A search-Light On New orleans.

The United States man-of- war Raleigh
which slipped up to New Orleans few
days ago, gave the city surprise with
its search-Iight, one of the most power
full in the navy, and greatly puzzled
and disturbed those who did not go to
the Chicago Exposition or failed to sec
the search-ights there. A number Of
"baclz-of-town" residents brought in,
the first night, sensational reports of a
very peculiar and brilliant light which
they had observed in various places,
even on the prairies and swamps
around the city. Mr.. Pickwick's scien-
tifc old gentlemen who discovered the
meteor at Bristol was not half as much
surprised as hundreds of Orleanians a

Wheels as Beasts of Burden.

When bicyle carries man weigh
ing at least 1S5 pounds, large bundle
of wall paper, collapsible table, such
as is used by paper hangers, filed
dinner pail and kit Of tools, it
might properly be called a beast Of
burden" This is what 22-pound BIZ
cycle transported over the granite
blocks of the streets of the business
center a few days ago. Those who
saw the nd did not know whether to
admire most the stanch little wheel or
the ingenuity displayed by the wheel
man in arranging and balancing mis-
mixed burden. The paper hanger, who
Eedaled through the streets with his
paper and tools, had his rolls of wall
paper hanging in sling from his
shoulder. His table was strapped to
the horizontal tube of the bicycle
frame with one end sticking two feet
beyond the handlebar. His dinner pail
was tied securely to the handle bar
and his kit of tools was hung N front
directly over the forward wheel. Ap-
parently he was in no wise inconvenl-
enced by the load, nor did the table
seem to interfere with his pedaling.

turned the trade of nations within the

folks who rode it feather brains.
Today those same serious people have
recalled their capital from worldwide
enterprises and started it anew in the
bicycle business to save themselves
from commercial shipwreck. The
