preston at the Late
Worlds Fair.

There is little left of what was once
the beautiful White City. Time has
effaced the memory of all but few of
it's wonderful sights.
We can all remember at least three
of the most striking features-that
ponderous implement of warfare, the
Krupp gun, the wonderful Ferris
Wheel, and last. but not least, the
big Garland" Stove-a mammoth
cooker large enough to supply meals
for tribe of giants. It doomed up
above all other exhibits. It was
twenty-five feet in height, thirty feet in
width, and weighed ten tons.
These three productions have scat
tered. The Krupp Gun is back in
Germany, the Ferris Wheel was re-
CONSTRUCTED on the beautiful North
Side OF Chicago, the big Garland"
Stove is still a wonderful attraction.

the farm Ringdal, the old home, |

learned to climb before he came to
America. Next visited Mode, which
is the favorite stopping place OF the
German kaiser on his annual outing in
Norway; and I must say he displays
good taste, for Molde is a veritable
paradise. The drive along Fanestran-
den from Mode to Bottonefjorden is
one never to be forgotten. | took a

This city did not impress me as being
beautiful, but it is at present very
lively, though there has been a col
lapse of the real estate and building
boom. I found that lots some distance
from the business center were held at
prices 100 per cent higher than lots
similarly situated in Minneapolis.
The many failures in Christiania dur
ing this summer have caused hard
times. I would rather invest my,
money in real estate in Minneapolis.

M. A. sheldrup, who as IL WELL
known, is visiting Norway, his native
country, contributed the following in
teresting letter to the Minneapolis
Times, under date Of August Is:
Last spring before I left Minneapo-
lis, for a visit to old Norway,
promised some of my friends that they
should hear from me through the
Times. went direct to Norway, my
first stopping place in the old country
being .Elkersund. From that city /
went by rail to Stavanger, where I
spent four days. Stavauger is q very
enterprising and PROSPEROUS city of
25, 900 inhabitants, the principle in
dnstries being those connecsedwith the
Observation-Disclosures. Several new manu-.
featuring plants we're being built, the
banking institutions of the place are
exceptionally strong, and the country
tributary to Stavanger is of the best,
SO that the middle class merchants are
in good circumstances. There are no
very rich men, but large number who
are comfortably wealthy. l made a
most enjoyable trip by sail boat in
through the narrow Lysefjord which
is bordered by mighty mountains of
great grandeur.
/ next went to Bergen, the home of
-. . Z
my boyhood. Great changes have
taken place. The populationhas been
doubled since Iwent to America, the
buildings have been much imp owed
and manufactures of all kinds have
been established. The shipping inter-
ests are the most important in the city
and make it a very busting place.
The streets were so crowded that it was
possible for an American to imagine
himself in Chicago. The p -ople look
upon America as the great teacher OF
the world and they are trying to imi-
tate American ways of doing business.
The most noticeable Improvement in
Bergen was, however, in the excellent
system of public, parks. My first
stay in the city lasted only three days,
but it interested ME so much that I
afterwards returned for a second
visit.
My first trip from Bergen was OF
course sail in through the Sange-
ford, famous for its grand scenry.
Then / spent two weeks in my native
valley, Scandal. rode to Vossev-
angen over the wonderfully picturesque
route via Gudvangen and Stalheim.
This is in my opinion the most beau
tiful part of Norway. A traveller who
neglects to visit this district makes q
sad mistake. The railroad from Vos-
sevangen to- Bergen is q remarkable
piece of engineering. The road is
hewr into the mountain sides and there
are more than forty tunnels in dis
lance of sixty miles. There are several
villages along the route, but the are

better city with better people and more

Industry all the while made small but
steady gain. 1t must have been half
an hour after this that Master Sellinger
called me. and upon my responding said
that he must now retire to the cabin
for a little, the further disposition of
the voyage standing to be settled. and
that meanwhile I was to command the
ship. With that, and upon my ascend
ing to the quarterback, he made a
sign to Mr.. lynn and they both went
below.
After little Mr.. lynn and the mate
returned to the deck, their counte-
nances, though sober, cleared. as I
thought. as it might be they had set,
tied their business to their minds.

The DISABILITY of TIre..o

The durability of bicycle tires varies
according to the use to which they are
put, but almost invariably the rear or
driving tire first succumbs- This is be-
cause the weight is chiefly on the rear
tire. Manufacturers make tiresaf for
front and rear wheels alike, although it
would look like only mere common
sense to make the rear tire with a
heavier tread. 1t has been suggested
that the fault may be remedied by
shifting the tires. but anyone who has
undertaken to take of tire and put it
on again, unless it was .clincher" tire,
knows what task it is. The only real
remedy is for the manufacturers to
make the rear tires heavier and stoutsr,
and they will do it when there is gen
eral demand for the improvement.

ONE TYPE OF CHAINLEss.

this type promised well, but the chain
driven safety soon forced it into the
background. The New York man says
of his invention that the driving power
is communicated directly to the front
wheel by means of cogged wheels con-
nected with the pedal cranks engaging
smaller wheels fitted to the hub of the
driving wheel. The front wheel is 80
inches in diameter and the rear wheel
II inches. The rider is perched over the
front wheel, and his position requires
him to kick forward in using the pedals.
The inventor claims that one of his
wheels geared to 116 will be no harder
to propel than any other bicycle geared
to 6S. He processes that a mile a min
ute viii be possible on his machine, and
he intends to have a trial made of it at
the Manhattan Beach track. Leaving
the speed possibilities out of the CUES
ton, the position cyclist is forced to
take on this machine and the necessary
kicking forward is enough to settle the
fate of the device.

THIRTY-INCH WHEELS.
Bicycle Makers Do Not AntIcipafe an
Excess OF Orders for This Well
Aired Novelty.

If present indications are worth any,
| thing. 30-inch wheels are going to fall
| fiat. The discussion regarding them
that but a short time ago ragged so vio-
| lently has ceased-temporarily at
| least. Whether this is but a rest taken
| for the purpose of getting breath, to be
| followed by a yet more violent out
break, remains to be seen. Travelling
| men and others able to feel the pulse
| of the retail trade agree in belittIing
| the movement. They find no real de-
mand back of it, no desire on the part
| of riders to adopt 3O-inch machines.
The curiosity that was felt concern
ing 1T has, in a measure, been satisfied.
In the absence of more interesting top
les 1T could be pushed to the front but
it could not be kept there for any
| length of time. There will be des-
perate attempt made, however, to start
the season with a boom for 3O-inch
wheels.
The ones most interested are those
in the trade who have calculated upon
there being a good demand for them.
A certain measure of success is reason
ably sure to reward their efforts. ANY
novelty can be made to go, to a GER
Idln eAlent. pTONlQeQ the movement Is
ably engineered. This one Will be, and
enough of a boom will be worked up
to absorb the comparatively small
number of such machines that have
been manufactured.
1t is fortunate, however, that the ma
jority of the firms have pursued a con-
servative course in the matter. The
demand will be largely artificial
brought into life by the makers of
those machines. With their support
withdrawn, the movement would col
lapse in short order.
This was the view generally taken of
it, hence most manufacturers made
haste slowly in this direction. To this
will be due the harmless nature of the
episode.-Chicago Democrat.

Motors for Army Use.

There is trouble in European armies
in procuring the needed number of
horses and mules and a substitute has
been sought for. Motor carriages and
bicycles have been tried In the utiliza-
ton of motor carriages the French have
gone further. perhaps, than their Ger
man neighbors, but the German army
has well-equipped bicycle force, and
an additional advantage which comes
from its use is the fact that forage
wagons are not necessary with bicycle
corps, and soldiers can move more rap
idly on bicycles or motor carriages than
on horseback For artillery service
there would seem to be no insurmount-
able objection to motor carriages.
