The bicycle form is preferable to the

the difficult process of balance, but it
is far less serviceable for general use.
On the asphalt street, of course, every

thing, for the new tricycles have the

AMERICAN MACHINERY.

English Tribute to Bicycle Tools
Made in This Country.
The great English technical journal,
Engineering, London, pays handsome
tribute to machine tools made in the
United States, saying: ut is not re-
assuring thing for those who would see
the engineering supremacy of this
country maintained, to notice how GER
tain American firms have ranged ahead
of us in the production of light class
of machine tools, of which bicycle max
ing machines afford an example. AT
the present time, with the demand for
bicycles still great, and new factories
being started constantly, manufacture
ers have the greatest difficulty in OBJ
tanning the special plant. 1t is easy
enough to purchase ordinary lathes,
milling machinery, power mills, etc,
but with these the bicycle maker cannot
hope to produce his wares at anything
like the same speed or at so low a cost
as can those who are fortunate in pos
sessing special labor saving and eX-
tremely accurate tools. No doubt good
many ingenious cycle making tools
have been constructed in this coun-
try, but these have been largely de.
signed by the cycle makers themselves
when they happen to have been me-
chanics also-and have not been put
upon the market. Under these circum
stances the American makers have
stepped in, and are at the present time
reaping rich harvest in selling, pretty
we'll at their own price, special cycle
making machinery Of a nature which
cannot be purchased from British man

nicely so that it was really as smooth
and neat grave as any one would
wish to look at, or want for himself
or friend. He then called on Milton
Reynolds, editor and publisher of the
Mariposa Gazette, and had him insert
an advertisement to the effect that
John Tice had a nice grave dug, in
nice place in the cemetery, which he
would put up at a rattle at John Fran
els saloon on the following Saturday
night, in one hundred shares, at one
dollar share. that the shares were
going off lively and people who wanted
share had better hurry up, or they
would miss the best chance of their
lives.
But owing to the perversity and
stinginesS of human anture, TiCe said,
nobody wanted a grave just then, and
the Saturday night passed without
single chance being taken, and no raf-
fle came off. Poor Tice was terribly
down about it, and became greatly en-
ragged; he went out on the street and
cussed the people and the place swear
ing that place was the meanest he had
ever seen, and the people the most
stingy and the most foolish he ever had
seen, saying they would all want
grave sooner or later, and perhaps,
some of them quite soon, and here was
nice grave, a good all ready for them
but because ii they did not need it just
then, they were too stingy and mean
to take a chance for it, which would
only cost them a dollar then, buff they
waited until they actually needed it,
it would cost them a hundred dollars,
and here am dying for want of a
drink of whisky which would cost only
a bit, which 1 can't get,and the people
won't take a chance in my rattle so 1
can get it.
Cuss them they may go unburied, or
dig their graves for themselves, for l
won't dig one for them when they do
want one.

Speedy Railway Bicycle.

There is now on the market, placed
there by Michigan firm, a railroad
bicycle constructed throughout like an
ordinary machine, but capable of great
ly increased speed. The wheels are, of
course, Hanged and fitted with soft
cushion tires, one-third of an inch thick
and five wide. which causes the wheels
to run noiselessly over the rails. One
advantage is that the rider can hear
approaching trains from either side.
There is no jar, and owing to the
smooth track surface very high gears
can be used. A good rider can average
a speed of thirty-fve miles an hour on
long run on this machine with ease. A
hub brake with which the wheel is
equipped makes such a high rate of

BICYCLE MUDGUARO.
A Simple Yet PcrpIexing Problem
Solved at Last.

SOlNeu ht bast.
A proof of how easily inventors may
wander away from the straight path is
seen in the evolution of the bicycle
mudguard. Manufacturers have for
wears been endeavoring to find way OF
disposing of the mud after it was
thrown from the wheel. The idea OF
taking the mud off the wheel seems
never to have struck them. This is what
an inventor has now done. and the prob
lem on which so much gray matter has
been expended is solved, with sim
plicity especially Notifying to those
whom it has so long baffied. The new
guard consists of a sheet metal plate.
CARRYING a thin rubber strip. which
brushes the mud off the tire, and pre-
vents it from flying on the clothing of
the rider. The guard is held in posi-
ton by V-shaped carriers of wire.
which straddle the wheels being Sc
cured to the forks of the bicycle. The
guard plate has a spring tension fitted
upon the carrier, and the brush can be
thrown on or off the tire by touching
the plate with the foot. The brush,
which is renewable, is about one-six-
tenth of an inch thick, and when in
use it bears upon the tire so lightly
that the friction is inappreciable. 1t
keeps the mud from both the rider and
the wheel.

THE NEW CORK TIRE.

as will be seen by the sectional view,
an endless coil spring is inserted in the
continuous passage formed by the three
sections placed together. The tire may
thus be readily placed in position on the
rim, the spring holding the sections to-
gether, or the sections may be readily
drawn apart sufficiently to allow of the
removal of the tire, as may be desired.

Steel That Cut. GIn...

If it be true that the experiments
1rade by Mr.. Maxim in his laboratory
at Wayne, Me-, have resulted as is
claimed, a new steel for armor-plating
can be made to resist any projectile now
known, even when thrown by the high
est explosives, and when the plating is
thinner than that now employed. Mr..
Maxim believes the steel made by his
new process identical with that of an
cient India. 1t has been stated that
the brothers Maxim are fitting up n
mandatory in London for the COM
m.ercial production of this metal, from
which chisels and drills have already
been made which the most celebrated
steel manufacturers of London have
pronounced 1.-THE most wonderful prod
uct of modern times. They have been
found to stand wonderful tests. A small
knife blade, made from the Maxim steel,

when the wheel Groans.

When your bicycle makes a noise it
is a sure sign that something is wrong.
The perfect running machine is noise
less. Loose tools will rattle, and should
be so wrapped that they will not be
heard from; a jingling sound usually
means that spokes have broken loose
from their fastenings at crossing
points; a distinct click indicates
spokes loosened at the rim; what might
be termed jogging noise is usually
caused by loose crank; loud swapping
almost invariably comes from a dry
chain, and loose sprocket will thump.
No matter what The noise is orfrom
what part Of the machine it emanates
it indicates troublel that should be
promptly attended to.
