Power in Wheeling.

new 1OTh sun.
An English expert has been experiment.
ing with the object of ascertaining the
expenditure of power in the effort of rid
ing a bicycle Among other things, the
tests are said to prove that there is no
absolute dead point, such as occurs in the
action of e steam engine, and, in the Sec
ond, that there is always some pressure
on the up stroke. The writer goes on to
say: Many riders are of opinion that the
greater the speed the less the pressure
needed to force the machine onward
asmuch as man is physically much the su-
perior of woman, the question naturally
arises, how much more power does a wOn-
an waste in bicycle riding than man?
The matter is a simple one in some re-
spects, while in others it is rather COM
great extent simply upon the art of know
ing how to pedal. A man is, as q rule
more used to muscular eXertion than a
woman. and he does not notice the pres
sure necessary to propel his wheel, while
the unusual character of the exertion
eXpend n great deal of useless energy in
riding. Generally speaking, q woman puts
forth fully one-third more power in ordi-
nary riding than d man does under similar
conditions.
An experienced instructor declares that
entirely neglecttng the correct ankle ac-
ton Then very many lose much power by
an improper adjustment of the saddle
which they usually place too low, and fire.
quently too far back. In the course of
time no doubt these defects will be rem
edied. with the result that women will find
cycling much easier work than they had
believed.

miles in diameter, with surface exceeding
900 square mtles-Tather more than twice
the area OF the state Of Maine. But when
compared with the earth, the size, Of this

insignificant; it would require more than

Representing the earth, as before, by an
eight-inch globe, all the soil that could be
cleaned from its surface would be fairly
represented by pellet no larger than a
pigeon-shot. If old Atlas, who, according
to the myth-makers, carries the earth upon
his shoulders, should endeavor to tighten
his load by thus scraping off the dirt, the
whole result of his efforts would be a lit
tie black pill, the minuteness of which, as
1t lay in the palm of his hand, would NIL
him with dismay. He could never get APP
probable relief by such method.
On the whole, then, notwithstanding the
popular impression to the contrary, our
Mother Earth is tidy dame setting a good
example to her offspring-and 1t would be
well if they followed it more closely. In
deed. there is little reason to doubt that
her face, viewed from a proper distance
so that it could be fairly seen, would APP
pear as bright and beautiful as that of her
sister Venus. We have no reason to be
ashamed of Mother Earth.
