At netting of the executive committee
If the National Board of Trade, held in
New York on Tuesday, it was decided to
hold one show in Chicago and another in
some Eastern city" The Eastern show
Madison Square Garden. New York, but,
owing to the fact that the garden manage
ment has this year demanded an enorm Gus
rental, the authorities are looking about
sor another place. The following resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the entire subject OF
holding the Eastern national cycle show,
including the dates therefor, shall be and
is hereby referred to the president, with
full power to do any act or thing in relation
thereto that ne may deem for the best in-
se-est of the stockholders and members Of
the Cycle Board of Trade.
Resolved further, That it is the sense
of tr'S meeting that if the president should
fail to secure Madison Square Garden upon
terms satisfactory to him for the Eastern
national cycle show, then he may secure,
II possible to do so. such other building in.
New York city as lie shall regard suitable
for this purpose, if such other building
eau be secured upon terms satisfactory to
him.
"Resolved, further. That, if in the judg-
ment of the president no suitable building
can be secured in New York city upon terms
satisfactory to him for the holding of the
Eastern National Cycle Show then he ma V
secure such other building in such other
Eastern city as he shall consider for the best
interest Of the Stockholders and members of
the Cycle Beard of Trade"
This is good news to the Associated yelling
Clubs, the officials of which have, for the
past three weeks, been making every effort
TO secure the big exhibition for this city. hav
ing obtained n refusal OF the new Coliseum

streets for the show. Aside from the Mati-
son Square Garden, there is no building in
the East so well suited for the purpose as
the new building will be, and the A. c. c.,
adherins to its policy in the earlier shows,
would make the question of profit secondary
to that of fair treatment of exhibitors and
the general good of the sport.

DELICATE PRINTS ON IRON.

II Is curious fact that has often been
proven by actual experiment, that a
delicate fern or other leaf may be
placed between two blocks of iron and
leave a plain impression of every rib
and fiber of itself left on the hard sur
face Of the iron plates after they have
been driven suddenly together by the
explosion of a stick of dynamite. An
other experiment in this line and one
equally curious is made with smooth
block of iron or steel and cake OF
compressed gllnpowder. A delicate
piece Of lace is placed on the metal
surface and the disk of powder is laid
on top of the fabric When the powder
is detoned the lace will be utterly an
initiated. but its impression will be
clearly left on the metal.

whose attachments are nothing short Of
marvellous, and the tens Of thousands
who have become interested in her,
will be pleased to learn of the remark
able progress she has been making
within the last year. Not only does
she use her voice constantly in com
municating with those about her. but
she has reached the stage where those
v no wish to talk with her speak to her
as they would to any one in full pos
session of all his senses. Miss Keller no
longer uses her fingers TO talk to others
She uses them now in conversation
simply to listen to others who speak to
her BY placing her fingers on the lips
and throat of those who are talking to
her she not only almost instantly
hears" words that are difficult to pro-
noGnce clearly, but she is also enabled
to detect the various shadings of vowel
sounds that many persons, even with
keenly developed ear cannot pronounce
after eacher.-Demorest' Magazine.

A BRAVE BERLIN MAID.
She Actually Rode on Top of Tram
car Alone.

The new woman Of Germany Is a
very harmless being, familiar to us now
for years at any rate, If she aspires no
higher than the young lady whose do
ings are immortalized by the Jewish
Chronicle. A Berlin correspondent of
this paper writes: ION my way from
the Ieipziger Strasse to the Exhibition,
while sitting on the top of a tramcar,
young lady of some seventeen sum-
mers, with fine, intelligent and unmis-
takably Jewish face, came on and sat
as maiden never blushed before, and
my curiosity was aroused to its highest
point when | noticed every person on
the car stare at her with smile of
appreciation. Nay, more, on the route
people stopped and looked at her. Men
raised their hats and women waved
their handkerchiefs. Indeed, children
looked through the windows and kept
their eyes on the top of my tram till
they cou see it no more. What could
all this mean? That the young Jewess
at my side was the woman of the hour,
u person WHOHl all Berlin was lQOllZlLS,
thorough appreciation and heartfelt
gratitude, was patent to all who had
eyes to see What, then, was her heroic
deed? Why did every person on the
car say most cordially 'Ich gratuliere
linen, Fraulein,' when the lady was
about to descend?
The solution of the mystery vas as
singular as it was amusing. 1t had, by
the vigorous laws and customs of the
Teutons, been denied until the morning
in question to the fair sex to ascend
steps of an omnibus or tramear
throughout the length and breadth of
Germany. But at length the ladies had
their way-as ladies always willard
the great privilege was reserved for me
to sit beside the young Jewess whose
name ought to be handed down to
posterity as most probably the first
female in Germany who was bold
enough to ascend the steps of tram
car
