There are only two things that hurt

that a bicyclst has been killed feel /

lalmost equivalent to a serious accident.
Lexington avenue, which has been al
ways q favorite route for brewery wag-
ons, is another place to avoid The
drivers of these wagons have been long
noted for their recklessness. There is
a fortune awaiting the man who can
devise some scheme to put a stop to the
cutting Of prices. The regular trade
discount on wheels averages As per
cent The small dealers pledge them
selves no, to sell below the catalogue
price. but competition Is so keen that
one can bay q wheel anywhere for one
quarter Off The result Is that dealers
are complaining 20 the manufacturers
against each other an tho time. What
seems the most probable solution Of
this problem is that some firm will put
a good wheel on tho market at such a
low price that the big trade discounts
win be at an end The biggest cut
has been in the prices charged for sun
dries. Before tho department stores be

A Long Slide.

A system of rapid transit transpor-
tation is in use in California, which
for cheapness of operating expense is
probably the lowest in the country,
dcspite the fact that the cost of con-
struction was very high. says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. A lumber company
in Fresno county, California, has built
a lumber tiume tifty-twO miles long,
| which in places has a grade OF 70 per
| cent. and which crosses a suspension
| bridge 451 feet long, something on the
| plan of the great suspension bridges
| across the Niagara gorge. The hume
is V-shaped, and, strange to say, in adj
dition. to carrying lumber, is utilized
for the transportation OF passengers
one way-6or, like the road to ruin
in old temperance books, the line only
run II way, and that down. n
boat in which the passengers travel,
or perhaps it would be better to say
shoot, is a V-shaped box about sixteen
feet long, and which is roughly knocked
together with boards, since its good
for one trip only" The front end OF
the strange craft is left off. as the We
locity of the water is so great, despite
the speed of the boat, it does not run
back into it. Preparatory to the trip
a plank is placed along the bottom
on which the passenger rests his feet
while sitting single file on cross seats
When all is ready the spikes by whicf
the boat is held while loading are pun
ed out. and away it goes on its nifty
two-milc journey, in some cases at
tanning the terrific velocity OF seventy
miles per hour.
