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

In behalf of cycling an athlete of
much experience has the following to
say:
Rowing tells on the breathing or
gaEs, 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, it is the heart and cir
cuiation 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, if we'll selected and proportional,
do promote muscular development and
physical grace and vigor, they are easily
carried to an extreme, and instances
are not rare where they have broken
3own the constitution instead of build
ing it 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 a chest fixed and CONSTRUCTED by
muscular effort.
st is the avoidance of all this and
the constant change of scene, air, sun
shine and motion that has given cyclin 6
the undisputed premier position as a
pastime and an exercise that it now &C.

CHAPTER Xxx.
sILvER's EMBASSY.

Sure enough, there were two men
just outside the stockade, one of them
waving a white cloth; the other, no less
a person than Silver himself, standing
placidly by.
1t was still quite early and the cold
est morning that 1 think 1 ever was
abroad in; chill that pierced into the
marrow. The sky was bright and cloud
less overhead, and the tops of the trees
shone rosily in the sun. utwhere Sill
yer stood with his lieutenant all was
still in shadow. and they waded knee
deep in low white vapor, that had
crawled during the night out of the
morass. The chill and vapor taken to-
gether told poor tale of the island. It
was plainly damp, feverish. unhealthy

Danger In Century Runs.

Beware of the century rum" This
is the advice of an eminent army ply
stefan. He cites the fact that among
the national guard who enlisted from
New York state were many well-known
bicycle riders, and that when they were
subjected to medical examination at
camp more than a dozen of the most
expert riders were rejected because
their heart action was not healthful.

sudden decline of well-known society

MAN FOR THE PLACE.
Construction of Military
Roads I'm Cuba

There is scarcely a wheelman in the
country who has not heard of Gen. Roy
Stone, the head of the road building bu-
reau of the department of agriculture.
For years he has been actively en-
gagged in the government highway i'm
provement service and has issued many
books and pamphlets dealing with the
subject from an expert standpoint. He
has always considered the League of
American Wheelmen his most valuable
support in the work in which he is en-
gagged and has graced the meetings OF
that organization on frequent occasions
with his presence. 1t will be pleasing
for wheelmen to know that Gen. Stone
is to take an active part in the war
and in direct line with his present du-
ties. He has been detailed with the
army which will invade Cuba to take
charge of the building of the roads that
will be necessary for the proper trans
portat ton of our troops, and N that
capacity will have entire charge of the
machinery and labor. No better man
for the work could be found, as he has
given the subject his life study, and
whether the roads built are temporary
or permanent the government can have
the fullest confidence in him to con-
struct them according to requirement,

hustle and the sound of voices.

cry of surprise: 'Silver HIMSELF"
And at that I jumped up, and, rub

VALUABLE INVENTION.
CsinE Hydraulic Pressure to Fasten
Joints In Bicycle Frames, In
stead of BFazing.

The customary way to secure one
tube of a bicycle frame to another to-
day is to have at the joints tubular
angle-piece, called a fitting" with an
inside diameter slightly larger than that
of the tubes to be joined. Then the
latter are fastened to 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 it. These may be of any shape,
but the approved way is TO make q
coarse, shallow screw thread; two
threads in fact, one being right-handed
and the other left-handed. These

leg up, and with great vigor and skill,

The MAN IN The CAB.

Safe and snug in the sleeping car
Are father and mother and dreaming

For the storm IS thick and the wind is
wild
The frenzied train in It's ail-night race
Holds many a soul in its fragile walls,
While UP in his cab. with a smoked-stained
face,
Is the man in the greasy overails-
Through the fire-box door the heat CLOVIS
white,
The steam is kissing at all the cocks;
The Estons dance and the drive-wheels
smite
The trembling rails till the whole earth
rocks,
But never a searching eye could trace
Though the night is black and the speed
appals-
"A line of fear in the smoke-stained face
OF the man in the greasy overal1s.
No hating, wavering coward he,
AS he lashes his engine around the curve,
But a peace-encompassed Grant or Lee,
With a heart of oak and an iron nerve.
And so ask that you make a place
In the Temple to Heroes sacred halls
Where ] may hang the smoke-stained
faced
OF the man In the greasy overa1ls.

their purpose. The tube which is to
be fastened is slipped into place, and
water, under great pressure, is forced
into the tube. This operation expands
that portion of the tube just under the

tons per square inch, and is applied
with hydraulic apparatus. While the
work is being done, the tubs is inclosed

copper wires. a commanding officer
desiring to talk with another officer
on the field sends the signal man on
his bicycle. As the bicycle moves over
the ground the wire is reeled off. At
the end of the run the signal man dis

Future of the Chasnie...

There is little doubt that the chain
less will supersede the chain wheel, but
not until the price is within the compass
of an ordinary pocket. The chain is
the most important part of the wheel,
and it is the most bothersome. If it is
too tight, or too loose, or too weak, or
does not wear evenly, there is constant
trouble, and the cleaning Of the chain
is an annoyance. To get rid OF the chain
is a distinct boon, but when the cost
is $50 to SIS most people pause and
think il over. Of course, the chainiess
costs more 70 make, and the makers are
justified in getting as much as they can,
but people cannot afford it.-Golden

ALMOST SECOND NATURE.
Cyclists UncOnsciOusIy Follow Rules
of the Road When Walking.
[To BE Continued

Cyclists Unconsciously Follow Rules
of the Road When Walking.
You can tell bicycle rider by his
walk. Not because of a popularity of
gait, but for the reason that he uncon-
sciously follows the rules of the road
that he has learned while riding a BIZ
cycle.
On the sidewalks of the crowded
streets of New York and Brooklyn
gentleman. whose acquaintance among
bicycle riders is quite extensive has,
as matter of curiosity. watched his
cycling friends walking to and from
business. Almost without exception
they pass to the right when meeting
other pedestrians, and to the left when
passing 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 anu Snarp elbows.
There is nothing more annoying to
the participants and nothing more
laughable 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 in the
wrong direction.
The bicycle is uneonsciously teaching
people how best to keep out of each
others way. Anyone who does not
think the result is sure to be beneficial
ought to attempt to stem a crowd
coming from theater or crossing the
bridge at rush hours. There will be
no polish left on the rash individuals
shoes, there will be mud stains on his
garments. and feeling of deep. bit
ter resentment against all mankind in
his bosom.-N. Y. Journal.
