Two and Half Miles Ahead of the
Mnrls Mnde by Teddy Hnle.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The riders in
the six-day go-as-you u-please bicycle race this
morning showed no more appearance Of
fatigue than on the first day. Schoch was
about two and one-half miles ahead of the
record made by Teddy Hale at Madison
Square garden. He had been off his wheel
one hour and six minutes Lawson fell be-
hind as he did not do much sprntlng took
longer periods of rest and was delayed thirty
minutes by an accident, when Golden :ell
and Lawson went over him. piverre also
WIS unfortunate, having two heavy falls dur
ing the night. Muller covered only fifteen
miles during the night ard was not riding
during the forenoon, but said he would con-
tinue in the race.
Ali previous forty-eight-hour records were
eclpsed at midnight by Schoch, the veteran.
At that time he had made 776 miles, which is
six miles ahead Of Teddy Hale's Madison
Square worlds record. He has been off the
track but one hour and eighteen minutes
since the race commenced and has not slept
one minute of that time. His wonderful
powers OF endurance are standing him in
good stead and his admirers are confidently
expecting him to reach 1000 miles in the six
days. Lawson, the Swede, though nearly
100 miles behind the leader, is regarded as
his most dangerous competitor. He has had
two serious accidents and seems somewhat
discouraged, but he is expected to show up
well later In the race. He made record OF
265 miles OF continuous riding in the saddle
Albert, who row holds third place has ex-
perienced several sick spells and last night

ARTIFICIAL OYSTERS

They Are Sold n Large Quam astles In
European C1tles.
A gentleman who has just returned
from Paris ssys that the most wonder
full thing he saw while in that city was
artificial oysters. Not mock oysters-
meat done up 10 patty-but . bivalvs
to be scrved raw. In looks they appear
t. be genuine American oysters, but
where one is eaten the difference 10 nj
once perceptible. The usual. price ra,d
for them 10 three cents each, or 30ceuts
per dozen. At cheap restaurants they
may BE procured for two eesti each,
but are apt not to be fresh at that
price. When brought on the half shell
they look a. nice a. any oyster, and one
who 10 not judge Of oysters would eat
them without question. The only gen
u:ne thing about them 10 the shells.
The manufacturers buy secondhand
shells at . email cost and fasten the
spurious oysters 10 place with paste.
Only half shell 10 used. In that shape
they are packed in tiers and displayed
In windows. Others 10 be served with
out shells are put up in jars Of Is to
100. The limitations are consumed in
such quantities that dealers urge keep.
crs of hotels and restaurants 70 destroy
their shells and even pay cooks and
walters literally to pound them in
pieces.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

1t II estimated that not more than
1000 sea offers are left in the oceans,
and that these will soon be killed Oh.
There Is q plan to start . sea otter
farm on Nunivak islands. not far from
the seal farm to be established BIZ Capt,
John Schoonover. Of San Francisco.
He has secured several thousand acres
on this island. OF the Alaskan coast.
He intends to stock his farm with seals
caught at the rookerics. and will em-
ploy native AIeuts to herd them after
they are transferred 10 the breeding
ground. The place selected for the ex-
pertinent 10 similar to that used BY DR..
d. S. Jordan for corralling young pups
On st. Paul island. A large salt lagoon
il surrounded on three sides BY the
rocky coast. The arm reaching into
sen is deep and narrow. II will be peces-
aary to construct . wire fence so or 60
feet under water. A fence must also
be built around the lagoon on land. a.
seals travel ~ readily Oh land as in
water. They eat any fish they can cap
ture. The farm will be stocked with
many kinds Of sea Hsh. but when the
seals increaxe in size and numbers the
men will be kept busy gathering food
with nets and seines. A full-growu
seal requires more than 4 score Of fish
per day. Capt. Schoonover believes his
experiment will prove more profitable
than q gold mine.

In connection with the proposal e

tons for reporting the phenomena oi
thunderstorms II Il stated that while
lightning may be seen and its illumina'
ton Of clouds and mist may be recog-
nized when Il 10 even 200 miles distant,
thunder 10 rarely audible ten miles.
The thunder from very distant storms,
therefore. seldom reaches the ear.
Hence. II every thunderstorm has to be
recorded 4 large number Of stations
will be needed; probably one for every
Is square miles would not be too many.
A few stations would suffice. ut least
for the night time. for the reporting Of
the direction and movement Of every
case Of distant lightning.
The reason Of the great uncertainty
in the audibility Of thunder IL not hard
to understand. II depends not merely
on the initial iutenaity Of the crash. but
quite n much on the surroundings OF
the observer. even a. in the quiet coun-
try one will observe feeble sounds that
escape the ear in . noisy city. Perhaps
the most curious and important condi-
ton Of audibility 10 that the thunder
wave OF sound shall not be refracted or
reflected by the layers Of warm or cold
air between the observer and the light
ming or by the layers Of wind. swift
above and slow below. 30 rs to entirely
pass over or around the observer.
Sound b = wsvclike progress OBJ

and this refracticr may occnr II any
time and place. Thus observers nj the
topmast Of ship frequently hear fog
whistles that are inaudible nj sea level;
those on hilltops hear thunder that
cannot be heard In the valley; those IN
front Of an obstacle hear sounds In
audible to those behind il.
The rolling Of thunder, like that OF .
distant cannonade. may be largely due
to special reflections aud refractions Of
sound. Again. the greater velocity OF
the air at considerable attitudes above
the ground distor;s the sound wave and
shortens the limit of audlbiIity to the
leeward while increasing It to the wind
