BICYCLE IN HISTORY.
What Future Generations Would Think of the Wheel It It Should
 Really and Truly Pass.

Inspired by the renewed activity in the League of American Wheelmen, the Jersey Citx News has this to say of the future of the bicycle:
 The history of the bicycle reads like fairy tale. Ten thousand years hence the plainest statement of the facts of it's origin, development, uses it serves, and the place it occupies in our civilization will be regarded by the scholars of that time as we of to- day regard Plato's story of Atlantis or the fable of Deucalion. That men and women could sit balanced on a wheel of wire, braced and corded like 8 spiders circular miracle which it fashions in the witching hours of night, and on it sitting, outrun the horse, outspeed the dog and go flying down wooded lanes with the flight of bird, will be reckoned as a myth that haunts the imagination and laughs at the guessing of the wise What, for improbability, can equal this strange and weird creation oi mans inyentiveness? Or what SC elusively mock human belief when once it has passed into oblivion and losing all record as fact has become merely a vague tradition?
 And if amid the ruins of some ole library fragment of a manuscript should be discovered which told how it was used by rich and poor alike how it was adopted into armies, add. ed to the splendor of great public pageants, obliterated castes so thai princes and peasants rode side by side in public parks, contributing to popular health and happiness beyond any other single invention of the world, what wonder and astonish- ment that old-time long buried docu- ment would catise among the then existing peoples on the earth!-

After acquiring the usual preparatory course he entered the Washington university of St. Louis, from which great institution he grad- uated with honors. After his gradua- tion and just prior to attaining his majority he accepted a position in the employ of his father Erastus F.
