RIGHTS OF WHEELMEN.
Bicycles Have as Many Privileges IN
the Public Highway Other
Wheeled Vehicles.

An example should be made of some
of the teamsters who insist upon dis
regarding the rights of wheel riders in
the public streets.
Many drivers of teams take especial
delight, apparently. in occupying as
much of the paved streets as possible.
They do that particularly on streets
where there are railway tracks. Driv-
ers of heavily loaded trucks and
wagons insist upon getting in the mid
die of the space between the curb and
the railway tracks, and Will turn
neither to the right nor the left to let
| wheel rider pass, when they could
easily make room without inconven-
fence to themselves.
Perhaps the drivers are not aware
of the fact that law was passed at
the recent session of the legislature
which provides that wheel riders shall
have the right of way in the cutters of
all roadways, and making it a INSIDE
meanor for any driver of team to re-
fuse or neglect to turn out when noti-
| fed to do so by signal from wheel
riders bell.
1t is pure meanness which prompts
drivers of teams to obstruct the way
of wheel riders, and if the police would
arrest few of them good example
might be set. Bicycles have just as
many rights in the public highways as
have other wheeled vehicles, and, mas
much as wheel riders are forbidden to
use the sidewalks, an effort should be
made to save the portion of the streets
to which they are entitled from I'M
necessary obstruction. = Cleveland

year later he was transferred 80 the
Brooklyn. and was at the lombard
ment and passage of Forts Jackson
and ST. Philip. Chalmette batteries and
the capture of New Orleans. He was
also in the attack on Vicksburg, in
June, 1862.
On September s, 1868. he was pro-
noted to ensign, and on February %,
1864, was commissioned as lieutenant,
when he was ordered to the steam war
ship Susquehanna in the North At
lantic blockading squadron. On this
vessel he was at the bombardment Of
Fort Fisher, III December, 1864, and
was one of the leaders of the assault
ing party at the capture of that fort
in January, 1865, when his conduct ex-
cited favorable comment. He was
promoted to lieutenant commander on
July rs, 1866, and continued on sea
duty until early in 1867, when he was
ordered to the naval academy as one
of the instructors. In 1869 he went on
special cruise on the frigate Sabine.
after which he was ordered to the
Tehuantepec and Nicaragua surveying
expedition, upon which he served near
ly two years. Following this he was
Z
detailed to special duty in the ord
nance department, Boston, Mass;
photographic Office, Washington. and
bureau of equipment at Washington;
later he was in charge of the hydro
graphic bureau from 1882 to 1888; COM
manded the coast survey steamer
Blake for nearly three years-from
1879 to 1882; commanded the Marion
from April, 1891, to December, 1892,
and was on special duty from then I'M
til May, 1893, when he was ordered to
the command of the Atlantic. His pro-
motion to commander was on April 25,
1877. and to captain July 1, 1892. He
was put on the retired list on July IL,
1897. In general appearance and car
riage he resembles Admirals Ramsey

classed as 'born military man and

SCREENING ON PEDALS.
Itself Is Again Coming Up
for Discussion.

The question how pedals should be
screwed into cranks is being discussed
on the other side, and much the same
arguments are being used that were
used here in similar discussion some
time ago. 1t is curious how intelli-
gent, practical and experienced men
differ on this subject, and how various
are the explanations of those whose
opinions do coincide. After every
thing is said, however, one fact re-
mains, and that is that the right side
pedal pin must have a right-hand
thread and the left side pedal pin a
left-hand thread. In other words, If is
necessary to have both pedal pins
screw towards the front of the ma
chine as they are put into the cranks.
Experience has proved conclusively
that. with a good fit, pedals put on
this way need to be screwed up but
moderately tight, while pedals
screwed on the reverse way Coward

MICE RUN THIS WHEEL

fits over the wheel and the place of it's
floor is taken by section of tire. Two
mice are put into the cage; their ten
dency to explore things takes them
down into the extension. The weight
of the mouse starts the wheel reyolv-
ing, and the mouse tries to run back to
the hole. But the faster he runs the
quicker the tire spins. Usually both
mice get on the tire. and their race
for liberty is interesting, to say the
least.
Occasionally the tail of the rear
most mouse becomes wedged between
the wire netting and the tire, acting
as brake, which brings the wheelto a
standstill. Then the other mouse is
enabled to get back to the cage, but
the one that's held fast by his tail
must remain so until released by hu-

OUR COLONIAL EMPIRE
Some Of the Islands Which VIII Be Ours
when the Treaty of Peace Has Been Signed.

Even among annexationists of the
most pronounced type there is some
question about our permanent occupa-
ton of the Philippines with their mot
ley and semi-barbarous population of
1000, 900 people. From commercial
point of view the islands might be de-
veloped into a valuable colony. in the
course of half a century. but they would
for generations be a disturbing factor
politically. Millions of the Filipinos,
as they are called are savages, worse III
every respect than the North American
Indians. They are mixed race, with
the vices of the Polynesians and Chi

any direct revenue from the islands,

the revenues from all sources.

different. They are inhabited by slow

BELLS AND LAMPS.
Why No BicycIist should object te
Ordinances Making Their En-
ployment Obligatory.

The press, bicycle riders and gen
eral public should strongly advocate
the passage of ordinances requiring
the use of bicycle lamps in all commu-
mites While bicyclists have some
times objected to the passing of or
dinances compelling them to carry
lighted lamps at night, yet it is fact
that after such ordinances become
law, and the riders experience the
great advantages accruing and the
largely increased safety, they would
not be willing to do without either the
lamps or the law. Bicyclists and driv-
ers having proper regard for their
own safety and that of others, will
never be on dark roads without a
light. 1t gives a warning of approach
as nothing else can, and a broad, we'll
reflected light enables the rider to
avoid all obstacles and bad places in
the road.
1t is not enough that the law should
be respected, when it requires the use
of lighted lamps at night, but for the
personal safety of every rider he
should protect himself from the prob
ability of accident by giving an IL
Illuminated warning of his approach in
the dark. In those cities where bicy-
Gle lamp ordinances have not been
brought into effect, the city fathers
are Sinking their duty to mankind
and this paper will welcome the day
on which lamps become a legally
necessary part of the nocturnal cy-
clist's equipment.
Bells, too, should be required

A GRATIFYING SHOWING.
| Latest Report Shows That Practically
All the States Have Supplied
Their Qaots OF Troops.

The war department. feels that it
has reason to be gratified with the
results obtained under the first and
second calls for troops by the presi-
dent. The statement just issued shows
that practically all the states have
supplied the quotas called for in these
two calls. 1t is explained that the dis
crepancy between this statement and
the one published week ago, which
caused so much criticism and put sew
eral states, including Massachusetts,,
Nebraska and North Carolina, in the
unenviable condition of having con-
tributed only small number of the
troops called for. was caused by the
fact that owing to failures to make
prompt reports these states appeared
to be def7cient.

out work, anu that accounts for the
proverbial Incidence of the natives
Another Pacific group belonging to
Spain which may be ours before long
are the Carolines. with an area of $50
square miles and a population of 40 900
souls. The Carolines are divided into
three groups, the eastern, western and
central. Spain originally claimed all,
but few years ago Germany grabbed
the Marshall islands, and has held them
ever since. The central, or main group,
which still belongs to Spain, comprises
4S smaller groups, or a total of 400 or
500 islands. Among the products of the
Carolines are rice, corn, wheat, sugar,
cotton, tobacco, indigo, bread fruit,
castor oil and other valuable export ar
ticles. The natives are particularly
thrifty; the women being neat and at
tractive and highly virtuous and the
men industrious and ingenious. a
change in the government of the
islands, which guarantees property
rights and assures just methods of tax
alton, would be welcomed by the gen
tie natives, who have, like the Cubans
and Filipinos, suffered for many dec
AIDES from Spanish tyranny and extor-
ton.
In the course of time the Carolines
are destined to become popular win
ter resort for American tourists, be-
cause perfect climate and the rarest
scenery in the world combine to make
them an earthly paradise. Among the
curious natural features of the group
are palm trees which produce vegetable
ivory. and banyan trees that grow
downward, the seeds being planted by
birds high up in other trees, deposited
in bark and creyices, sending down
rootlets to gather sustenance and mois-
ture from the soil. Another tree bears
fruit so offensive in odor that no
stranger can endure it, but once in .
mouth its fruit is simply delicious.

it lies in the track of vessels sailing
between Hawaii, China and Japan, and
almost within hailing distance of Ma

portion of the sprocket chain passes
