycle collision
is not the most pleasant thing in the
world, and every good wheelman should
avoid such chances by keeping on his
own side of the road. New York Times.

A Bicycling Cat.

Danville, Pa, probably has the only
bicycle fiend in the shape Of a cat in the
United States. IL is u black cat-as
black as the hinges Of midnight-and
belongs TO w. q. Proctor. This cat en-
joys a bicycle ride as well as any wheel
man in America and never misses an
opportunity of taking one. The route is
never too long and the pace never too
warm for him. The cat does not, TO be
sure, sit upon the saddle and do the
pedaling, but il rides upon the shoul.
ders Of the boys in the neighborhood.
In the evening, when the boys start out
on their spins, one Of them will place
this cat upon his shoulders, and there
Tom will sit through the entire journey
If permitted TO do So The cat never
falls from its perch, Sometimes IL is
partially dislodged by the boys in
mounting or by a sudden turn or bump
in the road. but its claws are ever ready
TO catch new hold. When the cat sees
one of the youngsters starting out for a
ride, il runs after him, and If he does
not offer to take it up Tom rubs against
his leg and meows in very suppl.

cat is about year old and has been a

months. -Philadelphia Record.

DEATH OF TRUMBULL.

Against Conviction Of Presi-
dent johnson Has Gone to
His Reward.

Chicago, June 25.-Ex-U. s. Senator
Lyman Trumbull died at O'Clock this
morning after long illness. Judge
Trumbull was born at Colchester, Conn.,,
in 1913. He has been school teacher,
lawyer, judge and statesman. He fought
side by side with the immortal Lincoln
men, who founded the Republican party.
When that party, as he thought, departed
from it's true mission, he became Demo-
crat. He took strong ground against the
extension of the power of the United
States courts, and was counsel for the A..
R. U. officers before the United States gu
preme court.
He was conscious just before he ex-
pired, but was unable more than to
recognize those about him. Death came
like quiet sleep.
