JAR RIDING.
Many Devices to Prevent It Have Ed.
 Patented Recently.

aLehieu GeceutIY
 The trend of the most recent deyed5 ments toward mechanical inproyemea of the bicycle appears to be in the E rection of devices for lessening the s of the roads. Investigators all of the country who are working on whea seem to have picked this line as q most necessary and profitable in f proving the present form of the \ cycle.
 As the result of this labors there q at least a dozen devices of this kind gently patented, and probably a hdl dred at present in the patentoficeora ing eXperimented upon. Of those ready in use air cushions and sprinI are the principal means employed make it easier for the riders. There d several varieties of the so-called cua ion-fralne machines, in which springsl pneumatic cylinders take up the bration of the frame of the bicycl This type appears to work falrly M but it's opponents claim that the lnsP tions of the cushions weakens the stl ture of the wheel. The same obleca' is found with the pneumatic hub cycle, but as in the other types case riding is frequently enhanced.
 Beisdes these varieties there are number of devices which have the hel of being easily applicable to the dinary heel as at present consuucs 1. without the necessity of a change ln' framework. They consist of the ple n, matic saddles, the new spring saaa' the spring seat posts, and the pns matic handle-bars. All of these aPp' ,i to be improvements in the rlsn' dA' ton.

BELIEVES IN SEA sERPENTs.
Monster Deep-sea DweIIers That Possess
 ExtraordinarY Powers.

Monster Deep-Sea Dwellers That Possess
 Extraordinary Powers.
 Do 1 believe in sea serpents?' re peated Eugene c. Blaelford, formerly state fish commissioner. '.I certainly do. Of course, don't believe in Ill the details of all sea serpents, as seen at are huge marine monsters which appear like serpents, and cause these tales about sea serpents to be told
 How is it that none of these has ever been captured?n
 Their enormous size and swiftness, their extraordinary powers, and the fact that they are shy and seldom ap. pear,
 Why are not their bodies cast ashore2"
 They are probably deep-sea dwell CTS. The bodies of the deep-sea fish are not cast ashore. except on rare and abnormal occasions. For instance, Is years ago about 100000 deep-sea fish were found floating dead on the surface of the ocean. It was supposed that a submarine explosion had killed them. Deep-sea fish cannot get to the surface under ordinary conditions, or, if they do, they cannot get down again."
 Wouldn't that keep the sea serpent up if he once came up?"
 Not necessarily. He may be con structed on different plan I think the sea serpent is survival of the great reptiles of the Plesiosaurus spe- cies. 1t is quite possible that, though a dweller of the deep, he may be able to come to the surface of the sea and go down again at his pleasure.

oBEYED ORDERS TO THE LETTER
Muggins Told the Engiishman to Dig Post
 Holes and He Did.

''l once knew a man named Mugglns who was queer sort of q person, said Congressman Mendell, Of Wyomiag and l always thought good deal Of him. Once he hired an Englishman to work on his ranch. But when they gave him trial it turned out that he couldn't ride nor rope.
 Johnny, said Nuggins, kin yer dig post holes?
 Johnny thought he could, so Mug gins sets hiia to work making holes in the ground. He draws a straight line for him and then he sits down at one end and tells Johnny to go ahead
 You just dig post holes, Johnny, along this line until l tells yer to stop Ain't just made up my mind how far fwant yer to go. Butt'll tell yer
 Johnny digs post holes, and Mug gins goes out every day 10 see how he is getting along, But in few days he gets call to attend court in CheY enne and stays away two months. When he comes back he asks:
 Wharabouts is that are young Britisher that was here when left?'
 Oh, is it Johnny you mean@
 That same critter.' says Muggins
 Oh why, Johnny, he left here about two months dgo with six months pro visions and 1 pack horse, and said you tols. him to do something or other. He hasn't showed up since
 .sMuggips threw his leg over the back of COW pony, with a grim expression and q growl and began to follow John ny's trail by the post holes. By night he catches up with him. There was Johnny with his pack horse and his pro visions in camp.
 What be yer doin' here?' said Mug. gins.
 Bless me heyes, Mr. Muggins, bur I'm glad to see yeu.' shouts the English, man. 'Ow long. sir, are ye goin' to keel me a-diggin' these bloody post oles3a'

MOST CURIOUS FISH IN THE OCEAN.

The dugong is certainly the queerest an imal that ever carae out of the sea. Not even mermaid would be more remarkable, although more agreeable to look upon
 man-of-war near Alden, in the Red sea. When the animal was cut open young one was found inside her. This may be CT. The measurements of the mother du- gong are: Length, feet; greatest breadth, l foot 10 inches; longest finger, inches; breadth of head, 10 inches; length of head, F inches; greatest breadth of tail, 10

inches The child is 2 feet 6 inches in length 6 inches in breadth, and it's tail at the greatest breSdth measures 10 inches, It is a pathetic spectacle, the great pros from life and her native element with her unborn child. The dugongs are very harm less animals. The resemblance of the du7 gong to a human being is very striking, but very grotesque The animal seen here looks like an immensely fat old man, with unnaturally short arms and wearing trdu- sers that conceal all of his legs but his feet.

A Chance TO Make Money.

I have berries, grapes and peaches, a
year old, fresh as when picked. / use
the California Cold process, do not heat
or seal the fruit, just put it up cold, keeps
perfectly fresh, and costs almost nothing
can put up bushel in ten minutes. Last
week l sold directions to over 100
families; anyone will pay dollar for
directions. when they see the beautiful
samples of fruit. AS there are many
people poor like myself, consider it my
duty to give my experience to such, and
feel confident any one can make one or
two hundred dollars round home in a
few days. I will mail sample of fruit
and complete directions, to any of your
readers, for eighteen two-cent stamps,
which is only the actual cost of the
samples, postage, etc, to me.

useful that I showed it to my friends,

is household necessity. 1t cannot slip

Expert English opinion.


Moreton Frewer, one of the bes,
known authorities on finance in Grea,
Britain, being interviewed in London
by a representative of the New York
Journal, had this to say OF the silver
question:
al personally agree with Mr.. Bryan
that if the United States should oper
her minis at to 16 she can raise thu
exchange value of silver all the world
over to her rating. / hold this
opinion not upon mere grounds o
Il cory, but upon what we actually
saw during the month of June, 1893
We saw the minis OF India closed ant
we saw the effects of that closure; thu
price OF silver fell more than % PEI
cent. in five days. If the closing o
the Indian minis single handed hat
such q colossal effect as that upon tn,
price Of silver bullion, how great would
be the effect experienced if the United
States, with her enormous exporting
power, were to open her minis to fret
coinage? 1t seems to me almost /,
rule of three equation that with thu
minis open in the United States silvel
would 90 to 100 cents An ounce an(
remain there. I agree in holding THU
view with President Andrews of Brown,
university, and with q number o
authorities on this side of the water
including Mr.. H. H. Gibbs and Mr.
Grenfell, both ex-Governors of the
Bank of England, who stated thi'
view EXPLICITLY in the evidence they
gave before the Royal Commission or
Currency in 1887"

The following is an expression from
the editorial announcing the change
"The student of political history
must, in the calm and dispassionate
survey of troublesome past, realize
that Gen. Palmer is dangerous man
for any party to choose as q leader.
Even as a private he is dangerous, and
the terrors of impending mutiny are
realized. Belonging to all parties and
true to none, it is now in bad taste for
General Palmer to come before an
