the trade The American wheel of today is
far ahead of its English cousin in perfec-
ton of detail and finish. Possibly this is
the reason that the American maker has
been able to produce a lighter, and at the
same time equally serviceabe bicycle. as
the foreign maker. Bungling chain adjust
nents have caused trouble to the rider and
much profanity.
There is vast difference in the running
qualities of bicycles, and while this is in a
measure due to the superiority of construc-
ton, in many cases it can be traced to care
taken in the adjustment of the machine. A
good bicycle, like a good horse, or any other
good article, requires a proper treatment,
and cleanliness is the first and most impor-
tant feature. Many riders are apt to ride
mile after mile over all kinds of roads, and at
al seasons or the year, without thought of
cleaning their machines beyond a desultory
wlping of the tubing when the accumulated
CRIME and mud becomes too pronounced
me most important part of bicycle re-
curing attention is the chain. When one
stops to consider the numerous small pieces
that constitute this part of the driving gear
and its exposed position in regard to the
elements, 1t is not to be wondered that al
lowed to go for itself, is should go wrong.
rev riders bother to remove the chain from
the sprocket wheels in cleaning but this
simple operation should be done at least once
a week, and each link and block wiped care
1ully, removing every trace of dirt and grit.
In case of rust it is a good plan to soak the
chain over night in kerosene oil, after which
treatment il should be carefully wiped off.
When the chain Is removed the sprockets
should be cleaned and the bearings exam
ined, and any sideplay taken UP by the ad-
Justing cones. A ball bearing should be
frightened just enough to allow II to revolve
without binding. The task Of adjustment is
not dffhcult one and a little practice will
enable one to become quite expert. 1t is we'll
however: to refrain from tinkering too much,
as all hrst-ciass bicycles are carefully ad-
Justed by experts before shipment and rarely
require any attention to the bearings.

GAMBETTA,s DEATH.
There Was a Quarrel and Then a
Revolver Shot.
London Chronicle.

London Chronicle
The mysterious death of Gambetta
has again been made a subject of con-
troversy. The Gambettists would pro-
badly have done better to allow the
whole truth to creep out, as it could
only have ended in a discreet police
investigation. Here it is as given by
M. Henri Hecht, one of Gambetta' 8
closest friends, and possibly Sir Charles
Dixie could confirm the version if he
liked
The deceased stateman had been liv-
ing for some years with a lady whose
probably assumed name was Nine.
Leonie Leon. A son was born of this
union, who was educated by pro-
fessor in Hanover. He is now in the
French army. The marriage of Gam
BETA with rich Bordeaux heiress be-
ing announced, a terrible scene took
place between the pair at Les Jardies
The report of a revolver was heard by
Paul, the faithful valet, but Gambetta
made signs to show that no explanation
was to be given.
In the course Of his last illness, Paul
confided the real circumstances to a
couple of friends, who recommended
silence. Nine. Leonde Leon was pres
ent at the death. The story of imprud-
emily manipulating a revolver is only
true in the sense that that can easily be
OWNED.

PETRIFIED FOREST.
SOnomass Wonderful Vegetable FOs-
sfIs of Giant Size.

Sis OF UIant Slzts
San Francisco Call.
In the beautiful Sonoma foothills Of
the Coast Range, at the base Of Mount
st: Helena, is fossil forest Of conf
fers which might we'll be considered
the Eighth Wonder of the World. The
place. being off the main lines Of travel
has comparatively few visitors, and Of
late years is not even accessible by
stage.
There is guide living at the en-
trance of the forest. For a small fee
he showed us all it's wonders and point
ed out many beauty that we might
not otherwise have seen. Once inside,
we found ourselves in the midst Of
gray lava outcroppings, and climbed
single file up smooth steps worn in the
slanting bed. The place is overgrown
with gnarly trees and chaparral,
though we saw some unusually large
madrones near the entrance.
Farther on he plunged us midway on
a sharp-angled scarp, where he paused
to smite with his Ratchet huge Sec
ton o@ redwood. "It sounds like pot
metal an is heavier than granite.
Here's two redwoods side by side
that's so brittle they've broke O. their
own weight. You see how they all lay
the same way, from north to south,
jes' as they fell when the 'ruption from
Helena struck 'em. This hui forest of
so acres was covered with lava sub
stance as was belched out, and it hez

These fossil trees are in two tiers in
parallelogram a mile in extent from
east to west, and about quarter of a
mile from north to south, the roots be-
Ing invariably toward the north They
lie at an angle of from 5 to 35 degrees,

More than 20 years ago Swede nam
ed Charles Evans was the first to dis
cover this remarkable collection Of
petrifactions. and, seeing it's value, ''got
his SheepSkin for the claim" as our
pioneer guide worded it. Since then a
small fee has been charged for admit
lance.
Although petrifactions occur in var
ious places on this coast, there is no
where found anything to compare with
these in Sonoma. One can only wonder
and admire, being assured of the fact
that here are found vast numbers Of
primordial conifers, all giants in size,

overthrown by volcanic force, land the

THE FIRST JEWELS.
They Were Recovered From the
Tomb of an Egyptian Queen.

Tomb of an Egyptian Queen.
London Times.
The earliest jewels the pedigree Of
which can be traced, lie in the museum
of Boolak. in Egypt. They belonged
to Queen Ahahotep, a queen Of the
eighteenth dynasty in Egypt appar-
s. c. There is, however, much dispute
as to the date Of her reign. In 1859 her
tomb was opened by NJ. Marietta,
where it lay in the Valley Of the Tomb
Of the Kings. When her coffin was
opened remarkable collection Of
precious stones and jewels was found
within. The most important of these
was a diadem of gold and enamel set
on the head of the queen. This had
an inscription in gold on a ground Of
lapis laZuli and a sphinx couchant on
each side. A small porcelain cylinder
is ornamented with interIaced lotus
flowers in intaglio and a gold drop in
laid with turquoise in the shape of a
fig. To the center Of a gold chain is
fastened a scarabaeus Of solid gold
inlaid with lapis lazuh, and a bracelet
of quite modern pattern is decorated
with figures in repousse, with a ground
inlafd with lapis laZuli. 1t is plain from
this account that lapis lazuli was the
most commonly used Of the precious
stones. 1t is interesting to obse I'VE
that 1t is also mentioned in Job, One
Of the oldest books in the world. 1t is
probable that the ancients did not ~
derstand how to cut diamonds owing
tC their hardness.
