a. special correspondent OF the Lon.
don Times has been inspecting the CEN
trail native states in India, and the
Bundelkhand district. He says that in
the former no provision was made
against the coming famine, and that six
weeks ago hundreds Of starving people
were waiting at the railroad stations to
beg food from passengers, their only
means Of sustenance The discovery
of dead bodies ON the line Is a matter
Of common occurrence. At Banda, in
the Bundelkhand province, nearly one
half of the entire population, 100000,
were destitute. In the orphanage the
correspondent found 400 children un-
der fifteen years Of age. On the relief
works $4,000 natives were employed in
road construction, each family having
its allotted task, the men digging, the
women carrying material. Owing to
che plague at Bombay 1t has been found
exceedingly difficult to provide proper
implements for the laborers, and large
numbers Of the women were carrying
earth in small brass food trays and 9TH
er little vessels. The work extended
over seventeen miles, and at every mile
there was an adequate supply of good
water. All the wells are guarded very
strictly. A Brahmin serves the water

cipient catches 1t in his own vessel
The correspondent visited the local
poorhouse, where he found 1000 in
mates, mostly women and children in
various stages Of emaciation. The chill
dren were fed on milk, the adults on
rice and soup. While he was there Q
woman was brought in who had been
found deserted in the city. She was q
mere skeleton, was absolutely desti-
tute of clothing, and almost every bone
and joint in her body was visible. She

BICYCLE CURVES.
The Feet OF the Rider Never Moves
Backward.

The Feet OF the Rider Never Moves
Backward.
Almost every bicycler believes that,
as he rides his wheel his foot swings
backward with the pedal. He thinks
his feet describe series of circles, fol-
lowing the pedals around and that they
move backward and forward just as
much as they move up and down, saws
the New York Journal. This. it has
now been found by careful measure
ment, is quite mistake. From the
time you mount your wheel until YOU
dismount your feet never move back.
ward. They are constantly moving
forward, not in circles, but in a series
of curves. The reason for this is that
as your foot swings under the crank
shaft the bicycle moves forward much
more rapidly than the pedal swingS
back. The result is a constant for
ward movement. While your foot
moves backward in relation to your
body, yet 1t moves more rapidly for
ward in relation to the ground It
has been found by testing a bicycle
with ordinary gear that the wheels
make two and one-Quarter revolutions
to one revolution Of the pedals. Start
ing your machine when the pedals lie,
in a horizontal line it will be found
that the wheels have made complete
revolution before the pedals again come
to a horizontal position, or halfway
around the circle they describe. For
every inch shaft the latter moves for
ward more than two inches over the
ground. This will be apparent when
you consider the forward movement of
the pedal above the crank shaft. Your
foot then advances much more ran
idly than any part of the cycle. II
the bicycle were suspended in the air
your foot would move backward Just
as much as it moved forward and up
ward to just the extent that it moved
downward in describing series of per-
feet circles, but in relation to the
ground or to any fixed point neither
one of your feet ever moves backward
from the time you start your bicycle
until you stop.

Neither did he sec any chance Of winning them

make the girls believe that they did not want

"Youse onghtn't to wanter VOTE" he said !;
"dem wimmins in New York not vote, and
why, den, should the girls vote here?" So the
girls, wanting to be on the good side OF fine,

the election day came and the candidate OF
Mulberry Bend was elected. But by and by,
when the furry of election was over and the
girls began to find out that they had thrown
away power, and that when tho time came that
they wanted to be voters they would have no
such privilege accorded them, they began to
agitate reforms. So the subject was brought
before Congress and no warmer debate ever
