A Cure For Bicycle Paralysis.

One of the most annoying expert
ences which can fall to the lot of the
bicyclist who is bitten with the sscen-
tury' mania is what is now called
"bicycle paralysis" A numbness is
felt in certain fingers, which may last
not only while on the wheel, but for
twenty-four. hours, and sometimes
longer, after the ride is over. In some
cases this numbness extends through
out the whole hand, and the rider sim
ply has to stop. The cause of the
trouble is the excessive vibration in
the handle bars. A good remedy is
skilled massage, but the quickest and
most thorough cure is attained by the
use Of electricity. Either the ordinary
induction coil or the static machine
will serve the purpose. The electric
current gives to every atom in the
affected hand a gentle and continuous,
vibration. which soon restores its nor
msl conditions. -Chiesgs Record.

Warfare Becoming Humane.

sic 5000, at Solferino 2771 and at
Metz 27O2.
The late wal showed that the per-
centage of hits with the Krag-Jorgen-
sen rifle in battle will be about one in
400. Inasmuch as our soldiers carry
100 rounds each, it will require the
ammunition of four men to wound one

casualties will not rise above twenty
per cent, one-fourth of the men hit
being killed.
A division of 10, 900 men at this
rate would have 500 killed, 500 Sc
verely wounded and 1000 slightly in
jured, most of whom could walk to the
dressing stations. The great majority
of wounds will be inflicted by small

In Washington, for example, there
are many more bicycles than horses.
Yet the streets androads are made and
maintained with a view solely to their
use by horse-drawn vehicles. A
loaded wagon wears out a road a thou
sand times as fast as q bicycle. In
fact, BICYCLES are road makers; they do
not injure but tend to improve roads.
Under the present laws local govern.
ments must provide roads for horse
drawn vehicles and walks for pedes-
TRANS, but it would be legitimate un-
der o changed law for them to provide
thoroughfares specially for bicycles
also. Az the bicycle vote gets
stronger, it will assert its rights. and
the time is rapidly coming when the
country will be networked with public
cycle paths. Not till then will bicy-
cles attain to their full destined useful
ness, for the roads now provided for
horse travel are mere makeshifts as
cycle roads.

and sensible observations on his re-
tirement from active business. He
determined long ago, he says, not to
spend his old age 'struggling after

he sho1ld "develop a dignifed and
