SOME BICYCLE GOSSIP.
More Chainless Wheels-Fork Collapse Re.
duction-Demand For Lighter Wheels.

| According to some Augusta bicycle
dealers, next year will see a marked ad
vance in the use of the chainless wheel
| The interest in the chainless wheel was
| lacking heretofore because of its weight.
Everyone is looking for light wheel.
Next years chainless. it is said, viii
weigh from % to "a pounds, reduction
of at least five pounds.
There is, however. not likely to be 4
general reduction in the price. This
years model will probably sell at a re-
duced figure. about $50, but the 1900 mod :
81, with its reduced weight, will com
mand the standard price, about SIS A
number Of manufacturers will make the
chainless their leader. which means that
the output for next year will be greatly
increased.
''One of the most recent inventions to
guard against collapse of the FORK
crown is a brace to fit over the fork The
brace is bolted to the head tube, the steel
straps fitting to each side of the fork
Should a collision occur violent enough to
break the crown the wheel will not be re
leased. The weak point of a bicycle, if
there is any, is at the fucrum of the lev
er. the short end of which is composed of
the front wheel and fork.
All strains act on the lever at the full
crum by the wheel striking instructions
and depressons in its path. A break al
the fulcrum will throw the rider so that
he falls on his face or head, and there
are numerous cases where accidents OF
this kind have resulted fatally.
The demand for lighter wheels" said
the dealer. lis growing stronger every
day, and ii seems certain that there will
be developments in this direction in the
near future. This will mean tubing re
duced both in size ana in gauge. This
will carry with it smaller hubs, balls,
cups and Sprockets.
There is also some talk of using a
smaller front wheel. say a 70 inch wheel.
Many believe that broken forks are due to
the shortened head. which was brought
about through the demand for a dropped
hanger. AS a remedy for this trouble ana
a means for reducing the weight of a
wheel the u inch steering wheel is en-
titled to some cunsdcraj ion"

Inspector General of Rifle Practise Far
rington told the Journal reporter, yester-
day that the ranges in most of the cities
and towns of the State are in good con
dition, having recently been repaired The
only places where they have not been re
paired and put in good condition are Ban
gor, Machias and Norway. The latter
has been regarded as unsafe and highly
unsatisfactory for some time and as a
much better location has been found a
new range will be built.
The various companies of the National
Guard have not as yet done much prac
tice as they have not been in an organ
lied condition. From now out Col. Far
rington expects that they will do some
hard work and expect the guardsmen OF
Maine to be in good shooting form before
the snow flies.
