where BICYCLES Come From.

Where Bicycles Come From.
1t is a source of wonder where all the
bicycles comes from. A careful exam
ination of the catalogues show that
there are more than 1000 different
makes of bicycles on the market. At
some of these establishments as many
as loo, 600 wheels are made annually.
Practically there are no patents on
these machines, except on unimport-
ant specialities, and SO it is an easy
matter to pnt new wheel on the mar
ket. There is not SO much difference
in wheels as one is inclined to suppose.
Few manufacturers make a whole ma
chimes in their own shops, but by far
the larger number buy the parts from
some maker and simply put them to-
gether, finish them, give them a name
and put them on the market. For this
reason fully equipped bicycle manu-
facturer can be put in running order
for $1,000 or $4,000. Hundreds Of
wheels of different makes are produced,
every piece of which is turned out of
the same factory that furnishes the diff
ferent parts, and all that the manufac-
tory requires is good master mechan-
ic and some ordinary finishers and
workmen. The bicycle is not an ex-
pensive thing to build, and the differ
ence between the cost of the mount
and the price it is sold for is SO large
that the manufacture of wheels has
been enormously stimulated. But were
it not for costly sales rooms, extensive
advertising and large commissions to
agents the price of the wheel would be
very materially reduced to the pur-
chaser. It is estimated that during
the past spring snd summer at least l.
600, 900 wheels which have been sold in
this country alone. which has involved
an outlay Of $50. 900. 600 by the wheel
men of the United States, aud still the
demand is undated and bicycles ara
being marketed by thousands every
day. Il

During the last six presidential

that such clergymen may utter the
rest of their lives"
This statement was followed by a
reference to the depression now pre-
vailing throughout the country, and
he said that never within his memory
had 80 many people literally starved
to death as in the past few months"
He believed the country was better
off after every crisis, and that the
Almighty would settle the controversy

MEXICO, Mo-. Sept, e5.-The Mis-
souri, military academy, Situated about
mile south Of here, was burned to
the ground yesterday morning, caus-
ing 4 loss Of SIS. O0J to the building
and considerable loss in personal
property of cadets. with insurance OF
only $4,000.
One hundred students were in the
building when the fire broke out, and.
while no lives were lost, many of
them had narrow esca pes and received
injuries more or less serious.
The fire started in the east wing of
the building, which was a substantial
three-stOry structure of brick, and be-
fore the boys could be alarmed, had
destroyed all of the central corridors,
cutting off the stairways from the
cadets.
Cadet Clopton. son of the United
States district attorney at st. Louis,
was awakened by the smoke and
sounded the fire call on his bugle,
arOusing his sleeping comrades With
the help of Cadet w. Il. Austin of
Carro:ltou he succeeded in helping
several of his frightened and almost
helpless cornrads out of the burning
building.
Captain Glasscock and Lieutenant
Goode, U. S. A., ran from room to
room at the peril of their lives, get
ting out the students who had not
been awakened by the bugle call.
Cadet Captain Rolla McIntire was
taken out by Lieutenant Goode, who
was compelled to jump with him from
a third story window.
When the boys sleeping in the Sec
Ond and third stories of the building
realized that the structure was on
fire, ell escape by way of the stairs
was cut off and they were compelled
to jump from the windows. There
was no hesitation on the part of the
older boys, who were almost COM
PEELED to force their younger COM
rades to make the leap.
