sportsmen object to these innovations.
They claim that the athlete should not bo

The horse has no right to the record, if

receive $50, 600 from it. The Fatal Card
paid its authors $50, 600. Sydney Grundy
got $75, 600 out of Sowing the Wind dur
ing the time that the Empire theater stock
company found it profitable. Henry Ar
thur Jones American royalties from The
Masqueraders' amounted to $40, 900, and
Bison and Carre got $50, 900 of the money
that John, Drew played to while he was
appearing in The Masked Ball.
Bronson Towards royalties for Arts
tocracy' exceeded $50, 600, and before the
usefulness OF the The Sporting Duchess
is at an end its authors will have received
from me fully 800, 600. None of the plays
/ have mentioned here dates back ten
ther than five years. When this fact is
taken into consideration, it will be seen
that the sliding scale of royalties, particu-
larly where a play is great success,
makes the money return that comes to the
author rise quickly into the thousands.
"Under the former system the highest
an author could realize from his play, no
matter what the size of his triumph, was
about $500 week, and he had to be an
author of repute to do that, for most of
the plays were paid for at the rate Of SO
night and S. matinee. Now it is "a
poor play indeed which will not pay $500
to 5000 Il week. l have myself paid au-
thors as much as 81 200 week in royalties
for play when but single company was
presenting it, and as high as So, 600 a
week when two or more companies were
appearing in it. "

WHEEL WISDOM.

A cyclist who always enjoys excellent
health says that his method is to take a
cold bath every morning on rising and to
trust to Providence for the rest. He has
no fear of drafts, sudden chills, the sudden
checking of perspiration or the other things
which are held up rs special and particu-
lar enemies of bicycle riders.
1t is astonishing how many people get
hurt whilo cleaning the bicycle or fooling
with it, One of the most frequent of this
kind of accidents is the catching of the
thumb in the chain wheel while turning
the crank and holding cloth to the chain.
The chain should be cleaned in sections
although the time occupied may be much
longer
Riders should keepa sharp lookout while
passing buildings that are either in proc
ess of construction or being demolished
The wagons in which material is taken to
or hauled away from these buildings never
rumble off without jolting some of their
contents out on the street. Chips of brick
or stone, sharp pointed fints or hardened
mortar are all liable to puncture any tire
which comes in contact with them.
Here is the way Mayor Harrison of Chi
cago ditferentiates between the equestrian
and the bicyelist; "When l go horseback
riding, the mayor says, "the horse gets
the exercise. He doesn't exactly get it
all, but he gets the best part Of it, On the
other hand, when go bicycle riding all
the exercise is mine l do all the work
and have all the fun. A man can feel that
he is doing something for himself when he
is riding wheel, and there is great deal
of satisfaction in that"

The Energy OF a Cyclone.

The primary cause of the low baro-
metric pressure which marks the storm
center and establishes the cyclone is ex-
pansion of the air through excess of
temperature. The heated air, rising in
to cold upper regions, has a portion of
Its vapor condensed into clouds, and
now new dynamic factor is added, for
each particle of vapor, i'll condensing,
gives up its modicum of latent heat.
Each pound of vapor thus liberates, ac-
cording to Professor Tyndall's estimate,
enough heat to melt five pounds of cast
IRON, so the amount given out where
large masses of cloud are forming must
enormously add to the convection cur
rents of the air, and hence to the storm
developing power of the forming cy-
clone. 1t is doubted whether a storm
could attain, much less continue, the
terrific force of that most dreaded Of
winds OF temperate zones, the tornado,
without the aid of those great masses of
condensing vapor which always accom-
pany it in the form of stormclouds =

SEEK FREE DOCTORS.
Some Queer Experiences In the Public
Dispensaries of New York.

Some Queer Experiences In the Public
Dispensaries of New York.
The least hope of any change in this
charity to all policy is with those dis
pensaries that are bountifully endowed.
The leading institution of this class il
New York city is located on the west
side and, in view of its defiant abuse
of all kinds of medical charity, has
earned for itself the unenviable sobri-
quet of the diamond dispensary." 1t
has such high reputation for the num-
Der and pecuniary ability of its patients
that it would appear to be rather a
credit than disgrace to receive its out
rageously misdirected charity. Such at
least is the inevitable conclusion that
may be based upon the large average of
we'll to do people who claim daily the
benefits of free medical treatment so
Iavishly and indiscriminately furnished
to all who apply. Many of these visitors
are from out of town districts and will
pay several dollars for car fare, will ask
for written diagnosis of their disease
and an extra prescription, and will then
| complain if they are kept waiting be-
yond the time for their return train.
The examining doctor is content to ride

fences will not be required for checking
bicycles and distributing carriage num-
bers i'll the order of the different ar.

ing description by an eyewitness i'll the
waiting room of this dispensary may be

"The reception room held about 200

Fully so per cent Of the applicants We're
well dressed, and 10 per cent of them
were finely dressed. Three women wore
fur coats that had not been handed
down from somebody else. There was
an attractive display of fine millinery,
and the men, more than half of them,
bore no evidences of poverty. But all
obtained free treatment supposed to be
| given to pauperS- poor persons.
Such instances as the following carry
with them their own moral:
During the examination of a dis
pensarv patient a roll of bills dropped
from her pocket. The doctor picked it
up and remarked. Madam, this is

thing else. You are paid by the city
and must prescribe for me- On being
assured that the doctor received no sal

lady who had preceded her and from
whom she had rented house the week
before. DIR. George f. Shrady ill

TO OVERCOME THE WIND.
New Scheme to Enable Gentry to Beat
Two Minutes.


Tt is understood that no effort is to be
spared to enable Gentry to pace a mile in
less than two minutes this season. His eff
forts will be watched with additional in
terest from the fact that it is proposed to
increase his speed by using a recent and
novel invention. Two running horses are

great advantage gained by such contriv-
ance is the cutting off of the wind by the
screen and the natural formation of par
tial vacuum, which will tend to pull Gen
try along at faster gait. A more general
appreciation of the winds effect upon speed
has been formed since the bicycle came in
to popular use. Riders soon discovered that
it was an impossible task to pedal their
machines against strong breeze. Even on
II still day the terrific momentum attained
made breathing il difficulty and brought
the tears rolling down the racers checks
1t was found that by following u tandem
or quad the racer was protected, and by
adopting this plan faster time at all dis
tances has been made. The screen before

benefits that the tandem pacemaller does
to the bicycle racing man. The advantage
gained by the suction can easily be under.
