TRAM-CAR MYSTERY.

Its Solution Was as singular ms II Was
Amusing.
On my way from Leipziger Strasse to
the eHhioltion, while sitting on top of u
tram car, young lady of some II sum-
mers, with fine, intellectual and unmis-
! takapiy jewish face, came on and sat
herself beside me, saws a correspondent of
the London Telegraph. The maiden
Dlusheo as maidens never blushed before,
ana my curiosity was aroused to the
hlghest point when Il noticed every per-
son on the car stare at her with smile
OF approbation. Nay, more, on the route
people stopped and looked at her. Men
raised their hats and women raised their
hanukercnleis Indeed, children looked
through the windows and kept their eyes
fixei on the top OF my tram until they
could see it no longer. What could all
this mean? That the Young Jewess MT

son whom Berlin was idolizing, n public
benefactress to whom the denizens of the
capital were giving evidence of their
thorough appreciation and heartfelt graf

see. what, then was her heroic deed?
why did every person on the car say most
cordially: "Ich gratuliere linen, frau
lien, " when the lady was about to de-
scend?
The solution of the mystery was as sin
gular as it was amusing. 1t had, by the
vigorous laws ald customs of the Teu-
tons, been denied, until the morning in

steps of an omnibus or tram car through

A BICYCLE STOP THIEF.
Queer Scheme of an Enthusiast Who
Fears the Wheel SteaIer.

FearS the Wheel Stealer.
The popularity of the bicycles in all
classes of society has been the means to-
ward the development of many and varied
Inventions appertaining to the two
wheeler. The device suggested by young
bicycle enthusiast who had the misfor.
tune recently to lose his bicycle, which
he had left in front of an office building,
has the novelty of being absolutely orig
inal and also to putting to practical use
one of Wizard Edison's most complicated
inventions
This device he has named the 'sbicycle
stop thief and if the apparatus works
as the young inventor intends that it can
be made to do it will do away almost en-
tirely with bicycle thefts. The young
man has affixed n miniature monograph
to his bicycle, directly under the saddle.
The phonograph is enclosed in square
box, and the apparatus only weighs 2 1-2
pounds. In the center of the box is the
tin foil cell, upon which he has imprinted
the words, "stop thief" many times A
wire connects with the rear wheel of the
bicycle, and with that the apparatus is
complete.
When the young man enters building
he presses Il button and his thief catcher
is set. When the thief, who is always
near by, takes advantage of any careless
person leaving Il bicycle on the sidewalk,
jumps into the. saddle and starts to ride
away, he is stopped by voice, which ap-
parently shouts behind bin, ''stop thief,
stop thiefn' The faster he rides the
wheel the louder the voice pursues him,
until finally the thief Sin disgust vaults
of the wheel and leaves it to it's fate A
pressure of button by the owner and
the mechanism is detached, and the
wheel runs smoothly. The young inven-
tor intends to apply for II patent rs soon
as the contrivance is perfected. New
