Recent Inventions.

A Californian Las invented a trunk
which can be used as a table, one Of
the trays having hinged sides whfsh
can be opened outward and the tray
inverted and set on top of the trunk.
A new curtain pole bracket has an
attachment to hold a shade roller in
position, two extension shafts being
provided with sleeves into which the
ends of the roller fit.
Incandescent lamps are provided
with refectors by winding on the upper
norton of the bulb silver, aluminium or
other bright, non~-tarnishing wire, Sc
cured in place with soluble glass.
A recently patented bicycle pump
has a spring inside the hollow piston
rod to force it outward after each
stroke of the pump, a pin being used
to lock the piston in a closed position
for placing in the tool bag.
To dampen the clothes before IRON
ing a Texas woman has invented a
device which consists of a water re-
ceptacle with a sponge at the bottom
to be attached to the nose of the iron
| and wet the cloth as it slides along.
In a new bicycle saddle the seat por-
ton is hinged to the frame in front
and is pressed upward by a spring &C
| tuated pin, set in the rear part of the
| frame, which relieves the jar of the
| rider in going over rough surfaces.
A handy ash sitter which needs no
| shaking has a slanting screen set with
in a casing with an ash receiver at the
top and two receptacles at the bottom,
one for the coal and the other for the
ashes that pass through the screen.
Check reins can not become unfas-
tened accidentally from a new holder.
which is hinged to the pad and springs
upward to receive the loop in the rein.
after which it is pressed back against
the pad and held in place by a spring.
Variable throw cranks for bicycles
are arranged to slide through sleeves
fixed on the axle, the crank hanger
carrying eccentric disks f1uted with
grooves in which rollers mounted on
the cranks work to reciprocate the
crank in the sleeve.
In a new grinding mill two flat
trimmed wheels are attached to a ver-
tical shaft which turns the wheels
through a V-shaped bed having a cir
cular rail at the bottom, over which
the wheels run to crush the grain as it
falls from the hopper.
In a recently patented safety device
for elevators two rows of pins are set
in the guideways of the shaft with
hooks mounted on the elevator to catch
in them as soon as the cable which
supports the elevator breaks and al
lows the springs to operate.

Pistol Firing so Shots Per Minute.

A recoil pistol, self-loadng. IN the
invented by Mauser, the famous Ger
man maker of small arms, which fires
eighty shots per minute. The general
arrangement of the arm is that of the
modern magazine guns, on a smaller
scale, the principal difference being in
the sliding breech-block and firing
mechanism, the force of the recoil
throwing the block back and at the
same time COMPRISING a long spiral
spring, which returns it after the cart
ridge has been fed upward. So long
as the trigger is drawn back the fir
ing continues. while, if the trigger be
released, the weapon remains loaded
and cooked ready for action upon the
next pull of the finger. The cartridges
are fastened together in charges of ten,
which can be very quickly loaded into
the magazine. The pistol is also made
for twenty cartridges at a loading. The
rapidity of fire is, of course, the great
point, and it is stated eighty shots a
minute can be successfully fired. No
attempt is made to cool the barrel, as
Is done in the Maxim gum, but no ILL
effects appear from this omission. A
ten-shot pistol of this type was fired
1900 times as rapidly as possible, with
out being cooled or cleaned, and oper-
ated perfectly without apparent injury,
while no appreciate wear upon the
parts was visible after 10000 shots.

U. l.. Stevens, who is in second 0o-
sltlon in the percentage tables, does
not rightfully belong there. Stevens
gained a high percentage during the
early part of the season, through the
ana OF MS team mate, and in the latter
part OF the season, and towards the
close of the National Circuit, would not

lnent men met, in order to save his
percentage. Stevens has defeated Bald
but C during the whole year, AMI
hls alone shows his standing among
the other men. Stevens gained nis
percentage when the prominent men
were Off the circuit in most part.
Bald has defeated Cooper 81 times
THIS season, and has been defeated but
seven times. Tom Cooper is the only
rlder OF the present season who has
not beaten every man on the circuit.
y. II. Newton of Stafford Springs,

ster on he circuit this season, alone
pears the honor and distinction of not
having been defeated by Tom Cooper
In the final Of open scratch events.
Newton Joined the circuit at Erie, Pa,
July IL, and was a constant follower
Oh the circuit to it's close. At Water
oury, Newton defeated Bald twice in
n day. He has defeated Bald three
times during the season, and in turn
mas been beaten eight times. New
tons proportion in the number of de-
feats against defeated stands better
than that of the other men.
Arthur Gardiner has been defeated
rs times, and has only six victories
over Bald. Fred Loughead, the Can
adam, and the mile and a quarter
champion of the United States, has
suffered defeat at the hands of Bald
10 times during the season. Loughead
in turn has defeated Bald five times.
The first ten men in the percentage
table have defeated Bald only % times,
while those below the 500 mark have
credits of beating Bald Is times, no
man more than once or twice.

have a wide field of usefulness before
On the Decline.

The popularity of the bicycle club
run seems to be on the decline. In
the early days of cycling the CLUB
run" was the most popular feature of
cycle club life. Now, however, the in
creased number of riders has brought
about a division of interest, and the
club runs lack the support of the vet
eran riders. New members display an
interest in club runs, and attend these
weekly features religiously until the
novelty wears off. 1t is claimed that
at the present time the cycling field is
so broad that riders can travel in al
most any direction with comfort and
ease. This circumstance makes it i'm
possible for road officers to choose runs
acceptable to the tastes of all riders.
The custom of holding a run each week
is still maintained by most of the local
organizations, but the lack of interest
in such events is gradually reducing
the regular schedule.

KEPT AT 1T WHILE ASLEEP.
A Mean Trick Which an Engineer
Played on HIS Fireman.

I'VE have some pretty long stretches
of duty" said a locomotive engineer to
a Philadelphia Record man the other
day, "and it isn't an uncommon thing
for a man to go for forty-eight hours.

best policy for q railroad company TO
allow such a thing to happen, but
sometimes it can't be helped. 1t wois'd
be a pretty serious thing for al tx
gineer to go TO sleep at his pest. You
think it would be hard for a man TO
sleep under such circumstances, eh?
Well, | never heard of the engineer do
ing it, although sometimes they come
pretty near to doing, but lAy own
fireman went sound asleep during me
of my runs recently. The Ioor fell

three days without a wink CT sleep

question he was simply dead tired. He

1t was his place then to ring the bell
continuously until we got into the train

regularity and l wondered at his vital

Then | saw that he was asleep. |

watched him for two or three hours,

him up his arm was sore and he was
mad as a hatter.''

Winter Riding for Women,

The greatest care must be taken OF
the hands if the wheelwoman INDUCES
in winter riding. Very few women,
if they have pretty hands, can afford
to neglect them, and large, i~ll-shaped
members can be greatly improved with
attention at the right time. ~Independ-
ent of appearances, it is extremely I'M
comfortable to be afflicted with ~chapped
hands of this description. The Wheel
m on her return from a frosty ride
should be careful not to bring her
hands in contact with the fire, no
matter how cold she may feel. When
retiring she should apply a mixture Of
gylcerine and lemon juice and draw
over them clean gloves or mitts.

Fate of Old Wheels.

What becomes of all the old wheels?
This is a question as common today as
the old one of where do all the pins
go to?" The query is partly answered
by the fact hat whole car loads of
ancient wheels are shipped every year
to those sections of the South where
poor negroes most abound. The black
man on a wheel of long forgotten mo-
del is no uncommon sight south Of
the Mason and Dixon line. Sold at
ridiculously low prices, these discard
ed wheels are eagerly sought for by
the young men and women descended
from Ham. Impromptu races in 1.-The
quarters" are as much a feature on
Southern plantations today as were
the picturesque dances and cotton har-
vest festivals of the bygone period.
That there is more fun in affairs of
this sort can easily be imagined, and
that the wearing qualities of the wheel
are severely tested is a fact none will
dispute who ever saw a ~pickaninny
astride a bicycle for the first time.

Ihere are, however, isolated cases on

Their proof was discovered from exper-
iments which the Academy of Sciences
was allowed to make on the body of a
mar who was guillotined. This was
taken the instant it fell and placed up
on a pivot free to move as it might. The
mead part, after a little vacillation,
turned to the north, and the body then
remained stationary. 1t was turned

tum in a straight line, which prevents
it from falling off the swiftly-moving
fiat belt, and thus, in an unbroken
stream, it is carried from one end of the
great warehouse to the other. When it
is desired to discharge the wheat from
the belt into a hopper, a movable frame
called a "tripper" runs or a track I'M
derneath the belt. The tripper carries
a roller on each side, one being placed
much above the level of the belt; the
latter rises in a curve, passing over the
upper roller and beneath the lower one,
and the sudden change OF direction
causes the wheat to shoot from the belt
into the hopper.
