WHEELING AND HEALTH.

II Used in Moderation the Exercise Is
Generally Beneficial.
At the Hospital Medical society in
Paris, long discussion has been going
on as to the benefit o. harm to be de-
rived from bicycle riding, most of the
members taking part having had per-
sonal experience with the machine. NJ.
Petit concludes that people suffering
from cardiac affections should abstain
altogether or ride with extreme moder-
alton. Phthisical people should ride
but little, while those predisposed to
tubercle have derived great benefit
from the exercise, as have also those
suffering from certain nervous affec-
tions. NJ. Hallopean said the bicycle
was not physiological method of pro-
gression and offered both advantages
and disadvantages. The latter were
especially marked in cardiac subjects.
Even when free from cardiac disease
riding provoked painful sensations
connected with the heart in certain peo-
pie. RidingNup steep hills or against
head winds should be avoided. Numb
ness experienced by some in the toes
was pronounced due to pressure of the
saddle on the sciatic nerves. NJ Rendu
had seen symptoms of angina pectoris
after long ride in physician who had
never before exhibited any signs o. a
diseased heart. The exercise was, how
ever, decided to be generally beneficial
if used in moderation.-Chicago IntAt

CARE OF THE WHEEL.
Device for Cleaning the Bicycle Aft
er n Mud Bath.

er n Mud Bath.
How to keep bicycle immaculate
after bad weather is a problem which
causes no little worry to the "rain-or-
shine" riding division. On the other
side of the Atlantic, where Jupiter Plu-
vius victimizes cyclists more frequent
ly than he does here, riders are forced
to study the subject thoroughly in
order to keep up with the procession.
Clogged chains and muddy tires keep
many an enthusiast off his favorite
route in sloppy weather, but, the great
majority take chances on the going"
rather than remain inactive, and to
these the following item from the Field
may furnish some useful hints:
"1'he large number of bicycles now in
use has made the production of innum-
cradle minor accessories remuner-
ative business, and every variety of ap-
pliance that can be of use or interest to
the wheelman has been designed and
placed upon the market. 1t cannot be
said that the majority of these are in
any way indispensable, but those which
are designed to facilitate the care and
cleaning of the bicycle are Of undoubt-
ed utility. The labor involved in remov-
ing from the modern type of bicycle
the mud accumulated in ride in wet
weather is considerable, and those who
from choice or necessity care for their
bicycles with their own hands are glad
to avail themselves OF the numerous
special articles now procurable. Among
other contrivances, is a chain brush.
This consists of couple of little
brushes attached side by side, each of
which tapers to point so that
they can be thrust into the links
of the chain. In cases where no
gear case is used, and the chain has
to be frequently cleaned, this brush will
be found very useful"

A Ne,v Use for RicycIen.

The rates for carrying cycles in
Europe are now so low that great
number of cyclists take their machines
over to the continent with them, and
on the return journey fiji the pneumatic
tires with tobacco, small bottles of per-
fume, lace, cigars and even TASKS Of
spirits specially made. When the
steamers arrive from the continent, and
there are number of bicycles on board,
the officers adopt very simple plan of
inspection, but one which, requires
some practice and experience before it
can be relied on. They do not unscrew
the air-tube, nor, of course, cut the tire.
They simply cause the wheels to re-
volve sharply and then listen attentive

by each rotation. Short slots in the
side of the frame give the proper
play.
A connecting rod, which in principle
resembles that of an ordinary locomo-
tive, although it is light, runs back
from the frame to the crank on the rear
wheel. The to-and-fro motion of the
frame, under the influence of the lobes
of the disk, corresponds to that of pis-
ton. Mr.. Kirkman has made a steel
model of a part of his machine, and it
works satisfactorily. He has not, how
ever, made any computation of the
power lost through friction, and is un-
able to say how his system compares
with the one now in general use in this
respect.

Oh tnC OPEOCANe
There has been good deal OF talk
about chainless bicycles, but somehow
or other they do not come into use.
Dozens, even scores, of plans have been
invented, but they usually embody de-
fects more seriously than those of the
sprocket system, and therefore the
manufacturers hesitate to touch them.
Among the more recent designs sent
to the New York Tribune is one invent
ed w. T. Kirkman, of Atwater, Cal. He
retains the present pedals and keeps
them where they are now. For the
sprocket whee! he substitutes three
lobed disk, which rotates in the same
plane and in response to the same
forces. A narrow, horizontal steel
frame incloses this disk. Two rollers
are set in the frame, so that one presses
against the front edge and the other
against the rear edge of the disk. The
rotation of the disk, therefore, imparts
slight toscillatory motion to the frame,

The Transfer of Tires.

When the back tire has punctured
pretty often, and it is the back tire that
freely INDUCES in these little tricks, it
is an excellent thing, on bicycles with
equal-sized wheels, to have the tires
changed from one wheel to the other.
This will frequently cause the back tire
to last twice as long without renewal,
since there is so much less strain and
wear on the front wheel. A little pre-
caution of this kind is quite well worth
taking, if one does not want to be let
in for continual expense. The tube
grows thin and weak with heavy use
and constant punctures, and it is quite
worth while to try and prolong its ex-
istence. N
