The majority of cyclists do not realize
when out for spin what power they
are eXerting, or against what resist
ance they are making headway. Ac-
cording to a well known professor of
a prominent university, the wind resist
ance at a speed of fifteen miles an
hour amounts to 200 foot pounds
minute, and the strength exerted to
propel a bicycle is $500 foot pounds
minute. AT speed Of twenty-five miles
an hour the wind resistance alone
amounts to 10000 foot pounds a min
ute and the strength exerted to propel
the machine and overcome the force
of wind represents 13,4O0 foot pounds
a minute.

From Wheeling on the Simplon,
Elizabeth ROOMS Pennell: Napoleon's
cIeverness seemed nothing to mine
when l put my feet on the rests
and coasted down the road he had hung
in midair. And there was no question
of my courage. The occasional memoir
ial cross on the Simplon, put up TO mark
the spot, perhaps, where the traveller
had been lost in the snow or pitched
over the precipice, was an eloquent
reminder that the danger was not at all
imaginary. But the pneumatic was
pumped up tight, and l held the front
brake by means Of an ingenious and
simple device with leather strap that
left some power and feeling in my
right hand and arm. For kilometers,
with only occasional intervals of back
pedaling, l coasted after J.-too far
after, he Shutdown the side of the
mountain; down the long zig-zags,
where the driver Of the diligence, with
unexpected courtesy, gave me the in
ner, which was the wrong side of the
road, but then he was an Italian;
through the Ravine of Condo, with wa
terfalls booming above and the stream
laundering below, and the road cross
ing and crossing again over airy
bridges and clinging to the side of the
precipice and driving into dark tun-
nels, and taking sharp turns around the
walls of rocks, just where carriages
were creeping up; to the Swiss frontier,
where the customs officer forced back
our money upon US. We wanted to
wait until we left Switzerland for good
and all. But he said, and as Swiss
he must have known, we had better
take it when we could get it. And I
coasted down through the pines, down
through the chestnuts, into land of
vineyards and tropical heat, when
little more than an hour before l had
been shivering.
An experienced rider says that in his
opinion hill climbing affords the best
practical test of the qualities of a BIZ
cycle. Coasting contests, while showing
up the bearings well, do not cover
other vital parts.
w. C. George, the we'll known Eng
lish runner, has given his opinion on
cycling. He has been a cyclist for more
than twenty-five years, and despite the
fact that cycling is not always bene-
fetal to man as runner, he has al
ways been most enthusiastic in its
cause. The racing cyclist, he says, has
the best Of it, for although cyclists do
not make good runners, good runners
often make speedy cyclists. When in
training for a running race Mr.. George
puts his bicycle aside for time, al
though he declares he is glad enough
when the time comes for him to take
it in use again.

Lawyer Clnrk Sentenced.

Hutchinson, Kan, October 4.--Law-
yer +, c, Clark was sentenced here
late Saturday night to five years
hard labor in the penitentiary. lie
was brought before Judge Simpson
at about 4 o'clock in the evening and
motion for a new trial was argued
until late into the night,
The attorneys here consider the
Clark trial one Of the most remark
able criminal cases ever tried in the
state. First, from the mytsery sur
rounding the murder OF w. G. Boyd,
Mrs, Postlethwait's confession OF the
crime, her sons statement later that
he did the killing, and charging Law
yer Clark with being an accessory,
and, second, from the number OF new
and undecided points of law which
have come up in the trial. There
were several points Of law passed
upon by Judge Simpson in this case
which have never been before the SUI
preme court Of Kansas, and which
will be passed upon for the first time
when Clark's case is appealed to the
supreme court. Before receiving his
sentence Clark made q long speech
to the Judge. 1t was striking scene,
the gray-haired lawyer pleading for
leniency from the judge before whom
he had been practicing as an attor-
ney short time before. The verdict
against Clark was guilty OF MAN.
slaughter in the second degree, and
the sentence of five years is the high
est that could be given for that crime.
