ROTH'S GREAT RIDE.
THE CHICAGO WAEELMAN RODE 34,-
 38o MILES IN 1886.

He Made a,000 Miles Ta One H1ontE., Also
 14o Centuries, of Whic., 8a Were Dou-
 bIe Centuries-IIe Followed the Good
 Weather.
 Tho years bicycle mileage record medal will no doubt be awarded to E. N Roth of the Clarendon Whoelmen of Chicago, who on New Years eye, in a driving rainstor1n, completed one of the greatest yeal 8 rides of history-a ride that will stand unohallenged for many years to come.
 Roth rode 34.3 .380 miles in $40 days, an average of over 101 miles each day for tho ontiro time. He travelod over 8 dozen states in making this ride and followed the good weather throughout the country.
 He started Jan 25 and finished Dec 81 at midnight In this time he rode 149 centuries all told, of which number 32 were double, or 900 miles, and one a triple century, 300 miles ill 92 hours.
 His greatest months mileage was 4,000 miles and over. He did not know today the exact distance.
 His claims to the Century Bead club call for tho following:
 The individual mileage medal of America
 The Illinois state mileago medal.
 The century record of several statos.
 The 900 mile record of l4 hours and 35 minutes
 Tho 300 mile record of g hours flat.
 The 24 hour record of 300 miles, with many others.
 The claims have 10 be gent on by ex, press, owing to their volume.
 Roth has ridden one wheel the entire season, with but one accident-a broken rim. He has ridden but two sets of tires, wearing one out on railroad tracks. He had one puncture just before he reached the 10, GOO mile mark, for which mark he was striving without punotur- ing.
 His wheel weighed 95 pounds, the tires weighing five pounds He uses neither tobacco nor liquors and gained ten pounds in the season.
 The nearest competitor to Roth is O'Connor of the Chicago Cycling club, who has IS, 325 miles to his credit. Tho old record for a year was made by Hansen, tho Rainmaker of Minneapolis, who made 21, 028 miles ill 1894
 Roth rode in Texas, Colorado and in Illinois and all tho neighboring states
 Thero can be not the slightest doubt of tho entire authenticity of the ride, owing to the applications being so very thorough.

The Germs of Consumption.

Dr. R. l.. Watkins of Now York claims to have discovered tho indus or nest wherein the germ of consumption is nourished. Instead of waiting for the destroying disease to develop he says physicians may now detect the soil fa- vorable to it's growth. By eliminating this condition the disease may be cured practically before it's inception. For years Dr. Watkins has been working with drops of blood taken from various persons to sec whether or not tho blood has story to tell long ill advance of the appearance of disease. He has been able to anticipate by one year the de- velopment of apoplexy, rheumatism, paralysis and cancer by the pathogno- monie condition of the blood.
