IEMENT: WASHINGTON, D.
When Don Amador returned to the cham
Der, he was rejoiced to find his kinsman
asleep, and not offended that the faithful
Marco and Baltasar were both nodding
as they sat at his side. He threw himself
softly on cot of mats, covered with
robes; of fine cotton, over which was a
little canopy,-such being the beds of the
better orders OF Mexico. The crowded
state of the palace efOr it is recorded that
the number of Totonac and Tlascalan
allies, who remained in the garrison with
Alvarado, now swelled the army of Cortez
to nearly e,C00 men, left him no other
choice; and he felt that his presence
was perhaps necessary in the unhappy
condition of his knight. He was mindful
to obey the counsels of Don fernando,
and lie with his weapons ready to bs

bered also the hint that had been given
him, not to be surprised at such tumults,

STRENGTH OF A BICYCLE.

In order to demonstrate the wonder
full strength of a bicycle an interesting
experiment was made recently" said a
dealer, yesterday. "A wheel was fixed
in stationary position and on it was
placed a platform weighing 100 pounds.
Then one after another the assembled
spectators We're invited to take their
stand on the platform. Ten men
mounted, and the bicycle was support

any perceptble strain on the wheels.
Then five more men, one after the
other, mounted the stage. and upwards
OF 2,250 pounds was by this time press

not the slightest sign of having reached
the breaking point. Sixteen, seven

stood on the wheel, and the bicycle.
Weighing itself only thirty-tWu
pounds, was supporting on its back 4
weight Of over 5000 pounds. At this
point some Of the spokes showed signs
of buckling under the great strain. and
