The Bicycle Cr aze, Erro-
neously Termed.
EFFECT IT HAS UPON MANY
LINES OF BUSINESS.

Many people have attem pted to
cry down the bicycle, claiming that it
is consuming the spare change of the
rising generation. While it is an
acknowledged fact that an investment
in a bicycle has proved to be natures
own remedy in building a strong con-
stitution, it has served to keep many
young men out of the saloon and away
from bad company and evil influences
and spending his money at games of
chance and other well-known chan
nels.
1t also has instilled into the youth
lessons of economy and self-deniaI,
for the cost of bicycle is quite Il
large sum t. invest, IN fact it seems a
small fortune to young man OF poor
psrentage or in medium circumstances,
and to acquire the requisite amount
necessitates many economies and de-
privations which go far to building
up the manly aud noble young man,
and in justice to the wheel be it said
that it was happy day to the COM
munity in general when the skill of
man placed it in its present state OF
perfection.
Its effect upon many lines of COM
merce has been most marked. from
which has arisen much Of the unwar-
ranted and narrow opposition.
It's effect upon the livery business
was seemingly the first TO sbow in the
decreased demand for pleasure vehi-
cles, and following close upon this was
the street railways wall from their
loss of business, the bicycle superced-
mo the street car as means of trans
portation to and from their daily oc-
cupation.
It has preceptibly effected the watch
making industry and jewelry trade,
MANY purchasing the wheel in prefer
ence to watch or jewels.
The bicycle trade as an industry
now ranks as one giving employment,
10 more men than any other industry
and The amount Of capital invested is
almost beyond computation.

FALKS K RAYS.
Exhibited for the Benefit OF the
Arena Club.

Last night Mr.. H. L. F'alk gave
practical demonstration of his n rays
to the Arena Club, which had pee'
invited by him to investigate his sys'
tenn.
Quite a number Of the members
were present, and a committee, calieo
the investigating committee, was aP'
pointed, consisting of DR.. }. M. FER.
guson and Messrs. T. p. Flaherty, D.
P. Thornbury and L. G. Ferrall.
DR.. Ferguson's brain was first phot-
ographed, then the hand OF Miss bes.
sic Runnels, who claimed that she had
portion ofa needle in the flesh OF hef
hand. This however. did not appear
on the plate, which was explained oy
Mr.. Falk, who said that evidently the
bony structure of the hand interfered.
The next photograph taken was
that of the hand of DR.. Ferguson.
During the war DR.. Ferguson recelv-
ed a pistol wound in the hand, which
resulted in shattering the bones OF the
hand in such a manner that the
knuckle bones never assumed their
normal shape. Before submitting his
hand to be photographed, the doctor
secreted small watch key between
the second and third fingers, without
informing Mr.. Falk. This was IL
tended to be test of the genuineness
of the method used by Mr.. Falk.
The exposure was duly made, TAX
ing about twelve minutes, ana when
the plate was developed the peculiar
structure of the shattered bones of the
doctors hand came out perfectly, as
did the watch key, showing the shape
of the key in such manner that it
was possible to recognize the object

He Found HI, Pocke,.Rook.

A true story, but one stranger than
fiction, and hard to beat, is told and
endorsed by the Hartford Courant,
about the way in which a gentleman
recovered his lost pocket-book.
A gentleman from Philadelphia who
has been in Hartford on business lost
his pocket-book, containing seventy.
three dollars. a few evenings ago. He
made inquiries for 1t at places where
be had been, including the Opera
House cafe, where he had taken some
Of his meals. but did not find 1t. AS
he was walking down Main street, he
heard two men behind him talking.
Lets stop in the City Hotel and
have a Drink" said one. The other In
quired wrere the City Hotel was, and
his companion said It was a little way
down the street.
"An right" said the other, but have
the drink with me. Last night had
nothing and tonight / have seventy
three dollars"
The fact that the amount named
vas the amount the Philadelphia man
had lost attracted his notice, and he
turned around to see who was talking
He recognized the speaker as a man
he had known in Philadelphia.
Stepping aside, he let the two pass,
and followed them into the City Hotel
bar-room. Stepping up to the man who
said he had seventy three dollars, ne
said:
You have my pocket-book, and you
must hand It over. 1t Is a little red
book, and contains seventy-three dol
lars and ten-dollar Confederate bill"
The man Indignantly denied 1t. and
asked his accuser who he was that he
sLou.t. dare to make such n charge.
I'll tell you who am," he replied,
and I'll tell you who you are. You
were employed once in the Philadel-
phia postoffice, and arrested you for
stealing and selling stamps Now band
over the pocket-book or 1t WIN go hard
with you"
The fellow recognized his accuser,
and at once took the book out of his
pocket and returned IT to the owner,
none Of its contents having been dis
turbed.
