Gle made several futile attempts to leap
the fence at the end. 1t failed, how
ever, and the genius, after several in
effectual trials succeeded in putting the
lever back to ''stop." In fit of absent
1nindedness he had shifted it to ''easy."
He led the machine back and began
explaining. breathlessly:
"Confound the thing" he growled; Il
only just touched the lever to see if it
was in proper order. and it went off.
Oh, for goodness sake. don't stand laugh
ing there like an idiot! / believe you are

When he had finished he said he would
not try the bicycle until eight o'clock.

I assented to the wisdom of this, and
said that then nobody would be about
if the thing ran away with him again.
He turned on me fiercely:
81 tell you l have the machine under
the most absolute, perfect control"
replied that this was obvious.
Tkereupon he completely lost his tenn :
per, and after making several unfound-
ed suggestions as to the condition OF my
mind, stalked into the house. How
ever, at tea he generously forgave me,
and became enthusiastic once more, ana
said he would write out an agreement
giving me third share in his inven-
ton before he went to bed-which
share represented, according to some
close and intricate calculations OF his,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1896-12-09

a capital sum of s24O.0OO. Then he
borrowed half sovereign from me for
couple of days, in the kindest possible
manner, and said he didn't mind me at
all, because he understood me, and
knew that there was not a bit of harm
in me.
The next morning met him as agreed.
The first trial of the machine was to
take place down the Chalk Hill, as it is
called. This is a steep, grassy incline,
with brick wall of about six feet in
height running along the bottom. He
was going to leap the wall; though, it
had been he, think l should have
chosen something softer than brick to
experiment on. ! did the best could.

on. l didn't tell the genius about my
foresight in this matter; he had such
wretched way of sitting on fellow.
l ought to mention here that the
genius is inclined to be stout; and,
moreover, he had not ridden a bicycle
for one or two years. These facts did
not appear to affect his confidence in
the least, and he came forth quite gaily
at eight o'clock, smiling broadly as he
wheeled his machine to the top of the
incline. Polly and | both came out to
see him. and he waved his hand to us
with an air of approaching victory. He
made one or two false starts before he
was fairly under way; but, in the ex-
element of the moment, he had not
noticed that a little boy with hoop
had trotted into the middle of the
course. If the genius had ridden

"Presosterous!" I calculated. "How
on earth are you to come down from
that height without smashing both the
machine and yourself?"
'There!" he cried, triumphantly, II
knew you'd say that. But have pre-.
pared for every contingency in this ma
chine; and l have not only been en-
tirely successful in overcoming the jar
caused by falling from great height,
but / have so arranged it that the very
impact of alighting stores up sufficient
force to make fresh jump.
Nothing can be simpler in action"
he continued, toying with the little lever
which regulated the leaping motion;
"the gentlest pressure suffices."

Cotton, corn and the cereals grow and are
raised in every section OF the state and in
the central and southern portions sugar
cane and sorghum are profitably cultivated.
On the Gulf Coast two and three crops Of
vegetables are raised each year. Berries are

grown.
