Berlin, Dec. "a member of the en-

CYCLE CAB FOR PLEASURE OR
BUSINESS.

James G, Anderson. a Chicago inven-
tor. has turned his attention to the
designing of a vehicle which is adapted
TO carry two persons through the
physical eXertions of only one. The
inventor states that the machine will
be found useful in cities and towns
for the purpose of conveying pas
songer comfortably and economically
to.aay locality eNpcditiously. The per-
son who propes the machine also has
fun control of the steering which is
accomplished by turning the front
wheel exactly as though it were the
forward wheel OF an ordinary bicycle.
and the driver is also expected to
maintain the cab in an upright posi-
tion when at rest. in order that the
passenger may seat himself or alight
in perfect safety. The vehicle Is COM
posed of two frames, which are hinged
TO each other, with the handle bars
attached at the rear of the forward
frame, causing the wheels to turn in
opposite directions and aid In main
taining the equilibrium of the ma
chine.
