In this years race for cracka jacks, hon.

leaders In the race have been continually
falling over each Other-first one winning
and then another. In past years it has
been the custom for one man to take the

out winning almost everything in sight.
This year the racing men have departed
from the usual rule, and there is quite a
handful OF very evenly matched riders.
Prominent among the leaders are Eddie

Anexchange tells OF a Cincinnati inventor
who has designed what he calls an electro
cycle" in which an electrical appliance
aids in the propulsion of the wheel. The
only change from an ordinary bicycle is in
making the seat post from the saddle to
the pedals like truss.
Attached to the sprocket spindle are q
gear and motor OF one-horse power, and o
triangular case fills the frame between tie
front and rear wheels. This is about five
inches thick, and fits closely TO the frame
OF the wheel. Inside the base are stor-
age batteries connected with the motor by
wires, and there are electric buttons on the
ha:.dle bars for controlling the machine,
one starting it at a moderate gait, one add
ing 10 the speed, another to ring the bell,
and fourth TO regulate the light.

An inventor from Fairfield, Iowa, a II.
Snyder, thinks lie has solved the problem
of overcoming the disadvantages Of the
high gear His plan is to change the gear
without removing the wheel, by means OF
a detachable sprocket on the rear hub.
This lie provides for by making his Iear
sprocket in two pieces, which fit into each
other ard are fastened securely in place
by narrow screw collar on the hub.
SInaiilugs on theparts ofthe toothed wheel
and corresponding depressions nthe- flanee
OF the hub obviate danger of tho sprocket
turning without the hub. By using this
device, the inventor says, the, gear may be
changed in less than five minutes without
taking off The wheel or loosening the bear

IT WAS LOADED.
Miss May kenney Of Oakland. Has Narrow
Escape From Serious Injury.

Oakland, Nov. 17.-(SpeciaD This
town came near being the scene of an
other tragedy. Monday evening. Miss
May Kenney had a narrow escape from
death by the discharge of revolver
that she was looking into to see if it
was loaded. Miss Kenney had occasion
to go to the drawer of her dressing case
for something and when she opened the
drawer she saw her fathers revolver
laying therein.
Now Miss Kenney is the leading lady
in the drama produced at Memorial
hall. last night. and, during her part.
she had occasion to use revolver. The
young lady took the revolver from the
drawer and proceeded to examine it,
1t is stated that the gun was at full
trigger when she took it out. Anyway
she turned the muzzle toward her face
and looked into the chambers. Just as
she discovered that there were cart
ridges there the gun was discharged,
and 3S-calibre bullet grazed her
cheek.
Miss kenney was so frightened that
she fell to the floor in a faint and was
laying there when her mother rushed
into the room. A sensation followed
when other members of the household
arrived on the scene. Some thought it
was another case of suicide but it was
soon found that the young lady was
uninjured. For more than an hour af-
ter coming to herself Miss Kenney lay
upon the bed weeping from the effects
of the fright.
