general public and very rarely is it ever referred to by the cyclists themselves.
 On the track it often happens that for some seemingly trivial reason a rider who is almost certain of winning a race will absolutely refuse to ride, even though he may have gone so far as to come 10 the scratch prepared to start. In such cases no amount of persuasion or argument on the part of the racers friends or packers can induce the man to start in that race.
 Urged to give a reason, his answer al- ways is that he has an undefined feel ing that he had better stay out of that raee-and stay out he invariably does. The real reason, however, is that tle man is actually afraid to enter the race His feelings are as nearly like the 'bue funk" of the schoolboy as anything, and he has an idea that his guardian angeF causes this feeling as a sort of warning. Be this as it may, the fact remains un- disputed that racing wheelmen are pc culiarly exempt from serious accident while in contests.
 The death of jockey while riding in a race, fatal accident to a ballplaycr, broken limbs and injured health on the football field, and almost fatal accidents while playing polo, are common inci-

When the three wheels struck, Barbo shot up into the air us if from a spring board. He sailed gracefully over the fence surrounding the track, head first, and after turning a somersault which would have done credit to professional tunhler, landed on his feet in the midst of crowd of spectators. Hicks was al- so thrown over the rail, and after per forming some wonderful and intricate mid-air contortions, found himself sit ting in a seat among the holders of re- serve tickets. Owens was the only one of the three who remained on the track, and it took four attendants the best part of ten minutes to get him untangled from the three wrecked wheels.
 Yet none of the men were hurt, al- though the wheels lay in ruins; and when other machines were provided they started out again and rode to fin- ish. When the three men came together they were riding at a record -brealting pace, and there was nota person who wit messed the collision but thought that

was it's companion, and to say that they were worn by very slim person is, of course, unnecessary.
 Black and white, the combination which is forever new, is used most eff fectively in gown of black cloth, fig ured with white silk. A dainty white and black silk was used in designing the bodice, and is laid around with sott folds of black velvet. The sleeves are also of black velvet-short, squatty puffs, with slim, lengthy sleeves be- heath.
 And the hat, trimmed with white laGA and black feathers, was a most striking accompaniment.
 Among American girls there is sturdy class who love their wheels. They fear neither cold nor wind; they love the brisk days of autumn and early winter; they delight in the sharp air that sends a glow to their cheeks, and wheel they will, until the snow falls and they may replace their steel steeds with winged feet" that fly over the ice.
 To the comfort of these girls does Dame Fashion give especial heed.
 Many of the girls wear jackets, such as form part of riding habit. On clear, still days, they sometimes wear the cyclists cape. Both are pretty, but neither is so new as the ve1veteen coat. Wben one thinks of it, velveteen is an ideal material for cycling coat, and the of long ago. Now that it has finally been introduced, there is no doubt whatever as to it's popularity.
 Velveteen jackets are short, tight fitting over the hips, with few plaits in the back.
 In front they are slightly box-shaped. double-breasted and button far over on one side with large buttons-of cut steel, if you prefer.
 While velveteen jackets are admir- able, there are some of cloth which will always hold their own.
 One in particular-an importation from Paris, that paradise for wheel women-is of scarlet cloth, single breasted, with full skirts. edged with several rows of black braid, and high standing collar. The coat is simply but toned down the front, and two odd little levers ornament it just below the collar and are held in position by two straps of the cloth laid across.
 Perhaps the eutest of all is the little breast pocket, with lap that buttons down, in which our fair rider may carry some change, her gum and most ins- loortant of all. the l1olafra tablet with which she tones herself for a, long ride.

 There are various forms of amalgam, gutta-pereha and cement which are used extensively, but the amalgam turns black almost as soon as it is used, and white cement and gutta-percha, almost without exception, are of only tenn porary usefulness.
 For that matter, if anyone could in- vent some method of making gold plastic like amalgam and gutta-percha, he could be sure of living in Easy street for the rest of his days. One of the great objections to the use of gold foil is the pain caused to the patient by the slow and unpleasant process of welding the gold into the cavity, leaf upon leaf.

IcnpYnInur. 1So6 l

In all the discussions of the fiRacal question which have appeared in the newspapers this fall the writers speak about gold and silver being used ''as money or in the arts"
 In the arts" is a big term. I had always supposed that it meant mainly the use of gold and silver in table plate or in spoons for baby to gnaw, or silver backed brushes for dear Henry to take with him when he goes to college. But there is another use for gold which was forced upon my attention during cou- versation the other day with T. J. Henry, one of the manufacturers of gold leaf and gold foil who make their headquarters in the metropolis and in Philadelphia.
 ''I eapnot form very accurate idea of the amount of gold used in gold leaf and gold foil in this country" said MT. Henry, but it is a big quantity, Prob ably a dentist could give you a better idea than I can. Gold foil is used al- most entirely by dentists in filling teeth; gold leaf is used in gliding, book binding and operations of that sort, besides the show that is made of acres and acres of gilded signs, spread before the public in one way and another.
 'fThe quantity of gold used in gold leaf is at least twice as great as that used i'll foil, in spite of the fact that the leaf is so much thinner than the foil A skilled man can hammer out 20 ounces of gold foil in day, while twill take him Q week to make two ounces of gold leaf, because it is so much thinner This work has always been done by hand, probably always will be. A single thickness of gold foil. such as dentists use-to the ordinary observer that seems thin enough in all eonscience- will make an entire book of gold leaG"

dents; but it is seldom, indeed, that one hears of bicycle racer meeting his death on the track, and even acciden ts of serious nature are so infrequent as to cause remark when they occur.
 That there is some mysterious in- fuence which protects the apparently reckless wheelman as he rushes at break-neck speed around the track would seem plausible enough, when the number of remarkable falls man takes are considered. In 99 cases out of 100 where the rider takes header over a fence, or gets tangled up with his CD, ponent's wheel, it would seem as if no human being could get out of such a mixed-up mess alive, even if he avoided instant death from the terrific jar of the sudden stop. In almost every case, however, the rider picks himself up un- hurt, often not even scratched, and ap- pears in the next race none the worse for his mishap.
 4 peculiar case in point was that which occurred at the Manhattan Beach track on July Is. During a race in which Owens, Barbo and Hicks, all we'll known men, were riding in a bunch, they came into collision with one an other, and the result was surprising 10 riders and spectators alike.
