BICYCLE PATHS.

A.; Ordinarily Made TheyaDo Not Cost
Much Money.
As commonly made, Cycle paths are
not expensive, and, the cost being gen.
orally contributed by tho wheelmen
themselves, no tax for this purpose is
placed upon the public at large.
Whether this should be so is q question
that will stand some discussion; tut
thus far the cyclists have sought only
to impose q small assessment upon
actual users Of the wheel when money
has been needed to construct Cycle
paths. Two years ago Mr.. Charles T.
Raymond, of Lockport, N. Y, one Of
the pioneers in oycle-path construction.
declared that what is used by all, and
needed by all, should be paid by ell"
and this rule has commanded approval
among wheelmen who have taken up
the work Of cycle-path making.
Under favorable conditions, cycle
paths cost from S75 to $3.50 per mile.
The surface width of tho path should
not be less than four feet, and need not
be more than seven feet. except in rare
cases. The PARIS are generally laid out
on the grass-grown roadside, parallel
with the wagonway. The grass is first
cut close to the ground, after which
the material (soft coal, cinders, or
screened graveD is put on in a thin
layer, and so shaped and packed as to
slope downward from the center to
each side.
The grade in most cases follows close
iy the original surface of the ground.
Material may generally DO had at lower
cost, and hauled at less expense, dur
ing the winter months; and this is an
important point to bear In mind, since
the item of haulsse alone is likely to
constitute more than half the expense
of construction.-Isaac B. Potter, Chief
Consul, League of American Wheelmen,

Asthma is term often applied TO any
OF the various conditions associated with
Shortness of breath. Properly, how
ever. its use should be limited to the
true affection of the breathing ap-
paratus-bronchial or spasnodic asth-
ma, as it is called.
= All authorities. while differing as to
the exact origin of the disease, agree
that in the majority of cases there is an
accompanying nervous condition.
The tendency of asthma to run in
families, particularly in those showing
an irritable OF unstable nervous tenn
permanent. has beer frequently noticed.
The attacks may even be associated with
neuralgia or other nervous disturb
ances.
The tenacity Of the disease, some
times beginning in early childhood and
lasting till old age, is well known. Men
are more frequently affected thar
women
The causes which may excite paFox-
ysm Of asthma are as extraordinary a.
they are numerous. Conditions Of cli-
mate or atmosphere are among the most
important. Sudden changes of tenn
perature or removal to a strange eli
mate will often bring on the disease.
Confinement, especially in room
which il ill-ventilated or dusty. may
be the cause. In some persons various
odors OF flowers or hay will at cnce
cause an outbreak. Fright or violent
emotion of any sort may bring on a
paroXysm. Chronic cases, in which the
attacks occur year after year. gradual

that every fresh cold brings on an at
tack.
Particular attention should be paid
to the diet of asthmatic patients The
heavier meals should be taken IN tho
earlier part Of the day. so that the Com
ach may be nearly empty before bed
time; and as attacks OF the disease arc
often induced by fatulency, starchy
foods should be prohibited.
If possible, the sufferer from asthma
should seek TO find a suitable climate,
although It is difficult to lay down any
rules to this end. In general, high and
dry attitudes are the most beneficial

The fire department of the city of
Boston has done a wise thing in tell
Ing the public why it need not be the
least afraid of ordinary n;shaps that
are likely to befall an electric car. In
view Of the large number of accidents
that have occurred on trolley lines.
snd the alarm that is often created
among passengers when certain things
take place that are inevitable and
others that are not, the FIRE department
has published a plain statement con-
corning possible contingencies which
should 60 far to reduce future panics.
There are four things that are sure
to happen now and again to the cleo
trical equipment of a street railway:
The melting of fuse metals. the burn

sulation of wires under the floors or on
the roofs of cars, and the breaking and
melting OF trolley wires.
In none of these cases is there the
slightest fear of danger 10 the passen-
ger if he keep perfectly calm. The fuse
metal would not perform its proper
function if it did not melt ct the proper
time. and thus prevent burning out
OF the mcter. Often the fuse goes of
