rise to walk without thinking of it..
You are now wheeling expert. Now
comes the. trick riding. II 111e@
y The easiest trick IS the, one you
should take up at the beginning. 1t is
riding your wheel backward. Three at
tempts will be enough to teach you
how to do it. Have an assistant at
hand to catch you if you fall off on the
first mount.
Stand with your back to the front
wheel. Put both hands behind you and
grasp the handle bars. Step upon the
near pedal. Throw your leg over the
bar and catch the off pedal Ridel
AS you work the pedals you will find
the machine moving swiftly backward.
A glance over your shoulder guides
you. The art of balance will serve you
well, for you will not fail if once you
get mounted. You will find the only
difference, so far as you are concerned,
is that you are sitting with your face

second seat regulates the speed and
acts as engineer.
The storage battery at present in use
is able to carry the machine at a speed
of over forty miles an hour or about an
hour and half without change.
The inventors devised the machine ex-
pressly to pace contestants in time con-
tests and long road races. In France
the cost of hiring PAGERS in the profess
sional races is very considerable, and
twenty four hour contests become ex-
tremely expensive to the management
that is conducting them. The electric
tandem is estimated to cut down the
expense about half
This machine has been so successful
that French bicycle manufacturers are
locking forward to the construction of
storage motor In the near future that
may be fastened to ordinary single bicy-
cles and will give effective help in
climbing hills or when bursts of speed
are needed by tired riders.

For the cyclist who wants to learn
trick riding the cardinal principle is
to get acquainted with the wheel,
writes Harvey Lincoln. He should be
able to mount and dismount with as
much surety as he would step on and
off chair. A slip or fall should be i'm
possible. He should be able to stop
the wheel at any turn of the pedals
and dismount, and he should feel while
riding that nothing short Of stroke
of apoplexy could make him lose his
balance.
To obtain this perfection there is
nothing necessary but practice. Step
upon the wheel every night and every
morning for little ride. Soon you

GOSSIP OF THE WHEEL.

The brake is bound to grow in favor Cir
cumstances during the last few weeks force
this conclusion upon the students of the cycle
trade. Accidents, several fatal ones among
the number, have occurred in the East lately
and it has been shown that in each case
brake. had there been one attached, could
DOUBTLESS have averted the fatality. The
cyclists realize it and each day they are be-
coming more and more convinced Of its ne
cessity. An expert rider has said: .'If brakes
were in universal Use the number of acct
dents would be decreased nearly so per cent
Even the dreaded and universally condemned
scorcher would not Be so'terrifying if he had
a brake on his Wheel 1t would be decided
benefit even on Level places. where stop
could be made quickly. No one needs to be
told that it would be- a decided advantage on
hills. The novice, above all others, should
not attempt to ride in "a ,hilly country with
out brake. The art Of. back pedaling is an
accomplishment which should be acquired by
all, but there are times when even that does
not avail. The foots may slip at a critical
moment, or any oneEo of q dozen minor acct
dents happen, which makes it imperative that
the speed of the wheel rbe checked at once.

trary notwithstanding.

HIS FAMILY ON A WHEEL.
A New Jersey Man Is Travelling to
Minnesota.

Henry Norton. a painter who has
liveo in Camden, N. J., for several
years is now on his way to Albert Lea,
Mimi, on bicycle, over the re n wheel
OF which he constructed a platform and
above this he placed tent. The plat
form is large enough to afford space
for his wife and two children as well
as few cooking utensils. Thus
equipped he expects to make one hum
dred miles a day, and he does not
think that the trip will cost him more
than 500.
|. Norton is painter and has been out
of work for some time. A brother who
lives in Minnesota promised him work
If he would go out there. He had no
money to pay railroad fare and was
wondering what he was to do when he
saw a bicycle parade and that gave
him the idea for his tent on wheel
He Immediately set to work and con-
structed his raft and a few days ago
started on his journey.

Laziness is the father of nearly as
