bicycling In Greece.
london Times.

Tha first bicycle was taken to Greece
many years ago by the king. Ills majesty
did not appear In public on It. as bicycles
were regarded by the natives as superuat-
ural and uncanny for many years. The
pioneer bicyclists OF Greece We're liable 10
many inconvenience and even dangers.
They were hooted and laughed at even in
the streets OF Athens. and were some
times stoned and thrown from their
wheels Even now the rustic generally
crosses himself and utters prayer when
a bicycle passes him.
Eight years ago the amusement COM
mencei in earnest In Athens. with the
founding of several clubs and It's adoption
by the leading Greeks. and the American
consul predicts craze for bicycling in
the near future. as members Of the royal
family and many OF the leading diploma
lists are enthusiastic bicyciists. The
greater part OF the country is suitable for
the exercise. and the consul sketches some
trfEs. including one TO Corinth along the
road skirting the sea. thence visiting Nau-
plia. Mycenae. Argos and Tiryns. The
climate. too, Is especially favorable. No
bicycles are manufactured as vet in
Greece. and the duty on those imported is
insignificant. Those most used are OF Eng
ilsh make. and a few from the United
States sold very rapidly. German cheap
machines seem 20 be regarded with DIS

The leaders of fashion are rapidly dis

downfall OF another society craze has be-

Mayfair before long.
This decline Of cycling In the softiest or

New York Evening Post
Compared with last year. road machine
gears have been raised this season about
Eve points: many men use seventy-two 70
eighty gears who formerly were satisfied
with fifty-elght TO sixty-thres. and many
women have tried sixsy-three with advan-
tage. Motives FOR the change are various
Some riders object TO moving their legs
very fast; others wish 20 travel quicker,
a few desire increased exercise, the ma
5ority probably merely follow examples.
With the higher gears those who do not
care for hard work use longer cranks 20
balance with additional leverage the ad-
ded resistance. Inquiry indicates that the
change has been found satisfactory IN
most cases. There is danger. however, OF
excess. The matter Is one for individual
Judgment based on actual experience, and
no one should be persuaded TO alter gear
that Is found suitable. merely because q
companion has different adjustment. IL
Is better 10 have too Httle than too much
strain. Some riders find II advantageous
to keep two rear sprockets and two SETS
OF cranks. one for short spins. another for
long runs. II. for Instance, a man rides
about. when he has an hour or two OF
leisure, in urban streets, where there are
few obstacles such as stiff hills. etc, with
a seventy-seyen gear and six and three
quarter or seventeen cranks, he will the
easier do fifty or seyenty-f1ve miles In the
country with a sixty-three gear and six
and a haif-inch crank. This arrangement
OF course gives him little advantage from
the high gear In the way OF speed. but the
probabilities are that the practice with the
high gear in the city Will enable him 10
take IL into the country after short time
Then he VIII find that instead OF doing
nine or ten miles an hour he viii do
eleven or twelve with less rather than
more effort The main objection 10 this
plan for novices is that their experience
OF the new power IS gained under the most
instead Of the least difficult circumstances;
the high gear Is not controlled as readily
as the low gear and In crowded streets
this is an element OF extreme Importance,
particularly IN estimating accurately the
distance covered with each revolution of
the pedal: an underestimate may cause
serious trouble. The factors TO consider
In determining gear are Ql general
strength. CD length of leg, 9 weight. A
strong man can usually drive a higher
gear than a man OF less strength; his
strength, however. may be more than
balanced by his greater weight. and both
may be influenced by his reach. Long legs
are ordinarily best fitted to high gears:
but they may not be suited TO long eranks,
because of extreme elevation of the knee
when the pedal is up. All these things
have TO be taken into account by each
rider. and he will find 1t advisable to de-
eide for himself by riding gears and
cranks on an ascending scale Some sales
men can judge a mans capabilities from
his appearance so as to ft him with a
wheel; the majority cannot. though all
OF them think they can. This Is a case
where the rule-o'thumb plan beats scien-
tifi- measurements and formulate all hol-
low.

Arguments In the Northern Pacific
suit at Milwaukee,

Milwaukee. July 2.-The properties OF
the Northern Pacific railroad win be sold
as contemplated next Saturday. unless
something decidedly unexpected happens.
AL the attorneys or the parties who have
agree upon the sale came TO Milwaukee
this afternoon. prepared to flght the mo-
ton for postponement, but we're greatly
surprised when, after the argument had
proceeded an hour or so. Joshua Stark. for
the complainants. stated that no attempt
would be made 20 interfere with the sale.
This statement made In reply 10 ques-
ton put by Judge Jenkins, astonished the
attorneys. Francis Lynde Stetson. attor-
ney for J. p. Morgan, SAID: We VIII be
very glad IL the gentleman viii tell US Just
what was wanted al this time Stark
said all he would ask was that the mana
gers under the reorganization be enJoined
from proceeding with the distribution OF
bonds as provided for by that plan. This
unexpected change OF front pleased the
attorneys greatly. Among the prominent
attorneys present were Wheeler III. Peck
ham. n. O. Armour. NJ. s. Patton, Col.
SIias Petit. Francis Lynde Stets3n. Vic
tor Norowitz. William Nelson Cromwell.
Receivers Bigeiow and McHenry were
present. with George Il. Miller as counsel.
Col. Pettlt late this afternoon fled an
answer for the Northern Pacific Company
denying the validity OF the claim presented
by the petitioners. lie read an amdavis
of Mr. Scott. comptroller OF the Northern
Pacific. alleging that the parties now COM
planning had been notified. az the time the
bonds were issued that the Northern Pa
cific Company was without the corporate
.wer 10 guarantees the bonds. and, fur
Their that the Seattle company was In
dehted TO the Northern Pacific for $l-3ts,-
900 L. and that the Northern Pacific Com
psEy had obtained Judgment for this
amount At this point Mr.. Peckham took
part in the proceedings by saying: That
doesn't affect u.s. meaning THAI the pres
enf action brought Is By the bondholders.
The affidavit also alleges that this prop
erty OF the Seattle company was worth
saver II million dollars more than the bond
holders bid for IT, As result OF the pur-
chase and the extinguishing OF the stock
