USE OF TOE CLIPS.
They Are of Real Value in Spite of
Old Traditions,

Many cyclists scorn the use of toe
clips as the fad of the scorcher. That
is where they err. A sense of security
is invaluable to the cyclist. If he is
well seated and feels certain of firm
hold upon grips and pedals, the diff
culties and annoyances of rough rid
ing are greatly lessened. The toe clip,
as applied to the old-time wheel. was a
most dangerous thing for road use,
and affected only by daring riders who
fancied imitation of the racing man
the chief end of cycling existence. But
the invention of the safety" and con-
sequent passing of the header" ad-
vanced the clip to a leading place
among accessories and gave it new i'm
portance. The common assertion that
the toe clip is dangerous may be re-
garded as wholly due to lingering MEM
cries of bruised heads and bloody noses,
primarily caused by misplaced conf
dence in the appurtenances in the days
of it's use on the high bicycle. The only
fall sane rider can get from a safety
is side fall, the bad results of which
cannot be much increased through use
of toe clips.

rying a bicycle saddle, a handle bar,
pedals, sprocket wheels and chain. The
resemblance to the bicyclegoesno furth-
er. The small sprocket wheel which is
driven from the large sprocket on the
main shaft by the medium of a chain is
secured to small rotary pump which
is fastened at the rear of the frame.
The suction pipe of the pump ends near
the bottom of the tub and the discharge
pipe is curved as shown in the engray-
ing and ends in the sprinkler arrange
ment common to all shower baths. A
cock halfway up the discharge pipe
permits of the water being turned on
to the sprinkler or through the hose and
nozzle, depending on whether bath is
desired or not.
1t is, of course, perfectly possible to
obtain the exercise without getting wet,
the pump furnishing the resistance nee
essary for the exercise and the water
which is pumped being discharged by
means of the rubber tube and nozzle.
When the rider has exercised sufficient
ly, he can reach backward and turn the
cock so as to let the water pass upward
and out of the sprinkler. The harder he
pedals, the larger the stream.
1t is possible to direct a stream Of
water on any part of the body by means
of the nozzle connected with the rub
Der tube. The tub can be divided into
two compartments. one containing hot
water and the other cold water, and the
cold and hot douche may then be used
at will. The device could be made to set
in any ordinary bathtub. Itwould seem
that the "Velo-Douche" has a future
for use in the cycle clubs. riding acade-
mics, sanitariums and in the army

tens, often going considerable dis
tances with them to get them to a safe
place.
More than one boy has climbed q
tree thinking that he could knock OFF
the squirrel when he had cornered
him at the top where there was no es-
cape. But the squirrel shps from limb
to limb and chatters wildly, and when
he has reached the very top and sees
the boy coming he will jump for his
life from a tree 30 or 40 feet high to
the ground-landing dead or crippled
Oh, no, he spreads out his legs
and tail, and with a jump slides
through the air like q thrown single
and ahghts safely, to scamper joyfully
away. And the boy comes down with
his labor for his pains.
There is perpetual battle between
the squirrels and the birds. Nothing
suits a red squirrel betterth plump
young robin or sparrow or bluebird for
breakfast, and he will resort to almost
any trick to get the mother bird off its
nest long enough for him to commit
the theft.
The hapless and featherlessb bird strug-
giles family for few moments, but
its captor soon puts it beyond suffering,
and then eats it with as much relish as
a schoolgirl shows for pickle or an
olive. These little lunches, however,
often are rudely broken in upon by the
wrathful parents of the unhappy bird
,lings, and then follows a scene which
is worth seeing. The squirrel has need
of all his agility to dodge the blows
aimed at him from all directions by the
outraged birds. Not infrequently sew
eral pairs of birds, and even several spe-
cies, unite in the attack on the common
enemy, but after many narrow escapes
-tail-breadth escapes, perhaps-and
;perilous leaps and cunning subterfuges,
the assassin usually reaches some hol-
low tree or other safe refuge where he
may dress his rufled coat and reflect on
the uncertainties of life.-Chicago Rec

NOVEL SHOWER BATH.
A Device Combating Exercise and
the Morning Additions.

the Morning Additions.
At the recent cycle show in Paris,
prominent English bicycle manufac-
turer presented novelty called "Velo-
Douche," which is an eminently prac-
teal device for combining exercise and
the morning ablutions. Many wheel
men have doubtless often desired to
obtain a shower bath after violent ex-
ercising on the wheel, so as to obtain
the sedative effect of the brisk reaction.
Many bicycle and athletic clubs are
provided with every facility for OBJ
tanning this end, but such means are
not always at the disposal of the rider,
especially in the country.
The device which we illustrate is
really combination of the home ex-
erciser and shower bath, and it enables
the rider to obtain any amount OF ex-
ercise desired with or without the bath.
The machine consists of a shallow tub
to which is secured a framework car

HAS PECULIAR HABITS.

The Red Squirrel Is Almost as Mis-
chievous Ms n Boy.
A red squirrel is almost as mischiev-
Gus and cunning asa boy. A few days
ago lady who lives in little Michigan
town hung up pair of short sash cur
tains to dry after washing. When she
came back to get them the line was emp
ty; the curtains had disappeared. At
first she thought some mischievous boy
was playing joke on her. Then quite
suddenly she saw something white
glimmering among the sweeping
branches of an old spruce tree. She eN-
amined it more closely. 1t was one of
her sash curtains, and it seemed to be-
jigging about as if it had life. AS she
ran to the rescue a funny little red head
popped up from the folds of the curtain
and jetty eye sparkled mischievously.
When the squirrel found that he had
been caught in his thievery he dropped
the curtain, scampered up the tree and
ran out on limb. Then he scolded and
chartered in the most excited manner,
as if he was trying to explain his &C
tons. At the same time he seemed
greatly disappointed in not having cap
tured the prize.
After the lady had recovered one Of
her curtains she began a search for the
other. At last she was rewarded by
seeing it lodged high up in a crotch of a
tree, where Mrs. Squirrel was busily ar
ranging it for her summer home.
Mother squirrels carry their children
about very much as n cat carries her kit

1897 q Lucky Year.

This ought to be lucky year, for it
has so few eclipses. In fact only two of
these shadowy phenomena occur during
1897, and both affect the light of the
sun, but in each case the moon happens
to be so far from the earth at the time
she crosses the suns face that the
eclipse is not total.
One of these "annu1ar'' eclipses, so
called because in those places on the
earth where the moon appears crossing
directly over the center of the sun the
edge of the latter projects from behind
the moon on all sides, like a blazing
ring or annulus, occurred Monday aft
ernoon, Feb. l. But even If the sky had
been clear at the time very little of the
eclipse would have been seen here, no
more, in fact, than the mere edge of
the moon just notching the disk of the
sun. One would have had to go to
South America or to the south Pacific
ocean in order to see the sun turned in
to a fiery circle.
The second annular eclipse and the
only other eclipse of the year occurs on
the morning of July 80, when better
opportunity will be afforded us to be-
hold the black globe of the moon partly
covering the sun. On that occasion the
ring will be visible in Mexico and some
of the West India islands.
Astronomers pay comparatively little
attention to annular eclipses, because
they do not reveal those marvellous
streams and banners of glowing gas or
electrified particles surrounding the sun
which become visible only during the
darkness of total eclipse.
On the other hand, superstitious peo-
pie, who think total eclipses are por-
tents of evil, ought to rejoice over
year which has only annular eclipses,
displaying their golden ring in the
heavens as if for real bridal of the
earth and sky. &c. P. S. in New York

ITO Wa11op."

This verb. in the sense of to beat or
thrash, is common in the northern
counties and also in Scotland. Hens
leigh Wedgwood says that "the use of
wallop in low language in the sense of
beating seems to be taken from compar-
ing the motion of the arm to the action
of water dashing to and fro (cf. pot
walloper, one who boiIs pot). Norm.
vloper, to thrash (rosser). DR.. Char
mock, in ''Verba Nominalia, assigns
different origin to the word. He says
that Mr.. John Cough Nicholas derives
the word from an ancestor of the Earl of
Portsmouth, one Sir John Wallop, K.
g., who in Henry Wits time distin-
guished himself by walloping the
French DR.. Brewer, in his 'sDiction-
airy of Phrase and Fable" gives the
same derivation and says that Sir John
was sent to Normandy to make repri-
sails because the French feet had burn
ed Brighton. Notes and Queries.
