SOUND SENSE ABOUT SPROCKETs

A bicycle expert says There is an
other delusion working. The public in
general is not supposed to study mechaE-
ical matters and is apt to be led by de-
fusion. The one to which l now refer
is the using of larger sprockets. To il
lustrate--of course eXaggerating-take
two sprocket wheels, one ten feet and the
other six feet in diameter, with chain
upon them, and attempt to turn them
with a siX-inch crank. This will prove
that there is no gain in leverage. But
chain running over large sprockets
could be much lighter; that is, the strain
upon the chain would be less than over
smaller sprocketS, were it not for other
facts which overbalance this theory
The chain over the large sprockets has
more points of contact for friction and
has to be very much longer-therefore
has to run farther and faster-and the
higher the speed the more the centrifu-
gal force, which throws the chain out as
water is thrown from grindstone, there
by causing a slack chain to be tight
one, and very tight. This calls for a
stronger chain because of this additional
strain of friction, to say nothing of the
extra weight of this longer chain and
larger sprockets, the unsightly appear
ance and the difficulty of covering with
chain gaurd or gear case. These larger
sprockets were tried years ago and dis
carded. There is absolutely nothing in
favor but much against them, as is the
case with some of the new gears and
chains that are exhibited. A man is
endowed with certain physical and mus
cular powers which cannot be increased
except by practice and training. You
can't put an extra motor in a man. He
must take advantage of what he has
and this only can be done by reducing
friction. Anything that reduces friction
is in the right direction. 1 am an un-
believer in gears or complications, and
nothing has yet been shown that does
not increase friction. When someone
invents a gear or chain and sprocket
that will not show wear, then they will
be getting something worth while. You
cannot transmit power around a corner
as in level gearing without great in
crease of friction, and so far the chain
is the best and most direct transmission
Of power. Here is an open field for
workers. But, don't do anything that
increases friction, for you cannot increase

MEDICOS MEET.
And Listen While the President Talks
on Physic.

NDw YORK, Jan. 29.-The occasion
of the New York Academy of Medicine
at Carnegie hall tonight was made au-
spicious by the presence of President
Cleveland, who arrived in this city early
in the evening. The president was in
vited to attend the celebrat ton by DR..
Joseph D. Bryant, who is president of
the academy, and also Mr.. Cleveland's S
private physician.
President Cleveland spoke In part as
follows: l have anticipated the share
assigned to me on this occasion with
considerable trepidation, / believe, De-
cause of my inability to discover salts
factory grounds for my right to join
. those who celebrate the semi-centennial
of a medical association.
The president said he had come to rep
resent the vast army of patients and
laymen. He spoke in a humorous vein
of what the medical profession owes to
his class, who by indulging all sorts of
irregularities allow the doctors to make
fat fees.
He then spoke of the great progress
that has been made in the practice of
medicine of late years.
Continuing, the president paid a
homely tribute to the old-time family
doctor. Though ignorant of many af the
remedies and appliances now in use, the
president said, the old-time physician
supplied the deficiency by hard d-headed
judgment well observed experience and
careful nursing.
The president said he hoped the ad-
vance in medical science would continue
and he. phophesied that there need be
no fear that Americas contribution to
the splendid results would be deficient.
Following the exercises at Carnegie
hall the president held brief reception
at the Academy of Medicine.

Mr.. MacLe2r's amendment recitod
that in view of the peaceful settlement
of the South African question and the
punishment Of the Transvaal raiders,
II would he incxpedient to reopen the
matter and that there was no necessity
TO reappoint the committee. He urged
that the great public service OF Col. Cecil
Rhodes. that the fact that he succeeded
in preventing the compact between The
Transvaal and Germany from becoming
settled fact, absolved Col Rhodes
from all blame. This amendment was
withdrawn today after Mr.. Chamber
lain had made statement in which he
declared that the situation in South Af-
rica had undoubtedly become most crit
zeal during the last few months.
There had been, he explained. recur-
renee of unrest. Recent legislation ~
the Transvaal was partly contrary to
the convention of London, and Presi-
dent Kruger had not kept his promise to
give fun and favorable consideration
of the grievances of the population
Continuing, Chamberlain said he didInot
blame President Kruger personally; he
only wis7hed the presidents hands to be
strengthened in his policy. The Char
tered company, he added, had no reason
to fear an inquiry, and he believed the
company would be able to show good
case. Mr.. Chamberlain then remarked
AN inquiry into the origin of the raid
would be sham unless 1t carefully in
quired into the Uitlanders' grievance,
and this opens up pitfalls of difficulties.
Nevertheless the government will press
the reappointment of committee with
an increase of its number to seventeen,
in order to enable the Irish members to
be represented"

GRECIAN TROUBLES
The College Closed and the Students
Rioting


LONDON, Jan. 30.-A dispatch to the
Telegraph from Athens says: Trouble
has been brewing at the university for
several days past, owing to quarrel
between the students and Professor GAL
vaelani. The students finally armed
themselves and took possession of the
premises, remaining there for three days
and three nights.
Yesterday (F'riday) the Grecian gov
ernment decided to close the university.
A line of troops was accordingly thrown
around the buildings and the water sup
ply was cut off. 1t was estimated that
fully 500 students remained within the
walls of the university. Those within
the buildings were allowed to leave at
any time, but admission was absolutely
refused by the troops to all persons. A
demonstration by the students who re-
manned on the streets was accordingly
planned. Professions Of the students at
tempted to reach the palace for the pur-
pose of demanding from the king the
dismissal of Professor Galvaelani. The
police and the troops resisted the stu
dents mob and the authorities finally
ordered firearms discharged in the air
The students returned the fire, in the
main using revolvers. During the fight
a boy was killed and several others
wounded. At a meeting of the city coun-
Gil last night it was decided to maintain
the blockade of the university buildings
until the students yield to the authori-
ties
The university was founded in 1887 and
during recent years over 1900 students
have been in annual attendance.

siderable quantity nearly pure. Before
l had learned the nature of these depos-
it's, l called them accumulationts of coal
dust or of fine cinders from some fur
mace, and passed them by without second
thought, until at last it occurred to me
that the supposition was not reasonable.
The investigation that naturally fol-
lowed resulted in the discovery of the
facts stated above.
The sand is subject to the freaks Of
the wind as we'll as of the waves, and
with results still more rema rkable.
Walking over the sand fields in strong
wind is as uncomfortable and, as danger
Gus to the sight as facing severe storm
of sleet. The air is then filed with fly
ing particles that sting sharply when
ever they strike an exposed part of the
body. Dead trees, beaten for years by
this natural sand blast, gradually wear
away below and finally fall The moving
power of the wind over this material is
shown by the frequent formation of
drifts more than a foot in depth during Il
single storm, and by the immense hills
or dunes that have been accommodating
and shifting for ages. These great piles,
some of them several hundred feet high,
line the coast in an almost urIbroken
chain, some more or less conical in shape,
others forming ridges. On the eastern
shore the dunes appear to be gradually
moving to the eastward at the rate of a
few inches or a few feet each year, ac-
cording to the intensity and frequency
of the prevailing westerly winds. Should
a forest stand in the way of this creep
ing mass, it is slowly buried alive. Where

WERE MARRIED At SEA
A Young Couples Experience
That Was Romantic
suspicious OF A SISTER
She Invoked the Laws Power TO Spoil a
Match
The Bride and Groom Explain Things
at the Police Station and the
Sun Shone Again.

One happy young couple came very
near finding a jog in the course of their
true love Thursday night, all on account
of the watchful zeal of an elder relative
to one of the twain. John w. Leach, an
employe of the Cudahy Packing COM
pany, loved gentle maiden of scarcely
sixteen summers-too young to be legal
ly married in the ordinary way withou.
the consent of parents or guardian.
This consent was not to be had, but
Jove found the way around that obsta-
Gle.
Leach and his sweetheart went to Re-
dondo where they boarded a schooner,
sailed out to sea and were married by
the skipper in the usual marine form.
When this was done the young couple
returned to Los Angeles and took a room
at the Manhattan on Broadway, be-
tween First and Second streets, to pass
their honeymoon.
A sister of the bride, Mrs. II. L. Smys-
er, living on Main street, learned in
some manner of the couples presence
at the Manhattan and not KNOWN &
they had been married she set about TO
break up an unholy alliance. Mrs.
Smyser found Officer Redfern and se-
curing MIN as an escort SHe went 10 tne
Manhattan, learned that the youthful!
people had engaged a room there but
that Leach and the girl at the time
were somewhere out on the street.
Mrs. Smyser and the officer. rein
forced by Officer Bob Stewart then
watched, on the streets for the
young people, and finally saw them
etrolling along, oblivious Of impending
interference in their bliss Officer Stew
art told Leach that he would have to go
along with him to the station. The
young woman took the affair as joke
and seemed greatly amused, though
Leach could not see so much fun, in the
matter. At the station Leach produced
the certificate of marriage that had been
issued to him by the schooner captain,
thus showing that he had right to the
joint use of room at the Manhattan or
anywhere else with the young woman he
had welded.
The explanation was satisfactory to
the sister and the officers, and after the
usual congratulations the suspected
young people were permitted to go their
way and enjoy life.
The elder sister was the only relative
of the bride who figured in this little do
mestic episode, no parent being pres
ent.

HINTS FOR WOMEN

When cut flowers become wilted they
may frequently be freShened by chip
ping off the ends and dipping the stems
in hot water for a few moments.
When putting away silverware that
is not in use all the time do not neglect
to sprinkle a few tiny bits of camphor
gum in each case before rolling it up;
then, If the silver is put away in close
box it will not become discolored!
Often the window glass requires to be
cleaned, but it is so cold and the air so
full of frost that it does not seem ad :
visable to wash the glass with water
Try a flannel cloth; moisten it with par
affin OH and rub the glass with it. Have
at hand a fresh flannel cloth and RIB
over the glass with it. This method will
give better results than soap and water.
A woman who likes to have uncommon
things in her home has discovered that
the clear glass jars such as are used
for electric batteries make admirable
flower holders. She gets them at an
electrical supply house, and at one visit
found an old jar two feet high and not
more than five inches across, into which
a trio of American beauty roses goes with
rare effect.
Crates, ranges and stoves should be
polished or blackened when they are
cold, or the blackening will scale off.
Here Is a good polish for rubbing and
furnishing the steel and nickel portions:
Mix a tablespoonful of sweet oil and a
tablespoonful of turpentine together, ad-
ding emery powder until the mass is of
the consistency of cream. Apply with a
flannel cloth and finish off with a final
polish of dry emery.
Small round tables that look at first
glance like those intended for smokers
use serve q valuable purpose in lady s
dressing room. They have, attached
to the polished tops, all paraphernalia
needed to crimp the hair. including safe
ty match box, alcohol lamp with tongs
standard, hairpiD tray and bandoline jar.
The tables are in oak or mahogany finish
and the attachments In various metals,
