Mark Riable, a veteran of the Civil

the past week at the Soldiers Home in

reefs that one dollar be paid to the son,
George Riable, and that all the residue
of the estate be paid to friend, John
Balm. Mr.. Balm is also named as
executor of the will without bond.
The property left by the old soldier
consists of 5000 IN money which is now

not probable that the son will contest

EVOLUTION OF THE wheel, ,,
Development of the Bicycle Since the
Centennial Exposition.
from the Boston Advertiser


The general agreement that the quarter
centennial of bicycling comes this year has
stirred up renewed interest in the history
of "the wheel" Many questions are warmly
disputed. But differences of opinion win
mostly be found to arise from lack of uni
formity in the point of view. Much de-
pends on whether we attempt to trace the
history from its earliest and crudest begin
nings, or confine ourselves to the twenty
five years since bicycling riding began to
be pleasure for many people, not alone
for a few adventurous experimenters
The most judicious writers on the history
of the Wheel attribute its success in this
country to the centennial exhibition held in
Philadelphia in 1876. Many visitors to that
worlds fair distinctly remember having
seen among the most curiously observed
exhibits in Machinery Hall two or three
which, from the fact of it's having enly two
wheels, came about that time or soon
after, to be called by the new name of .'bi-
cycle
In the cen tennial year there probabIv
were not one hundred persons in the IJuited
States who could ride that strange vehicle
They who could do so were mostly enter
prising, athletic and acrobatic young men
who were In some way employed with a
view OF demonstrating its possibilities and
opening market for 1t. Visitors to Pfila-
deiphia from all parts OF the United states
and from many parts of Europe, carried
home with them enthusiastic stories of the
wonderful invention. A few had seen IL in

To one who knows what the vast soli-

WHITE STAR LIME
NEW STAMP CRAZE.
British Colonials Are Bringing Greatly
Advanced Prices.

From the London Express.
Many celebrated collectors are just now
concentrating their energies on collections
Of staNps Of the Victoria era. Such a col
lection possesses singular interest, for it
will not only illustrate the artistic progress
| that has been made in designs since the in
auguration of the postage stamp, but 1t
will also demonstrate in a fascinating fash
ion the expansion of the British empire.
Il take 1t there were about 90, 900 distinct
and representative issues throughout the
British empire during the reign of Queen
Victoria said F. R. Gin, the well-known
stamp dealer of 143 Strand, W. c., to an
Express representative. This number" he
added. docs not. Of course, include varia-
tions Of type or other trivial peculiarity.
Already there is a run on Victorian stamps
OF a high value. For instance, a Cancelled
f5 stamp selling few weeks ago for -2os
IS now worth 35s An absolutely perfect
collection of the Victorian era would have
to include British Guiana ping circular
stamp. which it is practically impossible to
purchase in the open market, and the
Mauritius post office stamp, which is worth
several hundred pounds sterling.
Among stamp collectors there Is a grow
ing tendency to specialize. l have found
that the demand for foreign stamps has
been growing less for some time past.
whereas British colonial stamps have never
been SO greatly sought after AS almost
province of the British empire has its own
issue on which the sovereign's head ap-
pears. the accession of King Edward will
practically inaugurate an entirely new
epoch in philately. I have received de-
mands from all parts of the empire for the
new issues Of English stamps.
1T is a noteworthy fact that alongside
this increasing demand for colonial stamps
Is an equally great one for those of the
United States We anticipate a big de-
mand for the new American stamp bearing
the head of the late President Mckinley.
Among other new stamp issues probable in
1902 are those of Germany, necesSitated by
the kingdom of Wurtemburg relinquishing
it's right to issue its own stamps. The
Russian government, 1t seems, has decided
to mark the 200th anniversary Of the foun-
dation Of st. Petersburg. Prince Ferdi-
nand's head will soon figure on the stamps
Of Bulgaria in place Of the lion familiar
to the collector. A special coronation
stamp was issued. too, when the young
King Alphonso of Spain was crowned"

WAR ON TUssoCK MOTH.
Brooklyn Park Department Extermi-
mating Foliage Destroyers.

From the New York Tribune.
For several days all the available men in
the Brooklyn park department have been
warning on the tussock moth. Walter w.
Hoover, who has made a study of the in
sect pests is in charge of the work He
says that with his force of men he can ac-
compIish better results by fighting the
worms in their present shape. Park Com
missioner Young has put every available
man at his service.
In the smaller trees it is usually possible
to reach all the nests with the long-handled
brushes, but on the big trees, such as line
the Ocean parkway, the men are compelled
to climb high up in the branches. All the
cocoons and the nests can be destroyed
With the steel brushes, but the eggs them
elves are picked off and dropped into
pail containing kerosene and burned The
pest seems to be more numerous along the
roadway and the edges of the park. and
the tr S in the interior of the park are
compai tpively free.
Large numbers of complaints from citi
zens have reached the park department of
the ravageS of the worms on private shade
trees. They appear to think that since the
trees have been put under the jurisdiction
of the department men will be sent out to
spray private trees and kill the worms.
Commissioner Young, however, has all and
more than his force can attend to on park
property.
Mr. Hoover said yesterday that the chill
dren and citizens should be encoura ged to
fight the worms just at the present time
inasmuch as the most effective results can
be accomplished before the eggs are hatch
ed out He added:
I'm Brooklyn there are annually two
broods of the tussock moth. The first brood
of caterpillars have spun their cocoons, and
in many places the adult moths have
emerged and deposited their eggs. These
eggs are Matching now The eggs of this
first brood were noticed by me first on July
II. and those eggs Matched July "a. From
this it is plain that eggs deposited on or be-
fore July II are now little caterpillars
Most OF the eggs, however. were not laid
until after that date, and it Is not too late
yet to destroy them.- The eggs appear as
white masses. chiefly on the rough bark of
the tree trunk and larger branches. They
may also be found on the sides of houses,
on fences, or on any rough place which af-
fords some hiding place or protection to
the cocoon. The female moth almost in
varlably deposits her eggs right where she
emerges, so you may expect to find the egg
masses wherever there are cocoons. The
eggs can be easily picked off the tree, then
burned. Simply scraping or picking them
on Is not sufficient, as they can hatch quite
as Well on the ground. Any child can do
this work, and If some slight reward is
offered to the one who collects the most
collecting them, and the trees will soon be
free. The park department is doing this
kind of work on the park trees but, having
no appropriation for work of this kind on
street trees, is unable to do ANYTHING in
that line this season"

REFORMED POWDER.
Promised Reduction in Noise of Report

From the Rrooklvn Eagle.

Hlpbh tif b4p'h4gR I@iNif-
BY the reduction Of caliber and the In
crease in expansive force of the gasses gen
Grated in the combustion OF powder, il IS
believed TO be possible to reduce the length
and weight of the small arms now in use.
At all events, experiments are in progress,
looking to that end. If the infantry arm
can be curtailed 10 the dimension of the
cavalry carbine the effectiveness of the
troops will be increased, because each sol
der Will have the less of a burden to carry,
and he can, therefore, last longer in the
fight and on the march. A new manual will
be devised to Mt the shortened arm, and it
is not impossible that the bayonet will dis
appear, for hand-to-hand fighting is prac-
tically thing of history. and is likely to
happen, In these times, only in the case of
an ambush or an unexpected contact Of
moving columns.
More imqortant-if true-than the change
in the form OF the rife is the dis
covery of French chemist relative to a
reduction of noise in the report We have
nearly done away with smoke, and IL noise
can be lessened that the report will be
