Hooley in the medical line were to
secure a corner on spl.nts, bandages.
and lotions in anticipation Of what is
almost certain to happen 20 the young
er generation OF British lions as re-
suit of the fever of excitement into
which Snyder has thrown them.
Snyder is not only the originate: OF
the somsrsault trick, but he is likewise
the only performer who can clear a
distance Of twenty-five feet through
the air with his wheel. His control
of the bicycle is remarkable, for in
the most complicated mancuvers he
never loses his seat, grip or footing.
He is a fair. thickset, athletic-looking
young man OF 25. Like most Ameri-
cans who hame made hit over there,
he likes London immensely. Asked
how he came to engage in trick rid
ing professionally, he said:
We'll. you see, l was always very
fond Of my wheel-preferred it. in fact,
to anything in the world; and | soon
learned to do such out-of-the-
tricks with it that took to profession

the thing. That was in 1896, and new

well, l never do less than half an
hour morning. For one thing, you
see, I am constantly improving myself
and new tricks are not learned in a
day, especially mine, for I am called

80 l have had machines smash under
me by the dozen; but so long as don't
break, it's all right. You see, my tricks
are mostly very sensational ones, and
what adds to my difficulties is the fact
that l often have to perform on very
small stages-from a cyclists point OF
view. At Birmingham | often heard
members of the audience betting ten 10

appoint them, you know, but couldn't
help doing it all the same; could II"
Have you ever had any accidents"
Yes; for instance, at Noting Hill

ways manage to come out on top
somehow. The worst ever had. how
ever-for swollen shins count for moth
ing-was when l was beginning to get
into the somersault trick for fell on
my head and got my neck twisted. 1t
was like this for three days"
He let his head fall on one side till it
touched his right shoulder.
How long does it take you 10 learn
tricksr'
1T all depends. I was the first to
introduce one-wheel riding with safe
ty, while nobody before my time
dreamed of climbing tables with cycle
or jumping. To begin with progress
seemed bit slow. but once fairly un-
der way the new feats did not take so
long to learn. For instance, it took
me nine months to learn to make my
machine hop sideways up dozen
stairs and drop ten feet sheer on the
other side. got my legs and ankles
cut several times, too, and had to take
special exercises in order to strength
en- my bones to stand the shocks.
'Curiously enough, although am
the originator of somersaults on safe
ties, it only took me twelve weeks to
learn. At the time everybody thought
was mad; for the chances OF break
ing ones neck are quite surprising. II
ever I touch the table with my head
that is bound to be the result!
Though you might not think it, div
ing off my mount in motion into a
tank is one Of the riskest things I do.
Indeed friend of mine named Ferrell
got killed in attempting it."
Bud Snyder can do so many wonder
full things that he does not require to
do one trick at time. For instance.
one of his feats-perhaps the most
marvelous-consists in starting from
one end of the stage, jumping his ma
chine on to an ordinary table, riding
down some steps at the other end, do
ing a clean somersault over another
table. landing on the other side, still
riding his bicycle. and up a spring
board, from which he dives off his ma
chine while it is in motion, plunging
into tank of water ahead

An epidemic Of suicide appears to be
one Of the evil results OF the Paris
EXPOSITION. The number Of suicides in
Paris is very large at present and the
chief cause is thought to be the general
retrenchment following the exposition,
which has thrown many people out OF
work. Throughout France, however,
suicide seems to have been increasing
for some time. In the five years
ended January l, 1901. the number a
suicides was no less than $1,000.
