Nuns On Bicycles


London Letter to the. New York Mail ard Express
Speaking Of bicycles reminds me of their
latest uses in London. Hospital nurses
mounted on "safeues's are not unusual
sights in our most crowded thoroughfares
and with their gauze veiis. demure bon
nets and jangling steel chateaine:s. are
rather weird, though not always unpleas-
ant, spectacles. The latest members of the
divine feminine to take to the insidious
wheel, however, IS n certain community Of
nuns that lead their secluded lives behind
the high brick walls of a convent in one of
the West-end suburbs. There Is always q
certain amount Of romance and "the-world-
forgetting and-by- the world forgot atmos-
phere about a convent. Folded, prayerful
hands, quietly serene faces, gentle voices
and midnight vigils seem to breathe of all
that Is reposeful and devotional. Now,
however, in the lovely grounds where at
other times the nuns walk and tell their
beads Is heard the sound Of the bicycle
bell. and from the Mother Superior down
to the youngest lay sister all ride bicycles,
OF course in the strict seclusion of the con-
vent walls.

On one dav a sweet liquid was administer

On one day a sweet liquid was administer
ed containing thirty Erammes of sugar. on
the next day a similar liquid containing
sufficient amount of seccharin to render
II fndistinguishable from the other as re-
earced taste. When a very large amount
Of muscular work had been performed be-
fore the employment of the apparatus for
further labor, 1t was found that on the
DAYS when sugar was administered a dis
tinctly greater quantity of work could be
got through than on the days when sac
charm was given. The blood had become
very poor In sugar in consequence OF the
severe muscular effort which has previous
Nv been gone through and hence the ad-
ministraticn of a comparatively small guam
tity Of sugar had the effect Of producing
an increased capability for work.

WITH A SINGLE RAIL.
The Force of Traction Directed b!
a Balloon.

BALLOON.
From the nlustrirte Zeitung.
A mountain railway built on quite novel
Man was tested last year on a small scale,
and is to be shortly opened in diherent
locality for regular service. The prlncipai
feature of the new system is that the force
of traction is directed vertically upWaro'
and is derived from balloon A sihs!e
rail is used for the only purpose OF direct
ing the course Of the train and keeping me
balloon with it's load captive: To this end
the rail is made T-shaped. ana the car
runs on it, gripping it from the sides ana
tror, he,,,w The rail is anchored to the
Ground at distances of about fifteen Ieet.
In the descent the propelling force Is gray
ity and the balloon acts as cneck 10 pre-
vent accelerated motion A baiiast OF wa
ter taken I'D at the top OF the mountain
nrovides the additional downward force re-
nuired. The truck carries the water re-
ceptacle, which can be opened py the ae,o,
nalts during the journey. Inc truck an"
receptacle together weigh about $50 pounds.
and when there Is no wind the receptacle
carries about l, 100 pounds OF water, max
ing a total weight OF 1,16O pounds. Wheh
IT is windy the strain between the Daiioon
end the truck is diminished by letting the
water out of the receptacle, thus compen-
satine for the difference in power. Inc
1ifference in weight caused by the passen-
gers entering or leaving the car Is regu-
lated by the use of separate weights,
SUFFICIENT number of which will be kept at
each station.
The tests made of this system were very
favorable, and the inventors. Messrs: Vol
derauer and Brackebusch, are preparing to
build a similar line to run up the Hoch-
stauffen, near Bad Reichenhall. Bavaria.
The inventors purpose making balloon
with d diameter of IS feet inches and a
lifting power of 1850 pounds The balloon
car, net, rope, etc, weigh ago pounds,
and an allowance of $500 pounds is made
for passengers and aeronauts. leaving a
margin of 2,640 pounds.
There is a storage house where the bal
loon nay be left in case Of storm. and all
possible measures are observed to insure
the absolute safety Of the passengers. The
whole device seems very appropriate Tor
the purpc Sc it is to fulfill, and there seems
nc reason why the enterprise should not
prove entirely successful

Sugar and Mountain Climbing.

From the New York Ledger.
It is q fact well known to Alpine tourists
that on difficult climbing excursions an In
creased desire is felt for the consumption
of sweets and sweetened foods, and many
who never touch such things at home de-
your large quantities Of them on these
tours. 1t is also frequently remarked how
eagerly the guides appropriate any sugar
that may be left over and consume 1t on
the route. At the instigation OF the Prus-
sian war office. investigations have recent
~ been made by means of a special appar-
atus into the question whether the con-
sumption Of small quantities of sugar rem
dered the tired muscles capable of renewed
exertion. In order to obtain practical
result. the person who was made the sub
ject Of the experiment was kept totally
Ignorant Of the object Of the experimenters.

TEXAS TRAIN ROBBERY.

Southern Pacific Held Up by Three
Masked Men, Who Made Good Haul
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 17-The
west-bound Southern Pacific passenger
train was held up by masked men and
robbed about $50 miles west of here
early yesterday morning. As the train
pulled out of the little town of Lozier
three men jumped on the plat
form, and, pointin pistols at
the engineer and fireman, COM
PEELED the former to stop
the train about one and a half
miles west of town. After forcing the
doors of the express car in, one of the
robbers entered the car and dyna-
mlted the two safes of the Wells Far
go Express company. Both the through
and the local safes were opened and
the contents secured. The local safe
contained about So, 600 or $4,000. The
amount secured from the through safe
is unknown. but it is believed it will
not fall below 1000 or $4,000. The
express car was badly wrecked by the
force of the explosion of the dynamite.
Officers are in pursuit of the robbers,
who went north. 1t is claimed they
are part of a gang that came into this
section recently from New Mexico.

Hanged Near Rosebud, Texas, for At
tempting to Assault a white Girl.
ROSEBUD, Texas, May II. = Last
night three negroes, Dave Cotton,
Henry Williams and Sabe Stewart,
were taken from the officers of the law
and hanged They had been confined
in the Jail here several days on a
charge of attempted assa ult, their in
tended victim being daughter of
William Coates, white. Yesterday
evening Williams made confession
Deputy Constable Wilson had put a
strong guard around the jail last night.
Everything was quiet until about
IL o'clock, when number of men,
heavily disguised, rode up to
the jail and demanded the prisoners.
The guard refused to deliver them,
and the crowd retired, saying it would
blow the Jail up with dynamite or
have the prisoners. Immediately the
officers and guards summoned bus
and entered it with their prisoners,
leaving by a rounds bout route to Mar
tin, hoping to reach the Post Oaks in
time to elude the mob. When about
three miles east of here, they were
overtaken by about 1000 masked men,
who Overpowered them, took the pris-
oners, and hanged them to a tree,
after which the mob quietly retired.
Their victim identified one of them
and his confession implicated the
others.
