QUAIL SCARCE IN MARYLAND.
Urgency of a Law to Prevent Their

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. 1s.-It is said
session OF the legislature to pass law
prohibiting the shooting of quail on South
River. T. Edward Clark. Of Washington,
D. c.. who has been hunting game for
thirty-thre consecutive seasons, says he
has never seen game SO scarce. He said
his party killed two quail and two rabbits
before he realized the great scarcity.
He said: I'VE put away our guns. re-
solved not to kill another bird or rabbit
during the season and to do all in oue
power to spare the few that survived the
severity Of last winter, for breeders. We
shall endeavor to have all the farmers in
the neck post their lands and in every way
discourage the killing Of game, which, in
its present depleted condition, is really
on the verge Of annihilation."

back to edge of ditch. The fence can
be placed on either edge of the 5-foot
post, according to the length of COW
confined, or pushed any distance to-
ward ditch by adding another width of
studding for quite small COW or
heifer. The full distance, feet 6
inches, is about right for 1,000-pound
COW, and inches less for one weighing
800 pounds. The side partitions are
feet 6 inches long and feet high, and

BICYCLE AS A MOTOR.
the Vast Amount of Power Gem
Grated by Them.

Few wheelmen are aware of the
amount of power generated by them
when on a spin, and what wondrous re-
suits could be obtained from it if it were
possible to concentrate and apply it for
practical purposes.
According to DR.. Sehrwald, of Ger
many, there are four points to be con-
sidered about cycling-the friction of
the surface, its graduation, the natural
speed of the wheel and the resistance
of air. Thus, in making an attempt to
compute the amount of power general
ed, the conditions of the road, the veloc-
ity of the wind and the weight of the
wheel and its rider must be taken into
chief consideration.
When the rider exerts himself to the
full extent of his physical strength, as
in "a hour record making races, the
amount of power produced is wonder
full. It amounts to nearly 100000
pounds. In other words, it is equal to
the force required TO raise 291.52 hun
dred pound weights to an elevation OF
three feet in one day.
"From hygienic standpoint" says
DR.. Sehrwald, ''the best recreation can
be obtained by cyclist from speed
that does not exceed ten miles an hour
for distance of about 25 miles daily"

BICYCLE AND TROLLEY.
The wheel Has Reached Its Highest
Point OF Competition with
Street Railways.

A year ago some observations were
made in the city Of Harrisburg, Pa,
with view Of showing the number of
persons riding wheels and the number
riding in the cars. 1t was found that
during two days of October 677 per
sent. were bicyclists and 1928 per cent.
we're car passengers. This year the
number counted at the same spot in the
same length of time included 1913 per
cent. on wheels and 40.7 per cent. in
cars. The conclusion drawn is that the
bicycle is not SO keen competitor of
the street cars as it was year ago.
Another Of the conclusions drawn is in
te. esting. OF the 5,s19 persons counted
this year 1,47O passed between the
hours of twelve noon and two p. m, of
whom 1,O26 were ON wheels and 442 in
cars, or 10 per cent. on wheels and 30
per cent in the cars. This indicates
clearly that the clerk and the laborer
in going TO and from their work use the
wheel quite generally. But the figures
bearing on the use of the wheel during
other hours of the day 60 to show that
fewer persons are using the wheel as a
source of pleasure. This deduction is
confirmed in many country districts,
where the bicycle is now used far more
ss means of travel than simply for ex-
ercise. The opinion has been expressed
hat the wheel has reached the highest
point of competition with the street
| railway.

a MISSING WORE.
nut the Worthy Preacher Hit Upon
One That Was just a.
Filling.

A North Carolina preacher, in one Of our
western counties, whose memory some
times fails him at the critical point, was
recently preaching a sermon before a Sun
day school convention. His subject was
"The Resurrection" The thought toward
which he was driving with all physical
earnestness was that the doctrine Of the
resurrection was the very essence Of the
Gospel. The word essence" he had care
fully calculated to use in tremendous
epitome Of his whole thought. Rising on
tiptoe he shouted: ''In a nutshell, my
brethren, the doctrine of the resurrection
10 the very-is the very"
Alasl his chosen word Essence" was
gone. He paused a second and then strode
forward, and shouted in thunder tones:
"The doctrine Of the resurrection is the
very-is the very" The recalcitrant was
again nowhere in sight. Pausing once more,
and mastering his physical weapons for q
final desperate endeavor he lowered his
voice, but with intense earnestness, as il
angry with poor absent Essence" he
again let drive: Brethren, the thought
have tried to impress upon you is that the
doctrine of the resurrection is the very
is the very-is the very soup Of the Gospel!'

plate springs are so arranged that the
outer end of the long arm of one spring
shall overlap the outer end of the
short arm of the second spring in adj
vance. Two sets of coiled springs are
arranged around the rim and disposed
in alternate series. One set is secured
to the points where the plate springs
are bent and fastened TO the rim. The
other set is secured to the points where
the arms of the plate springs overlap.
The tire consists of a covering of rub
ber thickened at its middle or tread
portion, as shown in Fig. g. Beneath
the tread of the tire a strip of cork is
secured, which is designed to prevent
the moisture, which might possibly
penetrate the tread of the tire, from
corroding the springs. The edges of
the tire are seated in rabbets upon fiat
packing rings of rubber, likewise de-
signed to prevent the entrance of moist
ure. To secure the tire &c the rim, fiat
spring-metal bands through which
bolts are passed are employed. The
bands are made in sections to permit
the removal of any segment, should it
become necessary to repair broken
spring.
Tires thus made may be used on BIZ
cycles and other vehicles. Should one
of the springs become broken the tire
will not collapse, but will still be re-
tanned in position by the remaining
springs.

PRO BONO PUBLICO.
Bicyclers Living Mt Prague. Bohemia,
Have to Undergo "a Rigid
Examination.

The American wheelman should con-
graduate himself that he is not subject
to the laws in force at Prague, which
regulate and prescribe the proper use Of
the bicycle, according to the ideas en-
tertained of the matter by the author
tiles of that Bohemian city.
Those desiring to use the bicycle
there must first get and pay for liz
cense, after which the applicants noti-
fed to appear before the board of police
for medical examination. If his physic-
al condition is such that riding would
entail consequences injurious to his
health license is refused him.
If, on the contrary, the examination
results favorably, he is then compelled
to give public display of his profcien-
cy as a rider. If he SHES, or tumbles, or
wobbles. or exhibits erratic tendencies
to gowhere he does not intend, or other
wise manifests symptoms dangerous to
the safety and destructive to the peace
of mind of the public, he gets no license,
If, however he displays satisfactory
evidences of his skill, his likeness is
taken by the official photographer, and
his license given him. License and like
ness must then be pasted in little
book, to be always in the riders posses
sion, when disporting himself on his
wheel, and to be always produced when
police exigences require it. Obviously,
