Smallest Wheel Yet,

The tILiest bicycle IN the world, for
practical use, has just been ordered by
Count Magre, the two and hall foot
Italian nobleman, who married the
widow of General Tom Thumb, eleven
years ago. The liliputian wheel 10 to
be made of the finest materials and to
cost $3.50. One OF the reasons for this
high price Is the fact that all the parts
will haveto be especially designed.
The frame win be twelve inches high,
and the diameter CT the wheel fourteen
inches. The entire affair will weigh
less than ten pounds. The expense Of
this luxury at first almost determined
the diminutive nobleman to deny to
himself the pleasure Of wheeling, but
his wife persuaded him to order It.
The count is forty y-seven years old. His
wife exercises great influence over him.
Mrs. General Tom Thumb still retains
her name in public, and she is enthu-
siastic on the subject OF bicycling. At
the time the count placed his order
few general inquiries were made as to
the cost of a wheel Of similar design for
a lady. The Tom Thumb troupe IS at.
present travelling through Indiana.

The shareholders of the Manchester

poets of the famous waterway, and uh-
less matters mend soon, proposition

city council by the ship canal cor
poration states that the canal is now
losing the enormous sum of $26,J
per week, and that it viii require
more than five times the present sea-
going traffic through the canal to pay
its working expenses. Ominons ru-
mors are afioat concerning the alleged
gross mismanagement Of the COM
pany,s affairs and frequent hints are
heard In commercial circles IN regard
to the big fees received by the direct
ors. In London financial circies the
enterprise is spoken OF as likely to
