ORIGIN OF THE BICYCLE
The Wheel May Be Traced Back to the
Seventeenth Century.

From ST. Nicholas.
It has often been said that ''tO trace
the origin of the bicycle we must g.
back to the beginning of the century,
and. as this has not been denied, it ii
probably true. I shall try to show
that the bicycle grew from expert
ments in the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, and that the "celcrifere, ,
first invented in 1890, was the earlies,
form of the safety of today. The
fret attempts to ride wheels date back
the machines then made were
crud, clumsy and imperfect, yet they
deserve mention, for they were a dis
tinct step in the history of the wheel
The first of these was heavy carriage
driven by means of ropes attached to
aud wound round its axletree. To
the other end of the rope q pole was
tied, and this pole was used as lever
in front of the vehicle, and by this
means it was slowly drawn forward
Little was done in the century fol-
lowing, yet in the Memories of Henry
Fetherstone" it is said that q Jesuit
missionary named R'cius, who was
travelling down the Gauges, having mis-
sed boat that Piled at regular inter
walls between points he was to visit in
his journey, made up for lost time by
building q small carriage propelled by
levers. Because SO few details are told .
the truth of the authors account has
been doubted or discredited by many.
In one of England's older churche s-
St. Giles, at Stoke Pogis-is window
of stained glass on which may be seen
q cherub astride of hobby horse or
wooden "wheel." At the sides, in Sc
parste panels, as if to fix the date of
the design, stand two young men attir-
ed in Puritan dress, one playing the
violin; the other, with hands in his
pockets, smoking pipe. VAST from
this design that the first thought of
the hobbyhorse of other days was
taken?
Before the Royal Academy of Scien-
ces, In 1893, Ozauam read q paper
q vehicle driven by the ped
aling of footman, who stood in q box
behind and rested his hands on bar,
level with his chin, attached to the
back on an awning above the rider in
the conveyance. This may prove that
Fetherstone's account was not untrue.
Ozanam's vehicle was followed by an
other built on a somewhat similar
plan, by an Euglishman named Oven
den about 1851, for q description of q
mach inc then appeared in the Univer-
sal Magazine. The vehicle was sa d
to be "the best that has hitherto been
invented" The distance covered with
ease" by this rude vehicle is stated to
