Cycling MACHINE for the BlInd

What is undoubtedly the most remark
able cycling machine in the world, has
Just been built for the use of the students
of the Royal Normal College for the
Blind at West Norwood, England. 1t IS
a strange and Fascinating sight 10 see
this elongated machine passing swiftly
through the quiet country roads adjacent
to the college, it's seven sightless riders
enjoying their ride and pedailing as swift
" as though able to see every danger
ahead instead of being compelled by their
misfortune to trust entirely to the skill
and caution OF the man in the second
seat. who does the steering for the others.
The great machine can be taken apart and
used by a lesser number, but the eleven
riders who go out riding in This way are
accustomed to each others presence anu
it is a rare thing for spin to be taken
without the entire crew participating But
for tho particular nature Of the Wileei
there would be little to attract the atten-
zion OF the casual observer to the riders,
for they pedal along with heads erect ana
nost1als snuffing in the exhalarating coun-
try air after the manner of all cychsts
who are keen lovers of the sport.

A FamOus Church Going to Ruin.

Londoners all the world over will hear
with regret that the famous church OF
Bow Bells-St. Mary-le-Bow in Cheap
side-s showing signs of structural weak
ness. Cracks of ominous size have appear
ed in its walls, and its spire is inclined to
initiate the leaning tower of Pisa. This
perilous and sad state of affairs is said TO
be due to the excavations required for the
new Central London Railway. but that
undertaking has SO often been needlessly
maligned for cracks in city buildings that
no doubt its engineers will be able to
prove that in this case, also. 1t is blame
less. st. Mary-le4Bow is the most famous
church in London. "A sacred edifice is sup
posed to have stood on its site even in tae
time of the Roman occupation. Its be Is
are associated with most Of the great in
cidents in city history. To their inspirit-
ing sounds countless thousands of children
owe their. principal Christmas amusement,
for through them they have the story Of
Wilmington and his cat. The present
church in the third, or perhaps the fourth
which has occupied the ground. the pre-
vious structures having been destroyed
by fire AS it at present stands, the edifice
was designed by Wren, and was thorough
ly restored some years ago. Cracks,
says The City Press, are quite visible in
the porchway On two sides large ruts
run from the floor to the ceiling In one
of these 1t is even possible to insert ones
finger. on the west side Of the church
there is another crack running up toward
beautiful stained-glass window, while
at the base of the tower there is iureh
of about seven inches which means, 1t Is
said, an incline of about two feet at the
spire. 1t viii thus be seen that the church
is seriously imperilled, and that steps
must immediately be taken to insure its
safety. It has been decided to obtain the
opinion Of an engineer. London Tele-

He Decided to Give Up His
Erie Street Saloon--
Aldermen Meet.

At the meeting of the Board of Alder
men last evening Anthony H. Sauerland
withdrew his application for license
for saloon at No. 7S Erie street. Pro-
tests against the proposed saloon had
been made by the residents Of the neigh
borhood, the Board of Education and sew
eral churches. The Board ordered the
money deposited by Sauerland for Ii
cense fee returned to him. On the recon-
mendation of the Committee on Excise the
Board refused license to B. w. Brown
for a saloon at No. 69 Erie street on the
southwest corner of Fourth street, and
ordered the license fee deposited by him
returned.
A transfer of restaurant license from
No. 156 to No. 15S York street, corner Of
Van Worst street, was granted to Bert
M. Clark, and license was granted to
William Cunningham for a saloon at No.
156 York street, from which place the Ii
cense of Clark was transferred A license
was refused to Elizabeth Bartlett to keep a
saloon corner of Van Worst and Sussex
streets. One restaurant license for No.
% Bowers street and six transfers were
granted, also six peddlers' licenses and
one transfer.
A copy of the preamble and resolution
adopted by the Board of Education, pro-
testing against granting licenses for sa-
looms on the corner of Erie and Fourth
streets in close proximity to No 2 School,
was received and referred to the Com
mittee on Excise, in anticipation of any
future applications for licenses for those
corners.
designations of Cornelius D. Shine and
Thomas Golden as constables respective
ly of the Sixth and Eleventh wards were
accepted. Alfred H. Mansfield was ap-
pointed constable of the Sixth ward, to
fill the unexpired term of Shine.
Building Inspector Kelly applied for
and was granted authority to issue per-
mits to the estate of Bryan Smith to
erect at No. rs Wayne street, on lot 10,
block 273, an addition of II feet on the
present frame wagon shed, making it
% by 40 feet and IS feet high, and to
Caroline Reichinbecker to erect at Jer-
sey avenue and Fourteenth street, on lot
2s, block II, one story frame wagon
shed rs by 40 feet, 16 feet high.
A warrant was ordered to return to
Methan Marcus $3.50, deposited by him
for an auctioneer's license, which he, be-
ing nonresident, could not obtain. For
selling without license he was arrested
and fined $50 by Police Justice Nevin.
Aside from the disposal of the liquor
license cases the meeting of the Board
last evening was barren Of any special
interest except to the holders of claims,
which were ordered paid the majority
being for expenses attending the recent
election. Nineteen members were pres
ent. the six absentees being Aldermen

PRECINCT PRIMARIES.
Ward Association Will Decide That
Question Tonight.

A very short session of the Bergen
Republican Club was held last evening.
President Charles Mason announced that
the Ward Association would meet this
evening for the purpose of deciding the
manner in which the primaries would be
held on December 6, at which the COM
mitteemen would be chosen. Judging
from the present state of affairs, there
will be precinct primaries These conces-
sions are said to have been made by the
ring people, who control the ward af-
fairs If such is the case. there is no
doubt that the anti-ring people will re-
elect all their own people, and perhaps
succeed in shutting out the ringsters.
Eleven places are to be filled and inter-
esting developments are anticipated.
At the business meeting resolutions were
passed lamenting the demise of the late
Vice President and expressing sympathy
for the bereayed relatives. Out of re-
spect for the dead, the club adjourned.

JACKSON AVENUE TROLLEY
Company Will Soon Have
a Line From Ferry to
Stevens Avenue.

The North Jersey Street Railway Com
pany has completed its jackson avenue
system from Communipaw TO Stevens
avenues. Jackson avenue has been paved
between the tracks from Claremont to
Stevens avenues.
Vice President David Young said re-
Gently that the company had not yet de-
clded upon the southern terminal of the
route. The property at the south end Of
jackson avenue is owned by ex4Mayor
Oliver, who has persistently refused to
sell. and, it is said, recently procured an
injunction restraining the trolley company
from extending it's line through has prop
erty.
The trolley company recently purchaser

the city 10 obtain the privilege OF laying
tracks on Monticello avenue, between
Communipaw and Harrison avenues, ana
on iMontlceilo avenue between Fairmount
avenue and Montgomery street. When
these privileges are procured the company
will have a continuous route from tne
Jersey ci5y Terry to Stevens avenue IN the
Greenviiie section, by way OF Montgomery
street, 10 Montlcelo avenue, to COM
munlpaw avenue. TO JACKSON avenue, and
thence to the present terminal al Stevens

The residents of that section of Green
vile are extremely anxious to have the

business section They feel that the new
line would naturally increase the value OF
property and boom business in general.
Mr.. Young recently said that the COM
pany would use its utmost endeavors TO
complete the system, but that it is NOT
probable that cars would be running be-
fore next spring.

SULTAN, A ST. BERNARD,
He Helped the NIothsr SO Brlng Up
Family Of Ixittspss


About twelve years ago we adopted in
to our home handsome St. Bernard
puppy. His father was Merchant Prince,
and his mother belonged to some noted
dog family He was white and yellow
with pretty black points, and he was
gentle and kind. He grew very fast and
came to weigh about 14o pounds. He
was very good to the little children, Of
whom there were some in our home and
many in the neighborhood. He was kind
to other dogs, especially to those smaller
than himself. He was very fond of the
horses and often stayed in the stable.
We have cat. Jappy, named for Madam
Cnika sakurai, our japanese w. e z.
q. sister, who was at our house when
this little kitty was born. I forgot to
say that our dogs name was Sultan
(would that all Sultans were as good as
heD He early took a great liking TO
Jappy. When She was very small ne
would protect her from other dogs not
so friendly to cats as they would have
been had they been rightfully trained at
home. He would sometimes take her
up in his mouth, holding her in the place
between the long front and the strong
back teeth, carry her across the room
or the garden, put her gently down and
lie down beside her. After Jappy grew
up and had little kittens Of her own he
would help her care for them In the
winter when it was cold Jappy and the
kitties would often sleep all night on his
warm, furry back or side. They would
never eat each other food, but were al
ways generous and polite to each other.
He was very much afraid of thunder
and of all loud noises. Sensitive, fine
bred dogs often suffer greatly in this
way. He was always glad when the
Fourth of July was over, His master
and he were very fond OF each other,
and when there was thunder storm
his master would go with him to some
quiet, dark place and wait until the storm
was over.

The danger to telephone users during a
thunderstorm, says an English publica-
tion, is Of the slightest. A storm dis
charge usually strikes not single wire,
but cable or whole line, Of wires at
once; thence, IL moderate In amount, is
promptly diffused over the whole tele-
phonic system and rendered harmless at
any individual point. 1t may, perhaps
have force enough to produce dozen vi
brations Of the striker of the call bell
but usually only one or two. If one wire
alone should be struck or the discharge
be unusually violent. the current Is so
much in excess of the capacity of the
wire that it will either overleap the
small insulatorss and pass down a, post
into the ground or overflow onto the
ground wires. which pass from near
the cable into the ground In readiness
for such an emergency. In America this
incident is extremely common. and one
