An Unusual Occurrence.

How Col. Bradford Lost His ARM
An Unusual Occurrence.
If Sir Edward Bradford had given no
other service ~ his country than those
which during the past few years he has
SO brilliantly performed as head Of the
metropolitan police force, he would
have well earned the honor that his
sovereign has just bestowed upon him.

sasacity with which the arrangements

Queens day We're conceived. and the
literally perfect manner in which they
were carried out.
Colonel Sir Edward Ridley Colborne

very distinguished career in the army

of many hard-fought battle. He be-
came major In 1878. lieutenant colo

When. in 1890, the post of commits
sioner Of metropolitan police fell va
cant, and was offered to Sir Edward
Bradford. who in 1855 had been pro-
noted from c. S. I. to X. G. 8. l., there
were many who expressed dissent from
the policy Of again placing the civil

Another ChaInlees.

One of the latest chainless gears diff
fers from all previous inventions OF the
same type in the respect that 1t Is not
driven by rotating rod and beveled
gear. but the power is transmitted to
the driving gear by two eccentrics. be-
ing worked by gear contained in a
small case above the bottom bracket.
The pedal motion is rotary, similar to
that Of an ordinary chain driven ma
chine. The necessary cogs composing
the gear are all run on ball-bearings.
and are protected from dust and dirt By
being inclosed in small case. which is
easily removable. The frame Is clip
teal in shape. two elliptical tubes run
ming from the top and bottom OF the
head, and is thus minus the top bar.

| When the robbers found the express
car locked they resorted to giant powder
to open It and were obliged To fire three
shots before it gave way. On opening
the car they went at once to the through
safe and blew large hole in It with one
shot. The fireman was compelled to

is not entirely correct. After the

less for telling the age of horse which
