A 10000 MILE COLUMBIA.

There are great many new wheels to
be seen at the Cycle Show, but very few
old ones and in exhibiting one of the lat
ter the Pope Manufacturing company have
attracted considerable attention toward
themselves. In point Of time the wheel is
really not particularly aged, being a
model of the 1897 Columbia, but it is old
in usage, having been ridden 10, 600 miles
without a break in any point This fact
alone is enough to work the wheel as
marvel for strength, but when you know
that the wheel has been ridden hundred
miles day, fifty miles i'm the morning by
one rider and fifty miles in the afternoon
by another, day after day over the toughest
roads in Connecticut and through all sorts
of weather, it is plain TO be seen that the
wheel has shown the greatest possible
strength and lasting qualities. But one
puncture in the tire is the result of this
severe practical testing

of the Board of Registration, President
John r. kcndrickNof the Common Council

between the terms "voter" and "citizcn, ="
and also explained the various qllalifca-
tions by which voters are grouped in diff
erent CLASSES.
President Kendrick explained the theory
of municipal legislation and the principles
upon which government in Providence is
based. Then to illustrate ne took con-
crete cases and followed step by step the
process by which bill or resolution
finally becomes operative and explained
the value of the committee as he went
along.

New Bedford began last nights game

1t has remained for Miss Emily Soldene
to write most interesting, and certainly
the most sensational book, of the season.
This volume which was published five or
six weeks ago was received with indifler-
ence on its appearance, but as its frank
revelations about the gilded youth of
statesmen and fathers of family men like
Lord Rosebery and Lord Dunraycn-be-
gan to he known, there has been a great
rush for the book. Most of the men who
% years ago, were going the pace in Lon
don have read its pages with fear and
trembling while the rest of the upper
ten" are chuckling over Miss Soldene's
revelations. Miss Soldene first went TO
America in 1874. Her company was
known as the Soldene English opera
bouffe company They opened at tie
Lyceum theatre in 18th street, New York.
This is how the artist describes the New
York women:
The ladies were most eXtravagantly
dressed in the street, wearing long bright
eeleFea silk bfeeaae ef ffft,ife teitiei
trailed in the dust. The American lady of
1874 was of an entirely different physique
to the American lady of 1896 She was
fragile with tiny fat feet and had no in
step. She was made up TO an alarming
extent, not only her face but her figure.
They wore diamonds at breakfast and cut
through the vast space of the hotel din
ing room with elevated, thin, nasal, me
tallic voices that made ones skin creep.
They lived on huge undcr-done porter
house steaks roast beef rare, ice cream,
iced water, candies, hot cakes and mo-
lasscs. They never drank anything
strong except In the seclusion Of their
sleeping apartments, and then with the
intelligence of the ostrich, they stood the
empty bottles outside the door. These
ladies in those days used to call us beefy
Britishcrs. OF course, MT the time we
could not retaliate, but some women can
wait.
Miss Soldene has no scruples in giving
the names of the gilden youth OF London
who regularly waited at the stage door
the emergence of the fair chorus girls
The list includes the Marquis of Bland
ford, Lord Rosebery Lord McDuff, Mar
quis of Anglo Sir Douglas Straight, Lord
Dunley Lord Londesberough, Sir George
Wombcll, Sir James Farquharson and

Professor Lyell, during his travels in
this country, arrived at the conclusion
that tie age of the Niagara river is about
81, 900 years. This led TO much discussion
among scientific men and the opinions
advanced by them were widely at vari.
ance. Recently DIR. Spencer has made a
new and careful computation of the age
of the river and falls with some inter-
csting results as compared with the in
vcstigations by Professor Lyell and others.
He remarks that the recent estimates have
not taken into account the various
changes which have occurred in the fall
and volume of the river his calculations
approximating, in value, nearly to
Iyells His opinion is that Niagara
river was formed 81, 0C0 years ago, that
thousand years later the falls were i'm cx-

One Of the inventions i'm the line of
musical Instruments is an organ in which
an orchestrion or mechanical organ and
an organ with two manuals and full
set Of pedals are combined The usual
method of operating orchestrions is TO
wind them up but in this instrument
new system of driving has been provided.
A bellows or feed supplies "a current of
air under pressure As the jet Of air
leaves the supply pipe 1t strikes a series of
cups which revolve on shaft connected
TO the driving mechanism OF the instru-
nent. The principle employed is that of
the well known cup thermometer. The
power required is very small, as there is
no long train of gearing to cause friction.
IL is found that the mechanical barrels
do not interfere i'm the least with the per-
formance of an organist. The feeders are
placed in room under the organ, and
driven by water pressure from the street
