not satisfactory. and Of the many tried since
only the one of this year has been satisfactory.
No sooner was this gun on tho market than
tho old two trigger gun appeared with an i'm
provement which threatened to take the wind

gers were arranged with the left one immedi-
ately under and just behind the right, but
with guard which effectually prevents the
pulling of both triggers at the same time. This
ARRANGEMENT enables the two barrels to be dis
charged without moving the hand. and conse-
quently without any change in the alignment of
the gun. and there is the additional advantage
of giving the choice of right or left barrel. the
lack of which is the only drawback to the
single-trigger idea. 1t is also contended that

that there must be such an escape OF gas at the
movable breech Joint that the penetration and
killing distance must suffer when compared
with the execution of the old system. Many Of
the old timers held on to the muzzle-loaders
until their individual day was closed, and then
their sons and heirs had the old hard shoot
ing guns converted into breech-loaders. Many
OF these old guns had the barrels so thin at the
muZZle that IL was q common saying that one
could cut wads with them, and yet they car

CROSSING G GrHEocEAN ON WHEELS

CROSSING THE OCEAN ON WHEELS
Within the next few weeks a new craft
is to be tested in the English Channel 1t
is a machine which, for want of a better
name, may still be called a vessel that is
to move through the water on wheels. the
latter, however, not to be used as means
of propulsion, but to serve the purpose of
lesseDing the friction or resistance of the
element. 1t is the invention of a French
engineer, who is entirely confident Of its
practical working and who predicts that
it will bring about revolution in naviga-
ton. From experiments made with large
model of this new craft one of the leading
naval engineers of France concludes that it
will not consume more than one-twenty-
fifth the amount Of fuel now necessary to
propel vessel of the same size, and its
inventor claims that it will be able to de-
velop a speed equal to that of an express
train.
The interesting feature OF this new
invention is to be found in the possibilities
that are not now taken into consideration.
There is little doubt that before many years
will have passed electricity will supplant
steam power altogether. Even with our
present types of marine architecture, both
forcommercial and navaluses, the dynamo.
taking the place of the steam boiler. is
going to effect revolution. the magnitude
OF which can hardly be conceived. Take
this in combination with the Frenchman's
invention. If it proves a success, and it
will be seen that we stand at the threshold
of q new era in the probemsof navigation.

THE BICYCLE PARADE.

Tonight will witness the realization Of
what The Times and the representative
wheelmen OF the District have been work
ing fora bicycle parade which should
call out every club. and which should also
include the great army Of those who do
| not belong to regular heeinen's orgauiza-
tions. Such an event is now assured, in
spite of the eeemingiy uasurmountable diff
\ ficulties to he overcome.
1t goes without saying that this dis
play of the silent steeds in their local
/ aspect is of great interest and importance
to every man, woman and child in the
| District of Columbia. The growth here
by marvellous leaps and bounds-of this
pleasant and profitable means OF kpco-
| motion can never be appreciated ,atil
it is seen at q glance. This great NOV
ing panorama, whose main theater is be
the. grandest avenue in the world. will
demonstrate that the bicycle is, indeed,
large factor in the life OF our people.
1t will emphasize the fact that this sub
stitute for the horse and the steam engine
is here to stay. and that henceforth 1t is
to play an important part in s"cial. in
dustriai. business, and physical life.
To the credit Of the committee in charge
it must be said that no body of men ever
worked harder or in greater harmony.
Each mans effort was a labor Of love for
the advancement Of the wheel. The superb
ority OF this or that make, the standing Of
different clubs, the rivalry of fast riders
all these were forgotten in the possibility
of a successful carnival in honor Of what
now is the king of sports. The personnel OF
the committee shows it TO be thoroughly
representative of all cycling interests in
Washington and it is a great compliment to
the character OF these interests that the
committee meetings have been marked by
an absence of any acrimonious discussion.
The success of the parade tonight-and If
the weather permits it is already an as
sured SUGGESTS in the main due TO the
hearty cooperation OF the clubs and their
delegates with The Times. The Christian
Endeavorers, in whose honor the event was
arranged, will return TO their homes with
a pleasant remembrance OF the organized
and unattached wheelnen and whcelwomen
of Washington. Nothing could more fit
tingly terminate their great convcnti IN.
A sound body is best coDservator of sound
morals and a bicycle the best conservator
OF a sound body. All honor, then, to the
.advance agent" OF morality and good
citizenship.

BICYCLES IN POLITICS.

The ubiquitous bicycle is pla ying its
part SO oonspcuous!y in the economic af-
fairs of American life that it is not sur
prising to hear the expectation expressed
that it will also become prominent in
politics. In fact, the beginning of it's pu-
litical career is predicted to take place
| in the coming campaign and its develop
ment in this line is thought sure to be
| rapid. Not only in making it possible for
candidates or their supporters to circu-
late rapidly in the rural districts, but
for the purpose of spectacular demonstra-
ton the wheel can become vastly USE
full. As a campaign promoter, as new
factor in torc.ligiit procession, and in
dozen other ways the bike will find en-
ployment.
To the experienced. skillful politician, the
bicycle should commend itself for several
of its qualities. Like himself, it is smooth,
noise!ess. and swift, three invaluable
characteristics. 1t does its work silently
as he docs it; it is machine that can
give even him a pointer in running with
out racket or frictian, and lit gets there"
even as be would himself. He will find
many uses for it that have never yet
been dreamed of, and it is pretty safe to
predict that henceforth no well-resulated
campaign will be complete without q BIZ
cycle attachment. The more important
the campaign. Tho greater also VIII be the
importance of the bike" and it is bound
to become a dangerous competitor to the
farm wagon and the "one-huss shay
The progress OF the bicycle. and its
success in this, its first appearance, in
Presidential coatest, will be watched with
no little interest, and whichever party
may win, or whoever may be elected, it
is certain that the wheel will come in for
its share of the glory.
