London News: This cycling age is
making itself felt in many unwonted
directions The great London drapers
and the houses where women mostly do
their afternoon shopping have long
since made provision for stabling cycles
and now the British Museum authori-
ties are providing similar accommoda-
tions for the machines ridden by the
readers who frequent the library and
the great reading room. 1t has been
evident to the British Museum officials
for some time past that accommodation
last two years, at any time of fine wea-
ther, from ten to twenty bicycles may
have been noticed at once, left within
the Museum ratings. This was done
at owners risk, but when the new cycle
stable under the portico is finished this
autumn riders will be able to leave their
mounts there with safety. AS many as
six hundred people have been known

the average number is $50. AS many
as hundred cycles have been left in
the Museum grounds in a day.
A device adopted by the Great West

the transportation of bicycles is said
to have proved very successful and
may be tried in this country. 1t con-

two yards long and one-half as wide,

of the van, and a pad strapped to 1t.
A second machine is laid against the
first, and a pad attached. When sep

wheels, which are also packed in small

extricated by the baggage men.

Furman has issued a challenge
through 1. S. Logan of Riverside for
race from one to ten miles. This chal-
lenge is aimed at Shoemaker, and it is
likely that the men will be seen in COM
petition September 9th at Riverside,
upon the occasion of the annual meet
of the Riverside Wheelmen.
Many inventors have essayed designs
intended TO reduce the space required
for packing a wheel. An Ohio dealer
tries Its solution by cutting the frame
and supplying an easily adjusted splic-
ing device, consisting of collar and a
locking key. The wheel is quickly re-
solved into several parts, but the splic-
ing device does not add to its graceful
ness.
A Cleveland inventor has originated It
device to fasten the handle bars within
the head, with the intention of making
a neat finish for the top of the steering
head He attains his object by a split
plug within the handle bar steering
head, tightened by a screw elongated
to issue between the forks at their
head in a square nut. An Illinois in
ventor provides for a speed changing
device allowing three variations. A
lever worked by the foot throws the
mechanism into play, and provides for
an ordinary gear for road riding, low
gear for hill climbing and for throwing
off the gear when coasting. The hands
are always left free for guiding the
wheel.
New York Times: Many of the cycle
makers profess to believe the gear case
will be offered as an option on many
makes of wheels next year 1t is urged
that the chainless wheel has a running
gear always clean and not influenced by
rain or dust. so that TO indulge any
reasonable hope of competing with it
chain driven wheels must have their
gear inclosed. To overcome the objec-
tion of the high cost of good gear case
It is claimed that when all makers use
them the cost of their manufacture
will be reduced to a minimum In
ladies' models, by replacing the chain
guard, a large part of the cost will
be saved
To provide an easy method Of clean
ing a chain without detaching it from
its position, a Chicago firm has put
out a washer of some merit The wheel

Railways in England,

John Macaulay, traffic manager of
the Mersey railway, has announced
that he is in favor of the nationaliza-
ton Of the railways of the United King
dom, and declares that the question is
rapidly becoming one of practical poll
tics. He says that railroads, like all
other roads, should be under public
authority, and wisely used, with bust
ness-like interest of adequately salts
flying needs of the nation, with the
least possible waste and duplication
of useless work." Mr.. Macaulay esti-
maltese that at least 20 to "a per cent.
of the total working cost of the rail-
ways would be saved by the mere act
Of consolidation. One Of the advan-
tages he notes would be that railways
could be constructed and worked at a
loss where advisable in those parts OF
the nation where companies would not
build because it would not pay" Thus
many industries and localities now un-
developed would receive new life, and
it would pay the country to lose money
on the railways for years.

The Lizard Was Too Spry.

While in the country last Sunday the
editor saw black snake try to cap
ture a lizard for it's dinner. The lizard
had the better Of the snake in the con-
test, which took place in cluster Of
saplings. The lizard would run up a
sapling clear to the top and patiently
wait until the snake would slowly wind
it's way about half way up the sapling,
when the lizard would fling itself from
the tree, both striking the ground about
the same time. but before the snake
could get itself Strengthened out the
lizard. which did not have to uncoil
would scale up another sapling, when
the snake would repeat it's effort to
procure dinner. The snake. not
being the ready climber the lizard was,
was at great disadvantage in the
contest, and. after many efforts, APP
parently gave 1t up as fruitless job.

Rabbit TRAPS.

One of the incidents and expenses OF
orcharding on a large scale not like
ly to be thought of by the casual OBJ
server is the constant warfare which it
is necessary to wage on the rabbits so
likely to work great destruction to
young apple trees. This is illustrated
by the operations of Wellhouse & Son,
of Topeka, Kan, who are recognized as
the Apple Kings, as reported by Secre-
tary F. D. Coburn of the State Board of
Agriculture. For their orchard in
Usage county they used q carload of
lumber in the construction of LOO rab-
bit traps; for their three orchards in
Leavenworth county they have l,6OU
traps, and in Miami county orchard
400 traps. These consist of box ~
inches long, made of ordinary 6-1nch
lumber, l inch thick, closed at one end,
and with an misunderstanding wire gate
in the other end, which is shut by con-
tact of the rabbit with trigger after
he has fairly entered. About four feet
of lumber and four feet of No. ~ GAL
vaniZed iron wire are consumed in the
making of each trap, which costs, COM
plete, from 1917 to Is cents. This trap,
as now constructed, is considered we'll
nigh perfect, cost and efficiency cons1d-
cred, and is the result of twenty years
of experimentation in making traps,
and studying the nature and habits OF
the rabbits. In this connection the
word rabbit applies only to the ordin-
airy cotton-tail and not to the larger
jack-rabbit, which the Messrs. Well
house say is not especially troublesome
to the apple trees.

Value of Clover.-A German author
ity says that the root and stubble of a
good crop of red clover weigh over
three tons an acre when dry and con-
tain 1870 pounds of nitrogen, Z of phos-
phoric acid and II of potash, all OF
which is placed, when carried under
the soil, in the most available form for
growing crops. If the resulting crops
are removed from the soil one can cas-
lily see how clover can be used for soil
robbing as we'll as restoring fertility.
