Bowden and the principle Of which may
be understood by a reference to the ac-
companying figure. If we take a tlexible
wire it will be impossible to transmit
the least stress between its two en-
tremites. but If we juxtapose two fiex-
ible wires and make them inter,lepend-
cnt here and there we shall be able
upon giving motion to one of the ex-
tremties 10 transmit the same TO the
other, despite the hexibili,y Of the
wires and the fact that they are free
and floating in space.
In practice it is preferable that one
Of the wires shalt be inextensible and
the other incompressible, and the
best results will be obtained in nrrang-
ing the two wires concentrically. ID
this effect the external wire is wound
in juxtaposed spirals and the inexten-
sible one is arranged in the interior
of the tube formed by the spiral of the
external wire. The interior wire then
works within the tube, the two eXtremi-
ties of which are carefully fixed. The
tension exerte1 upon the internal wire
is thus freely transmitted, even when
the external wire is left floating or
| even when loop is formed in II. II
Is thus possible to exert an action TO n
/ distance by fixing the double wire per-
manently in place like the wire of an
electric bell.

A MUSICAL BICYCLE.
Novel and Highly Interesting lnvcn-
tiOn introduced with Great Sue
cess In Germany.

The bicycle has reached another
phase of its constant development
through novel and highly interesting
invention, consisting in o musical in
strument which may be attached to any
bicycle and plays popular airs. without
the aid of the rider, in loud and
melodious manner, when the machine
is in motion. This instrument consti-
tutes an entertaining companion for
the bicyclist on his roamings, which are
frequently rather lonely; IL is 80 much
more welcome as it will be a companion
entirely submissive to the riders
wishes. II has been invented, patented
and placed upon the market by firm
in Hamburg, and is fittingly called
"troubadour," after the wandering
musicians Of the middle ages. We bad
occasion recently TO attend trial ride
in the Hamburg Geological garden with
this new musical instrument ard
cheerfully confirm the excellent effect
produced. The director Of the concern
had the cycles provided with the new
iuusicdi opP"iut"o PuSS uSAo'S o' 80
den by employees, and we heard loud
sounding, well-timed music, after the
style OF the "herophone." This novelty
is sure Of great popularity among
cyclists. II will also be beneficial In a
hygienic respect, as excessively fast rid
ing win be prevented. AZ a matter OF
fnct, the music only sounds well when
the rider does not exceed velocity OF
IS kilometers (0.3 niles) per hour. We
will add that in future sort OF orches-
ira band may be formed for the popular
cycle parades by means OF these instru-
ments tuned to the time. KS Is well
known, the music has been the most DIFF
ficult part Of these parades. - Echo
