WOOD IN BICYCLES.
The Wheel Creates a Good Demand In
the Lumbar Trade


the Lumber Trade.
The continuing and growing demand
for cycles has it's effect upon The EUyG-
wood lumber trade. II is estimated
that there will be produced in Ameri-
can factories this year nearly 100000
bicycles. Practically all of these are
equipped with wood rims. Each wood
rim requires 2i2 feet board measure.
and allowing one-third for waste, that
would mean a consumption OF G.O00,QO0
feet, almost exclusively rock elm. This
is for the rims alone, to say nothing
OF the guards and handle bars. but
OF the latter there is another story,
says the Lumberman.
The consumption OF 6oOO. 900 feet or
thereabouts of rock elm does not look
very large in business which is ac-
customed TO deal with hundreds OF mil
lions, but when IL is remembered that
only about IL per cent OF hard maple
is available for rim purposes, and mat
therefore 10000, 600 feet OF one Of the
minor hard woods must be handled
over in order TO obtain this material,
the Importance OF the bicycle demand
in this special way will be recognized.
We spoke above OF wooden handle
bars. That IL to be the next thing in
bicycles, according to authorities on
the subject. Wood, principally hick-
DRY, perhaps little ash, is to be used
instead Of steel tubing. not because OF
any decrease In weight, but because OF
the superior elasticity Of the wood.
making the wheels easier to ride and
less fatiguing to the hands and arms.
Furthermore II will be an advantage
to the manufacturers, as bent tubinN
is difficult article to manufacture,
whereas hickory can be bent into any
desired shape; and then again, the new
bars will be cheaper. There is no
prospect Of any less number OF BIZ
cycles being manufactured in the near
future than In the present or the past,
and perhaps 100000 bicycles next
year may be placed new upon the mar
ket.
A considerable portion OF them. II
Is said, perhaps the majority. will have
hickory bars made Of second growth
hickory. That is another thing for the
hardwood men TO take note OF. But
the consumption of lumber. due to tho
bicycle trade. does not stop with this.
There is Grating. What that amounts
to no one seems TO know, but about
every bicycle, sooner or later, Is In
vested with crate Of its own. and
this requirement must mean con-
siderable increase in consumption Of
coarse lumber, so, though the bicycle
Is largely a thing of tubing. wire and
forging, It has some influence on this
lumber trade.

Scraps of soap may be placed in a
double boiler, allowed to become soft,
and then nodded into any desired
shape. If it does not melt readily
pour little water on it while heating.
In laundering babies clothes use
only the best Of soap, and beware of
too much washing power or soda.
Many cases of eczema in infants, ac-
cording to physicians, may be at

far better than the strong black soap
made of wood ash lye, and more
economical than hard soap.
A practical housewife recommends
keeping attic windows closed instead
of open. A garnet freely aired will at.

In dishwashing special care must be
given ivory handled knives, the handles
being never allowed TO go in the dish

should be held in the dry left hand,
while the right washes the blades.
Spots can be removed from ivory
handles and the polished surface re-

terday completed the consideration Of
the senate amendmenN to the Indian
appropriation bill and sent the bill to
conference. The main contention CEN
tered about the senate proposition to

fication Of the oil and gas leases made
by the council of the Seneca Indians

ton was not privileged. A resolution
was adopted by which a committee of
twenty-five was appointed to attend the

Question Of Precedence.

Question Of Precedence.
New York. April 24.-Mayor Strong
gave out the following communication
yesterday from Secretary Sherman:
My Dear Sir: There has been a good
deal Of foolish matter printed in the pa
pers here about the question Of etiquette
as to whether the president and his cab
met should precede the ambassadors Of
foreign countries and other members of
the diplomatic corps in the procession
to the tomb Of General Grant.
Il an assured by Sir Julian Paunce-
fote and the French ambassador that
the alleged struggle for precedence be-
tween the members Of the cabinet and
the diplomatic corps Is pure fiction. The
ambassadors have made no request or
claim in regard to the matter of pre-
cedence, and I am advised by one of
them that they will take what
ever position Is assigned them on the
stand"
Mayor Strong said that neither he nor
the Grant committees had received any
intimation from Sir Julian Pauncefote
in regard to precedence at the cere-
monies.

Havana, April 24-AIichael ]. Kelly,
the Philadelphian who left Havana a
fortnight ago for. the insurgent camp
and was strung up on a charge OF be-
ing spy. but finally managed to es-
cape, was interviewed on his arrival
here yesterday. He confirmed the ad-
venture. but was reticent when Ques-
toned as to his reasons for going to the
insurgent camp. He denies, however,
that he had any understanding or con-
tract with the Cuban junta in New
York. He says that he went out from
Havana alone and Joined the insurgent
forces as an electrician. After a few
days he was sent with a sergeant and
twelve men on an alleged n11ssion to
meet Sylvester Scovel. who. the insur-
gents said, had just landed. After the
party had gone a few leagues from the
camp the sergeant halted his men near
an old well. accused Kelly. so he says.
of being a spy, stripped him absolutely
naked. shot him, and believing that he
was dead, put a rope around his neck
and hung him over an old well.
Out of the Water into the Fire.
The rope broke and he fell forty feet.
The water was up to his arm pits. They
then rode away. and about midnight
he escaped from the well and walked
several miles to a Spanish outpost.
where he presented himself entirely
naked with a view of surrendering un-
der the amnesty decree. When the COM
mandant called out to the guard to re-
ceive him Kelly was frightened. He ran
and was fired at. The Spanish started
in pursuit and he was finally caught
and taken into the camp. The command
ant. on hearing his story. treated him,
Kelly says. with all consideration, gave
him food and clothing, furnished him
with a bed and kept him comforta bly,
until the order for his release arrived.
Experience Turns His Hair White.
Kelly's head was grazed in several
places by bullets, his face and eyes are
burned with powder and his hair, for
,nerly an auburn. is now almost white.
He intends to return to the United
States next week. He says the Spanish
officers treated him much better than
he could have expected under all the
circumstances.
