THEY MAKE SPEECHES AT THE PIER AND DE-
NoUNcE THE BoER WAR.
Lord Mayor Daniel Talon OF Dublin, and John
T. Redmond NJ p. sailed for home on the Cunard
Line steamship Campania yesterday after bidding
goodby to a multitude OF enthusiastic Irshmen. who
had gathered at the pier to see them off. Both
the Lord Mayor and Mr.. Redmond made known
their attitude in regard to the Boer-British war; so
that even the slowest minded man might know
Just how they stand that subject.
Mr. Redmond said:
There IS nothing that ] say on the war in
South Africa that I have not already said. The
whole affair is Infamous And as TO the report
that there IL an alliance between England America
and Germany. L believe that is false. America Is
not foolish.
The speech was received with cheers. and I'm
medately the crowd began to call for Lord Mayor
Talon. When at last he responded, the enthusiasm
rose percepubly. The Lord Mayor said in part:
do not believe that there Is alliance between
this country and England You are not foolish
England hates republics and once before when
threw her off. Don't let her get there again.
believe that you Will refuse 10 pull her chsstnuts

Both speakers expressed their thanks to Richard
Croker and Governor Roosevelt for the kindness
with which each had co-operated with them in their
mission TO this country.

In a speech delivered at Urbroath,
Scotland, on September last, John
Morley, the great liberal leader, said !:
"And this brings me to the word suzer-
ainty. It is said that we have suzer-
ainty over the South African republic.
Sir Alfred Miner said there is nothing
in this controversy as to whether we
have suzerainty or not-nothing, ma
terial. My own view of suzerainty is
that it is word which nobody of
course can define. but it has got flavor
of sovereignty in it, and yet it is not
sovereignty; and that the Beers hate
the word because it has got that flavor
in it, and the war party in the Cape and
in other places like the word because
they hope to impart into it something
or another which may enable them I'M
der a mask of sovereignty to do things
which think they had better not do

MICHAEL GIVES UP.
Famous Little Cyclist AbandOns HiS
Attempt to Get Into Champion
ship Form Again.

Jimmy Michael will not again enter
competition on the cycle track. Michael
is up a Atump and thoroughly discour-
aged. He has tired of cycling, been
done up by the horses, the following of
which lost him his fortune, and the fu-
ture is all blank to the midget. This
is in brief the information obtained
from a rider who trained with Michael
for time at Berkeley Oval, New York.
Michael, it seems, was following pace
one day at about at 1.45 gait, and had
gone about five miles, when he lost the
pace. "Bobbie" Walthour, the southern
champion, had been trailing Michael,
and when the midget dropped the pace
Walthour ran round, and after long
sprint caught it, hanging then for an
other fast mile. In the dressing room
Michael said, with a shrug of his shoul-
ders:
"This is terribly monotonous, and I'm
going to chuck it for good. It's too hot
work, don't you know, and it's not
worth the candle. I am not fit now
to get into condition for the cycle
track"
Michael, according to the informant.
did not say then that he intended to go
back for another try at the horses be-
fore retiring finally from public gaze.
but Walthour says that he so under
stood it. One of the men who have been
pacing Michael in training wrote to
one of the riders, now in the south, that
Michael had demanded of the American
association seven races at large guar
antee, and providing that he should Sc
lect his own competitors-a demand so
unreasonable that the promoters could
not see it that way.
The failure of Michael to return will
be sore disappointment to the lovers
of cycling as sport. and yet will not
be, providing it is fact that Michael
could not get back into shape. That
he could not will surprise but few, for
he has been away from the wheel for
a long time, and, like Jim Corbett, has
lost his appetite for the work which
made him so famous. The other riders
are now so numerous and so fast that it
would be necessary for Michael to work
harder even than he was accustomed
to do of old, when he did the work Of
two men while training.

Meteors Prefer Morning.

An interesting and significant fact is
that the average hourly number of me-
teors is only half as great in the even
ing as in the morning and in the even
ing their velocity is lower. The reason
is that at sunset we have before us the
point in the heavens from which we are
moving in our orbital journey around
the sun, while the morning we face the
point toward which we are advancing:
in the evening we are in the rear of the
earth, at sunrise in front. This in
crease in the numbers and speed of the
morning meteors is just what ought to
happen if they are bodies moving indis-
criminately in all directions under the
suns attraction, and with the velocity
(about 26 miles second) which body
would acquire in falling toward the sun
from distance very great as compared
with the size Of our planetary orbits

The other day little tot Of girl wan

Long Island, and played on the railroad
tracks. When she was discovered. the
west bound train was bearing down
upon her, and the engineer, to his hor-
ror, realized that he would not be able
to stop the engine in time. But bi.
cycle rider heard the whistle and saw
the girl, and he rode down the track
at terrific pace. When he reached the

Bicycle Touring In Europe,

The highly important touring agree
ments consummated by the present
executive committee of the L. A. w.
with European cycling associations has
awakened an additional interest among
prospective visitors to the Paris expo
sition next year. Many have doubted
whether it would be advisable to take
their wheels with them, but tho adj
vantages of the agreements are 30
manifest as to dispel all doubts. Thou
sands of those who will visit Europe
next year are wheelmen and wheel
women, and the alliances between the

LEAKAGE OF TIRES.
French Scientist Explains Some Of
the Causes to Which Dc1lation
II Attributable.

Every cyclist has noticed the slow
deflation of his tires, even. when the
valve indicates no leakage under the
most severe tests. M. d'Arsonval, of the
College of France, has recently ana
lyzed the air in a bicycle tire after sew
eral mutations, and finds that it con-
tains a large proportion of nitrogen.
Air is mixture of 81 parts of oxygen
and 70 of nitrogen. The oxygen slowly
penetrates the rubber, so that tire
loses about fifth part of its imitation,
more or less quickly, according to the
composition of the rubber" M. d'Ar-
sonval says, as reported in the Literary
Digest, that "all cyclists agree that a
newly-infated tire under a pressure of
two to six atmosphere becomes de-
fated little by little, even when it shows
no loss when placed under water. One
cannot see how the air gets out. He
finds that this mysterious defation is
not continuous; it becomes slower as
the air is pumped in again and the pres
sure maintained constant. If the gas in
the tire is analysed at this moment, it
will be found that it is almost entirely
deprived of it's oxygen. 1t is almost pure
nitrogen. Thus we are manufacturing
nitrogen merely by pumping up our BIZ
cycle tires. The oxygen is absorbed
in part by the rubber, and partly es-
capes through it,"
Possibly this may lead to the discov-
cry of cheap apparatus for the separa-
ton of the oxygen and nitrogen of the
air, although it has long been known

while to initiate bicycle tires with pure
nitrogen in the first place. The action
of the two gases may be understood,
if we imagine lot of cannon balls and
a lot of marbles all mutually repel-
lent, confined in a tube some hundred
thousand miles in diameter, and all
darting back and forth and never COM
ing in contact, or coming within a
miles distance of each other. The
warmer it is, the livelier the motions of
the balls, which represent the atoms Of
the gases. The walls of the tube are
of thick, loosely-woven stuff, with
meshes large enough to allow the mar
bles to pass through. The continue.
impact of the balls on the tube keeps
it distended and elastic. In time, many
of the marbles-representing the atoms
of oxygen-strike the walls of the tube
just right and pass through. If the
tube is properly woven none of the can
non balls can get out. Thus, the bicycle
tire is a sort Of atom strainer
This consideration ought to increase
our respect for bicycle tire, and lessen
our Impotence when we find that it has
become deflated.-HartfordT Times,
