CLERICAL DANGERS.
Premier Meline Declares That France is
Not Controlled BY the Pope.

Paris, Jan. 21.-Durlng the debate in
the chamber of deputies today, on the
estimates of the department of public
worship, NJ. Berard denounced the dan
gers Of clericalism"
The premier, NJ. Meiine, declared there
was no ground for such fears. He de-
MED that the government was composed
Of clericals, or that It was under ponti-
fical direction, adding that the so-called
clerical peril was only put forward to
divert attention from the socialist and
revolutionary peril. Ex-Minister Goblet
then moved the separation Of church
and state, which was defeated by 309 to
1872.
Several members denounced the inter-
ference of Chief Rabbi Zadockahn in

acted improperly he could be deprived
of his salary.

either peer equipped with a brake or
a brake attachment provided for, and
this fact is significant of the increased
interest manifested In the use of
brakes. For several years past a brake
on q wheel has been the exception
rather than the rule, and many makers
have built their wheels without a
thought OF a brake, providing no
means for Its attachment. There have
been many riders. however. among
them some OF the Oldest In the sport,
who have always contended that the
brake was a necessity. The number
OF accidents constantly happening,
many OF them being fatal ones and
many or which could have been easily
avoided had the luckless rider had a
brake which he could control, have
served to confirm this opinion to such
an extent that the brake question is
once more OF paramount interest to
the bicycle makers. The Improvement
in brakes OF late has been as marked
as that OF the bicycle itself, and the
brakes being offered for the '9s trade
include several automatic arrange
J ments Of more than ordinary prac-
teal value. The advantage of o brake

with two-piece crank, detachable
sprockets, chain, tires, adjustable han

Simple Formula.

Any cycle rider in the least inquisl-
tive about the number of miles per
hour he Is making can ascertain in a
very simple manner by noting the
number of revolutions the pedal cranks
make in a given number of seconds.
The gear of the bicycle must also be
taken into consideration. For exam
pie, a rider on a wheel of &c gear goes
as many miles an hour as his pedal
cranks make evolutions in Ills Sec
onds. A table Of seconds and gears for
computing speed Is as follows:
Gear

act number of seconds is to place a

Many legends have been connected
with these weird, unsightly little crea-

a toad that dwells In the midst OF a
mountain range. and unless he Is pro-
pitiated by travellers. fings Ice and
avalanches down on those who pass In
the valleys. Toads have no teeth and
are d~isfigured by ugly warts, which
give out an acrid but not poisonous
Juice. The motions of their tongues
in catching unwary insects are as quick
as lightning, and they eat nothing that
is no In motion except their own
skins, which, when they cast of, they
roll up and swallow. The old magi-
clans used them freely in various ways
and German peasants still have q way
OF ''crucisying" toads which must be
caught OH Easter before sunrise: they
then bury them until Whit Sunday.
