A simple way to calculate the speed
Of bicycle by the rider is to multiply
the gear by 10 and divide by Sc. The
result may be called seconds for this
particular purpose. The number OF
complete revolutions made by either
pedal in the given number OF seconds
corresponds exactly to the rate of miles
per nour For instance, if the gear be
S4, multiplied by 10 and divided by Sc,
the result is Is. If the pedal goes
around 20 times in Is seconds the rider
knows that he is going at the rate OF
20 miles per hour. If'the gear be 67.2
the result of the calculation is u sec
onds, and the rider would have to push
his pedal around 20 times in 12 seconds
to equal the speed made by the man
on the higher gear by 20 revolutions in
Is seconds. To divide the gear by 5za
gives nearly the same result as multi
plying by 10 and dividing by IS, but Is
not quite so accurate.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-07-10

One of the hardest things in a room
to arrange artistically is the piano
now that fashion has decreed that il
shall be dragged away from the wall
Many an otherwise perfect apartment
has been spoiled by the inartistic ar
rangement of the piano back. A great
aid in overcoming this is a mirror
made the exact width Of the piano, and
placed fiat against its back. On each
side narrow curtains may be placed,
and the mirror used either as a re-
flector, or with painting on frame and
glass. Palms may be prettily arranged
at the foot, to be repeated in the glass
surface, or a tiny seat placed there
with cushions of quaint shape and ma
terial. With the mirror as a starting
point one may have endless varieties
of decoration
