CYCLING.
BREWSTER ON CYCLE SHOWS SOMETHING
NEW TO BE LEARNED EVERY DAY.

BREWSTER ON CYCLE HOWS-SOMEIHING
NEW TO BE LEARNED EVERY DAY.
Eve learn something new every day regarding
the bicycle" said Pop" Brewster yesterday Mr..
Brewster has charge Of the combined exhibits OF
the American Bicycle Company at the Cycle Show
at Madison Square Garden. 'The handle to my
would indicate that 1 not a spring chicken
in this game, and yet little things happen nearly
every day which show that 1t takes a long time TO
learn all that Is worth learning In the cycling
world. If you had told ten years ago that 1
did not it all would have had time to give
you civil answer I have always favored shows
for the reason that they bring practically everybody
at all interested in the industry together Now,
it costs a great deal of money to an exhibition
of this sort. particularly when it will be National in
character. this will be. Possibly the manu-
facturers do not reap any direct financial gains
from the exhibitions. but the dealer and the rider
enabled TO store up lot of valuable informa-
ton.
Now return to the point 1 started to make
at the beginning Before accepting place with the
American Bicycle Company 1 was in the bicycle
business in Philadelphia. I started at the bottom
and went clear through 1t. to speak. I like to
ride myself, belong to several clubs and one would
think that I had learned most Of the little details
connected with the wheel Well I met a tiny little
the other day, who only took up cycling
last year. and yet she gave me pointer that every
wheelman ought to know. From her appearance it
would not be difficult to estimate that she was
just as careful of her bicycle she of her
attire.
DO you know, Mr.. Brewster she said That
I often wonder why it Is that people are so
careless with their wheels Comparatively few
riders are frustrated at this date with punctured
tire Such a catastrophe to me when first began
to ride would have made me so nervous that I
should have had to walk my wheel home; Now it
is simply of using little rubber solution,
a rubber plug and binding little tape around the
tire Anybody can do it. But lately many people
using the insulating tape instead of the white
tape generally in use heretofore. When this tape
wears off is pulled off 1t leaves discolOratiOn
the enameled highly polished rim which is
eyesore to those who careful about the ap-
pearance of their wheels. Now, there is a simple
way to prevent this song of the rim and at the
time not affect the binding sticking quality
OF the tape. When the tape is to be wound round
the rim, just place little piece of paper the
rim under the tape. When the tape comes off the
rim is not dscolored a particle

Careful scrutiny of broken automatic car couplers
shows that large proportion of the fractures come
in the 'knuckle," where a hole has hitherto been
left for connecting with old-fashioned lnk-and-
pin coupler. Within few months, however all
roads in this country must by law be fully equipped
with the Janney coupler and allowance for link
and-pin couplerS will be required. "The Railroad
Gazette remarks that that time it will be fea-
sibie to make the knuckle stronger than at pres

broken couplers.
WaldOn Fawcett expresses the opinion in 1.-The
Iron Age" that in the future the shipyards of
the lake region will prove formidable competitors
of those on the Atlantic seaboard. Although there
are no plants on the lakes extensive as at Pha-
dephia and Newport News he insists that some
of the lake builders have more modern mechanism
and are really better qualified to construct vessels
of moderate size-such get through the en-
larged Welland Canal-than the Eastern yards. The
fact that two steamships of the New-York and
Porto Rico Line were built Lake Erie, and
that third ship for the same service is under
construction there, is cited only beginning of
a revolution in the industry.
Great Britain produced nearly three-fourths of
the new shipping built last year The exact figures
which include vessels are: For the world

l163,9l4 tons The United States is credited with

with little more than one-eighth.

THE ANSWER TO GERMANY.

Washington, Oct. i.-The following is the reply of the United States govern ment to the German note received as to the punishment of the Chinese of lenders:
 The secretary of state to the Imper- al German charge.
 "Mcmorandum in response to tn, ir- Quiries made of the secretary of state October 1. 1900, by the imperial German charge d'affaires touching the Chinese imperial edict in regard to the punish ment of Prince Tuan and other high Chinese officials:
 The Chinese minister communicated to the secretary of state, on the second instant. a telegram received by him from Director Geeneral Sheng. convey ing the purport of an imperial edic: dated September 25. 190O by which the degradation and punishment of Prime Tuan and other high Chinese officials is decreed.
 The government of the United States is disposed to regard this measure as proof of a desire of the imperial Chinese government to satisfy the reasonable demands of the foreign powers for the injury and outrage which their lega-
 
 the hands of evil disposed persons ;n China. although it has been thought well, in view of the vagueness of the eGict in regard 10 the punishment which some of the inculpated persons are to receive, to signify to the Chinese min ister the presidents view that it would be most regrettable if Prince Tuan. who appears from the concurrinE testimony of the legations in Pellin. to have heen one of the foremost in the proceedings complained of. should escape such full measure of exemplary punishment as the facts warrant, or if Rang Vi and Chao Shu Chiao should receive other than their just deserts"
 With a view of forming a judgment on these points. the United States minister in Pekin has been instructed to report whether the edict completely named the persons deserving of chas- tisement, whether the punishment plo- posed is in accord with the gravity of the crimes committed. and in what manner the United States and other powers are to be assured that satisfac- tory punishment is inflicted. It is hoped that Mir. Congers replies to these interroga tories will confirm the government of the United States in the opinion which it now shares with the imperial German gov crnment that the edict in question is an important step in the direction of peace and order in China.
