The Water Bicycle.

Ball bearings and scientific gear alN
creating Il revolution in motors of all
sorts. A new and promising invention
is the hydrocycle, which is built on the
catamaran principle, with cylinders OK
galvanized steel filled with air.
slight framework connects these two
cylinders, and a bicycle gear is attach
ed which drives light paddlcWheels of
eight blades. The sprOcket-Wheel IS
set between the pedals in the same way
as the sprocket-wheel and chain Of the
bicycle. The steering gear consists OF
two small steel rudders, operated by
rudder-chainS connected with the
steering gear, somewhat after the fash
ion of the ordinary bicycle.
The hydrocycle is capable of speed
of ten miles an hour without hard
work, and as the craft is 50 built that
it can neither sink nor upset, the pleas
ure and safety of it are at once appar-
ent. The cylinders are made with colH-
partments so arranged that the frac|
-ture of one will not affect the others.
The machine sits lightly on the water,
can be turned in almost its own length.

of a much larger size 1t draws but
few inches Of water, is light, man
ageable and novel, a combination Of
qualities that makes 1t extremely at
tractive to those who are fond of water
sports. Those already built will carry
five or six hundred pounds, and are
about ten feet in length of cylinder.
Only a few have been built but the
experiments already made are sutli-
cient to satisfy experts that the hydro
cycle is one Of the coming fads, ana
promises to furnish a great deal OF
pleasurable amusement.

Els hing for Sharks.

Capt. Stephen and the crew of the
British ship Whitlieburn, which arriv-
ed in New York from Calcutta a few
days since, either hooked or shot thir-
teen huge sharks in the Indian Ocean
and South Atlantic.
As fas; as the monsters heads were
pulled above water Capt. stephen. who
is a dead shot with his Martini Henry
rifle, would send bullet into them.
Capt Stephen one day shot three
sharks which had not been hooked.
One of them, a fellow about nine feet
long, jumped its whole length out Of
the ocean when the bullet struck it's
head. Then it Topped back into the
water dead.
The biggest shark caught was fifteen
feet long. 1t was pulled over the poop
rail by Mate Winchester, Second Mate
Black and eleven men. Second Mate
Black has made the backbone into
walking sticks. When the Whitlieburn
came into the harbor the other day she
had her jib-boom end ornamented
with sharks tails for good luck.-New

Lyman J. Gage has recently admitted
that his bank loaned 100000 to the
Yellow Pine Lumber Co. in direct
violation of the law, which provides
that no bank shall loan more than 10
per cent. of its capital stock to one
man or corporation. To conceal this
violation Of law 100000 of this loan
was charged off, to profit and loss as

himself says, The Yellow Pine Lum-
Co. is n strong concern. with valu-
able property and large holdings Of

Will not lose any of its loan" 1t will
be remembered that the National
Bank Of Illinois was forced into liqui-

tion of the Chicago clearing house, of
which Mr.. Cages bank is the most in

legged was that loan had been made
in excess of the 10 per cent. limit and

If an American city We're to under
take a great public enterprise for the
good Of the people, such as is now in
successful operation in the English
town of Manchester, the Federal judi
ciary, under orders from the corpora
tions, would instantly put Il stop to it
as an unconstitutional proceeding.
Manchester has just broken up the
meat trust that long plundered her peo-
pie, by the erection of municipal cold
storage plant. owned and operated by
the city. The result is that the price Of
meat has come down one-third, and
without in any way causing loss of en-
ployment or wages to anyone. The
money has simply been saved out of the
revenue formerly paid to two million
aires for doing nothing but enjoy a
monopoly. MancheSter's cold storage
plant Was completed in 1893. 1t is the
largest Of its kind in the world, having
ample facilities for the entire meat sup
ply Of lue city. The local butchers and
retailers are once more able TO make
a living. being freed from their former
terror Of the trust. The citiZcrs are
able to have meat on their tables with
out paying tribute to strangers. But,

city would be permitted to attempt
such an enterprise. One city in the
northwest tried a similar plan five
years ago. A clique of Wall street
magnates got an order from Il Federal
judge and the plan was stopped under
threats o. Imprisonment.
