A Chicago editor has been taking a
look at Chicago 100 years hence and
describes it as a city of 100000 in
habitants and 1000 square miles of ter
ritory." For a Chicago editor this is
modest. indeed.

In the time of Henry VII of Eng

which prohibited all of his majesty 5
subjects except the nobility and the
royal family from playing cards,
a diversion which was at that time
new and very popular This act was
to only be in force during the Christ
mas holidays. The original act pro
hibited card games by any of his
majesty's subjects, but the king re-
fused to sign it and severely re-
buked parliament for presrming to
interfere with the pastimes of his

SIXTY MILES AN HouR..
A Speed That Cannot BE Maiatafn<a
on n Bicycle.

bicycle.
The general use of the bicycfs by
those who know nothing whatever of
mechanical laws is productive or large
and perennial crop of inventions,
which, whether the Inventors know it
or not, can succeed only by upsetting
one or more laws that are so well estab-
hshed and so certainly right that any
mechanical continuance which at
tempts TO get around them is q, fore
doomed failure Many men who would
repel with scorn the accusation of be-
ing perpetual motion cranks are yet
trying to accomplish and in some cases
claiming to have accomplished things
which are in principle are precisely the
same; for it is literally true that when
a man imagines that by the use of
leverage" or by some ''eontraption- or
''gimcrack" he can put one-nTan power
into a bicycle and get out of 1t four or
five times as much in work againstsvind
resistance or in climbing hills, that
man IS virtually.a perpetual motion
crank.
One mile q minute seems TO be the
favorite speed of those who imagine
their inventions are going TO 'revolu-
tionize" cycle construction, and Il may
be worth while to examine this q little
4 force equal 10 one pound moving ut
the rate of one mile in one minute is
equal 10 .16 horsepower. The pres
sure OF a wind moving at the rate of 60
miles per hour is variously given, but
by no authority at less than about los
pounds per square foot. Assuming
that rider and his wheel expose n
surface of three square feet to wind re-
sistance, we have for the power re-
qui-ed to overcome this resistance at
the given speed: los times 3 times
10 equals 5.04, or a little otef five horse
power. A man can ordinarily exert
about L horsepower, but for a short
| time may exert five times as much, :
which would still leave him far short of
| the power required for pushing himself
through the atmosphere at the rate of
| 60 miles an hour.
improvements may be intrss7uced
| that will somewhat lessen friction, but
| FRACTIONAL resistance in the present ma
| chine, when well made and in good or
| der is insignificant when compared
with wind resistance at high speed.
| Most of the contraptions heralded
| from time to time would increase,
rather than lessen, the frictional re-
sistance, while they do not pretend to
affect either way the chief obstacle to
! high speed.
If one could dispense with air. i. e..
ride in vacuum, or in air moving at
| the same rate as himself, there would
be scarcely any reasonable limit to the
| speed possible to be attained with the
present machine, if sufficiently high
geared. but that would not be real cy.

she could not initiate it.

with hard, little laugh. THERE'S to be

Of one thing that I am thankful for,
unless it is that this dull life will soon
XII me-"
Why, Mrs. Clair! 1 supposed that
you were thankful that you and Mr.
Clair were still living in the borderland
of bliss that lovers imagine will last
There was a moments silence.
Agatha was busy fastening the collar
of her pretty green serge. Outside the
window, opened 20 admit the crisp au-
tumnal air, white-faced man leaned
against the house, the golden straw
with which he had been covering the
pansy bed blowing unheeded about his
feet.
II am thankful that we have merged
into the land of common sense. If we
had done it year and half ago life
might still mean something for me.
Now I see I have made a mistake"
Ten minutes later Eugene Clair came
forward to put his wife and Mrs. Ferris
into the waiting carriage. He replied
courteously TO the question of his
neighbor, and as they were starting.
said:
"Good-by. Agatha"
But Agatha was too busy covering her
dress with the robe to do more than
nod in reply.
The sun, red and angry-looking, was
just disappearing behind the forest
crowned hills west of Agatha's home
when Mrs. Ferris left her at the ga te.
The wind walled loudly around the
house. and the young wife shivered as
she hurried up the path.

said TO herself. He always remembers

For once he lad not remembered.
The house was empty and cold. On the
