The bicycle has probably done more
to develop the mechanical genius OF
the people ,uf today than any other
agency, remarks Me Washington Star.
With the old wheel, the ordinary, while
repair kit was carried, it was seldom
needed, for the whole machine was
built for wear, weighing two and three
times as much as the modern safety,
and having tires almost unbreakable
The only danger was from loosened
tire. Later on the narrow tire aud
then the cushion tire came in, each
requiring more care, and with them
came the sproekets, chains and adjust
able saddles and handle bars that re-
quired some skill to manipulate. But
it was with the advent of the eighteen
to twenty-one-pound pneumatic that
skill was really called for, and today it
is hard to find M owner of wheel
who is unable to take his machine
apart, or who does not thoroughly
understand its makeup. Good evil
dence of this is to be had at any of the
cycle shows, or even in the regular
sales rooms. At the former it is a
common sight to see crowd around
some new model, every One-man or
woman, young or old-seemingly pos
sessed of accurate knowledge and ca
pable Of weighing carefully the advan.
tase offered by each particular make.

Swiss children are obliged to attend
school six to eight years, fines being
imposed on their parents in case of
unexcused absence. But as many
parents are too poor to provide food
and clothing for their children not q
few of the cantons have undertaken to
provide assistance, and it is estimated
that last year 10000 children were
thus aided by the state.

TORPEDO MINES.
A Deadly Force That Is Used In Modern
HarbOr Defenses.

A Deadly Force That Is Used In Modern
Harbor Defenses.
Modern harbor defenses are described
in st. Nicholas by Charles Rawson
Thurston. He writes:
The torpedo mines are operated from
mining classmates located at the en-
frances of harbors or bays, the exact sit
uation and their interior arrangement
being a departments secret. Some mines
are spherical in shape, about three feet
i'll diameter, and constructed of steel.
T. Nse, when in service, are expected to
hold 100 pounds of high explosives and
to float near the surface. But they must
be concealed as well as ~buoyant, and SO
to each is attached by a cable a mush-
room anchor to keep the torpedo just
below the surface, out Of sight and be-
yond the reach of the fire of machine
guns.
These mines are intended for use il
the channels that hostile ships would
have to sail through, and are formed
in threes and set closely in the channel
according to plans previously arranged.
If necessary, the sea Off the entrance to
a harbor or buy could be we'll filed with
them. These mines may be exploded or
may be perfectly harmless according to
the will OF the occupant Of the mining
casemate, who, with his important ap-
paratus, is out of reach Of shot and
shell. there being tons Of earth between
him and the upper air.
Out from this chamber through q tun-
mel below low water mark, and hence
safe from discovery by the enemy or shot
from them, run numerous cables to the
mines planted in the channel or in the
sea. Within the chamber the operator
has an elaborate chart with the location
of every torpedo or mine upon 1t. By
telegraph or other signals from observa-
ton stations near by he is kept informed
of the approach of vessels, and acts as
he thinks best under the circumstances.
He may receive word from his stations
to such effect that with his chart he
knows a vessel is directly within a clus-
ter of the sunken mines Then he a
touch a key, and a mine will instantly
explode beneath or near the vessel. II
the vessel is a friendly one, however.
tho operator can disconnect his batteries,
and the ship will sail in perfect safety
over the tons of explosive beneath. II
the weather be foggy, Or if some other
condition unfavorable for locating a
vessel prevails, and enemies are known
to be near, the pressing of many buttons
will make every Of these mines n
deadly force, and any ship that ventures
in will strike a torpedo, roll 1t over,
and automatically close an electric cir
cult. which will explode the mine, and
the ship will be sunk or badly shattered.
There are various devices for ascertain
ing that the hidden mines and connec-
tons are in good working order.

FOR A LOCAL LINE.
CHICAGO CAPITAL INTERESTED IN
KENCSHA RAILWAY AFFAIRS.
ASK ONLY FOR A FRANCHISE.
Will Build Line All About the City
Connecting the Factories With
the Resident and Bust
ness Portions.

The Electric Railway question in this
city has taken another twist, and the
citizens Of the city may soon be con-
fronted with the question of building a
local line. The recent action Of the Nj
r. q Z. in giving up the idea of enter
ing the city until next spring, has
undoubtedly given an impetus to the
new local line project. Some time ago
a representative of a we'll known con-
struction company in Chicago made a
personal visit to this city and called on
the several members of the streets and
alleys committee and Gesred to ascer-
tain their feeling toward a local line.
The members of the committee were
noncommittal, and the agent returned
to Chicago without gaining any definite
information on the subject. However,
the Chicago company has not given
up and direct effort is now being
made to make some arrangements
with the committee to bring the thing
before the citizens in the regular man
ner.
The company;s representative was in
the city last week and the members Of
the committee, after short talk with
him, have concluded to give the matter
a thorough investigation, and secure
the line if 1t is possible and practical.
The new company have made direct
proposition to the committee, and are
asking for no favors at all. They do
not even seek to be exempt from tax
alton, but ask only for the franchise.
When asked as to the length of the
proposed line, the agent of the Chicago
firm said that they had figured on it
and would make it of such length
that it would reach all parts of the city
and furnish a good local line to the
Sanitarium. The committee were at
first doubtful about the line, fearing
that it was a connection of the M Z.
& K. road, but it has been discovered
that there is no connection between the
two roads, and if the new line is built
it will be exceedingly hard for the
inter urban line to gain all entrance
into the city. The managers of the
proposed line are ready to accept a
franchise and begin work as soon as
the weather permits.
A repi sentative of the committee
will go to Chicago this week and make
a further examination in the matter,
and the result of this conference will
place the matter more fully before the
people. The company that makes the
proposition is said to be an excellent
one, and has now in operation several
successful local lines in cities about
Chicago Whatever may be the out
come the matter will be closely watched
by all citizens who have resident prop
erty for sale in the suburban portions
of the city.
