Accidents in France.

The recent death OF A. W. Harris,
the result of fractured skull received
in a race at london on Easter Monday
furnished a warming to racing men to
exercise care while contesting. Fol-
lowing the casualty the Paris letter to
the American Cyclist contains the fol-
lowing announcement: 1t is happily
very rare that the accidents taking
place on the cycle tracks have any seFi-i
Gus results. notwithstanding the great
vogue Of cycle rafing in, this country.
only one death has -taken-place on the
ltracks until last week, and that was,
in the ease of a pacemaker on a tan
dem who dashed into the barriers OF
track in SOUTH of France Another
young fellow was killed last week or
the Velodrome de Vincennes while
training in the presence OF. q consider
able number of other cyclists, most OF
them noviceso CASTOR Pelle had done
his spell of training exercise when he
ispfinted in the home straight, AT that
moment a soldier on a bicycle swervej
aside, and Pellel. touched his back
wheel He fell with such force az tc
fracture the skull. Pelle died a little
while afterward without, r, recovering
consciousness.

Now and then the irrepressibie freak
cycle inventor brings out new form
OF wheel that is expected to revolution
ize The sport. There seemsaosbe some
alluring attraction in the possible conf
biration Of hand and foot power. The
latest. auxiliary hand driver is the
product Of the brain of Denver in
ycptor, The handle bar is, formed in
two sections, which are iotcnaled on
the top of the steering stem. The hi
cycle has an extra sprocket and bearing
fastened to fhe head just above the
fork. A long chain connects the two
sprockets. The sections of the handle
bar move up and down. and a rod
transmits the motion to the sprocket.
The bicycle In full operation would
make an imitation flying machine that
would send almost any horse on a run
away career. Some years ago we'll
kLown Jersey bicycle man constructed
machine upon similar lines. His BIZ
cycle created quite a sensation at a
Freehold meet j "A novice who had
broken his wheel jumped on the freak
bicycle and won. the mile race jhandily
The inventor did not, however, make "a
fortune with the invention. ,,..

Some ofDthe restrictions placed upon

Increasing liberties accorded to Ameri-

most of the streets are closed TO wheels

can't even push their wheels with their
hands in the gardens of the imperial

ice to all sections of the country. Inc
one great result of bicycle indulgence
is to take city residents ont into the
less thickly populated districts, where
there are more picturesque, features OF
the scenery than cable cars, bicycle po-
.licemen and towering houses. In this
way, particularly, of course, in the.
pleasanter, seasons of the year the dis
tricts that before bicycling became ,s4chr
a prevalent pastime were almost de-
! Serted are patroled by cyclists. Though
the majority of the wheel riders fire.
4 quent the macadam routes, It is an eX-
/ ceedinglN poor road that is not made
somewhat livelier by some scattering
priyates of the vast army g.r
The effect naturally is to make the
remote rural districts safer for the res.
idents, for In case of accident or
trohble of some kind there is more than
apt to be a wheelman within hailing
distance. That this state of things is
not purely imaginary is shown by sew
eral happenings of late A little more
than two weeks ago "a party of wheel
men, while riding out one of the Union
county roads near Crawford, espied
loaded freight train on fire on the rail
road track near the road. There was
no one else near, and, as a strong wind
was blowing, the whole train of cars
was In danger of destruction. The
wheelmen left their bicycles by the
roadside, and after some very hard la
Dor succeeded in pushing the cars from
danger so that only two cars were
burned. l,t !''A'
At another time lately a fire in an
uptown avenue was discovered by a
passing cyclist, who turned in an
alarm. There have also been num-
Der of instances where assailants of
helpless men, women and children have
been driven away by the timely ap-
pearance of .bicyciers. The horrible ac-
cident that happened to the load of
young persons on the Merrick road on
Decoration day would, it is said, have
been avoided had the driver needed the
warning cries of some bicyclists' VINO
saw the danger that threatened the
party. There have been many other
instances where wheelmen have proved
their efficiency as protectors of life and
property, runaway horses having been
often stopped by skilled cycle riders.
Many of these occurred on much fire.
duehted roads but the real effect is to
make the ARMY of bieyelers an enor-,

ulated districts, always ready to do
