Remarkable New Bicycle Gear.

Gerald Barker, of London, England,
inventor, is the latest genius to an
nouncc a" revolution in bicycles" He
has patented compound crank cycle
which he demonstrates will carry 4
man at Il marvellous speed OF Il mile a
minute without any extraordinary ex-
crtion on the part Of the rider. 1t is
said to be 80 constructed rs to utilize
the entire power furnished by the
riders legs, something that has never
been possible with ordinary wheels.
This is, OF course, accomplished by the
gearing, but it is not Il chainless wheel,
the sort which, it is said, will next
year be the king OF all wheels. A
twenty-eight inch driving wheel is
geared to one hundred inches by the
ordinary pattern chain running over n
twenty-five toothcd sprockct-whccl and
q seven-toothed hub. The sun and
planet wheels merely control the
relative position of the main and
secondary cranks. The mechanism
consists of II sun wheel attached to
each side OF the crank bracket and a
couple of hollow cranks. The COM
pound cranks add somewhat to the
weight of a bicycle, but the inventor
claims that the power gained more
than compensates for the added
weight. 1t is said that the new wheel
can be put on the market to retail at
$50.

pany and the North American Trad
ing and Transportation Company have
large two-story stores and warehouses,
upon which the company expended
in the neighborhood of 100000 each.
Besides the two stores above men.

A. G. Lager, arrived in North Yak
ina last week from Stewart River
Northwest Territory, having come out
overland via the old Hudson Bay trail,
which he says is first-class one from
Lake Bennett to the international
boundary line. Mr.. Lager and his
partner are probably the first to reach
this State from the gold diggings of
the far north by the all-land route.
He says they had twenty horses, aver
aged little more than thirty miles a
day, and made the trip in twenty
seven days. Mr.. Lager went into the
country by the way OF Skaguay, but
says he would not be induced to
travel that route again.

Where Street Cars are Free.

In talking of Henry Georges plat.
form of free street cars, a gentleman
from Australia states that the plan
has worked we'll at Sydney, New
South Wales, where the city owns the
lines and runs them without charging
fares. He says that the people do not
use them any more than they did be-
fore they were free, and that the ex.
pense of maintenance is cheerfully
borne by the taxpayers.
The only places in the United
States where the public enjoys free
transportation, as far as can be as
certained, are Oakland, Cal, and
Havre de Grace, Md. When the Cen.
trail Pacific railway was seeking right
of way into Oakland it was granted
by the common council upon the con.
dition that suburban trains should
carry all citizens free within the city
limits. The bridge across the Susque.
hanna at Havre de Grace belonged to
the county, and when the Philadelphia
Wilmington & Baltimore railway was
seeking the privilege of crossing it
many years ago, the entire property
was turned over to the corporation
upon the agreement that it should be
maintained perpetually as q free
bridge and that no fares should be
charged for crossing either for foot
pedestrians or passengers upon the
trains.

Largest Dynamo In the World

A new dynamo, which is being COM
pleted at Schenectady for Brooklyn,
measures sixty feet from base to crown,
and is the largest in the world. 1t will
produce electricity at a higher pressure
or voltage than any other genator now
in existence. Its capacity may be
judged from the fact that its output of
current would be sufficient to keep 49,
600 incandescent lamps burning at
once. The pressure of the electricity
as it leaves the dynamo will be $500
volts, or three times that of the great
generators at Niagara Falls. The
Illuminating Company of Brooklyn
has adopted the plan of building a
large central station at tidewater, and
distributing the current from it at
high pressure to sub-stations through
out their territory, containing about
seventy-five square miles, which in
cludes Coney Island and other out
lying parts of Kings county lately an
nexed. They think this plan has the
advantage of requiring smaller num-

production of current can be obtained

To Make Cloth Waterproof.

Cloth can be made waterproof by
the following process: Take of pow.
dered alum and sugar of lead each an
ounce; stir them into gallon OF
rain water, and when this mixture is
clear, pour off and use the upper liquid.
Scotch tweed or any closely woven
cloth may be waterproofed by being
immersed in this for twenty-four hours,
then dried and pressed. Although
this process renders the material water
proof, it will not prevent the heat OF
the body from being thrown off.
Neither will it injure the texture of the
cloth. Many English women are
adopting this method of rendering
their bicycle suits imprevious to rain.
NEGLECT of the hair often destroys

lect light green. Both in the Episcopal and
Presbyterian churches amt ever afeerd
about gtvin' plenty of feathers and fiow-
erS.
When come to the Methodlsts, I says
to myself: Priscilla, remember that you
are exhorted to be simple in your APP
parel.' SO 1 use nuthin' but ribbon bows
for trimmin'. though once in awhile in
digniied way put in a black feather. 1
arranged It, though in what might be call
ed grave fashion, since 1t always stands
jest like the feathers on Uncle Jimmie
Browns hearse. Sometimes it's difficult
to suit everybody, but realize that If all
the world agreed with me sectarianlike
could only trim bunnets with ribbon, and
there would be but little profit in the
trade. Then l comprehend how wise 1t Is
that some are predestined TO suffer for
ever and forever hereafter; that they are
weak and sinful while here and go to
gay meetin' houses which permits of the
wearin' of feathers and flowers"
Who but Miss Priscilla could have
brought doctrines and bonnets together
and from them made her living and lived
up to her belief? You and 1 may go 20 a
smart milliner TO get our chapeauX; but
although the glories of Paris are shown
to us, there is not half as much fun in
making a purchase from a dignifed
Frenchman or a snobbish English woman
as there is when some home concoctio
is bought from THE Seven Sisters"

The summer days are mono too
long for Indian children at their
play They mimic the occupations
of their elders. Miniature tents are
set up, and the mothers shawl is
sometimes purloined from her pack
to serve as tent covering. If the
boys are inclined to gallantry, they
will cut tall sunfower stalks for
poles, and there will be fine sport
with tent large enough to creep
into; no matter if feet and legs pro-
trude, heads are under cover and
children are children all the world
over in the delight of make be-
lieve." Boys and girls sometimes
join in playing going on the hunt; )"
the play tents are taken down and
poles and bundles tied upon the boy
ponies, who are obedient or frac-
tious, as the case may be, obstinate
when fording streams and stamped
ing when attacked by enemies. Some
boys carry their pony regulations
through life. Women have laugh

erly men who were in childhood

Personality of the King of Greece.

the subject of paper by Benjamin
Ide Wheeler in The Century. Pro-

king is a sociable, companionable
man, fond of a joke, particularly
susceptible to the flavor of Ameri-
can humor, and not at all stringent
in the minuti@ of official etiquette
He sometimes gives one the impress.
sion that he will be glad when the
formal part of the ceremony is over.
He is often seen walking in the
parks or on the sidewalks of his cap
ital, and in the seclusion of his gar
den rejoices in the use of an Ameri-
can bicycle, which no Interpretation
of royal license would permit him
to ride upon the highways. He is,
however, rigid disciplinarian, apd
his children have been brought up
to feel the full force of the author
ity of the Teutonic house father.
The crown prince, now % years old
and father of family, still looks to
him, as do all his other children,
for permission and advice in regard
to all their goings and comings.
