Making Other Children Happy.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 1S.-The inven-
tive genius of the Alameda Cyclers, Fred
White, Will soon begin work again upon
his motor cycle. Last spring Mr.. White
made some rough drawings of an intended
invention, but when he undertook to
secure funds to carry out the plans he
found that with the uncertainty of election
coming on and the lack of confidence
among business men 1T would be impos-
sible to secure tie financial backing, so he
gave up work. Now, however. the uncer-
taInty has changed and confidence has
been restored. Mr.. White will begin
work afresh with the new year. Already
the wheels and frame work are shaped
sufficiently to be put together.
81 have some ideas entirely different
from any motor now in use." said Mr..
White, "and l am satisfied that by the
time the spring rains are over | will have
one of the best motor cycles in the United
States i'll operation. The pneumatic tires
OF the bicycle will be retained, which will
make the machine noiseless. With such
streets as we have in this City l can make
good speed and have perfect control OF
the cycle 1t will have four wheels and
an iron frame, which will make it very
strong and durable"
