NEW THINGS i'm THE
WAY OF WHEELS.
Changes i'm the Bicycle
Patterns for 1897.

From the Sun.
Taking a general view Of the char
acteristics of the '97 wheels of the
leading makers one finds that all maxi
ers agree in an effort to maintain the
standard prices of last year, while
Humber hs announced an advance of
IS, and that there is a tendency toward
the use of larger tubing for the frames,
and of flush joints. The Columbia, the
Victor, and the Crescent makers all
announce that they will use larger
tubing than that in last years model.
The Victor and the Spalding will also
make changes in the form of some of
their frames. In the case of the Vic
tor, there was complaint, the makers
say, that the top of the frame was too
short. In the standard 24-inch frame
this has been changed by making the
top bar one inch longer than it was in
'96. This change gives a different
shape to the steering head, but is not
permitted to alter the hang of the
front wheel, which was believed to
make the Victor an unusually easy
machine to steer In the new model
the forks of the wheel are bent to
new curve, which still leaves the steer
where the front wheel strikes the
ground. In the Spalding the change
in form is to make the top bar of the
diamond run parallel with the ground
instead of dipping toward the rear,
and in making the heights of the frame
for mems wheels %, "a, and &c inch in
stead of 20, 23, and 26 inch. The ten
dency toward putting on higher gear
is shown in the Humber, the Crescent,
and the Spalding. The normal gear on
the first two named will be so inches
and rs inches on the Spaldng, with
an option of other gears. Every one
knows that the higher gear is more ef-
fective upon good level roads, but it
was naturally supposed that a low gear
would be best for worse conditions,
but during the last year many riders
have become convinced that the higher
gear did not have in practice the the
oretical disadvantages in hill climbing
or going through sand that it was sup
posed to have.

Most makers show some changed
form of bearings, and almost every
one of them lays claim to some new
dust-proof quality, but as yet no one
shows a gear case to protect from dirt
that most vulnerable part, the chain
and sprockets. That there is a ten
dency, however, to introduce the gear
case seems evident from the fact that
provision has been made on several
makes to leave room for it. The Hum
Der people quote gear cases at SO, al
though they have none in stock. Many
makers call attention to chains which
| they assert are better in strength and
| quality than those of previous years.
All of these, however, are of the ordi-
nary block variety, except that on the
Keating machine, which is provided
with a roller chain. A new style of
| sprocket wheel has been adopted by
the Humber and the Remington, which
seems to have points of great advan-
| tage. In this case, in addition, to the
sprocket teeth which engage with the
! chain, there is formed, on each side
of the face of the wheel a narrow
! flange, and upon this the edges of the
side links of the chain rest. The clear
| advantage lies in the fact that the
| fiange prevents the chain from draw
| ing down over the sprockets, and this
| getting out of the proper position, in
| which it's touch upon the sprocket
| teeth is a rolling friction only, and be-
coming a sliding friction. Dirt in such
a gear is likely to be more of a dis
| advantage than it is in the usual
| sprocket wheels.

Taking now a more detailed view of
the changes which concern the buyer
and user Of the wheel, one naturally
turns first to the doings of the Col
umbia people. Nickel steel tubing of
their own make replaces the plain
steel Of previous years. and trusting
to the stiffer qualities of this material
to resist denting, the tubing has been
made thinner and One-eighth of an
inch larger in diameter,the larger parts
being III inch, instead of 1ls inch.
Flush joints have been substituted for
the older style, and here it is claimed
that not only is the eye pleased, but
greater strength is produced. A radi-
cal change has been made in the wheel
hubs. The spoke ftange has been aban-
doned, and in place of it double rows
of studs are inserted, through which
are threaded direct pulling tangent
spokes. In the crank hanger bearing
ball reteiners have been provided, and
these are novel, In that they carry felt
washers designed to act as oil retain
ers and oilers for the balls. These felts
are said to be capable of holding
enough oil to keep the bearings run
ming for four months, and the max
ers' faith in them Is shown by the fact
frame. About three times a year the
bearings will need changing and ad-
iusting. by forging the sprocket spi-
der and the crank in one piece the
crank bearings have been widened one
quarter of an inch, while at the same
time the tread has been reduced from
5A inches TO, 5 inches.
The VictoTia's main point Of differ
ence from the '96 model lies in the
bearings These, for the wheels and
the crank hanger, have a new flush
finish, which it is believed will make
them dustproof without the use of felt
washers. The tread has been reduced
10 5h inches from 5A inches, and all
the bearings are to be oiled through
holes in the ends Of their axles. The
holes are protected by little plunger
valves.

The makers of the Victor and of the
Spalding will each have SIS machines
this year, besides their regular 500
machines. In the case of the Victor,
the announcement is plainly made that
the S75 machine of '97 will be the 90
model, made and finished in the same
manner as the 500 machine. The eX-
ira cost of the new model machine,
the makers say, lies largely in the pro-
viding of new machinery and tools for
it, and by continuing to use the mach
inery of last year, the old model can
be profitably made and sold at the low
er price. The Spalding s75 machine, al
so will be the makers SO model, except
that new hub, designed and used for
the '97 machine, will be substituted for
the style which proved weak in the
spoke sockets in last years wheels.
OF course, many of the changes which
have been made in wheels are of con-
sequence only to the maker or of in
terest only to the mechanic. Changes,
for instance, which are to provide easi-
er or better ways to insure strength
in the frame or general parts, are of
little consequence to the buyer except
where those parts were proved by last
years tests to be especially liable to
give trouble.

a good many features OF the single
tax idea, for example, but who are too
conservative to advocate an applica-
tion of the theory to lands already
controlled by individuals. Such per-
sons would welcome some experiments
with the theory in the regions now
owned by the Government, which can
be made arabic by irrigation, and 1t is
not at all unlikely that well consid-
cred plan for developing these lands
and putting them into use, with the
Government as a great land
ed proprietor and the people as les
sees, or renters, may be adopted by
Congress before many years. In time
these lands will be source Of great
wealth to someone, and as they are
now owned by the Government and
there is strong sentiment in favor
of launching the Nation into an ex-
pertinent of that sort, there seems to
be no good reason why the Govern
ment should not undertake, by irriga-
ton, to put large bodies Of arid lands
in condition to yield the Treasury a
substantial revenue, and at the same
time make a test Of the effects of
such an enterprise on the social con-
ditions, the industry and the enter
prise Of people who are anxious to
take part in such an experiment.

The Circus Preacher.

From the Ottawa Republican.
The Ringing circus was billed for
Chanute yesterday. The aggregation
arrived in the town Sunday, and
spread its big tent. Then polite note
was sent to each minister of the city,
and to the leading influential mem
beers Of each church society, stating
that the regular staff minister Of the
circus would hold his usual divine SER
vice in the big tent that evening,
and inviting the ministers and The
aforesaid prominent leaders, with
their congregations to participate in a
great union meeting.
Well, now maybe that invitation
didn't take 1t was so electrically
startling that it wentlik flash over
the city and even the sinners heard
Of the news and spoke favorablY of it.
And when the.time came. such anothi
nar goin to meetin' was never know
n that town. Old sin-cascd hulks of
wlckedness whose moral sensibilities
you couldn't get at with charge of
dynamite and who havn't been inside
a church since their wedding day land
who were married in a justice court
them fiocked to the gospel meeting in
the circus tent, and it was filled up
till it ran over the brim.
1t was very devout occasion, no
doubt. And next day extra ticket sell
lers were put on at the ticket wagons,
for not man, woman or child who
could hire or borrow the price but was
there togo the great moral show"
where flip flops were turned in re-
ligious light and the lion and the
whangdoodle literally roared and
mourned for their firstoorn.

Uncle Sam AS A Land Owner,

According to the annual report of
the commissioner Of the general land
office at Washington, the United
States Government still ownes nearly
800 million acres of land, in addition
to the 1863 million acres embraced in
Alaska. This land is in twenty-five
states and territories. Montana
stands at the head Of the list, with III
million acres. There are still a mil
lion acres Of public land in Kansas,
half million acres in Missouri and
10i million acres in Nebraska.
The greater part Of the Govern
ment's possessions consist of arid lands
and mountainous districts, which are
unfit for agricultural uses. Though
without much value at the present
time, many million acres of this great
public domnln is destined at some
future tame to support large popu-
lation, by means of cultivation with
the aid Of irrigation, and the present
growing sentiment in favor OF experi-f
ments In Government operation
industries will probably result, before
many years, in the construction of
vast irrigation systems in the arid re-
gions, by the United States Govern
ment. There is an excellent oppor-
tunity, that, to test some Of the popu-I
lar sOcialistic theories without dis
turbance Of the exls ting industrial
and social conditions, and without
any chance Of serious loss to the gov
! eminent.
There are many people In the Unit
ed States who are inclined to approve
