THE MILLERsvILLE PATH.
Route Has Been Practically Secured
by WheeIMay League

The route to Millersville has been prac-
tieally secured by the Wheelway League
All the property owners seen, with the ex-
ception of the owners of one strip of land,
regard the construction of the path as a
decided benefit to themselves and will do all
they can to further the work. Most of them
have already executed leases on the neces-
sary strip OF land for the term of five years
The owner of one large strip of land,
which it is desired to cross, lives in Rich
mond, Ind. The officials OF the league have
been unable to see her or her agents until
during the last week. 1t is altogether prob
able, from conversations had during the
week, that before the expiration of another
week she will have joined her neighbors in
signing the nve-year lease to the Wheelway
League. The only actual opposition TO the
plan has arisen from some of the owners
of a strip at the extreme northeast part of
the contemplated cycle path route, just be-
fore reaching the Millersyille gravel road.
If all other parties give the necessary rights
leases the Wheelway League viii probably
construct the remainder of the proposed
path along the north bank of Fall creek
10 the property line of the owners of this
last strip and then build bicycle bridge
across Fall creek at that point and run the
path 70 the Millersyille road opposite. The
road Is at that point generally in the best
condition and beautifully shaded nearly to

The First Telegraph Line.


The campus wire" as the students
called it, was the thing which excited the
most wonderful speculation when Henry
was at Princeton. DR.. Edward Shipper, of
Philadelphia, of the class of 1915, states
that it ran along from Philosophical Hall,
by the front of North College, among the
outer branches of some of the fine trees,
and then round the western end TO Pro-
fessor Henrys house, which was west of
North College and south of the old library
and Recitation Hall. This wire was the
first in which the current was completed
through the earth. 1t went into the well at
the professors house. the other end being
in the earth at Philosophical Hall. Profess
sor Henry often used the campus Wire in
the presence of the students, although he
" as not given to superfluous experiments.
He had an arbitrary code. If he wanted
his luncheon sent over he worked his ar
mature few times according to the code.
Mrs. Henry received the message. The stu
dents waited, and presently Sam would
appear bringing the precise articles or
dered on tray covered with a napkin.
This simple exhibition of what is now an
everyday transaction was then a source
of wonder. This occurred again and again
before Morse teegraphed between Balti-
more and Washington, which was in the
month Of May 1914.

Bicycle authorizations.

Bicycle Authorizations are becoming a

land doctor. II know of half a dozen cases
or more. One woman came to me and
claimed she couldn't ride on a street when
a street-car line was in operation. Every
pulse to topple over toward it, She simply
couldn't help it. Another woman said that
whenever she rides her wheel she has an
idea that somebody is seorching close be-
mind her. She feels the scorcher's presence

friends she doesn't notice the unpleasant

Bicycles and Health.

Washington Post
Reports Of deaths from bicycle riding are
getting to be a not unusual feature of the
news in our exchanges. Occasionally the
telegraph announces that a distinguished
citizen has died suddenly from this cause.
Last week two or three prominent men in
as many cities were reported to have fallen
from their wheels dead, or nearly So while
riding up steep grades. All of these were
afflicted with heart disease AS a result of
these melancholy incidents we have an
outpouring of kindly comment on the dam
gers of the bicycle. Some of our contempo-
raries appear TO believe that no person who
is not sufficiently robust for the most eX-
acting athletic feats should venture to
mount that vehicle. This, it seems to us, is
quite as absurd as the notion of the oppo-
site extremists that the wheel is neces-
sarily wonderful promoter of health and
longevity. Violent exercise of any kind is
not good for the average constitution. Per-
sons who have organic diseases of any de-
bicycle up a steep grade. A person whose
heart or lungs are defective has no reason
to hope from immunity in such exercise
No reputable physician would advise or fail
to warn against such a risk.
The truth as to the wheel and the health
OF those who ride it is that ii is good if
properly used In many cases it has been a
substantial aid in the development of
men and women in this city who are
healthier and happier, more useful in their
families and in society than they would
have been If the bicycle had not been in
vented. They have used and not abused it.
On the other hand, there are men and wom-
en-, and boys and girls whose health has
been seriously and, in some instances ir-
reparably injured by excessive or inJudi-
the wheel may be perverted from blessing
to curse.

The Wheel an Emancipator.

Philadelphia Record.
1t is somewhat amusing to note the way
in which the bicycle continues to be made
scapegoat for many of the ills which
affiict society or humanity. Thus the life
insurance authorities in New York have de-
clared that the excessive use of the wheel
involves a new risk which they may be
compelled to guard against in their policies
AS if Natures law of self-preserVation
and the compensation which the companies
derive from the general improvement in the
public health would not cover the risk
named! Again, the striking tailors Of New
York are blaming their wretched condition
on the fact that a bicycle suit may be
bought for a few dollars, and that many
wheelmen keep these suits on while at
work. and, in fact, all of the time. The
point is doubtless well taken. But the tail
ors should remember that the craze for
easy outing clothing, which set in with the
negligee shirt even before the wheeling
craze, is largely reaction against the stiff
letters which excessive tailoring has too
long imposed upon humanity. The wheel
has to some extent emancipated the man
from the dress suit tailor, and the woman
from the modiste; but if 1t hadn't been the
wheel it would have been some other form
of outdoor sport. 1t is vain TO kick against
the wheel The true policy is to make
friends with it.
