The Winter Girl Awheel.

She has already made her app sar-
ance in more arctic ATTITUDES than New
York-the ice bicyclist. In Toron-
to there are several progressive
young women who use the bicycle
sleigh, as the latest invention in the
bicycling line is called.
1t glides as smoothly over the ice
and snow as the regular wheel does
over the aphalt roads. 1t is designed
for use in ice Kinks as well as in CHI
mates where a reasonable amount of
snow and ice may be counted upon the
winter through. Some adventurous spir-
Its are going to try it in the Klondike.
But for the ordinary damsel 1t is
enough to know that there is a new
wheel which run on skates, as it were
and which will permit her to wear.

The Growth of Steamships.

A writer in the Engineering Maya
zine says that during the last fifty
years the size of steamships has been
multiplied tw~enty-fold, the horse-pow-
er employed to drive them has been
multiplied forty-fold, and the speed
with which they traverse the sea has
Increased three-fold.

Persians and Watermelons.

The best overture to a wayside re-
past in Persia is a watermelon, not cut
in slices, as is done in this country,
but eaten like an egg, one end being
cut off and the contents eaten with a
wooden spoon, the roseate fluid trick
ling all the time to the bottom and
a%ffording a fragrant drink when the
first course is over.-Exchange.

course Of cycling, but acu'o'
congestive headaches are ln'"'
iably aggravated by cycling. "het0
headaches are due to poverty Oh the
blood or anemia, the anemic condltloh
must be treated with suitable RENE
dies before cycling is restored TO- "A
bilious headache is often cured by the
beneficial effects of cycling on the
functions o. the liver. Dryness or the
tongue with an unpleasant taste in the
mouth while cycling indicates nervous
exhaustion or temporary nerve de-
rangement, for which the remedy is
rest, and not beer. A question very
frequently asked is whether when de-
pressed or detected in spirits it is adj
visable to seek relief in cycling. Pro-
found depression of spirits is usually
aggravated by cycling, while mild at
tacks of mental depression due to slug
gishness of the liver or other slight
causes, disappear like magic before the
e~xhilarating influence of a spin.
A new style of pursuit racing has
been introduced in Europe. The idea
which originated with a racing man,
provides a fast and exciting contest.
The conditions are that a number Of
fast riders be placed around the track,
equal distances apart, and at the re-
port of the pistol each man must start,
with the object of o~verhaullng the rider
In front of him, who, when caught, re-
tires. There is a time limit, and the
rider covering the greatest distance in
that period, without being overhauled,
Is declared the victor.
! Century runs will not be as popular
this year, and within a very short time
they are expected to die out entirely.
Ordinary riders do not believe in them.
The task of riding 100 miles or so Is
not in the least enjoyable when runs
are made on schedule time. One has no
chance to enjoy a ride under such cir
cumstances, his only endeavor being
to keep up with the bunch. More pleas
ure Is to be derived from going out in
small parties, ~dismounting when and
where you please without regard to
time.
The bicycle Is used by many of the
officers in the English navy. 1t is stated
that there is scarcely a vessel, tor
pedo boat excepted, upon which at
least one bicycle cannot be found, and
the commanders are among the most
ardent wheelmen in the navy. 1t is a
strange sight, says the Daily Mail, in
commenting or this, to see the off
boat leaving the wal vessel directly it
touches anywhere, loaded with bicy-
Giles, and a marvel sometimes that the
whole lot are not capsized. Officers
who have one used the bicycle do not
like the idea of going to sea without
one, for it enables them, directly they
get ashore to ride away for miles and
thoroughly explore the country, where
as they would otherwise be confined to
the immediate neighborhood of the
port.

The demand of the American racing
men that the League of American
Wheelmen should take some steps to
provide for representation in the inter-
national championship races, which
will be held in France this year, is like
ly to come before the national assemb-
ly next month. At the annual meeting
of the league held last year G.. D. Gid
con, the retiring chairman of the rae
ing board, suggested that the league
take steps TO send riders over to the
championships. The suggestion receiv-
ed no attention, and America was n
of the few nations unrepresented in
the big races at Glasgow. There seems
a likelihood hat the question of
American representation at the worlds
championship races this year will re-
ceive serious consideration at the hands
of the league officials.
One of the changes of next season
will probably be the adjustment Of
team work on the track. During the
past eason several well-known riders
have resorted to this style of work
with success. In fact, the adoption Of
team work by one or two riders forced
the system on the push, for a man
stood little show without a team mate
to pull him through where the system
was used. 1t is TO- declared that the
referees will take action which will
stop team work. That is, where one
rider is in a race merely to help an
other rider, to pull him up to the front,
as a pacemaker, both men will be de-
barred from any prize.
The latest announcement in relation
to the production of chainless bicycles
comes from a w~ell-knoWn western
manufacturer who declares that he will
turn out high-grade wheels of this de-
scription at $50. AS the spring season
approaches it becomes clear that the
question of turning out chainless bicy-
cles has been widely considered, and
that all classes of riders will find
wheels and prices to suit their fancy
this year. 1t is not expected that the
demand for chainless bicycles will be
as great as some of the makers antici-
pate.
An English patent is likely to meet
with appreciation from the wheelmen.
1t consists of a device whereby a tire
is automatically inflated. The contriv-
ance consists of a hollow ball of stiff
rubber to which the ends on an inner
tube OF the tire are fastened. Valves
open from the ball into the air tube,
and a third valve projects through the
wood rim, opening into the ball. When
the ball is pressed down by the turn
of the wheel it ~injects air into the
tube, and when it passes from contact
with the ground it initiates itself with
another charge of air.

machine than when properly balanced
over the pedals is something of a de-
generate among wheelmen, but a de-
generate whose example is not likely
to be followed too extensively.
This eccentric rider is William
Shields. better known as RUDE" He
is a professional cyclist and a trick
rider, but he doesn't confine his per-
formances to indoor audiences.
Shields is doubtless the best aero
bat wheelman in this country. March
81, 1897, he rode down the steps of the
west front of the capitol building at
Washington. D. C. Dozens have rid
den down the east steps, but Shields
is the only wheelman who has success
fully made the descent of the west
flight, which has seventy-four steps
and three landings. He made the de-
scent in fifteen seconds and did not
touch one of the last sixteen steps. In
Cincinnati last July he electrified a
crowd of spectators by riding out of a
second story window on a ladder. The
crowd expected to see him dashed
senseless, If not dead, at it's foot. He
shot down the rungs, however, and
landed safely in the street.
