The change from the ordinary to the
safety wheel, from solid to cushion
tires, from cushion to pneumatic tires,
and other improvements were not made
without encountering obstacles and op-
position, but Columbia bevel-gears
have proven successful from the time
of their first introduction to the pub
lie.
Up to date we have shipped our Gus
toners over 1000 Columbia bevel-gear
chainless bicycles. All who have ridden
these wheels admit that they are bet
ter hill-climbers than any chain wheels
yet made. The purchasers of these BIZ
cycles are unanimous in the opinion
that in ease and noiselessness of run
ming, in strength and lasting qualities,
in the time saved in cleaning and ad-
justing the driving mechanism, they
are vastly superior to any other form of
cycle construction. To ride a Colum-
bia chainless bicycle, is to be convinced
of its superiority and to enjoy to the
fullest the pleasures of cycling.

ROsecrnns.

The late Gen. Rosecrans ran up
against a tartar once, but he had the
good sense not to let his rufflcd dignity
cause him to lose his temper. The
story, as told by Col. James Z. Ster-
ling, is as follows:
Company A, of the Seventh Ohio, was
formerly the light guards of Cleveland,
and was one of the best drilled COM
panies in the army. twas commanded
by Capt. Creighton. The Seventh Ohio
was in West Virginia in 1861, and "Old
Rosy" was in command. The supplies
for the army were brought up the
Kanawha river in boats which were un-
loaded by details from the regiment.
Gen. Rosecrans had ordered that sol
diers on duty must wear their equip
ment. Company A was sent out to un-
load a boat, and Capt. Creighton per
United the men to take off their equip
ment and their coats as well while
engaged in this hard work. When
the work had been completed, the men
and officers sprawled out on the grass
for rest, and then Gen. Rosecrans
and some of his staff rode up. The gen.
eral looked at the soldiers a minute
and then called for the commanding
officer. Capt. Creighton did not know
Gen. Rosecrans, but he rose to his
feet.
"Who commands this company?'
asked the general.

piled the captain.

general, sternly that it is against or

equipments when on duty?"

Capt. Creighton, but the man that is

towards the boat.
A soldier approached Capt, Creigh

''No, and | don't care"
"That's Gen. Rosecrans, the com

THE BEES WE'RE READY FOR THEM
they wanted, when suddenly we dis
covered about 50 confederate cavalry
men coming along the road from the
east about three-quarters of mile off.
They saw us about the same time and
came on a run for us. We started the
two Seventy-Ninth men for the corner
of the woods southwest of us and we
stayed to reconnOiter. West of the
house there was big gate leading into
the yard and on the south side of the
yard was another leading into the field;
about a rod back of the road leading
through the yard, standing against the
fence, were about % beehiyes.
The One Hundred and Fifth man and
l got on our horses and rode into the
field; then my companion got off his
horse and told me to hold him. He
ran back, threw both gates open and
as he came back upset about dozen
beehives, and got on his horse as the
confederates were about 40 rods Off.

federates came to the gate, and seeing

those horses did. They were kicking,
rearing, turning somersaults and roll
ing over all at the same time, and
there must have been at least 40 who
ran the gauntlet. The confederates
themselves were as lively as their
horses and going through some most
outlandish maneuvers.
In the meantime there were about a
dozen who could not keep up. They
saw what was going on and did not
get into the trap, but went west of the
house and commenced tearing down the
fence. On these we opened with our
Henry rifle and three Spencers (the
Seventy-Ninth boys were armed with
Spencers). We emptied our magazines
at them and they got behind the house.

Ny Dear Sir: l send you herewith the re-
suits in detail of my investigation of the
efficiency of your chainless wheel No sos,
which was referred to in the article on the
Overman dynamometer published In The
American Wheelman," December %, 1897,
as affording an efficiency Of only 1873 per
cent. at 81 pounds pedal pressure and
about five miles per hour. The substance
Of the detailed report is as follows;
The wheel was tested by me in connec-
tlon with your engineers before 1t was sent
to Chieopee, and found to be fully equal
in efficiency to your best chain wheels
After it's return from Chicopee examined
the wheel and found 1t badly out of adjust
| ment Upon readjustment 1t showed sub
stantially the same efficiency as those at
| the first test, and under conditions as
nearly as possible those l believe to have
| existed in connection with the Overman
| test its efficiency was 1921 per cent
Ny tests were all made with the Webb
dynamometcr, and with the assistance
of your engineers. This apparatus, which
| is extremely accurate and delicate, Is ex-
planned in detail in my report to you which
was published in the Iron Age" of Octoh9r
| q, 1897.
| Regarding the Overman dynamometer I
| know but little, as your request that I
| might be allowed to witness Mr.. Overman's s
| tests was not acceded to by him.
