He said cur factory meant the employment of high sal aried and skilled mechanics, which meant q great deal for our mer- chants.
 At the conclusion of Mr Whites talk Mr. N. B. Truloek arose aud said city hall was not half as badly needed as protection for our ladies and children against that town COW and the weeds, which cover our walks throughout the city Here Gen. White said, We do not mind the cows so muah if they would only pass ain ordinance prohibiting the bells they carry. . Mir nuloek then continued, Now, wouldn't an electric line look nice the ears having to stop every min ute to allow a COW to cross the track, and maybe some loss of life would he tbe result. Mayor Alex ander then informed Mr, Trulock that they bad COW ordinance in the council but it failed to pass by one vote, and the man who opposed il was from Mr. Truloek's s own ward
 Rev Caldwell said white the kick. ing was ia progress he would like to be heard He said be would like to kick on the dust in our city, and asked that sprinkIiag ordin. aeee be passed.
 As no one else was to be heard on the improvement district subject, a vote of thanks was rendered the Blua City Club aud the meeting ad journed.
 The ldea oi municipal ownership of an electric car line and lighting plant, in so far as Pine Blaf alone is eoneerneI was given a perfect solarpiexus blow at this meeting.

The pal bearers oaIy covered the remains with a very thin coating of eartb, however. and the enterprise may be res8r- reeted al an early date. Now lat the capitalists, who are watiag tol attemp. 1t, unearth the dead issue and do the right thing wtth us. Pine BIu6 has now reached point in its growth where an electric ear tlne Is almost absolutely essential to ! the eity's maintenance, and some [ scheme, 1t is thought, will soon be devised, whereby the much needed plant will be secured.

CONCERNING CATS.

Over 1000 years ago the cat was a
domestic animal.
Cats do not have the affection for
their masters that dogs have, but they
love their homes far more.
The cat was a sacred animal to the
ancient Egyptians and was supposed
to represent the god Isis, or the moon,
and was after death embalmed after
the same manner that human beings
were. These mummies of cats are
found to-day in the old Egyptian tombs
A strange thing about the house cat
is that if allowed to run wild in the
country and get its food by killing rab-
bits, chickens and such live things it
will gradually but surely take the color
and stripes of the regular wildcat and
act and live like one.
1t is well known that when cat has
become accustomed to a certain house
or locality she is hard to get rid of, if
that be desired. Cover up her eyes and
carry her off in basket to great dis
tanse and she will always come back,
no matter how far it may be. Some ex-
plain this on the ground of the cats
sense of smell.

If some women who ride wheels could
view themselves as others see them they
would cast off their bicycle raiment,
store their wheels and never essay a
mount again. Why a woman, other
wise displaying good taste in her dress,
should resemble nightmare the mo-
ment she dons wheeling costume, is
one of those mysteries difficult of sou
ton. In contrast with the compara-
lively few who look neat and natty on
their wheels, they show to poor advan-
tage. Many of them would present a
better appearance if they rode more
gracefully, and as matter of fact half
the members of the fair sex who ride
need a course of instruction and a
proper adjustment of the distance be-
tween their seats and pedals.-Chicago

To Find the R,cvcIe Ge.r

An easy method of ascertaining your
gear is to turn the crank around as
many times as the back wheel is inches
in diameter-that is, 2S times for a 2s-
inch wheel and 80 times for a 30-inch
wheel-and whilst doing this count
the number of revolutions the back
wheel makes. If the back wheel re-
wolves 20 times to 2s revolutions of the
crank the gear is 20 inches; if G6h
times, it is 66h inches, and so on. Be-
fore starting to count, 1T Is best to re-
volve the crank till 1t and the valve come
in convenient positions, say, crank par
allel with the chain stay, and the valve
opposite the back stays, as it is easier to
reckon the revolutions from some def
mite points.

CURIOUS FACTS.

No vice president has been renomi-
mated for so years.
The best marksmen are usually those
with gray or blue eyes.
The annual increase of population
in the United States is about 900, 900.
Chicago's actual population at the
present time is approximately 2,O25, 900.
On Mr.. J. w. Overstreet's place, near
Tifton, Ca, is an oak 12 feet inches
in circumference, Is inches above the
ground and II feet in circumference
as high up as man can reach. 1t has
a spread of branches of about rs feet.
The oak was set out just 20 years ago.
The little Essex village of Chipping
Ongar is a remarkable place. With
a population of 500 there are 12 per-

SOME NEW DEVICES.

A floating merry -go-round has been
designed which will revolve on the sur
face of the water, circular hull being
provided with central shaft having
an anchor at the bottom, with paddle
wheel driven by u motor to turn the
hull.
The hinged brace is done away with
In new support for carriage tops, a
rod being pivoted at the rear of the top,
with a socket on the side of the seat to
receive the rod, the latter being adapted
to be elamped in the socket to hold it in
place.
Emery products are replaced by an
EngGshman's patent, the process con-
sisting in heating purified iron sand to
redness in the presence of carbon and
then immersing the particles in cold
water, on the top of which rests thick
layer of oil.
To illustrate the phenomena of thun-
dor and lightning an apparatus has
been designed which accumulates the
force in suitable holder from u small
generator, discharging it from fiat
plate suspended horizontally to objects
placed on n platform below.
Floor sweepings are easily taken up
by new dustpan, which rests in de-
preston cut in the floor, the edges be-
iRg flush with the floor and allowing
the dirt to be swept in without the ne
cessity of STOPPING to hold the pan with
the hand.
A New York inventor has patented

to project from the face or dial of the
cyclometer. Thus, when the hour and
minute hands are in position they re-
volve in front of the said face or dial,
which, in addition to having the cyclo-
meter indications, is marked with di-
visions like the dial of an ordinary
watch to indicate time.
The instrument may be attached to
any suitable part of the cycle, but
preferably to the handle-bar, so that it
can be always seen clearly by the rider.
The cyclometer is driven by flexible
and adjustable shaft from star wheel
near the hub of one of the bicycle
wheels, which star-whcel is rotated in
termittently in a well-known manner
by striking piece on one of the spokes
of the cycle wheel.

ANIMALS FOR TRAINING.

A young walrus that is bought for
$500 when carefully trained is worth
fully $4,000.
Animal trainers say the most intelli-
gent animals for their purpose are the
walrus, elephant, monkey, seal and sea
lion.
Elephants memories are the most
lasting of any animals. One trainer
had an elephant in his care six weeks
and taught 1t many tricks. 1t was then
shipped away to menagerie, where it
led humdrum life for many months.
Its old trainer coming in unexpectedly
however, it obeyed his voice and went
through its tricks perfectly.
Sea lions, seals, walruses and pelicans
are fed on fish when in captivity; mon
keys, young lions and hippopotami
drink milk-a full-grown hippopota-
mus will get away with IS quarts of
milk in day. Polar bears live on bread;
monkeys like fruit as we'll as milk;
snakes require rabbits, chickens and
ducks. A kangaroo eats nearly 1000
pounds of bread week.

THE BICYCLE TRUST.
1t Is Doubtful If the Public VIII
Gain Anything from the Formn-
ton of This Combination.

Many strange results may follow the
organization of the bicycle trust, which
now appears certain to occur, as over
100 large factories have been included
in the membership. With trust in
control, the conditions of the trade will
be largely reversed. Unrestricted COM
petition has produced a great many va
rieties of machine and steadily reduced
prices, until the price of the best grade
of wheel is about half what it was only
three years ago. The objects of form
ing the trust are to check competition
and to reduce the cost of production.
The time may therefore come soon
when the numberless "maLes" will not
be known and prices will be stationary.
Acompact combination may apportion
territory among the different MEM
bers and allow each to keep its distin-
gushing name and peculiarities. 1t
may, on the other hand, make machines
of three different grades and use the
different factories for the production
of parts. Tires, saddles, rims, hubs,
bearings and tubing may be more
cheaply produced if each factory is en-
ployed on a speciality. The assembled
machine may be the trust bicycle of
first, second or third grade.
One thing is certain, that the trust
will produce bicycles more cheaply than
it's members do now. Another thing is
probable, that the public will not be
benefited by any reduction of price.
Between the cheapening of cost and
the fixing of selling price, the trust ex-
poets to make its money. Perhaps the
public may gain indirectly in an i'm
proved quality of machine, but that is
subject of speculation.-St Paul Dis
