complish as much as he has ON wheel.
He IL feet inches tall, but weighs about
100 pounds. He Is of wonderfully muscu-
lar build and possesses pair Of splendidly
developed legs that look all cut out for
hard, fast driving. He Is now 90 years old
and is therefore ut an age when his speed
qualities should be at their best. When
engaged In race, his pedaling Is 90 perfect
that he looks to be part Of bis machine.
Jimmy Michaels, the Welsh wonder, beat
Eddie MoDuffee on the Charles River park
IN tho hottest 10 mile bicycle race eyer
run In America, and at the same time
established a new 10 mile paced COM
petition record of 29:12. Mcpuffee led
oil through tho race up to the first lap
of the fifteenth mile, when his pace
makers became worn out, and the Ut
tie Welshman, behind fast triplet, forged
ahead and won by 100 yards. Michaels
can well lay claim to being the athletic
marvel Of the century. Where the little
fellow stores away such vast amount Of
energy and vitality is a mystery which
will interest physicians all over the world.
Michaels made the first mile In l :54 As,
and the second, the fastest mile of the
race, In AZ 1.5. In tho fourteenth mile
both riders were apparently reserving their
strength for the final struggle, and tho
fourteenth was the slowest of the contest,
goa. And 1t was only few years ago that
man who could ride bicycle a mile in
$3.50 was considered marvel. The con-
test at Cambridge illustrates the possibil-
ity of speed OH a bicycle behind pacemak-
ers. The chances are that II the pacemak-
ers could have gone faster that Michaels
could have made an even better record.

Since It sprang into popular use, soldiers
have looked upon the bicycle with interest,
and from time to time some interesting
tests and experiments were made. The
Branch guards of st. Louis have shown to
what use the bicycle can be put, but In
rough country the ordinary bicycle has
found almost insurmountable difficulties.
In the late war the Japanese. found bicy
'cles Of good service against the Chinese,
bicyclists frequently proving Of service
In making delicate maneuvers and In tax
ing orders and messages In engagements.
After experiments. however, It became
apparent to military experts In Europe
that the ordinary bicycle could not do all
the work required of IL. For example, II
proved very unwieldly on heavy ground,
and as soldiers cannot conflne themselves
to paved streets and public promenades,
ordinary bicycles are too often apt to prove
incumbrances instead Of conveniences.
The desideratum was q wheel which could
be easily transported from place to place,
and yet which should be as firm and dura-
BILE as the ordinary bicycle. Such bicycle.
It Is said, has been invented by Lieutenant
'Czeipek Of thc Austrian army. The mer-

fold. A wheel of this kind, says one who
has thoroughly tested 1t, can easily be car

any country, and when necessary Il can
be put together and made ready for riding
in 80 seconds. The wheel, Including tho
knapsack, weighs only IA Kilograms, and
yet IL Is as strong In all Its parts as the

can be claimed by any modern genius.
His assertion that lung troubles and
consumption are durable in any eli

MEXICO AND SILVER.
Concluded from SC cond page.

he realizes $222.22. Thus has the
silver value OF his product, the
gold value remaining the same,
been increased,and as the silver
cost of production has not in
creased the fall in silver, or the
rise in the premium on the gold
for which he sells his produce,
bids fair to increase his profits and
encourages him to extend pro
duction. Thus it is that the effect
OF the fall in silver is to discour
age imports into Mexico from
gold using countries and to en-
courage exports to gold using.
On the other hand, the Shang
hal manufacturer must find an
hitherto unyelt incentive 10 ex-
port his products to Japan. He
must find that 93 japanese yen
are worth rs much to him as 100
used to be, that there is virtual
bounty held out to him on exports
to japan of over eight per cent.
So the effect of the fail in silver
must be to encourage manulactu
ring in China and to handicap
the japanese producers; it must
discourage imports into silver
using from gold using countries,
and encourage exports from silver
using to gold using. From such
fall in the gold price of silver
producers in silver using coun-
tries will profit, while producers

more difficult than ever to sell
to sllver-using peoples, must suf-
fer, not only because of this, but
because the silver. using people
will find it easier to sell in the
markets of gold-using countries.
In short, the silver-using peoples
will find it not only easier TO keep
their own markets, but easier to
compete in ours, while our pro
cucers must find it harder to keep
their own markets, and harder to
find new. Such are some of the
probable effects of the fall in sill
ver-eifects that must ever be in
seperable from fall in silver so
long as such fall is accompanied
by commensurate fall in the
purchasing power of silver using
