A FORAKER NEW HAvENER.

It will interest the many New Haven
friends of Mr., Fred ]. Radcliffe to know
that he is meeting with great success
in his new venture. The popular songs,
you're Not the Only Pebble on the
Beach," whisper Your Mothers
Name,' and 1.-THE Poor Little Girl
Didn't Know, You Know" are all his
own compositions, published under the
name of Braston & Carter. His latest
work, two-step, the Jolly Bachelor"
was played at the Hyperion by Mr..
Frank Fichtl and orchestra on Thurs
day evening last at the presentation of
my Friend from India" and it is the
hit of the season in that line.
Mr.. Radcliffe is In New York in the
photogravure line firm of Bedan & Red
cliffe, and is finely prospecting. His
mother and an unmarried sister, for
merly OF this city, are now residents of
Plainfield, N. j. His father, the late
John Radcliffe, was for years, as is well
remembered, leading New Haven ca
terer.

transported through the southern states,
and reaches Los Angeles in four days
and San Francisco in five days without
change of cars or attendants. The
route precludes the possibility of delays,
which are sometimes inevitable in the
northern states during the winter
months and every detail of arrange
ment for the safety and comfort of the
patrons of this line is looked after in
the most careful manner by competent
and courteous officials. Portland, Ia

source Of complaint, however, for the
constant ringing of the bells would be
entirely too unbearable q nuisance.
There is however, a very general senti-
ment demanding the regulation of
speed. The bioyclists scorch along this
pavement at race track speed often
times while stop watches are being held
by friends. Impromptu brushes" oc-
cur every minute in the busy scorching
hours, and pre-arranged races are held
AS many as half dozen daily.
'But this is not the greatest source of
complaint. Very few people hazard
crossing this thoroughfare between
Pearl and Gamer street, the section
asphalted, on account of the number of
bicycles, One many days there have
been as great number as GOO or 700
bicycles on this half mile of street In
spite Of this fact there was the usual
amount of scorching and rapid riding.
For pedestrian to attempt to cross the
street under such conditions is extreme
ly dangerous. Most of the residents
along this street and the side streets
are of the opinion that if a person
should be run into by these bicyclists
that there is no remedy, civilly or Grim
inally The bicyclists are almost unan-
imously of the opinion, too. To these
1t might be well to say that there is a
remedy, both civlly and criminally,
Each time a bicyclist, in scorching or
negligent riding, runs into a person, 1t
is an assault for which damages can
be recovered and the offence may be
punished as breach of the peace, the
punishment being In accordance with
the gravity of the offence.
Still this does not do away with the
| necessity of a bylaw restricting the
speed There is no comfort to a man
who Is not vindictive in the fact that
punishment will be melted out to the
scorching idiot who knocks him gally-
west into a gutter. An ounce of pre-
vention In such case Is worth a pound
of cure, and more so, when the amount
Of cure is fixed by the Judgment of
someone other than the aforesaid cap
sized person. Many people want the
privilege of crossing this place with less
danger at least. Let the court Of COM
mon council act"

to horsemen for a speedway has led
many of the residents on and near that
highway to inquire, What are our
rights in reference to these bicyclists
who ride on this street? Have we
any?' At present there is no statute or
ordinance which by any reasonable con-

League Retalns the Control.

President Potter. of the League of
American Wheelmen, has put himself
on record as unwilling to have the
league yield up its control of racing
unless some organization is at hand to
take up the work where the League
of American Wheelmen drops it, He
has not looked up the track owners
association and is unable TO give an
opinion of its ability to handle the
pure sport as it should be. He said re-
Gently TO a well-known cycling writer:
"The conditions of the year are not
too easy of solution, and | am certain
ly not in favor of the league turning
over the control of racing to any other
body unless | am convinced that the
new organization is capable of caring
for it as it should be. At present fail
TO see any immediate indication or pos
sibility of an organization being formed
which could control racing as well as
the league has done and is doing 1t pres
ent. As am unaequainted with any of
the track owners | am hardly in a po-
sition TO state whether their association
would be qualified TO take hold of the
racing game as il stands to-day"

which befall most wheelmen, sooner or
later, in their careers, and yet it is
neither abnormal nor alarming.
From the point of view of the pedes-
trian there is really little to complain
Of. Probably five fatal accidents and
twice as many serious mishaps to mem
bers of the general public are TO be laid
to the charge of the whole body of cy-
clists. They are regrettabe. yet they
do not bear the least proportion in the
world to the havoc wrought by light
and rapidly-moving horse-drawn We
hicles. And the cycle has every whit as
much right as the trap on the road and.
too, the machine which runs away with
its rider does infnitesimally less dam
age than the horse which bolts.
As regards accidents to cyclists
themselves, men are of course most
numerous sufferers. yet some six wom-
en- have lost their lives this year. rather
a large percentage of the whole death
roll. Sixty per cent. of the accidents
have been caused by riders losing con
troll of their machines while descend
ing steep hills. Unfortunately no rec
ord exists as to the presence or absence
of a brake on these occasions, but the
negative inference is probably correct
in most of the cases. Track riding pure
and simple only produced relatively
few bad spills. Collisions with other
vehicles accounted for 20 per cent of
no -ha1 oil Of noatlArte
OF skdding wheels are not specially
numerous. In one case a woman lost
her life through riding on the wrong
side of the road. Three out of every five
recorded cases of collisions with We
hicles brought death to Gpe cyclist.
Yet culpable negligence o. the part of
riders is almost a thing unknown.
There have been several cases of heat
exhaustion and fatal attacks of syn
cope, but fewer than might have been
expected from the varying age and con
dition of the people who ride. Ruts
threw several riders, and the wander
ing flock of sheep was not without its
victim. One noticeable fact is that
very few serious mishaps have been en-
tailed by defective or faulty machines.
On the whole, while it should be cas-
lily possible to secure happily smaller
death roll in the future. there need be
no alarm as to the consequences of this
form of locomotion, since it is probably
the least destructive of human life of
any known. This might take time to
substartiate, but it is true.-London

NOVEL ENGINE GOVERNOR.

ernors depends is combined with an
inertia element relatively so great that

are Immediately provided for without
waiting for the otherwise necessary
manifestations of centrifugal force
The entire governor consists of but a
single moving piece, suspended upon
one pivotal point, thereby reducing the
friction to a minimum, and with no
joints TO interfere with the best action
of the governor. The suspension pin
or pivotal point is made of hardened
crucible steel. The suspension pin eye
is lined with phosphor bronze, and the
little fabrication that is required is ac-
complished by forcing grease, by means
of a compression grease cup, into
number of recesses arranged around
the bore of the bushings.

THE LlGHTNING-6UG.
He Is an X-Ray Producer of the Most
Perfect Kind.

The lightning bug" is an X-ray pro-
Queer of the most perfect kind. This
fact has been established by Prof. II.
Muraoka, who occupies the chair of
physics of the University of Kyoto,
japan.
Prof. Muraoka was induced to per-
form his experiments with freflies, or
Fighting bugs as they are popular
~ known in this country, by the re-
markable number of these insects that
infest the night air of Kyoto during the
month of June. From the very first he
suspected that there was some connec-
ton between the light of the FREELY and
the X-ray, and it was with view to
proving this connection that he under
took the investigation.
The experiment was performed by
placing about thousand of the insects
in a small fiat box, in which they were
confined under a net made of hemp.
The box contained a Photographic dry
plate, in contact with which were plates
OF various metals, including copper, alu-
r:num, zinc and brass. All of the metal
Sheets of cardboard, both entire and
with crosses cut in them, were placed
alongside of many of these plates.
All of these various pieces ofapparatus
were wrapped in several thicknesses of
black paper, and left in the box with the
flies for two nights in a dark room.
The plates were then removed, and the
insects that had survived the involun
tary ordeal in the cause of science were
Oallowed to go free. On examination it
was found that every one of the photo
graphic plates had undergone the usual
chemical change when such plates are
exposed to the light. They were all
darkened to a greater or less degree
And this was true not only of those
that had been subjected to the rays Of
light emitted by the firefies directly
but also in the caNe of those which had
been protected by plates of cardboard
and metal.
From the result of the experiment
Prof. MuAoka deduced the following
facts: 1. The light emitted by the fire.
fly, before it passes through any sub
stances, such as metal, cardboard or
wood, is like an ordinary light, and
is plainly visible. 2. After it passes
through one ormore of these substances,
it is no longer visible to the naked eye
but is capable Of affecting the chemical
coating of Photographic dry plates, in
this respect acting exactly like the X
ray discovered by Prof. Roentgen. 3.
The light admits of reflection and re-
fraction.-N.Y. Journal.
