ALMOST SECOND NATURE.
Cyclists Unconsciously Follow the Rules oI
 the Road When Walking,

Cyclists Unconsciously Follow the Rules of
 the Road When Walking,
 You can tell bicycle rider by his walk. Not because of a peculiarity of gait, but for the reason that he uncon- sciously follows the rules of the road that he has learned while riding a bi- cycle.
 On the sidewalks of the crowded streets of New York and Brooklyn 1 gentleman whose acquaintance among bicycle riders is quite extensive has, as a matter of curiosity, watched his cy- cling friends walking to and from busl- ness. Almost without exception they pass to the right when meeting other pedestrians and to the left when pass ing them from behind When turning corner, the pedestrian who has learned to cycle hugs the wall closely if going to the right and is almost sure to make long turn if bound to the left
 If all pedestrians would observe the rules of the road on the sidewalks as well as the experienced cyclists observe them on the highways, there would be fewer toes trampled upon and fewer persons nudged in the ribs by protrud- ing and sharp elbows.
 There is nothing more annoying to the participants and nothing more Imaginable to the spectator than to see two persons dancing up and down and taking a series of side steps because both started to pass each other ill the wrong direction.
 The bicycle is unconsciously teach ing people how best to keep out of each others way. Any one who does not think the result is sure to be beneficial ought to attempt to stem a crowd com ing from 6 theater or crossing the bridge at rush hours. There will be no polish left on the rash individual s shoes, there will be mud stains on his garments, and feeling of deep, bitter resentment against all mankind in his bosom.

Colonial Well Discoyere

While making an excavation for an electric light conduit in Independence square lately the workmen uncovered an old well, which proved to be in an excellent state of preservation. An examination of 1t later demonstrated the fact that is 9 feet deep and 3h feet in diameter. The walls are strong ly constructed of handmade brick, not one of which is out of place, and the cement used shows no signs of disin- tegration. When the work on old h. dependence hall was begun in 1722 four of these wells were sunk in the square, and at first were equipped with the oldfashiOned chain and bucket op- erated on a windlaSS, but later on they were walled up and pumps put into them, and 1t was from these, especial. ly the one lately uncovered, that the continental congress took it's drinks be tween the acts.
 The well is located about twelve feet In front of the main entrance of Inde- pendence hall into the square, and for merly two watch towers stood on each side. One of these is now in the pos session of c. J. Smith of Germantown, and there Is in the city, if not the pump used In this well in colonial days, one of the same pattern. The un- earthing of this old well, which has been arched over perhaps seventy five years and forgotten, has led the city authorities to the determination to give
 
 bling its former state as may he pos Slble. It is true the Indians will not be recalled to sit around 1t and smoke the pipe of peace as of yore, but It will be cleaned md morr'- slab ntu D..
