A wheel so fitted can be run over hard
snow to a lake or river, and once upon the
ice finds it's element. Eric ction Is reduced
to a minimum, and with a favoring breeze
the rider can strike 1: 80 gait with ease.
Sails have been fitted to the ice bicycles,
enabling the rider to coast when going be-
fore the wind, or to tack against 1t. This
scheme has met with a very favorable re-
oeption in Holland, over a thousand sets
of skate attachments having been shipped
to that country during the recent fall sea-
son. On the long ice highways of the
canal country the ice bicycle will work like
charm.
The Water Bicycle.
Another novelty is the water bicycle, to
be run on the briny waves wherever the
will of the rider chooses to take him. A
machine of this kind, the only one in the
United States, made visit to Washington,
and was for some days at anchor off the
arsenal wharf. 1t excited much comment
and inquiry. 1t is peculiar apparatus, al
post indeScribable. Two long copper CYL
iEderS, tapering at each end, and floating
Ealf out of the water, support a platform
four or five feet high. Upon this platform.

mounted between the cylinders at the rear
end, and the handle bars connect with a
rudder projecting behind the cylinders. To
propel the machine the rider simply slides
into the saddle, pushes the pedals and of
he goes looking like extinct species of
water crane.

Breathing While Cycling.

The pleasure and benefits to be de rived
from cycling depend almost as much upon
the manner of breathing as upon muscular
strength The easier person breathes the
easier he may ride; but by easy breathing
should be understood long, regular respira-
tions, avoiding any approach toward short,
quick breaths Those troubled with nasal
disorders are often compelled to breathe
through the mouth, and when riding at a
good rate of speed rapid inhalation is almost
unavoidable. This manner of breathing Is
always injurious, and is more than apt to
lead to heart or lung trouble. Mere rapid
1ty Of movement is not in itself sufficient to
bring about this "shortness of breath" as
1t Is Familiarity known, but must be accom-
panied by intense muscular effort in order
to produce 1t, and may, therefore, be at
tributed directly to general muscular IA
tigue. When rider begins to feel WEAKNESS
of this kind he should at once reduce his
pace or dismcunt and rest making at the
same time practice of breathing through
the nose, with slow eXhalations through The
mouth. Precautions of this character en-
nance the pleasure and enjoyment of wheel
ing, and add greatly to the benefits that are
TO be derived from the exercise

Bicycle Stables Aboard Ship.

If the owners of the various lines of
steamships that make winter trips and eX-
cursions to the East and West Indies and
southern ports, would equip their steamers
with bicycle stables it would be delight to
tourists. The expense of keeping on board
a supply Of standard wheels would not only
be of the greatest value to travellers in ex-
ploring when on shore, but they would also
be source Of revenue to any company, and
probably pay for themselves many times
over.

Grenter Use of Pneumatic Tires

The use of pneumatic tires on all
kinds of vehicles, in addition to bicycles,
seems to have been prediction that was
well founded. They are already being used
extensively in all the larger cities on the
wheels of various kinds Of carriages, and
the increasing demand proves the efficiency
they give and the satisfaction they are CIV
ing.
r;dng-for instance, in a brougham-with or
without rubber-tired wheels. The comfort
of the tires is beyond the most sanguine
expectations of the inexperienced. The
smoothness is particularly noticeable in
these heavier carriages where all the scrap
ing and crunching of the wheels is done
away with, and the gliding noiselessness
ADDS ten-fold pleasure to driving.

LATE BICYCLE INVENTION.

The iarge number of accidents caus-
ed by fast bicycle riding in London
and suburbs, many of which have in
volved loss of life or of limbs, has beer
frequently a~nlmadverted upon ty
magistrates and c%oroners, and there
have been suggestions that the govern
ment might find itself compelled to
Introduce a bill charging the powers
OF the police and their authority over
riding, and probably prohibit entirely
the use of wheels ia the sections of the
city where traffic is congested from
morning until night. As a result a
number Of inventors have been devot-
ing their energies to the evolution of
some safety appliances that would ef-
feet an immediate decrease of speed,
or stoppage OF the wheel while 10 mo-
ton. A private view was given at the
agricultural hall, over there, recently,
of an addition to bicycle mechanism
upon which patent papers have just
been issued, aud which it is believed
will o o como into general use. By a
touch on a spring in the handle. bar,
two small wheels are simultaneously
released and drop to the ground, Civ
ing a decided check to the momentum
of the wheel. BY touching another
spring the wheels are forced apart,
and afford a substantial support to the
wheel, enabling the riders to keep their
seats when the wheel is not in motion,
and giving it all the stability OF a tri-
cycle. With equal rapidly the springs
and wheels are lifted back into their
place, and the bicycle is again free to
pursue It's course. The invention can
be attached to any wheel at a cost Of
about two guineas, or eleven dollars.

The strange death IN Nav York Of
Millionaire Frank z. Arbuckle, of Den.

the enactment of a law recognizing the
administration of ~"knockout drops" as
a crime. As it is, the giving of this
colorless, innocent looking solution of
choral hydrate to an unsuspectlng
stranger, to his detriment, If not death,
can only be punished because of the
crime that follows-robbery or assault
1t is now generally believed that Ar.
buckle was doped, and the papers are
giving the matter their attention, IN the
hopes of having this new crime of
''peteriDg," as it is called, placed on
the criminal calendar. As there were
twenty-five murders IN the past year
by means of the ~"drops," the sugges-
ton meets with favor; and OF these
dead Twenty-Five, q scant half dozen
were ever identified, the others filling a

ously disappeared in other cities may
