TRYING TO GET EVEN.
c,ooE aud watch Makers Get Into the
bicycle Trade.


bicycle Trade.
Clock and watch makers who found
their regular business falling off ON &c
count of the bicycle craze arc now max
ing up for il in the manufacture and
sale of cyclometers. Competition is OK
ceedingly lively among the rival max
ers, to the great benefit of the rider.
Three OF four years ago there vera
only few makes of cyclometers, and
they were very heavy and costly. Now
cyclometers are made as small rs a sill
yer quarter, weigh almost nothing and
can be purchased at trifling cost.
Many dealers add cyclometer to the
equipment of the bicycle as an induce
ment to the purchaser, and as q result
bicycles without oyriometers are the ex-
ception.
Cycling has brought many blessings
in its train, and one of the greatest of
these is the neat little register which
records accurately the distance traversed
by the cyclist. 1t is practically 10, 600
mile tapeline in a compact and conven-
lent form. 1t is a great satisfaction for
the rider to see the miles roll up on the
dial as he spins along. The present cy-
clometers are very simple in construc-
ton, and as a rule perform their duty
without error, but too much must not
be expected of what is merely a me-
chanical continuance. A rider can hardly
expect his cyclometer to measure the
distance between two points accurately
if he wabbles from one side Of the road
to the other. In this way beginners
cyclometer might record a mile while
he has been pursuing his sinuous course
for only half that distance.
Cyclometers are made for wheeis Of a
given diameter, and If a 26 inch cyclom-
eter be fitted to 28 inch wheel the
figures will not be accurate enough to
be valuable. For the same reason if the
front tire be soft an approciable error
in the measurement will occur, because
of the lessened diameter of the bicycle
wheel, If the tire sinks in quarter of
an inch under the weight of the rider,
the error in mile ride would amount
to ii yards. Thus the accuracy of cy-
clOmeter measurement varies percepu-
bly,, according to the hardness of the
tire However, the average bicycle rider
is not an engineer or surveyor, and the
popularity Of the cyclometer is in no
way endangered because Of this slight
variation from the truth, a failing to
which the cyclometer is often driven by
the scorcher eager for huge mileage
record.
So long as the variation is on the cy-
clist's side the cyclometer's future is
safe. At any rate, the demand for the
device is lively, and the makers are re
trenching their losses incurred by the
encroachment Of the bicycle upon the
watch trade. - New Orleans Times

ing for Him.

A few days ago John Huested, who
conducted an oyster house on K street,
near Fifth, took his departure from the
city, leaving a note to mis- wife saying
that the business would not support
them both, and he had decided to go
away. In the published account of his
departure 1t was stated that the busi-
ness was established for Mrs. Huested
py her relatives, and that if he returned
and attempted to resume control of the
business he would find himself "de
trop.
Mrs. Huested says this is a mistake;
that her relatives had nothing to do
with the business, and that if her hus-
pand returns he can resume the control
of the business at any time. She says
that herself and husband never had
any trouble of any kind, and that she
will look after the business to the best
OF her ability until he returns, which
she confidently expects he will do before
long. She thinks he left solely because
