WHEELING IN RUSSIA
Cyclists are Restricted in the Dominions
of the Car.

Wheeling as pastime in Russia has
not been conducted with the same de-
gree of liberality and common sense
that has marked its course in this and
other countries. For instance, wo-
men were not allowed to ride in the
streets of St. Petersburg up to Febru-
ary of the present year. Permits are
issued to all persons who desire to
ride under conditions which every
American will smile at, namely:
The applicant must first pass an ex-
animation on the wheel before one of
the cycling associations of st. Peters
burg. When the applicant has re-
ceired certificate he files it together
with an application to the city officials.
Although the permit is given gratis,
the cost of revenue stamps and of the
little book containing rules and regu-
lations regarding bicycle riding in the
city amounts to s113, which must be
paid by the applicant before the per-
nit is obtained. Such permit is good
for one year, which begins always
with May 1st. Upon payment of the
required amount registered number
of the bicycle is issued with the per-
NIT. These numbers are in plain
white figures on red plate, and must
be fastened to the wheel on both the
front and back, so as to be clearly WIS.,
ible to the police and the public in
case any mishap should occur, or in
case the regulations prescribed for BIZ
cycle riders are disregarded. One
plate with the number on both sides
is fastened to the frame in front, be-
low the handle-bars, sticking out so
the number can be seen from either
side; and the other plate is fastened
to the rear of the frame, below the
saddle, il such way as to be in full
view when the person is sitting on the
saddle.
When several wheelmen are riding
together, they must ride one after the
other at distance of not less than
fourteen feet between each bicycle.
By q special order of the City Gov
ernor, the person who receives per-
NIT to ride a bicycle must give photo
of himself, which is attached to the
permit.

rather than let it go to stranger. In
the course of time Mr.. De Boa died.
Miss Hart has declined to accept the

Daniel Lennon, of Columbus, Ohio.
For the past two months he has been
carefully raising a chicken which is q

four regularly formed and perfectly

the proper place-that is, where all
chickens with perfect anatomies have
them. The other two legs are just
back of these. For about month
after it was Matched Mr.. Lemmon's
queer fowl had complete control of all
four of its legs and moved about like q
quadruped. Gradually, however, the
two hind legs began to stop growing
and for some time have not grown at
all. They now hang useless from the
body. This freak is also the pos

Tho Value OF Electrical Plants.

Few persons realize the enormous
amount of money which is invested in
electrical plants of various sorts. Over
100, 600, 900 of dollars are invested in
electrical machinery used in mining
Electric elevators employ about fifteen
millions more. Electric railways rep
resent about one billion dollars. This
does not include the money now being
used in the manufacture of electrical
machinery.
