simp1ifes the Praying of Buddhists.

Hunting around for states and conditions
of the bicycle in all ages, an Irish investi-
gator remarks that the spheres in which the
bicycle has played the part of an important
factor are manifold and strange, but we
guess rock bottom has been about touched
in its adaptation by the devout Buddhist as
a praying machine. The Buddhist, it is true,
has always done his praying by means of a
drop his prayers into a wheel, which revoIvei
in the direction Of the sum- and, according
to the belief, delivered up to heaven the
prayers of the owner, or of all whose thoughts
were fixed upon it. Usually the wheel has
been turned by hand, by wind or a running
stream but the adaptive Jap. it is said, now
fixes the prayer box to the hub of his machine
worship with recreation. BY fitting a cyclom-
eter to his bicycle he is also able to tell
at the end of the year how much prayer
stands to his credit. Thus is the western
wheel essential to ultra Buddhism.

Bearings on Chains Must BE oiled.

Ever since chains were adopted as a
means Of transmitting power on bicycles the
care of them has been a subject of worry.
The chain is one Of the most important parts
on wheel, and the occasions for sorrow
over one in bad condition many; but the
ways and means of keeping it in good order
are not as widely known the general need
warrants. The market being full of lubri-
cants, it is natural that the majority of riders
should learn that such thing is necessary.
Therefore, a solid, or semi-iquid lubricant,
is distributed over the surface of the chain
blocks. This makes the chain run noiselessly
on the sprockets, and the rider thinks the
chain is fabricated.
There are about one hundred bearings in
the ordinary chain, each revolving only a
certain distance around its axis making it
a bearing that bears very fast. Unless these
bearings are kept clean and we'll oiled they
cannot do their work in a satisfactory man
ner, and the chain will be short lived. Rub
bling chain lubricant on the surface Of the
blocks prevents a little wear, due to the
sprocket teeth, but it does not do the bear
ings Of the chain a particle of good. The
chain must be fabricated in the bearings,
not around them.

In Kentucky.

To the Republicans Of Kentucky there
goes the gratitude and admiration of every
genuine believer In the preservation Of the
national standard of money, and of every op-
ponent Of the fraud and dishonor and dis
order planted in the Chicago platform. The
Kentucky Republicans have refused to
strike the colors of the party in which op-
position to Organism is centred, and to in
dorse the ticket nominated by the National
Democratic. They lave refused to give way
to the specious opportunities of a lot Of
minor factionists calling themselves gold
men while refusing to support the great
gold party, and calling themselves Demo-
Gratis, although in rebellion against the
Democratic party.
Tho name of the honest money party
which has been stamped upon Kentucky is
not to be blotted out merely to strengthen
sentimentally a small group Of politicians
tottering between the income tax and the
third term of CLEVELAND on one hand and
full fledged Organism on the other.
Either the Republicans will carry Ken
lucky again and make the ultimate sup
preston of Organism more sure and more
rapid, or Kentucky will be carried for free
silver, and give to the narrow-minded and
insubordinate the necessary lesson that
when two masters are competing for the
mastery in a radical issue a man must serve
one or be out of the fight.

Wheels of 1898.

Views on bicycles of mex years model
are numerous. In 1897 the price at
tracted more attention than the wheel, but
ordinate. Cyclists look upon the 800
bicycle as gone. The standard price
will be somewhere, we suppose, be-
tween $75 and $50. Chainless wheels
will surely be prominent next spring,
promising to put the greasy chain wheels
completely out of mind. Tubing next
year will be about the same as it is now.
Gears Of high, low, and medium size will
be on the market for choice, but during
this season the liking for high gears has
developed greatly, probably as the result of
the greater strength which practice has
brought to the average leg.
The radical genius, who is being heard
from, asserts that the 1905 bicycle will be
operated by either the arms or legs. This
sounds more cranky than interesting.
The wheels most vulnerable point, its
tire, is being studied and experimental
with, with ardent desire for it's improvement
and with no little hope. 1t must be posi-
BILE to put into the rubber some element
that would lessen its slipping on wet pave
ments; and it seems absurd that wheels
destined to pass over jagged roads should
be left 80 puncturable. A less puncturable
tire and a tire which when inflated will re-
main full indefinitely, is greatly needed.
In spite of the promise of 1898, however,
owners of good bicycles needn't worry. A
good bicycle to-day will be good next year.

A Plague of Bagpipers.

During the early summer months there
was a plague ofwoodticks On Staten Island,
especially on the south shore. Dogs were
the chief sufferers, and many of them were
greatly reduced in weight and energy by
the appetites Of those strange visitors.
But woodticks, unlike mosquitoes, don't
travel about in the night time playing
Scotch bagpipes and disturbing peaceably
disposed citizens who want to go to sleep.
Never before in the history of A~quahonga
was there such a plague of mosquitoes as
the one that is raging there at present.
Big black mosquitoes, medium-sized
brown mosquitoes, and, worst of all.
little white-winged mosquitoes appear in
swarms. The bites of the latter are vene-
nous and cause the ~fiercest kline of itching.
Against these invaders nets are of little or
no avail. The white wings never get
weary, and do most of the biting, while the
other fellows fill their pipes and play,

IMMIGRATION DECREASING.

II Reached Its Lowest Point in the Last Fiscal
Year. when Arrivals Numbered ESQ. $50.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE following state
ment, prepared at tho Treasury Department,
was given to THE Sun to-day:
THE tide of immigration is at tho lowest
point since the general Government assumed
jurisdiction of the subject, in 1882. The number
of arrivals from all countries, according to
Treasury statistics. during the last fiscal year
was $50. s32. a decrease as compared with the
previous year of 112,435. The highest immi-
grafton of any previous year was in 1895. when
the number from all countries was 279. 94s. The
year Of heaviest immigration was the first of
the period beginning with 1882, when arrivals

United States. A better condition appertaining
to the Russian jew seems to be shown in a
heavy decrease OF immigration, tho arrivals
from that country 7 FOR the past year hay,
for, the fiscal year ended June 80. 1896.
Italy furnished the greatest number, 81, ADJ, a
decrease of S,629 from last year. The cause of
the heavy Italian immigration of 1895 was as
signed to the war of Italy with Abyssinia, but
the figures for the last year are not abnormal,
having been exceeded by several years of the
period. Since 1882 there has been q large and
steady decrease in German immigration. In
that country. while in 1896 only %. 533 arrived.
1t will be seen that the number of German inn.
migrants during the first year OF Government
supervision exceeded tho immigration from all
countries during the last year. Immigration
from Austria. Hungary decreased from SIS, lO3 in
1895 to 30. OBI in 1897. The decrease from other
countries is as follows: England. 1892 in 1895
