Offers to cyclists some new features that are as
pleasant as they are surprising. The idea of
two persons riding side by side on two wheels
is decidedly novel, and yet is thoroughly prac-
tcal. 1t gives two friends the opportunity to
ride as in buggy, with the added exhilaration
of bicycle riding.
Both persons occupy a front position and
nothing obStructS the view of either
One-half the pleasure of a cycle ride is the
company of friend. The Companion Bicycle
furnishes the opportunity for having that friend
by your side where a conversation can be car
red on in ordinary tone of voice without any
effort.
This wheel is destined to revoIutionize
double riding and it will create riders where no
other bicycle can. Note the illustration and
the principle features.

THOSE MORRO CASTLES.
How There Happened to BE So Many
of Them in Cuba.
From the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Readers of war news must be struck by
the number of MORO Castles with which
our forces have TO deal. Havanas fort of
that name Is the best known building in
Cuba. When Admiral Sampson went down
to Porto Rico to shake up the Spanlards
there the principal fertilization he had to
deal with was another MORO castle. And
now comes word of an attack by Ameri-
can warships on a third MORO castle at
Santiago de Cuba, the most important
port in the southeastern part of the island.
Some readers have probably wondered
how it happened that no such castles were
encountered at Matanzas, Cardenas and
Cienfuegos.
The explanation of this recurrence of the
name "Morro Castle is found in the fact
that the word MORO" means "promon-
tory" Many of the harbors of Cuba are
remarkable iandlocked bays opening TO
the sea through narrow channels, usually
long and deep. They are shaped somewhat
like a mans hand, with the fingers more
or less spread and ihe wrist reduced in
size. At Havana, Santiago and some other
ports one side of the channel connecting
the inner bay with the sea ends in bold
rocky headland. The opposite point is
lower and less conspicuous. Where the
higher and sleeper angle of the shore, be-
tween the channel of the harbor entrance
on one side and the open sea on the other
is crowned by an elaborate fort, fornid-
able in the times when 1t was erected. this
fertilization is usually and naturally
named MORO Castle, or The Castle of the
Promontory."
At Cienfuegos there Is no such fort. AL
though the harbor is one OF the tvpIca #
bays of the Cuban coast, with mario "
entrance. One reason is that the CITY Is
comparatively new, and IL has become n
place of importance since the era whom
Spain fortified her American Possessions
with the massive and picturesque stone
castles which modern artillery has rem
dered nearly useless. Besides. the shores
are much lower there than at Santiago
or even Havana. San Juan, the chief civ
Of Porto Rico, has plenty of room for a
Castle Of the Promontory." and it was
natural that there should be MORO
Castle" to fight al that port Matanzaa
and Cardenas are on rather low parts Of
the coast, and the latter is a small place
So they have no MORO Castle"
This explanation is sufficient 10 show
why the name made familiar BY Havana,s
picturesque old fort is appearing conHnu-
ally Ia the dispatches, and why 1t is nee
essary 70 discriminate between the various
MORO Castles" which figure in the news
of the day.
