MANIA FOR BLOOD.
Tragedy Narrowly Averted at
Rockport, Mass, Sunday.
James Wood, Mentally Unbalanced,
Tries to Kill Wife and Brother.
suddenly Gives Up Attempt and is Now al
Large in Woods.

Rockport, Mass, Jan. ga repeti-
ton Of the awful Bergen tragedy of
last week was narrowly averted here,
yesterday afternoon, when James
Woods. guided by disordered brain,
attempted to strange his wife and
slay his brother, while his children
would probably have fallen victims to
his mania for blood. Even after his
terrific assault upon his wife and mis-
brother, in which both had a miracu-
lous escape, the local authorities upon
being called in and finding him calm
and tractable, refused to interfere and
left him TO make a second attempt at
wiping out his family. sudden shift
in the current Of his thoughts drove
him from the house and he has not
since been seen.
Woods lived in a house on cove Hill,
and up to this time enjoyed an appar-
emily happy home. He mas frequently
shown signs Of disorder and. las. Sat
urday, when reading the details of the
Bergen tragedy. expressed d hop that
he should never commit such an act.
Yesterday afternoon. while his Wife
was preparing dinner. he rushed into

TO strangle her. His brother John sue

he would have completed his mad work
had not his wife brayely come to the
rescue with towel which she quickly
wound about her husbands neck, with
such a sharp twist that he was forced
To leave his victim.
In the meantime the children whom
he had threatened, were rushed off to
a neighbours house by tn eldest
daughter and the police were notified.
By the time the officer arrived, how

was very calm and subdued. 50 that it

from the deed of blood it is of course
impossible to state, for he suddenly
left his brother gasping on the floor
and rushed from the house into the
wild country behind the town, and up
to a late hour. tonight, had not re-
turned.
John Woods. besides the deep wound
received in his arm, had three ribs
broken in his last struggle with his
brother. while Mrs. Woods bears the
marks on her throat of her frenzied
husbands fingers.

winter Clothing for cycier..

The clothing worn when cycling
should not be heavy, but Il should be
well distributed. The body which is
evenly clothed will experience far
greater amount OF comfort than the one
which is enveloped in heavy garments
overlapping each other, but with hands
and feet only half clothed. No tight
clothing should be worn, as respiration
must be carried on with a closed mouth,
and this is impossible and incompatible
with riding II tight clothing is worn.
IL is very important that this matter
of keeping the mouth closed should be
attended particularly by those who
have any constitutional weakness OF the
chest. The variability OF our atmos
phere demands that rigorous care
should be taken 10 guard against the
insidious effects OF raw, foggy air, for
this. finding its way into the lungs, is
only too apt 10 give a cold which is very
often the forerunner OF disease.

sELF-INFLATING TIRE
An English Invention which, Ao-
cording TO some Authorittess
Has some Real Merit.

The self-inflating tire of James +.
Everett and Arthur Kirkman, of Wall
lington, England, is shown herewith
in longitudinal and in vertical section.
The invention consists, essentially
in providing a metallic or other band,
hereinafter referred TO as the inner
band, between the rim and the pump
ing-tube and another such band here
matter referred TO as the outer band,
between the pumping-tube and the air
tube or pneumatic tire. The inner
band is mounted in the hollow of the
rim and is or may be attached there
TO, the ends being connected or abut-
ting, so as to afford a smooth surface
to the rim, thus affording fiat surface
on which the pumping-tube can oper-
ate and so as not to interfere with the
nipples on the ends of the spokes or
the spokes themselves and TO cover
at the joint. This inner band serves
to raise the pumping-tube away from
any spoke or other holes there may
be in the rim. The inner band can be
made Of aluminium, and is covered with
canvas, as shown. The pumping-tube

I'm suppianting the Cheap and
Useful bicycle

Many day has gone by since we
saw any report Of a new bicycle COM
plant, or, indeed, since we saw any
noteworthy reference to any of the
old complaints. Once upon n time,
you remember, the papers bulged out
with wise dissertations on the bicycle
nose, the bicycle throat, the bicycle
hump in the back, and still other
forms of what might generally have
been classed as cycleritis. All! and
what sport it all was for the poor,
hard-digging paragrapher and the
lazy, conventional cartoonist, with his
feet on the editors tablet But days
and months have passed without
either n new discovery or an old
recrudescence. In fact, about the only
thing worth noticing recently was the
sensational attempt of two New York
women TO ride TO death. One of them
came very near doing il; the other sue
ceeded in getting her pictures into all
the yellowish papers.
However, an odd item came flying up
from the south the other day. A frie2d
ofours down where the cotton and the
sweet potatoes grow believes that the
cycle, like the famous horse that the
Manchurian warrior mounted, is going
backward, scared out Of it's tires by the
complaints to which we have referred
and the rise Of the automobile. 1t is
fact, we admit, that fewer bicycles
arc exported to-day than were export
ed four or five years ago, and we be-
lieve that not so many bicycles are
demanded for domestic use as were n
few years back. These changes are
readily explained by the fact that
manufacturing abroad has been in
creasing and by the other fact tina
cycling over here is no longer in fe-
verish state. A year or two ago the
country was fairly bicycle mad. Now
the people are beginning to appreciate
used to be a fashion. Nowadays II
takes its place as n pleasant recrea-
ton and sterling medicine for thore
afflicted with dyspepsia or the multi
grubs. AS for the old complaints, well
let us say bosh! Some ignorant and
too enthusiastic riders may have
loosened n screw somewhere in their
anatomy, but we do not remember
that specific case of any OF the
forms of the fanciful cycleritis has
ever been demonstrated.

LATEST PARIS FAD.
Motor Weddings Are Now Considered
the Correct Thing by the sweIIs
of the French Capital.

The very latest fad in Partisan So
ciety is the motor wedding. The GUS
tom OF driving TO the church where the
marriage ceremony is 10 be performed
in automobiles, though inaugurated
only month ago, has apparently come
to stay, and n motor wedding is one OF
the leading conditions upon which the
young women of the swell set will en-
terrain proposal Of marriage.
The first of these weddings was given
at the Church Saint German PAuxer-
rois early in November. The bridal car.
gayly decorated in white and gold, and
covered with flowers, driven by the
bridegroom himself, led the procession,
followed by the wedding party in about
20 motor cars OF the very newest de-
sign. The cars were driven at rapid
rate through all the principal streets,
and drew up with loud salute OF whis-
ties at the church door.
After the ceremony the bride and
groom escaped through a side door and
regained their car before the guests
were aware OF their departure. As soon
as IL became known that they had left
the church there was rush for the ears,
and all started in pursuit OF the newly
married pair. The inmates Of the swift
est car soon overlook the car Of the
bride and peited il with rice and flowers.
AS the Others drew up all joined in the
merrymaking, and a large crowd OF Pc
destrians applauded the attack. As
soon as the supply OF flowers was ex-
hausted the cars started of again in pro-
cession, playing popular airs on the
whistles OF the different cars.
