Mankind's Discovery of New
Power.

It is an error TO call bicycling
a scraze. It is something very
different from that. The simple
fact is that the human race has
discovered a new power for its own
use. From the earliest dawn Of
civilization man has been expert,
menting with the wheel which he
invented to increase his powers Of
locomotion, says ]. B. Bishop in
the Forum. Finally he has hit
upon a device which makes his own
body the source of power. He has
placed wheels upon his feet, and,
as result, finds his powers Of
locomotion multiplied by five and
even ten. Instead of walking five
or ten miles with more or less eff
fort and fatigue, he finds himself
travelling ten, twenty, fifty, and
and even a hundred miles, ac-
cording to his physical vigor and
experience, with little perceptible
fatigue and with a most delightful
sense Of animation. He has be-
come masler Of his new power
the most valuable he has acquired
since he learned to walk-and it
is henceforth a part Of his equip
ment for his struggle with life. Is
it probable that having once be-
come possessor Of a power likethis
the human race is going to aban.
