The Value OF a CUP,

Ono Of the most comforting things a
fisherman or hunter can carry with him
is cup to drink from. Some men get
along with their hands, or by leaning
over stream or spring and drinking
direct from the water, but there is no
comfort, and there is a possibility of
lizards n this. O13 likes TO stand erect
and drink comfortably when on the
march. 1t is more satisfactory. When
one forgets his cup, he makes one from
the large leaves Of a tree or bush, or
from paper, or uses the top of his hat. -

TRYING TO GET EVEN.
Clock and 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 are now max
ing up for it in the manufacture and
sale of cyclometegs. Competition is ex-
ceedingly lively among the rival max.
ers. to the great benefit OF the rider.
Three or four years ago there were
only few makes of cyclometers, and
they were very heavy and costly. Now
cyolometers are made as small as sill
yer quarter, weigh almost nothing and
can be purchased at a trifiing cost.
Many dealers add a cyclometer to the
equipment of the bicycle ms an induce
ment to the purchaser, ana as result
bicycles without cyclometers 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 tra7ersed
by the cyclist 1t is practically 10, 900
mile tapeline in compact and conven-
lent form. 1t is great satisfaction for
the rider to see the miles roll up on the
dial as ne spins along. The present cy-
clometers are very simple in construo-
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 cyciometer TO measure the
distance between two points accurately
if he wabbles from one side of the road
TO the other. In this way beginners
cyc'ometer might record mile while
he has been pursuing his sinuous course
for only half that distance.
Cyclometers are made for wheels OF a
given diameter, and if 20 inch cyclom-
eter be fitted TO % inch wheel the
figures will not be accurate enough to
be valuable. For the same reason if the
front tire be soft an appreoiable error
in the measurement will occur, because
of the lessered diameter of the bicycle
wheel If the tire sinks m quarter Of
an.inch under the weight of the rider,
the error in a mile ride would amount
to IA yards. Thus the accuracy of cy-
clometer measurement varies percepti-
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
7ariation from the truth, 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

THE LAURADA SUCCEEDS.
Has Landed Re Endorsements
and Much Dynamite in Cuba.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 90
According to two ca blegaams,
the steamer Laurada, which
sailed from this port for Cuba
August 6, landed one of the
most formidable tilibustering
expeditions yet shipped to
Caba, and then touched at
Port Antonio, Jamaica.
The first news of the arrival
of the Laurada was a cablegram
from Port Antonio by Captain
John D. Hart, announcing the
arrival of the steamer at that
port and also the bursting of
three boiler tubes. Later a CT
pher dispatch was received by
the leader of the Cuban Junta
in this city stating that the
Laurada had landed her i'm
mense cargo on the southern
coast of Cuba in Santa Clara
Province. The cipher also told
that the Cubans aboard the
steamship had landed with the
cargo.
The cargo Of the filibustering
craft consisted of 1000 pounds
of dynamite, in six inch sticks;
II field guns, four cannon and
seven. GatliDgs, a quantity of
ammunition and nearly 200
men.
