probable that the recent terrible fire in

was due to the explosion Of one of these

A DEALER who has had a long and va
ried experience in ceiling bicycles states
that he has learned not to consider the
weight of the rider as deserving a great
amount of attention. Heavy men he
thinks usually put bicycle to less
strain than lighter and more active
wheelmen. His notion that the mere
supporting of weight does not consti-
tute the real strain on the machine
seems plausible enough. Oh course, if
two riders, one heavy and the other
light, always rode at tee same speed the
heavyweight would use up his machine
first, but heavy riders, as rule, ride
much slower than light and middle
weights and it seems probable that this
dealer is right in thinking it unneces'
sary to recommend specially heavy
mounts for bis 200 pound customers

STRONG glass plates are bored through
by means OF rotating brass tubes of the
necessary diameter, which are filled with
water during boring. To the water there
is added finely pulverized emory. The
boring cylinder is put into motion by
means of drill or bow drill. Weaker
glass can be provided with holes in an
easier manner by pressing a disk OF wet
clay upon the glass and making hole
through the clay OF the width desired, so
that the glass is laid bare here. Then
molten lead is poured into the hole and
lead and glass drop down at once. This
method is based upon the quick, local
heating of the glass, whereby it obtains
a circular crack, the outline of which
corresponds to the outline Of the hole
made in the clay. The cutting OF glass
tubes, cylinders, etc., in the factories is
based upon the same principle, says g.

The telephone and the telegraph are
rapidly making inroads into the arid
portion of the desert of Sahara. Engi-
neer Bayolle is now On the way from
Biskra to Tuggurth with working
force of 100 men for the purpose of laying
telegraph wires between the two places.
The line is erected as the party pro-
ceeds, and the first news from Bayolle
was received at Biskra when he tele-
phoned from point some 20 miles south
Of Bskra. He advanced at the rate OF
from three to five miles a day, and will
probably reach Tuggurth about the first
OF theyear He reports over the 'phone
that he has met with a peculiar difficult !;
the camels which he has taken along are
not used to carrying burdens of long
shape like telegraph poles, and In many
oases they refuse to go on with their
loads. Since the cames will not carry
the poles when strapped alongside OF
them, he had to resort to the peculiar
mode of balancing the telegraph poles
across the pack saddles and fastening
them in this position by means CT straps
and ropes.
