. The Proper Ttinga - Wear when Rao.
4 ing or Riding for Pleasure.
j Sweaters are fast losing their popu-
larity among wheelmen. and are now
almost entirely confined to racers and
scorchers. They will probably be seen
but little among the better class OF
riders this year, as the extra comfort
gained by their wear Is considered
more than offset by the impossibility
Of preserving spruce appearance
when wearing them. Double-breaste
coats seem to be on the increase with
cyclers. Knickerbockers to be Of this
years style must be worn full, with
considerable bagginess at the knees.
and with cuffs Of the same material as
the body. Stockings Of solid colors
with fancy colored tops, especially dark
blue or black, threaten to replace the
lplaids. The footless stocking to be
worn with half hose is being generally
adopted. Knickerbockers Of q decided
pattern will be worn with coats Of a
different pattern, generally darker, and
OF a solid color. In headgear the Fee
dora, or some style OF felt hat, Is pre-
ferred to cloth caps. Bicycle shoes are
to be heavier and with slight extension
soles. In shirts. the fancy neglisee.
with white collars and cuffs, will be
popular, the outfitters say, worn with
gay -cOlored neckties.
For women's wear bright colors will
be worn, and skirts with coats and
vests of different colors will be pre-
|ferred to suit Of one color. In hats.
ME Tam O. Shanter and the turban

shapes, and chips and wide panamas
viii be worn in hot weather.
\ A method Of obtaining the approxi-
mate speed at which a rider is cycling
is suggested by cycling paper as fol-
lows: The rate Of speed Is ascertained
by noting the number Of revolutions
which the pedal crank makes in given
humber Of seconds--the number Of Sec
onds In every instance depending upon
the gear Of the bicycle. For example.
a rider whose wheel is geared at 66
goes as many miles per hour as his
pedal cranks make revolutions ID 1l.7s
seconds. The following gears and Sec
onds to correspond In this method are
given: Gear 81, seconds s.s4; gear 60,
seconds 1912; gear 66. seconds lib;
gear u, seconds 1884; gear rs, seconds
1892; gear 81, seconds Is; gear 80, Sec
onds 1903; gear So, seconds TIA. In
asmuch as the ordinary rider would be
unable to split seconds with the re-
puisite fineness for this table, the
method is good only for rough cal
culation.

The Coral Island o.

Prof. Agassiz of Harvard has recent
ly returned after an absence Of some
months on the South Seas, spent in
studying the formation Of the coral
islands. 1t Is said that he is now pre-
pared to demonstrate, in opposition to
the theories Of Darwin and Dana, that
the coral'islands are not built up from
the bottom, but are formed by COM
paratively thin crust Of coral upon tops
Of submerged mountains at points
where the ocean Is comparatively shall
low. In nearly every instance where
borings have been made In the coral,
the coral has been found to be shallow.
At a few places where it seems to have
great depths Prof. Agassiz says that
the materials into which deep borings
are made is lime Of former age of the
earth

San Francisco is the banner port of
this country for the importation of
opium for smoking purposes. The i'm
portation last year aggregated 121, 401
pounds, and the duty of 50 per pound
amounted to $723,406. The drug was
in the form prepared exclusively for
smoking, and is not available for other
uses. 1t comes in half-pound boxes,
put up very much like spices and pep
per. 1t is dark brown, sticky sub
stance, like New Orleans molasses in
appearance. All smoking opium comes
from China. The drug in its medicinal
torn Is imported from Turkey.

Brave crew on Burning steamer.


Barnegat, N. j., July 1.-THE Clyde
line steamship Delaware, bound from
New York to Charleston, 8. c., which
caught fire at Sea Just above here Fri,
day night was utterly destroyed. Com
manded by an American skipper. with
an American crew, the lives 81 her So
passengers were saved amid thrilling
acts of heroism. Not until every. pas
senger was safe did a member Of the
crew attempt to care for himself, and
many of them bear as marks Of honor
huge scars and blisters from the flames
they courageously faced. For Captain
A. P. -Ingraham and his brave men this
rescued passengers speak in enthusiast
tic praise. Goodness, courage, discip-
line and the broadcast humanity were
displayed amid the most trying circum-
stances and in the face of almost GER
tain death. Not one act Of cowardico
can be recorded against a man of the
ship.

The oars exported to European coun-
tries are chiefly Of lengths from ten
feet upward. Oars of shorter lengths
they supply themselves. To Australia
the United States send oars of all
lengths, and the same is true of South
Africa. Up and down the coast Of
South America none but American
oars are used, and in any harbor in
the world where man is seen rowing
boat, in China, Japan, anywhere, it
is more than likely that he Is pulling
with American oars.

Names By which OMcsrs and the Different
Sections Of Army and Navy are Known.
When everybody IL interested In the
movements Of the army and navy, the
average reader IL not unlikely to be-
come confused with the multiplicity OF
terms and titles employed In the news
papers. He may make the mistake,
for instance, of thinking that cap
tain in the navy is the equal In rank OF
of captain in the infantry, or that
captain in the infantry is bigger
man than naval lieutenant. He may
be interested to know that there are
two kinds Of squadrons, one which
runs on land and one which travels
on the water; that a regiment Of artil-
lery consists of u batteries OF six guns
each, and that a regiment Of cavalry
is composed Of IL troops, two or more
of which form a squadron. The rela-
tive ranks of the officers Of the army
and navy and the divisions in the
formation of these two branches Of the
service are as follows: ,-''-

wealth to be gained in the river trade, and Eufaula proposes to gather it in. It's am- bition is fully justified by the facts of the case, and the people of the Alabama side of the river should take pride in assisting Eufaula to win as against Georgia town, which they cannot reach except by rail four months in the year.
 Eufaula's chief ambition consists in es- tablishing houses that can supply the wants of the planters and receive in return cotton and other products. But Eufaula should not call for outside help. Organize one or more commercial companies, trading corporations. There are Eufaula people who will take stock in such companies if the best men in the town will participate in their management. The strongest whole sale concerns in nearly all cities are cor porations. Let Eufaula organize two such corporations. Outside capital should neiher be solicited nor accepted It is too good an opportunity to divide out In the words of the Times, "the river business must be done from Eufaula."' So far, so good. Now, take another step by giving Columbus dealers something to encounter. Organize, and drve Columbus out of the Alabama side of the river, and threaten to do a business even on the Georgia side up to Eufaula- Take advantage of the condition of the river four months in the year. The Age Herald wholly agrees with the Times when it says: "The river business must be done from Eufaula;" but the way to do it is to do it. Begin to organize and push out at once. It is none too early for making preparations for the Fall trade Eufaula can win the river trade, if 1t will do as Americus has done-organize com pany to do 1t. or rather to begin it. The Americus Grocery company has capital of s100, ,00O, and in the eight years of it's ex- istence it has diveded among its stock holders $S400O. Last year was a hard year. but it earned over per cent. and actually paid an per cent. dividend.
