but should they from any cause be ex-
posed the action of the pin teeth is such
that they are self cleaning, forcing mud
and dirt out from between the teeth.
One of the chief objections urged
against chainless wheels by mechanics
is that should the rear frame become
twisted or out of line, there would be
consequent binding of the mating gears.
The Monarch chainless is entirely free
from this objection inasmuch that the
junction of the pinions and gears form
a type of the ball and socket Joint,
thereby permitting free running under
the conditions usually met with in
bicycle riding. A particular advantage
which this gear has, and which gives il
the highest efficiency, is the direct lift
as against the end thrust which is com
mon to all bevel gearing. This end
thrust is prominent factor in friction
and frame strain.
Another point to be counted in favor
of the Monarch gear is, that it is not of
delicate construction although COM
paratiyely light in weight.
Asstated by Grant, the we'll known au-
thority on gears, "Thepin gearispa rticu-
larry valuable when the pins are made in
the form OF rollers for then the minimum
of friction is reached" The friction
between the tooth and pin, otherwise a
sliding friction at line bearing is, with
a roller pin, rolling friction. When
made, there is no form of tooth
that is superior to the roller pin
tooth.
While the Monarch company is war
ranted from the study of experts in
placing its chainless machine on the
market as the best type of that class,
its faith in the chain wheel is in no way
diminished. 1t will continue to keep
them in the forward ranks of that type
of bicycle which is yet the choice of the
majority of the people. In line with
the general policy of the Monarch COM
Dany. the price of its chainless will be
10000, which will give complete line,
including chain machines, ranging from
his price to $4,000.

NEW EAST SCHEDULE TO

effect Feb 10Th and has proved
a great success. BY this new
time card passengers from Butte
Boise, HALEY, Potatello and all
points on the Oregon Short Line
are landed in Chicago in less
than 8 days after departure
Close connections are made at
Ogden between the Oregon
Short Line and Rio Grande
Western, leaving that point at
800 m arriving Denver at 0:20
the following day and Chicago
at 2;15 p m the third day. Con
nections made in Chicago with
the limited trains for New York
This new service is in addition
to the fast night night train on
the Rio Grande Western which
leaves Ogden at $50 p m, ar
rives Denver the next evening
and Chicago 500 a m the third
day, thus making close connec-
tions in Chicago with fast morn
ing trains for Boston and New
York. Both of these trains are
splendidly equipped with all of
the latest appliances and con-
veniences, lighted with Pintsch

Two surfaces that will roll on each

are provided with projections, the mo-
ton, although it is unchanged in nature,

it is irregular unless the acting surfaces
of the projections are carefully and
exactly shaped to produce an even mo-

which leads the experienced mechanic
away from them. Long experience in
Sewing Machine manufacture has
taught the Monarch Company that
whatever transmission was used, bevel
gears were not to be considered If easy
running was to be thought of. The
result has been driving gear which is
excellent In its easy running qualities.
The mechanism is simple. The crank
axle and hub gears somewhat resemble
the familiar sprocket wheels, the notice
