NOVEL BICYCLE BOAT.
Unique Mechanical Combination
Devised by a Californian.
The Strange Craft Goes Eight Miles an
Hour = 1t Has Weathered Rough
Water and Can Turn Around
In Its Own Length.

A bicycle that really goes to sea just
like boat, that carries its rider safely
through storm or calm, that floats like
a duck and turns in its own length, is
the invention of San Francisco man.
Many Inventors claim TO have made
water bicycles. but they are usually
useful only as sources of amusement to
the readers of journals of humorous
nature. The aquacycle which Capt.
Colin Thompson has built. however, is,
according to the New York Herald, not
one of this kind, for it exists and has al
ready carried its maker out to sea, and,
what is still better, has brought him
safely back.
This bicycle" or aquatic wheel,
combines features of the racing yacht,
the bicycle ard the steam launch. 1t
has the propeller, rudder and machin-
cry of the launch; the lines, hull and
build of the yacht, and the complete
workings of the bicycle. all combined.
Capt. Thompson is well-known char
acter in San Francisco, and what he
does not know about cogs, shafts and
wheel fixtures in general could be writ
ten in very small space.
He has succeeded in applying the mo-
tive power of The bicycle to the frame of
boat, and the combination makes the
aquacycle. On the outside this craft,
or vehicle, looks as much like naphtha
launch as anything else. The lines of
the hull follow very nearly those of the
most modern racing yachts, notably the
Defender. At either end of the hull is
an alright compartment, which gives
additional buoyancy to the affair. In
place of a rear wheel Capt. Thompson
has a three blade, siX-inch propeller,
and above that rudder.
Above the gunwale is an ordinary
saddle such as is common to all land
cycles. handle. bar serves as tiller
and the propeller is worked by the
pedals. AS the pedals are moved around
they start set of cog wheels, which in
turn revolve the propeller shaft, and
the three-blade six-inch propeller at the
stern is sent revolving at the rate of
40 revolutions per minute. At this rate

BICYCLE BOAT UPON RESTS.

the craft will go eight and half miles
an nour, ana the inventor claims that
with few alterations the speed can be
brought up to IL miles an hour. The
hull of the boat is IL feet inches in
length and feet inches in breadth.
Her greatest draught is IA inches. All
of the machinery runs on ball bearings,
and there is the least possible amount
of friction.
AS the rider sits on the machine
about one-half of the body is above the
gunwale. The pedals, acting on the
cog wheel, which in turn operates the
propeller, are down within what in a
larger boat would be termed the fin.
There is no sprocket and chain, but in
stead a series of beveled wheels con-
Meeting with the propeller shaft.
1t has been demonstrated by practical
tests that his combination craft can be
used in almost any sort of weather.
The air tanks at either end give it a
buoyancy which reduces the danger Of
sinking almost to a minimum, and at
the same time materially aids the rider
in maintaining his position. This craft
can turn in its own length, and while
it can be used, as has been demon
strated, in almost any kind of weather,
it is particularly adapted for use on
inland water.
1t can be loaded as heavily as any Or
binary canoe, and the method of pro-
pulsion is much less fatiguing than
either paddle or oars. There is no
complicated machinery to get out of
order, no gasoline or naphtha engine
to care for and supply, and it is for this
reason as much as any other that Capt.
Thompson claims to have evolved
craft of material value to inland hunt
ers and sportsmen. as well as to those
who have occasion to put off shore in
all sorts of weather.
In addition to it's many other unique
features the entire machinery of the
boat can be taken out and so compact
ly folded that it may be carried under
ones arm, while the hull itself is so
compactly folded that it may be car
ried around like any portage ordinarily
used by trappers or hunters.
Capt. Thompson is now at work try
ing to simplify some of the machinery
of the craft, and he claims that when he
accomplishes this he will have a craft
which can, without undue exertion, be
pedaled through the water at the rate
of Is miles an hour, with very little ex-
ertion to the rider. -.

TWO GIRLS TREED BY A BULL.
Exciting Experience by Wheelwomen In
New York State.

The proximity of friendly tree in
which they took refuge was all that
saved Violet and Louise Jordan from
being gored to death by bull at Cor
ton, n. Y, the other day. They were
riding their bicycles through a field
in which cattle were feeding when &
large bull gave chase. Just as the ami
NAL was about to overtake them they
sprang from their wheels and scram-
bled into large tree. The bull raved
furiously about the tree for few mo.
ments in an attempt to reach them, and
then tossed the wheels about until they
were badly wrecked. The animal
finally lay down underneath the tree
and the frightened young women were
compelled to remain among the branch
es for several hours, suffering severely
from the cold. They were rescued by
their father.

The man who in few short years works
himself to death for the sake of his family
commits a most foolish sin. Nothing IN
this world is ever gained by being in too
big hurry. The man who takes things
reasonably slow and easy comes out ahead
in the long run, lives long, enjoyable life,
and leaves a competence for his family.
Moreover, men who take the right care of
their health, can safely do double the
amount of work that unhealthy men can
stand. The man who neglects his health
and overworks is blowing a furrow with
death at the plowhandles.

They had to move out of the way to
give us room. to stay, there, and that
was about all they would do. Their
nests were everywhere, and there were
eggs in abundance. We ate about a
barrel of them every day during the Il
days we were there. Some of US got OF
in a boat and went to San Juan, in
Nicaragua, where we got vessel to go
after those we left on the reef. That
vessel was commanded by William
Lawrence, of Bath. who was killed by a
man named Wilkinson while he was a
policeman there. We tried to get to the

had to set in for New Orleans, where
