shoes Must Creak in Burma.

The march of civilization in Burma
is full of interest and amusement, even
to the most casual observer. Young
Burma cannot now go forth as his ia
Their did, in loose but comfortable san
dies; he must have fancy colored socks,
held in rigid order by fancy garters
worn about the swell of the calf, while
Cromwellian shoes with large steel
buckles have caught on famously. A
young student who purchased his first
pair on Saturday wore them to
church on Sunday, but took them back
to the store on Monday. to be changed
because they did not creak!

HENRY FOURNIER AND HIS TRICYCLE..
Fournier is in deadly earnest in his
determination to attain speed of for
ty-five miles an hour. To see him on
one of his test trips is a sight never to
be forgotten. He flies along with
bullying eyes fixed on the ground over
which he is flying, hair streaming in
the wind and the putting motor work.
ing at such a speed as to make one
tremble to think of the fate of the
rider should any untoward accident
cause spill. He seems to know no fear
when going like the wind on these
risky trips. By constant practice he
has become an expert in the manipu-
lation of the petroleum tricycle., and
will turn curve while going at a
dizzy speed of forty-fiye miles an hour
with all the recklessness of boy.
His performance suggests the grave
danger that would accompany trips
such as his on a road where similar
machines are dashing along. Fourier
alone on level, smooth road, with no
one to kill but himself, and no machine
to smash but his own, is sight suffi-
GENTLY thrilling. Multiply the sight
by ten, and imagine that number of
Fourniers mounted on flying automatic
tricycles, and the spectator cannot help
thinking that this would make a novel
and sure method of committing suicide.

A SPEEDY TRICYCLE..
HENRY FoURNIER HAS SUCCEEDED IN
MAKING as MILES AN HOUR.

The Machine is Light, Easy to Manage and
Powerful, But the Speed L. Dangerous
and No One Else Cares to Try It-Future
improvements.
Like the question of reducing to
three days the time it takes to cross
the Atlantic, the increase of the bicy-
cle's speed to a point where the rider
can travel as speedily and as safely as
on railroad train, is one of the things
that seems bound to be attained. 1t is
as surely coming achievement that
awaits us in the future as is the per-
fecting of the machinery of the ocean
greyhound so that the present speed Of
the marine flyers can be doubled In
the days when bicycles run at speed
of forty-five miles an hour clear track
will be absolutely necessary, so that
with locomotive engine pace will have
to come a special track for the wheel
men, a desirable Improvement that will
be welcomed by all lovers of the wheel.
The attainment of the speed named by
the bicycle seems to be in the hands
of Henri Fourier. who has become
known as the king of automobilists.
What Fourier does not know about
the petroleum tricycle. may as well be
omitted from the wheelman's educa
ton.
At present he uses the petroleum tri-
cycle of the Dion outon kind, with a
III horse power machine, averaging
forty kilometres an hour. The machine
is comparatively light, easy of manip-
ulation and powerful. 1t is fitted with
a motor of from one to three horse
power, its hill climbing and speed ca
liabilities being gagged thereby.
