THE BEST EXERCISE.
Why Cycling Has Won the Undis-
puted Premier Position as an
Exhiiarating Pastime.

In behalf OF cycling an athlete of
much experience has the following to
say:
Rowing tells on the breathing or
gans, the work on dumbbells and other
exercises where muscles the moved
without progression Of the body tell
most on the muscles themselves, and
long pedestrian feats without climbing
tell on the nervous system. In cycling,
as in running, 1t is the heart and cir
culation that first give demonstrative
evidence OF important change OF ac-
ton.
Modern gymnastics have been large
ly shaped with reference to military
purposes. and, while gymnastic exer-
cises, II well selected and proportioned.
do promote muscular development and
physical grace and vigor, they are easily
carried 10 an extreme, and instances
are not rare where they have broken
down the constitution instead of build
ing il up.
''Feats OF gymnastic skill train the
nerve centers more than the muscles,
and once the trick is acquired their
value as exercise is slight. Feats of
strength often put an injurious strain
upon the organism with no correspond
ing benefit.
The arm appears to be the object of
all the exercises OF modern gymnastics;
breasting and other movements which
throw the suspension of support Of the
body upon the arms and shoulders give
them unsuitable work and result in
disproportionate development Of the
muscles of the shoulder girdle, often
associated with a rounding back, and
little or no increased power in ventila-
ton, since all such feats are performed
with chest fixed and CONSTRUCTED by
muscular effort.
at is the avoidance Of all this and
the constant change of scene, air, sun
shine and motion that has given cycling
the undisputed premier position as a
pastime and an exercise that IL now oc-
cupies."

VALUABLE INVENTION.
Joints In bicycle Frames, In
stead of Braxing.

The customary way to secure one
tube of bicycle frame to another to-
day is to have at the joints tubular
angle-piece, called fitting" with an
inside diameter slightly larger than that
of the tubes to be joined. Then the
latter are fastened 10 the fitting by
brazing. A new system OF connection
has come into favor recently in Eng
land, and Is now being tried In this
country. 1T is covered by patents.
Whenever "a joint is to be made, the
inner surface of the fitting has creases
cut in 1t. These may be of any shape,
but the approved way is to make a
coarse, shallow screw thread; two
threads in fact, one being right-handed
and the other left-handed. These

spring striker arm. The arm is rigidly
connected at one end to short shaft

front bicycle wheel. A slight pressure
OF the thumb brings the bell into action
by raising the entire bell and, conse-
quently, the small wheel against the

wheel TO rotate, working the striker
arm and causing the clapper to strike
upon the four surfaces OF the pyramidi-

grooves are not deep enough to weak

their purpose. The tube which is to
be fastened Is slipped into place, and

that portion Of the tube just under the
creases, and thrusts IL into the recess.
The tubs Is thus locked TO the fitting

tons per square inch, and is applied
with hydraulic apparatus. While the
work is being done, the tubs is inclosed
in such way as to prevent the expan-

possible. The metal that IN stretched

HOW VICTORIA AveRTED WAR.
Famous Incident of the Rebellion RE-
lated Anew.

lated Anew.
During the American civil war two
ENJOYS of the confederate states,
Messrs. Mason and Slidell, were seized
on board an English ship. This insult
to the British flag could not be passed
over. and disastrous war between Eng.
land and the northern states of the
American union seemed inevitable. The
prince consort was at that time sink
ing under his fatal illness, but not
withstanding the anxiety Of the queen
on his account, her mind was unceas-
ingly active TO devise means of prevent
ing war. We are in position 20 state
on the authority OF one of the most
prominent statesmen of our time and
one who had the honor of enjoying in
special manner the confidence of her
majesty, that il was the queen herself,
in opposition TO the views of her min.
listers and of the distinguished man in
question among them, who averted the
war. She insisted that the dispatch
which was sent TO America demanding
peremptorily the surreader of the en-
voys should be communicated al once TO
all the powers and the grave conse-
quences of the conflict from an interna-
tional point of view pointed out
The result was an able state paper
sent to Washington by Mr.. Thouvenel.
in which he stated that France regarded
the act of the American captain who
had arrested the confederate ENJOYS on
board an English ship as quite unjusti-
fable and expressed the hope that the
federal government would accede TO the
demands of Great Britain. Austria and
Prussia Immediately followed suit, and
Prince Gortschakoff. on the part OF Rus
STA, urged President Lincoln TO sur
render the ENJOYS without delay and
with such an explanation as would sat
isfy English national feeling. These re-
monstrances from the powers enabled
the government of Washington to es-
cape without humiliation from an un-
tenable position and saved England
from entering into n war which would
in all human probability have ended
