Hanlon's First Bicycle.
.om the Chicago 1nter-Ocean.

From the Chicago lnter-Ocean
1t is an historical fact that one Of the
original Hanlon brothers brought the first
bicycle to America. The vehicle was not
called bicycle, but it was the ancestor or
the bicycle, known then, or little later,
perhaps as the ''velocipede.' The facts,
as recited by William Hanlon, one of tho
oldest of the surviving brothers, are inter-
estng and as follows:
In the fifties the Hanlon brothers were in
their prime There were six Of them then,
ana their daring aerial acrobatic PERFORM
arces were considered sensational They
had already made one or two excursions to
America from their home in England, and
during one Of their tours through France
Frederick Hanlon now many years dead,
came upon a performer in a small travel
ing circus who vas using a tW0-wheeled
machine in tricks that seemed to defy the
laws of gravitation. The wheels We're pro-
vided with a handlebar for steering, but
were without pedals other means of
propulsion except by pushing with the feet
on the ground. Still some graceful tricks
could be executed upon it by vaulting into
the saddle and over it, much in the same
manner as trick bicyclists do nowadays
Hanlon, who then his way to
America, bought the machine and brought
il with him. But he had the front axle
provided with pedals The first engage
ment of the Hanlons after landing was at
the old Boston Theater, Bost on. and by way
of an advertisement Frederick Hanlon gave
an exhibition on his Velocipede on Boston
Common. 1t is said the performance was
viewed with amazement by not less than
1o,Wo people. But it was the first time a
two-w heeled vehicle of this kind was ever
used in this country.

Berlin. She Is now under engagement to

tract that enables her to appear In this
country. Suzanne Adams, one of the prfn-
cipal sopranos of the Grau Opera Com
pany, is an American. hailing from Cam
bridge, Mass. Her debut was made at the
Paris Opera in 1894, In the role Of Juliette.
She remained there three years. singing
such parts as Gilda and Marguerite. She
has four times had the honor Of singing
at the state concerts at Buckingham Pal
ance, London, also privately before her
late majesty, Queen Victoria at Windsor.
Her voice is clear, pure soprano. resonant
and invariably true to the pitch. A COM
bnation Of two such artists as Schumann-
Heink, the greatest Of all contraltos. and
Suzanne Adams, in one recital Is unusual.

The Elevator Car.
From Casters Magazine.

From Casters Magazine.
The general form and proportions Of cars
in New York are greatly at fault. In the
first place, their carrying capacity is COM
monty fixed by some structural arrange
ment Of the steel cage, some architectural
fancy or assumption Of a passenger per
floor. None Of these elements have any
bearing on the proper proportions. When
a properly proportional service Is MAIN
tanned the desirable area Of the car is af-
fected much more by its shape than by it's
capacity. Nearly all cars are too deep, and
narrow entrances are the rule, SO that time
and travel are lost by passengers struggling
in and out. Cars whose width exceeds their
depth. and the doors of which fold back
as nearly the full opening possible are
more convenient ard economical than such
affairs as are to be seen in most of the
leading Office buildings. The deep embra-
sures in which many car entrances are
placed are also a distinct tax on the SER
vice, obstructing the prompt access of pas
sengers and the vision OF the operator

The Smallest Painting.

From the Kansas City Journal.
A Flemish artist has produced what Is
said to be the smallest painting in the
world. 1t Is a picture Of a miller mount
ing the stairs of his mill and carrying a
sack of grain on his back. The mill Is de-
picted as standing near a terrace. Close at
hand are horse and cart, with few
groups of peasants idling In the road near
by. All this is painted on the smooth side
of q grain of ordinary white corn. 1t is
necessary to examine 1t under a microscope
and it is drawn with perfect accuracy.

SOME SCHOOL FIGURES
The School Ma'am Winning Her
Way Against Schoolmaster.

The school ina am is abroad in the
land and the schoolmaster is venturing
forth less and less each year. If John w.
Olsen state superintendent of public in
struction, st. Paul, has found the right
answer to his recent "sufns." - He says
that there were two-and-a-ahaf WON len
to one man among Minnesota teachers
forty years ago. Now there are four-and-
a-third women to every male instructor.
Average salaries have increased much
more proportionately for women than for
men, but the man is still paid about $40
more a month than his intellectual sister.
She received sS.9S monthly in 1852 and
now she receives 1914. He accepted
$1s:3s in 80 and he receipts for $4346
in or ~ = 20
In the common school service there
are now 1913 of him and 1882 of her. as
against $50 and 500 two score years ago.
But in the independent and special
school districts" both men and women
especially the women, now earn greater
remuneration than their comrades of the
common schools. There are 361 males in
such districts at an average salary OF
$3.50 a month and 1873 females at a
salary of $44.87. -
From 1862 to 1902 the number of pupils
has increased from 1850 to 414,671; the
| number of schoolhouses from 5S5 to
8,598; the value Of the schoolhouses from
$685. to $17,7O4, 446.

TO GUARD MILK SUPPLY
Closer Inspection of Diaries Near
Twin Cities Is Ordered.

The dairies that supply milk to the 1885,
900 residents Of Minneapolis and St. Paul
will receive hereafter something more
than nominal inspection. Commission
er Mcconnell of the state dairy and food
department has instructed George ].
Staples to devote his whole time to the in
specting of twin city diaries. Although
there are 700 dairies and milk "depots
from Kenwood to Newport, Mr.. Staples
has been able to give them little atten-
ton. One call year has been all he
could make on the average. This will
be changed. Second calls will be made
by Inspector Staples to ascertain that all
improvements recommended on first calls
are promptly carried out. Strict rules
recently adopted for the regulation Of
dairies will be enforced. The lighting,
ventilating and draining of barns will be
improved. Milk will be kept in build
ing entirely separate from stables. Such
precautions, it Is thought, will greatly
diminish the number of cases of typhoid
fever and other infectious diseases among
the dairy patrons.

to explain, because In many In
stances the demand Is not increased
In proportion to the supply. The
demand may be anticipated In a
speculative way, and 1t may be an
ticipated through the cool calcula-
tons of wholesalers and retailers
who determine to make up their
losses from the decreased sales OF
one article by securing greater prot
Its from the sales Of others. Which
ever the case, the effect Is the same
so far as the consumer Is concerned.
Such conditions mean a great
deal to the laboring men OF the
country. The quantity, quality
and price of nutritious food In this
country have had much to do with
making the American workman
the superior of his com petitors the
world over. Meats have enters d
largely into his diet, more so than
into the diet of laboring man In
any other country. The increase
In the price of meats IS a direct
blow to American lator, and 1t
ought to be met by the President
with all the law that Is at his COM
mand. If differential rates on the
railroads have enabled the Beef
Trust to reap golden harvest at
the expense of the consumer, they
should quickly be abolished,
whether they prevent the cattle
raisers from marketing their herds,
or competitive packing houses from
shipping their products. If the
claim of the Beef Trust, that Is
forced to put up prices on account
of the scarcity of cattle, Is well
founded, the facts should be es'
tablished as quickly as possible.
