sExTEr ICE BICYCLE.
FearfuIIy and Wonderfully Made
Machine Designed by q New
York Inventor.

The newest machine intended for
rapid locomotion on ice is shown in the
accompanying illustration.
The mechanical genius. who is at
present engaged in constructing it is
Harry LEM, of 113 West One Hundred
and Twenty-fourth street, New York
City. The illustration is drawn from a
pencil diagram by Mr.. LEM.
The sketch shows the machine as it
will be seen on Central Park lake, New
York, where Mr.. LEM will give trial
exhibition of the working of the inven-
ton as soon as it is completed. The
new contrivance is built almost on the
lines of an ordinary seXtet bicycle The
difference, of course, is seen in the run
ners, which are three in number, two
in the rear and one in the front. The
leading runner is intended to be used
by the steersman. Seated at the front
of The machine the head rider viii turn
the wheel by simply twisting the point
ed steel prov to the rigt or the left. in
precisely the same way as the steers
man of a many-seated road machine
steers by turning the front wheel.
The tires of the new contrivance for
travelling on ice are made of solid rub
Der, and are provided with spikes at
regular intervals. AS the machine IS
propelled forward by means of the ped
ais, these spiked wheels grip firmly the
surface of the ice, and, when the run
ners have attained Roadway, they will
serve to steady and act as a brake on
machine that might otherwise travel,
with so much motive power as eight

GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
Nickel Plating to BE Superseded by
New Surfacing Which Is said:
to BE Rust Proof.

Something new in the way of treat
ing spokes, handlebars, nuts and other
parts that are now nickeled is being in
troduced in the west for the 1899
wheels. 1t is finish that looks like
gold and it is said for it that rust Will
not touch any metal with which it is
coated. A finish Of this description is
one of the improvements much needed.
When bicycles were first made in this
country, spokes were generally enam-
eled in black. This was a method
copied from the English makers and
there was then 10 trouble with rusty
spokes. The English manufacturers
continue to enamel their spokes. but
the tendency toward showiness quickly
led American producers into the habit
of finishing them with nickel plate and
the custom has become universal
Nickel dresses a wheel, but the nickel
finish has been the cause of no small
amount of annoyance to riders, be-
cause on small parts. such as spokes
and nuts the nickel does not take hold
strongly and rust accumulates in spite
of care. To abolish nickel plating and
substitute some kind OF surfacing that
will actually prevent rusting Will be a
step in the proper direction and one
likely to meet with approval on the part
of riders

HOLDS THE RECORD.
by Stealing 300 Wheels In n Single
Year Connecticut Boy Out
classes All Other Thieves.

One of the most remarkable bicycle
thieves on record is locked up in the
New Haven Jail Hhe is only Is years
old. but according to his confession he
has stolen as many as 800 bicycles in
one year. He says he is John j. Viii
Hams and that he comes from New
York. The police know that for the
last three months William has been
working in the big cities throughout
New England. He was arrested on the
information of a young man named
Durant, who bad lost his wheel in fror t
of store in Chapel street.
Williams never tried to sell the
wheels he stole to bicycle shops. His
plan was to. get in with a crowd of
young men and by talking about the
relative merits of the different makes
of wheels get rid of all he might have
on hand
He tried to sell Durant's machine in
Grand avenue, buf was unsuccessful.
One man with whom he spoke told him
to call again. In the meanwhile the
man sent word to the police. Williams
did not keep his engagement, but next
evening he turned up in Grand avenue
with different wheel.
The wheel he had was stolen from
store in Congress avenue. The police
persuaded Williams to confess. He adj
Initted having stolen wheels all over
New England. In one instance, he said,
he stole tandem and two bicycles at
one time. He says he rode the tandem
and carried the other two on his back
until he got away.-N. L. Herald

riders provide. at a dangerously fast

riders provide. at a dangerously fast
pace.
There have been ice bicycles before.
but a machine to travel on ice that will
accommodate eight riders at one time.
and which combines wheel propulsion
and the gliding movement of steel run
ners in the manner provided by the in
vention of this LEM machine. is the
browning novelty of them all. Mr. LEM
proposes at the trial exhibition to have
the eight seats of the machine occupied
by beyy Of girl riders. He rightly
judges that they will enhance the at
traction of the occasion. He states that
he will carefully train the girls before
hand so as to prevent the possibility of
any accident occurring to mar the sue
cess of the trial.
After a careful study of the accom-
panying illustration, the reader will
probably arrive at the conclusion that
such a machine as that shown. pro-
PEELED in the manner indicated, will be
granted the right of way on any body of
frozen water in the country.

NOT A HAPPY LOT.
Requirements of the Unfortunate
Men Who Seek Positions in
Chinese Mail Service

Difficulties of the civil service exam
nation are multiplied tenfold in the
requirements set down by law Of ap,
plicants for positions in the mai, serT-
ice of C ina.
In the first pIace,an applicant must
have strength and courage. To acquire
these he goes through aEery queer
method of training. He wapders
through mountains and valleys, forests
and caves The exact time to be nccn-
pied in a trip is fixed by law, and a
heavy fine is imposed for unnecessary
delay. He must repeat these trips at
night. and if he listens to the bad spirit
and thereby fails to appear at the re-
quired time at a certain place he Is
sure to lose his rights to position.
This is not all. He is obliged oucarry
an enormous weight for many miles
and return with it within given time
No allowance is made for his inability
to defend himself against thieves and
highwaymen. his road usually leading
through a district thick with bandits
In training the candidate eats very
little-though he is used to this-and
he tries every straining exercise Then
comes his real examination, under the
direction of government officials. He Is
taken into a leng room where, suspend
ed from high beam with strong ropes
are very heavy sacks with rocks
The candidate must give a swinging
motion TO all these sacks and then run
to and fro between them, carefully
guarding against blow by one of the
heavy weights--Chicago Journal.

Bicycre Drawn by a Kite.

a bicycle drawn by a paper kite has
just been manipulated with certain
amount of success by an enthusiastic
wheelman, who lives near the Roman
road, IN Yorkshire. The kite, a very
large and powerful. one, was put up
when a strong wind was blowing al
most straight along the road, and the
bicycle was then connected with the
loose end of the tow-rope by means of
a hook on a swivel. For nearly a dozen
miles the ma. hine was drawn at 4 ter
rife speed along the smooth and fair
ly level road; then, suddenly. it sweryed
or was pulled completely over, the rider,
of course. sustaining a terrible fall.
When picked up, about Is ninutrs
later, the man was still insensible. He
then quickly recovered consciousness,
however, and in common with most en-
thusiasts, iemediateiy declared that
far from being hurt, he would repeat
the attempt on the following morning.
