wise has to be counteracted: while with
the stills as they terminate in very small
ends, the body can tip in any direction:
But the silt walker can balance hlmself
without difficulty, because no matter IN
what direction he may incline he can keep
the stills under tho body by simply step
ping in that direction.
How these principles apply to the act OF
balancing a bicycle can be readily ex-
planned by the aid of the accompanying
figures. ss sH
Suppose the rider shown in Figure l, is
required to keep the wheel on the straight
line A. Itsis eyidept then, that when ne
begins to incline to one side, as shown by
the dotted lines in Figtlre 2, ne can only
restore the balance by throwing the BODY
in the opposite direction; and that he
must throw It far enough beyond the up
right line A b. to equalize the weight on
both sides. This, at once shows that IL ne
should allow himself to- tip over as far as
shown force sof gravity begins to draw
the heavy side down to the ground, just as
It would II the hoop were not in motion.
But the momentum of the hoop, acquired
on account of it's velocity, tends to keep 1t
moving In a straight line; therefore, there
are two forces acting, against each other,
and the result is that The hoop leans over
and begins to run in a curved path. This
curve grows smaller, because the force
OF gravity remains unchanged, While the
momentum gradually dies out; conse-
quently as the former slowly gains the
mastery over the latter the weight Is

Monsegnod Diomede Falconio is the pa
pal delegate appointed 10 succeed Cardi-
nal satolli in this country. Mgr. Falconio
Is an American citizen, though an arch
bishop in foreign land. He voted in this
country in the election OF 1872 He is a
member of the reformed branch Of the
Franciscan order, and speaks English as
well as he does his native tongue. Ac-
cording to Father Anacletus, who is now
at the head of the Franciscan order in
New York city, the rapid promotion OF
Monsgnor Falconio Is without precedent
in recent years. But a comparatively
few years ago he was an humble mis-
sionary in the slums OF Thompson and
Bleecker streets, but even then he show
ed signs of much ability.
IT was in the little town OF Precocos-
tanza, near Aquila, in the province of Alb
bruzzi. Italy, about fifty-five years ago,
that the prelate was born. When IS years
old he Joined the Franciscan order in
that province. After three years he
went to Rome, and continued his studies
there. The administrator general of the
order, IN q circular letter, asked the stu
dents at Rome II they desired 20 go to
America. Mgr. Falconio and Father Ana
cletus wished to go, and they and FIVE
others soon sailed.
The young missionaries landed in New
York on Sept. 3, 1855 Falconio was too

young for ordination, so he entered st.
Bonaventure's College, Allegany, n. Y.
He was ordained at Olean by Bishop IT,
mon, of Buffalo Later he taught theology
in the college, and thSn became its presI-
dent. Two years later, in obedience to
the orders of the administrator general,
he and Anacetus went to Winsted, Conn.,,
but before going Falconio took out his first
citizenship papers in Little Valley, near
Allegany. From Winsted Falconio went
to Havre de Grace, Newfoundland, where
he labored under Bishop Garfagini for
several years as vicar general of the do
cese.
His next field of work was in New York
city. For five months he was an assist
ant in the Church st. Anthony Of Padua,
OF which his old friend, Father AnacIe-
tus, was pastor, and only ceased to labor
here when he was ordered to the Alle-
gany College as president. His aged faith
1885, visited his old home again. He never
returned. On the other side he was elect
ed provincial of the order in his nativo
province, and was reelected when his
first term expired. So we'll did he perform
the duties assigned to him that at a
chapter of the order held in Rome in 1883
the provincial was made procurator gen.
eral.
1t was at this time that the attention
of the pope was directed toward Falconio's
work. The result was the priests eleva-
ton to the see of Lacedonia, Italy. He
had been bishop only three years when he
was appointed by the pope archbishop OF
the two achdioceses of Aceranza and
Matera. This is Mgr. Falconio's present
position in the church.

X GRoMlNG coNFIpENCE.

The oldest drummer that makes reg ular trips to Ansonia is Charles Linds- ley whose home is in West Haven. Mr Lindsley lacks but few months of being eighty two years of age and is as hale and hearty as are usually men of sixty and sixty-five. He was in the city, to-day, and stated that he had just returned from an extended trip through the states of Pennsylvania and New York. He was as far west as Pittsburg, covering the entire central portion of the state. Politics were booming wherever he went but the dis cussion was as to how large the major ities for Mckinley and Hobart in the states would be. He found that the feeling of confidence among the mer- chants and manufacturers was grow ing, and that they thought that if the election went as they anticipated, bust ness would be booming by January, 1897. Orders were much more numer- ous than on his preceding trip, and he received many that are now called large orders. Few people think while in conversation with MT. Lindsley that they are talking with man past four score years of age.-Ansonia Sentinel.

Then when he gets through with me, hears they wants people about my size at your ward school here, or institute, or whatever it is, and I brings me shape and comes over; so I strikes it soft again, and I been a-comin' ever since.

 Besides posing at the Art Institute, many of the people who go there also serve as models at private studios in town; so that good model who is very shrewd about playing his cards and pulling the strings can in a short time have a number of different sources to depend on for his or her revenue
 In a short time posing becomes very prosaic for both the models and the students. The interest and curiosity of outsiders are very often completely for gotten and occasionally in some of the class rooms doors from the hallway are left open, and consequently an oc- casional sensation Is created among people who happen to be passing by Chicago Chronicle.

TALE DEFEATS ORANGE.

The Varsity Teams Success-12 to O.
 Other Football Games Saturday-The
 Tennis Tournaments Result.
 Yale defeated the Orange Athletic club team at the Orange Oval, Newark, Saturday, by score of 12 to 0.
 This was Yale's first game this sea- son in that vicinity and a crowd of about 2,5O0 spectators witnessed the game.
 The Orange men went through the Yale, line easily, Bass, Rodgers and Chadwick seeming to be the weak end. Chamberlain easily outplayed Mohor at center.
 Yale was very weak back of the line. Hinkey at full-back put up an unsatis- factory game and was replaced in the second half by Chauncey and with but little improvement.
 Ely and Girard, the two quarter backs played a very ordinary game. In the second half Girard fumbled and made poor passes, so that Orange broke through the line and the ball was downed with loss to Yale.
 Van Every played the best game back of the line and invariably made gains when sent either through the line or around the ends.
 Benjamin. too, Is fairly good man and Goodwin, who took his place in the second half, is a swift runner.
 As whole the Yale teams work was disappointing.
 The teams lined up as follows:
 Yale-Bass, left end; Rodgers, left tackle; Chadwick, left guard; Cham berlain, center; Murray, right guard; Murphy, right tackle; Connor, right end; Ely quarter back; Benjamin, left half back; Van Every, right half back; Hinkey, full back.
 Orange-Collamore left end; Sutphin, left tackle; Lancon, left guard; Mohor, center; Buck, right guard; Marshall, right tackle; Kyle, right end; Thomas. quarter back; Brown, left half back; Maynard, right half back; Bird, full back
 IRVINGS THE VICTORS.
 The football field at Eastern Park, Brooklyn, was the scene of a pretty contest between the Irving club eleven of Brooklyn and the Yale consolidated team Saturday afternoon The result was a victory for the r~ing club by the score of F points to O. The Yale team outweighed the Irv- ing, but was weaker in the center and at right end. The Irving backs bucked the center repeatedly for large gains, l and found little difficulty in sailing round right end for ten and fifteen yards at a time.
 Cassel Burt, a former star in the fir u1ament of Princeton college football, was a tower of strength to the Irving ftas, and clearly Outpunted the Yale fujl-back at every point The features of the game were the !! splendid run of sixty-five yards made by Romig in the first half, and by Mur- phy of Twenty-Five yards in the sec l ond. both resulting in touchdowns and | goals
 Romig's run was a sensational sprinting match, in which the fleet
