WILL SUPERSEoE THE BICYCLE.
fifteen Miles an Hour Can Be Attained
on Pneumatic Skates.

A new form OF locomotion has boen intro-
luced through the medium of the pneumatic
ioad skate. This skate is in the form of u
miniature bicycle for each foot. Attached
o it is support for the ankle. and below
he sole are two pneumatic wheels of about
.hree and a half inches diameter. Ii is
,iaimed that it gives any person a speed Of
rom ten to fifteen miles an hour after but
little practice, and much higher speed can be
obtained by experts.
The skate can be used on a rough road, up
and down hill, and on all ordinary and
Imooth surfaces. It is proposed to apply
1 to nearly every purpose for which bicycles
have hitherto been used, as 1t offers cheap
Ind easy means OF locomotion for postmen,
iarriers and numerous other persons, in
:luding country doctors and clergymen. 1t
8 well adapted to the purposes of pleasure
Ieekers and tourists, and. In crowded thor
,ughfares, 1t entails the minimum risk of ao-
hdent or hindrance by traffic.
A champion figure skater states that il ID
much less cumbersome than the bicycle, and
Is motion gives even more pleasure to ths
wearer. Uphill work is effected with less
sxertion than with the bicycle. and In going
lown hill there is not the slightest danger OF
.osing control of the feet. All the skater
has to do to preserve complete command OF
himself being to slightly cross the rear foot.
1t Is believed that this skate will meet the
teeds Of many persons who are deferred by
nervousness from riding on the bicycle.

!Agassi1's Test.

! 1t Is said that however widely Pro-
fessor Agassiz, the famous zoologist,
might differ In his opinions from an
other scientist, he never uldervalued
any contribution which a scientific op
ponent made to zoology.
He extended the fame Of Owen, the
eminent English xoologist, in this coun-
try, by enthusiastically pointing out to
all questioners his grounds for n sim
cere admiration of that scientist, and it
was only by chance that his auditors
learned how widely Agassiz's opinions
differed from Owens on certain much
disputed questions.
But for amateurs who took facts at
secondhand, and built up systems by
combining the discoveries Of various
specialists in science, he had a some
what contemptuous Indifference. One
of his friends asked him on one occa-
sion how he felt about the attack which
had been made on his scientific posi-
ton by a certain accomplished scholar
who had studied the different theories
advanced by eminent biologists, and
had decided that Agassiz must be rank
ed in the second class.
To the amazement of his friend, who
regarded the attack az q matter Of con.
siderable seriousness, Agassiz burst
forth into a roar of laughter.
"Why, Just think Of itr' he cried.
The man undertakes to M my place
among biologists, and he Is not him.

his friend did not apparently appreciate
