OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DEVICE.
An Invention Which May Prove Su-
periOr to the Chainless Gear.

An Invention Which May Prove SUI
periOr to the Chainless Gear.
A Cincinnati man has invented a power
transmitter to be applied to the bicycle,
which some, who have seen it, declare will
stop further development of the chainless
wheel 1t is claimed for the invention that
it is so far superior to anything ever
dreamed of in the chainless pattern that it
will become popular at once and supplant
all other styles of gear. The gearing looks
almost like the standard chain gear. The
front sprocket and the chain are the same.
There is a rear sprocket similar to the ordi-
nary small sprocket but it is loose on the
hub. Attached to the rear sprocket are
arms extending several inches beyond the
teeth of the SprOcket, and on each side of
the Sprocket are circular discs fastened to
the hub. AS the loose spTocket revolves,
the arms on 1t engage grooves in the discs
and turn the rear wheel. 1t is claimed for
this manner of transmitting power that all
the power of the longer leverage of the
large discs is obtained, and only the eXer-
ton necessary to turn the regular-sized
sprocket; and that the gearing is calculated
by the same method as though the levers
and discs We're not there. 1t is also claimed
that as the arms engage only one groove
in the discs at q time, friction does not
waste the power as in the case of the
binary chain gear. where the chain pulls
the rear SprOcket over a distance of about
one fourth of it's circumference.

schock Likes the New wheel.

Speaking of the new chainless wheel of

lawyer, Albert Schock, the six-day cham
pion, said to New York reporter:

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA
A New Remedy which win Do 1t.

Chronic dyspepsia is considered by many
people to be nearly If not quite incurable
No good reason can be given why they
think so except that perhaps they have
tried various remedies without much, if
any, benefit. But the progress in every
branch of medicine has been such that
among other things q lasting cure for indi-
gestion in it's chronic form as we'll as tenn
porary has been discovered and is now
placed before the public strictly on it's
merits as permanent cure for all stomach
troubles or difficulties with the digestive
organs.
This new treatment Is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. being put up in tablet
form so as to be easily taken and also to
preserve its good qualities for an indefinite
length of time.
This remedy has produced surprising eff
in many cases where ordinary. remedies
failed to give even relief. Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets have fully cured
The splendid results from using this prep
aration are owing to the fact that Ii is
prepared and intended for dyspepsia and
stomach troubles only. 1t is not a cure
all like so many advertised remedies,
claiming to cure everything under the sun,
but il is claimed that IL Is a certain cure
for dyspepsia, and any one suffering from
any form of indigestion cannot fail to get
permanent relief and cure from its use.
Ii is SO prepared and the ingredients are
of such a nature that when the tablets
are taken into the stomach they digest the
food no matter whether the stomach Is in
good working order or not, You get sus-
tenance and strength TO mind and body
by reason of the food being properly di-
gested and at the same time the much-
abused stomach IS allowed 10 rest and re-

A new kind of cycle track has been put
down in one of the London riding schools.
In this track the various surfaces that the
cyclist will encounter in wheeling on the
roads are provided to accustom him to the
actual conditions of road riding. circular
ring of the school is constructed in four
sections, with surfaces of wood, asphalt,
granite cubes and macadam. The first les
sons-in the elementary arts OF balancing,
Steering. mounting and dismounting-can
be learned on the board surface that con-
stitutes the remainder of the floor, and
then the novice can acquire the experience
necessary to tackle with success the ordi-
nary riding conditions of the roads on the
track. BY dverging at one point from this
track practice can also be obtained in hill
climbing ana descending on two inclined
planes with a connecting level surface.
