THE SPORTING WORLD.

Cycling on public streets and roads
in Saxony is subject to minute and care
Sully enforced police regulations, which
III many places prohibit altogether the
use Of brakeless machines.
The roads, with but few exceptions,
are perfect, and wheeling is smooth and
easy, but on account Of rainy weather,
which prevails most of the year, wheel
guards for wet days are indispensable.
Every machine must, in the first
place. have an open plate or shield af-
fixed to the brake rod or handle bar and
be provided with a spring lid. on which
is engraved in clear lettering the name,
profession or rank and residence of the
rider. In lieu of this the riders card
and address attached to the handle bar
would comply with the law and would
temporarily answer every requirement.
The alarm bell is, of course, demand
cd everywhere. The law requires that
the lamp be rather highly placed on the
wheel and be kept lighted from within
half an hour after sunset to half an
hour before sunrise; furthermore, that
the light must shine through unco]ored
glass. Each bicycle must be provided
with an easily managed brake, operat-
ing quickly and powerfully. Cycling
on roads exclusively intended for pedes-
trians or on the elevated footpaths and
highways is strictly prohibited. Two
bicyclers may ride side by side when it
can be done without blocking the thor
oughfare or annoying other riders or We
hicles, otherwise single file is the rule.
More than two machines abreast are
not permitted undel any circumstances.
When meeting other bicycles or over
taking them, or when approaching pas
sages OF the road where it is not possible
to see a long distance, or when reaching
steep descent, the cycler is obliged to
give frequent signals with his bell as
matter of strict precaution in avoiding
collisions. Moderate speed must be
maintained at all times. Scorching is
forbidden on all highways. At very
steep down grades the cycler must dis
mount and guide his wheel until the de-
scent is passed before remounting

LOADING CORN At A CHICAGO ELEVATOR.
steamer for quarter Of an hour, and
then hurried away. In ten minutes he
had sold the whole cargo Of 90, 000 bush
els in New York, secured an elevator at
Buffalo and provided for the train ship
ment from the Buffalo elevator to New
York. Then he returned and closed the
deal for chartering the steamer. Iii all
probability the New York firm had in
ten minutes more sold the grain to a
Liverpool firm and was hustling for
room i'll an ocean going steamer to carry
it over.
The vessel agent having obtained a
cargo, at once began to make arrange
ments for loading. First, he sent for
tugs to pull his steamer up to the ele-
yator Wharfs, and by the time it ar
rived there he had a crew of trimmers
and tally men, Once more the corn be-
gan to move. It was shot up into the
weighing hoppers, and from there al
lowed to slide into the shoots which
We're trained into the vessels hold.
Down in the hold the tlimmers-big,
braWny fellows, with scoops-shoveled
it into the farthest corners. In four
hours the loading had been completed,
and the dusty trimmers crawled out of
the hold. The captain in the meantime
had secured his sailing papers, and as
soon as the matches were battened down
the hawsers were cast off and the tugs
towed the steamer out into the harbor,
where, with her nose pointed northward
and under her own steam, she bowled
along as fast as her deep laden condition
would allow toward the straits of
Mackinac.
Marine reporters at Macllinac City, at
Port Huron and other points along her
route telegraphed back to her owners
and agents the story of her progress un-
til she finally reached Buffalo Once
there, she did not have to wait more
than half a day for an elevator, because
this had all been previously arranged.
The matches were reOpened, and once
more the corn was lifted into an elevator.
Steam shovels and fast travelling con-
veyers make this process marvelously
rapid.
The corn is Lot allowed to rest in the
elevators very long, for storage is yalu-
able just at this time, and as soon as it
can be weighed it is run down on the
osher side and again takes the form of
carloads. Eight long trains of 20 cars
each the cargo makes, for while the hold
of the steamer has a capacity of 80, 600
bushels u car will contain only $50 bush
els. AS fast as these trains are made up
they are rushed down through New York
state by any one of the half dozen lines
which connect Buffalo with New York
city. At the New Y Iork elevator the lift
ing and weighing process is again re-
peated, and in a short time the grain is
poured into the capacious hold Of a great
ocean freighter and is being carried out
through the Narrows toward Europe.
At Liverpool there is another change,
and i'll the course of Il feW weeks the
corn which was raised in Kansas or Mis-
souri, is being distributed to Il foreign
people on the other side of the earth.

SHIPMENT OF GRAIN.
THE JOURNEY FROM THE FIELD TO
THE SEABtARD.

Eow the Corn Reaches the Elevators of
and Steamer to New York and Shipped
to Europe.
The greatest movement of grain from
the west to the Atlantic seaboard which
has been seen in many years is Just now
taking place. Short crops of grain in
India, Austria and Russia are the cause.
10 feed the vast populations of Europe
and Asiatic countries the practically
unlimited resources of our great western
farms have been called upon. The re-
sponse has been prompt Two unusually
large crops in succession had filled every
American corn bin to bursting. When
the word was flashed under seas and
across continents that Europe wanted
corn, thousands of men went to work
the jump.
The western railroads distributed cars
along their lines in a hurry, and from
every little elevator there poured out a
food Of golden grain. The loaded cars
were quickly collected, made into trains
and ratified along toward Chicago under
the head of stfast freights !" Once in the
great western metropolis, the cars were
run down to the water front and into
the big elevators which have railroad
tracks on one side and vessel slips on
the other. The grain doors were jerked
open and the corn poured out into the
shoots to be taken up by the conveyors
and lifted to the very top of the big ele-
vator. There it was weighed and allow
ed to slide down into bins beneath.
For few brief hours the corn was al
lowed to rest and catch it's breath while
;he details of the rest of its long journey
were arranged. The morning after i t was
received at the elevator d representative
of the big firm into whose possession it
had passed appeared on the floor of the
board Of trade. Going over to the ives
sci men S aisle, between the corn and
provision pits, he tapped avessel broker
on the shoulder and asked:
"What's the rate for corn to Buffalo
today" ~...
"Ty1o and one-half cents.
"Give you "a oents?" .".."r
"Nope.''
"All right" And the elevator agent
walked down the line. Presently he Sc
cured an option on 10000 bushel

a Story of Francis Wilson and a Hawk
shaw From YonIsers.
Francis Wilson says many funny
things on the stage, and he seems to rec
ognize {, good thing when it is said
have therefore wondered whether he
has ever told of his meeting with the
chief of the Yonkers police department
when that HaWkshaw was engaged in
the solving (?) of the Andrus bomb
mystery. 1t happened this way:
Wilson, who has a delightful little
cottage i'll Mount Vernon, came across
to Yonsers the day after the mysterious
death Of Mr.. Andrus and accompanied
by friend entered the police headquar-
ters. He was anxious to see the frag
ments of the bomb and whatever else
the police had found on the scene of the
crime. There were a number of New
York newspaper men present at the
time.
Captain Mangin,' said the friend,
"I want to introduce you to Francis
Wilson. .
Happy to meet you, Mr.. Wilson"
Mr. Wilson, said the friend, lis
curious to see the evidence you have
collected in the Andrus case. -
"Certainly, Mr.. Wilson," and Cap
tain Mangin displayed the fragments of
the bomb and the splintered desk under
which it had exploded. Then an idea
struck him.
''Do anything in the detective way,
Mr.. Wilson?'
"No, hardly" and the actor and his
friend soon left the police station.
"Now, I wonder, said the worthy
Hawkshaw, as the door closed behind
his visitors, "what that Mr. Wilson
wanted to see those things for Won
der if he lives here in Yonkers. y
"Why, that's Francis Wilson, the
actor" suggested one of the newspaper
men present.

got to make q living somehow. New

Season We Like Best.


When the wintry winds are blowing,
And with health your cheeks are glowing,
And the storms rage tiercely from the east
and west,
AS with gay heart you go prancing
To some favored place for dancing
Dom you think you like the winter time
the best?
But when the sleigh bells have ceased ringing,
And YOU hear sweet birds asingng
AS they seek a spot to build their pretty
nest,
You stand with some girl chatting,
And your joyous heart is laughing,
Don you think that springtine is the best?
And soon the summer sun is shining.
Surely that's no time for pining,
For all nature seems to be with goodness
blest,
And you take a day of tramping
Or perhaps a week at camping.
Oh, yes, you say that summer times the
best!
But as the summers slowly ending
And the leaves are all attending
To yellow golden color as they fall,
When the air is clear and bracing
And a cool breeze you are facing,
Oh, don t you think that autumn's s best Of allt

Pleasures Shared.

This truth do hold while the earth blooms
fair,
Ere the days Of our youth are flown
Far sweeter one pleasure that two can share
Than score that we hold alone.
Aye, more, when the shadows of age appear,
With the love of our youth still true,
No selfish delight can be half SO dear
AS JOY that is shared by two.
Life's trials know, lose their power to harm
When she whispereth words of cheer,
And all of the sweetness that gives life and
charm,
Being shared, is made doubly dear.
Frank Putnam in Chicago Times Herald.
Life is but short chase; our game, content.
Which most pursued is most compell'd to fly.
And he that mounts him the swiftest hope
Shall sooner run his courser to a stand,
While the poor peasant from some distant hill
Endangered and at ease, views all the sport
And secs content take shelter in hia cottage.

Darcst Thou Now, o Soul!

Darest Thou Now, o Soul!
Darest thou now, Q soul,
Walk out with me toward the unknown region
Where neither ground is for the feet nor any
path to follow?
No map there, nor guide,
Nor voice sounding, nor touch of human hand
Nor face with blooming flesh, nor lips nor
eyes, are in that land
know it not O SOUL
Nor dost thou. All is blank before us;
All waits undreamed of in that region, that
inaccessible land,
Till when the ties loosen
All but the ties eternal-time and space,
Nor darkness, gravitation sense, nor any
bounds bounding US,
Then we burst forth, we float,
In time and space, o SOUL prepared for them,
Equal, equipt at last ooh, joy Oh, fruit Of alln
