DEEP WATERWAY.
The Commission 10 Meet and Consider
Final Surveys.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2.-NIaj. Charles
w. Raymond, chief engineer of the
United States army for this city, LETT
Tuesday for Sault Ste. Marie, Mich,
to attend a meeting of the department
waterway commission, of which he is
president. The commission, which
has held a number of meetings, will
discuss and compare the final surveys
made for the contemplated route of
the waterway from the great lakes
to the Atlantic ocean. The commits
sion will inspect the Sault Ste. Marie
canal and will then go to Detroit.
Maj. Raymond approXimates the
cost of the proposed waterway al
about $200,000,000. Before leaving he
said: The route to be followed will
be through the Suit Ste. Marie cana
to Lake Huron through the river tc
Lake Erie thence by ship canal around
niagara Falls to Lake Ontario. The
question confronting the commission
at this point is whether or not Wei
land canal, which is Canadian prop
erty, should be utilized by deepening
as it is now totally inadequate for ust
for ships of deep draught, or new
canal built in American territory
This may be found the more desirable
for international reasons.
"a depth of 90 feet throughout th'
the waterway would be sufficient t.
carry any vessel to the ocean. From
the point above mentioned, two cana
routes are suggested, both using tn,
Hudson river. One is known as TIL,
Oswego-Mohawk route and the othc
as the Champlain-St Lawrence route.
In addition to consideration of TIN
above suggestions, the commission
will discuss the question of an increas
of the locks of the Sault Ste. Mari

machine in this way, but only on
smooth ground, whereas with the BIZ
cycle of Mr.. Metzger this feat is rem
dered not only easy, but absolutely safe
on all roads. In the construction of
this machine the stem of the steering
wheel is supplied with a rearwardly
extending steadying bar, having a
spring causing it to bear slightly on a
support. This pressure is sufficient to
hold the wheel steady, but not great
enough to interfere with its free mo-

of the body. The fork of the front
wheel is turned slightly under instead

INCORRECT POSITION.
That Assumed by Majority of BE
cycle Riders Is Unsafe and
WnstefuI of Power.

Anyone who considers the bicycles of
five or six years ago, and who looks at
the machines of to-day, must be struck
with the remarkable difference which
exists between the designs of then and
now, more particularly in the posi-
ton of the saddle, although perhaps it
is not quite so accurate to speak of
thisRs difference in design, as differ
ence in fitting and adjustment by the
rider. In many cases, however, the po-
Iition assumed by large proportion
Of the riders of to-day is quite as wrong
as was that of the years that have
gone, and while fully admitting that
the cycle manufacturer has to follow
the fashion, and supply that which his
customers require, it is our object to
point out the error of their way.
With the idiotic, absurd and awk-
ward backward squat" of three or
four years ago, who does not remember
the serious statements that such po-
sition was the only one suitable for
speed purposes, and that, however in
elegant it might be, it of all positions
was the right one for the scorchers-
and yet what do we see to-day? 1t is
not the slow rider and the tourist who
have jumped to the opposite extreme,
but the racing man and the ,Sould-be
speed merchant, the latter very much
more than the true speed man.
AS a matter of fact, the bicycle as
we see it ridden by the rational rider
of to-day, and the seasoned tourist, is
about as correct in its adjustment and
position as it can well be, but the posi-
ton in which the rider is hung out to
dry on the projecting peak of an un-
duly forward saddle the while he kicks
backwards at his pedals, and has to
support himself on his dropped handle
bar, is just as wrong as the old, far.
away rear position was in the other
direction-indeed, not only the saddle
but the handles on most machines OF
the latter class are about as wrongly
positioned as they can be, for it will
be noticed that very many of our fastest
path-riders adopt handle-bars very lit.
tie dropped below their saddle level
whereas we see riders about the streets
with the handle-grips set six or eight
inches below. This position is incor
rect, inelegant, unsafe and wasteful ot
power. and the sooner the younger gen
Grafton of riders recognize that it is Sc
the better.-Golden DAYS.

Rise ana Fau of Prices.

1t is interesting to note the rise and
fall in bicycle prices during the last
2l years. In 1877 wheels of the highest
grade sold for $02.50. In 1883 the price
had advanced TO $142.5O. Two years
later the ordinary" reached its highest
value and the best grade sold for $3.50.
In 9sS7 the price had dropped to $50.
The rear-driving safety made its APP
pearance in 1888 at Sl35, and four years
later, when pneumatic tires were add
ed, the price was $3.50. From 1892 the
price steadily declined until 1897, when
the standard figures were 500. The
following year the advent of the chain
less again raised the price to $l25. Pres
ent prices are $75 for the chainlcss and
$50 for the best chain wheels. The opin-
ion is freely expressed that prices have
reached the lowest point, and that fu-
ture values will tend upward. This
view is supported by the advance in the
cost of materials and labor and the gen
eral prosperity of the country.

Popularity OF the Tandem.

The popularity of the tandem in GER
tain cities and the disfavor with which
it is looked upon in others is one of the
ineXplicable fads of the cycle trade.
just why people should enjoy riding to-
gether in certain sections and decline to
double up" in others is beyond the
comprehension of the average mortal.
In Chicago, Rochester and several other
cities it is the height of riders am
bition to own tandem, while in Cleve-
land, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and any
number of other cities, double seaser
is almost as superhuous to a dealers
stock as solid tired machine would be.
The majority of manufacturers are not
at all sorry to note general falling off
in the demand for the larger machines,
since the makers never have been able
to secure the price they should get for
the two-seaters when the extra work
and the small percentage of demand for
them is taken into colsideration.-The

SUITS FOR WHEELING.
stiII nm Interesting Subject to Most
Women, Although No Longer n
Bone of Contention.

Bicycle riding having now become al
most as common a habit as walking,
the bicycle costume is an interesting
subject to most women, although it is
no longer the burning topic that it was
Mt first, when it served as a bone of con-
tention for extremists both pro and
con. All women do not wear the same
kind of bicycle suit, not simply be-
cause there is diversity in taste, but
because there are individual points to
be considered, such as age, weight and
the sort of riding to be done. A wom-
an who bowls along a few miles upon
an asphalted pavement in the level
streets of city can clothe herself much
more daintily than one who takes long
trips over rough country roads where
mud, water and dust are abundant, tum-
bles a thing to be anticipated, and a
drenching shower not an impossibility,
to say nothing of a great deal of eXer-
ton and consequent warmth, prone to
wilt frills and furbelows. Frills and
furbelows are never, indeed, appro-
pirate to bicycle clothing, which should
be always of the tailor-made order,
trim, close and free from floating ends
and 1uttering accessories, but white,
mastic and pale gray gowns, patent
leather shoes and similar attire may be
worn by the easy rider, who is content
ed with a spin around the square,
whereas the country excursionist must
get herself up in far more substantial
fashion.

What the League Has Done.

Fourteen states require railroads to
carry bicycles as baggage. Every
wheelman in these states is indebted
to the League of American Wheelmen
for the passage of the necessary laws
requiring the railroads to so carry BIZ
cycles, for in every case was the league
to be credited with the laws which
have saved hundreds of thousands of
dollars to wheelmen generally, whether
members of the organizations or not
The league is working in many other
directions, and its officers are constant
ly urging wheelmen to become mem
bers that the work may become even
more effective because of the moral ed
feet of large numbers demanding iegis'
lation or making requests.

small planters.
Miss Barton says "The Cubans
are not responsible for the destitution
of these children. When the starv-
ing reconcentrados were driven into
the towns the residents divided food
and clothing with them, and then di-
vided again and again, but there was
point at which they had to stop Civ
ing. Only for the Cuban rations dis
tributed by our army it would be a
sorry lookout for those helpless little
ones. They range in number from
30 to rs and even 100 In the various
towns, utterly homeless and no one
has the least personal interest in them
or responsibility for them. The
towns people still do what they can,
hut their main dependence is begging
