ADIEU, THE BICYCLE.
n Brooklyn Inventor to Make Horsoless
Carriages to Sell for $500.

Are the days Of the bicycle suprem-
acy numbered, and the poor horse
threatened with extinction? A Brook
lyn genius has perfected the horseless
carriage, in which all the objections
to the old freak" of that name have
been overcome. 1t is as light as a vic
toria, noiseless as the bicycle, fast as
an express train and can be handled
with ease, he claims.
The carriage looks exactly like any
ordinary carriage, the electric storage
battery being completely hidden. BY
merely turning a handle bar, the car
riage can be turned in any direction,
and the speed regulated. The great
fault OF the old horseless carriage was
the difficulty in turning, but in this in
stance this has been successfully over
come
Most horseless carriages are run by
petroleum or gasolene. These motive
powers gave the passengers the feel
ing of being on an engine, and when
not noisy there is Invariably more or
less of disagreeable odor. But in
the Brooklyn invention electric power
Will do away with at least the odors.
Then again higher rate Of speed is
attained-the limit being thirty five
miles an hour. There is little danger
of running out of electricity, for by
simply attaching n drop wire to n
neighboring telegraph or telephone liz =
the storage battery can be recharged
it would be difficult to prove that any
electricity had been borrowed. Another
method of supplying the storage bat
terry Is by an ingenious contrivance
which restores electricity to the bat
terry from the motors whenever the
carriage is going down hill.
An invention in itself is the combna-
ton lock on the motor lever. 1t is an
ordinary lock. so far as working II
goes, but when locked it is impossible
to move the carriage by electricity

Seven of the prettiest ballet girls in
New York appear nightly before hun
dreds Of people apparently clad chief
!y in light. They are enveloped from
jhe tops of their heads to their
tees in myriad of little cleo
rlc lamps, which shine and disappear
ith the music to which they dance.
During the past week these seven
girls have commanded nearly as much
attention as the equine exhibition, and
from Il spectacular view far exceed
any Of the recent novelties introduced
ON the stage. Incased in costume of
wire and lace, the girls give a daz-
&ling exhibition, which at any moment
might he cut short If the slightest ac-
cident happened to bring them in con-
tact with several thousand volts Of
electricity which they cavort around
with.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
GOnl Advice.

The Clarion-Ledger, of Jackson, Miss,
gives some excellent advice to the farm
rrs Of Marshall county who have organ
lied club for the discussion of farm
topics, politics being eschewed. The
Ledger says that one trouble with farm
ers' organizations is that sooner or later
they get to dabbling in politics, and be-
fore they know it they are in the midst
of a red-hot fight against some profess
sional man. This is particularly the
case with respect to farmers in the
west and SOUTH" says the Charleston
News and Courier. Instead of confer
ring with each other about crops, fer
tilizers, live stock, agricultural ma
chinery and kindred topics, they are
too much disposed to embark in crack
er-barrel craftsmanship and to theorinr
concerning the government of the ma
ton while the weeds uxurate on their
farms and the mortgage nestles down

Some maintain that they had been caught
up, but that argument seemed impossible,
for in the summer of rs they were as

caught in great quantities off the coasts

The most feasible explanation and the one
offered by Prof. Baird, the first expert of

That the water was colder than ever be-

Allan and Dominion Liners Crowded.

Says the Montreal Star: The trans At
lantic passenger business between this
city and the port of Liverpool is still
heavy, with a good prospect for it's con-
tinuance throughout the season.
The steamship Partisan of the Allan line
will sail from Montreal on Saturday
morning with no less than 21o saloon
100 second cabin and about 200 steerage.
The State of California will sail from
this port ON July Sd and will also take
large number of people.
The next Dominion line steamship to
sail with passengers on board will be the
Labrador, on June 26. Among those
who have engaged passage for this date
is the Countess of Aberdeen, who will
go abroad accompanied by. Lady Marjorie
Gordon and Lieutenant Neye, A. D. C.
Mr.. Frank J. Hart and Sir Cashier and
Lady Gzowski will also bespassengers on
the Labrador.
The steamship Vancouver, sailing on
July 10, will have her full quota of pas
sengers. After this date, however, the
east going passenger business wanes and
the tide of travel will turn westward once
more.
The season promises to be one of the
most prosperous in the history of the
steamship companies, SO far as passen
ger business is concerned, though it is
said that the business in freights does
not promise SO well. The rates are com
paratively low and up to the present there
is more steamer space than cargo.
