Washington and the Bicycle Craze.

ance felt In many ways in Washing

phalt streets and avenues from an
ideal place for wheeling, and the fad
has taken possession of all classes of
society.
The growth in the popularity of
the bicycle has been particularly
rapid since the introduction of the
pneumatic tire. 1t has been enthus-
iastically seized by women and chill.
dren as a means of health giving ex.
%ercise, and within the past year the
riders of this class have been in.
creased by thousands.
Perhaps the enormity of the in
dustry may be appreciated better
by inquiring into the relative mum.

,tantly increasing variety Of Access

stantly increasing variety OF acces-
sores.
A recent paper stated that OF the
&c, 900 patents granted in England
during the past year, one.third re-
lated in some way to the bicyclist's
requirements. Iu this country the
proportion of applications for pat
ents in the same line has increased
enormously.
In the Patent Office all inventions
are grouped into about two hundred
and fifteen classes, and there are
about one hundred and sixty as
sistant examiners. SO it will be seen
that on an average each assistant
will have to take charge of one class
and part of another.
Bicycles are examined in Division
7, and the number of assistants has
had to be almost doubled in the past
two years. Nearly the entire force
is engaged in examining applications
in this one class, and eve then it is
impossible to keep up with the
work. At the present time there
are nearly 1000 applications on hand
awaiting action, and these do not in
clude bicycle pumps or bells.
On our streets may be seen al
most every kind of machine that is
made, because inventors of new
types of apparatus bring them here
to demonstrate their good points to
the Patent Office Examiners, or to
organize stock companies for their
manufacture. Here you can see the
motor bicycle, monocycle, sex
tuplette. Eifle Tower wheel, water
bicycle, etc, etc.
The growth of the wheel in
dustry commercially is seen from
the great increase in the number of
stores dealing in bicycles and bicycle
sundries. Eight years ago there
were about five or Elk, and now
there are about five or six hundred.
The Patent Office records disclose
some queer applications of the APP
paratus. One of the earliest patents
covered a vehicle in which dogs were
used for motive power. They were
placed within the hollow front
wheel and as they tried to climb up
the forward slope of the wheel they
caused the same to rotate and the
machine to advance.
One inventor proposes to use tho
the bicycle gearing to operate the
propelling apparatus of a flying ma
chine. Still another devises a ma.
chine suitable to use on the long
fences in the west. With this the
farmer can in the springtime, when
the ground is wet, make tours Of OBJ
servation abe ut his ranch or visit
his neighbor.

To Tax Bicycles

Two bills were introduced in the
House of Representatives at Harris
burg last week providing for levying
ajax on BICYCLES. One was from
Representative Spatz, of Berks
county, which would tax each BIZ
cycle, owned in the State, M dollar
to be paid into the State treasury,
for the improvement of the public
roads. The other was offered by
Representative Upton, of Adams
county, and seeks to levy a tax (no
amount named) on all bicycles, en-
cept those held by manufacturers
and dealers for sale, for road pur-
poses.
1t would be just as well, perhaps,
for some other member of the
House to have those bills amended
to cover buggies, carriages, wagons
ard wheelbarrows aud then for the
rest of the members to get on to
them with their brogans and stamp
the stufiin out of them. A more un-
just and ridiculous easu could
not be conceived in the brain of an
average law maker. To single out
bicycles for a tax Of that kind would
be unfair, unequal and a disgrace to
the State. The present method of
taxation might be improved but the
equality with which the levy is made
seems to be all right and it would be
very strange that the vehicle that
does as little damage to roads as the
rubber tired bicycle does should be
taxed to keep the roads in repair.
II the proposition were confined to
building narrow paths at the side of
road for the use Of bicycle riders q
different view hight be taken of the
subject.

Another Proposed Steal.

Now DR.. Athert on wants the Leg
islature to pass a law that will pro-
vide for the creation of free scholar
ships in the State College in the pro-
portion of two each for every legis-
lative and senatorial district.
DIR. Anterior has pulled about all
the money out of the State Treasury
he can get in the old way. He now
wants to taffy the members and Sen
ators with the plea that they can
send their own sons to be educated
free.
What an outrage! And Of course
if the bill ever becomes a law Hast.
ings will sign it. 1t goes to Centre

Bitterness OF a South Carolina Editor

Bitterness Of a South Carolina Editor.
From the Hartwell Sun.
The Lord loves a cheerful giver.
He'll take care of the editor. He has
a charter from the State to act as a
door mat for the community. He
will get the paper out somehow, and
stand up for the town, and whoop it
up for you when you run for Office,
and lie about your pigeon-toed
daughters tackey wedding, and
blow about your big footed son when
he gets a four-dollar-a week job, and
weep over your shriveled soul when
it is released from its gasping body,
and smile at your wife's second
marriage. Don't worry about the
editor; he'll get along. The Lord
only knows how-but somehow.
