THE MOTOR BICYCLE.
The Missing Link Between the Auto.
mobile and the Bike"

Only few years ago 1t would have
been impossible to secure an efficient,
safe and practical motor cycle. IT is
only within the last two years that
this special industry has shed its ex-
perimental swaddling clothes. 1t is
now at stage when the standardiz-
ing of essential features. the inter
changeability of parts and the COM
parative unanimity OF design have put
it on practical mechanical and
commercial basis.
France led the way. She was the
first to produce a practical motor
cycle. In England, where the three
wheeler has always been popular, the
makers were quick to follow suit. In
this country three notable bicycle
manufacturers produce mechanically
successful patterns of motor tricycles,
which, however, failed to attract the
public, doubtless for the reason that
the three-wheeler has never been a
favorite here. The motor bicycle, how
ever supplies the hitherto missing
link" between the bicycle and the au.
! tomobile, between the poor and the
rich of the speeding sport. 1t makes
its owner feel that he is still a wheel
man in spite of the snorting motor on
! his wheel and when automobiles of
much larger horse power try to pass
him in vain on the road he is pleas
antly reminded that he is in 1t and
able to hold his own among the swift
company of automobiles. That, too
has something to do with the popular
ity of the motor bicycle. 1t is far
cheaper to operate than the smallest
launch, 1t is much less liable to gel
out of order than the most reliable
|! type of horseless vehicle, and IL Is
! the swiftest and most economic We
hicle known in proportion to weight
carrying capacity and fuel consump-
/ ton.
A motor bicycle weighing only 60
pounds. of IL horsepower, viii cas-
lily and safely carry man weighing
1870 pounds across the average kind of
country road at maintained speed
of rom 20 to rs miles an hour The
automobile has not been built which,
weight for weight, and proportionate
power, could come anywhere near this
performance When IL is considered
that the factor of safety in steel
bridges is four, or, In other words,
that a bridge to be safe must be
strong enough to sustain four times
the sum of its own weight and the
live load, the fact that the motor cycle
is able to carry three times its own
weight and over, in addition to pro-
polling this load at rate of speed
prohibited on most bridges, and by
virtue of comparatively small horse
power, we begin to appreciate the
amount of practical science involved
in the building Of the motor cycle.
When the English Singer motor
cycle was first introduced IL was ridi-
culed as toy of very little practical
, use. Wheelmen jeered at the idea of
comprising the motive power within
the front steering wheel, and automo-
bilists don't ride motor cycles. Il
was soon found, however, that this
unsightly but reliable machine would
carry its passenger over British roads
at 20-mile clip. with no material
| drawback except the liability of the
steering wheel to be jerked from side
to side in traversing rough pieces of
road.--ScieDtific American.

Precautions Against Hydrophobia.

There is no hydrophobia in Great
Britain, the authorities say, because
of the stringent rules of the board of
agriculture, chiefly as regards muz-
cling. The muzzling ordinances have
been repealed, but importers OF dogs
and travellers with dogs will still have
hard time of IT for awhile. A six
months quarantine of animals will be
demanded after March IS, 1902, in or.

Of aboiishing only a portion OF the war

There is considerable criticism OF the
House over the way 1t dumped the war
tax repeal bill on the Senate. There Is
common complaint IN the House that the
Senate treats the popular branch Of Con-
gress with little or no consideration, and
that It compels the House to accept such
legislation as 1t sees At to propose. In

We find this in an exchange:

In the course of a recent address in
London Mrs. Kendall said that modest
actresses should wear some kind of a
uniform of the stage, after the manner
of the Salvation Army. as a mark to
distinguish them from the overdressed
member Of the profession.
Mrs. Kendars desire to separate or dis
tinguish the theatrical sheep from the
goats, SO to speak, may or may not be
commendable. but we are curious to know
how her suggestion is going to accom-
piish the desired result. Would she
have the uniform patented. so that none
but modest actresses" can wear it? If
not how long would ii be before all the
other actresses would be wearing the
same uniform? And if it were patented.
who would decide who were and were
not entitled to wear 1t? Evidently Mrs.
Kendall would find herself against a hard
proposition

BY WAY OF EXPLANATION.

The Norfolk vifginian-Pilot 10 mis-
taken in thinking that The Advertiser
was guying 1t for its somewhat strenuous
remarks on the subject of Federal cleo
ton law, and remarks:
So far from being red hot, The Virgin
ian-Pilot was as cool as an iced cucum-
ber-yea as coon as the proposition to
spend 100000 on the coosa River. 1t
was but stating what every intelligent
student Of the last thirty-five years Of
history in the South knows to be fact.
And why should the press Of the South
refrain from stating the facts as they
are?
Leaving out the Coosa River. which is
as a red rag to a mad bull to our ,Vir-
ginia brethren, we assure The Pilot that
we are as much and as bitterly opposed
as 1t can possibly be to any law which
would authorize Federal interference with
our elections. Neither do we, nor have
we, assumed any ''semi-apologetic atti-
tude" on the negro question. On the
contrary The Advertiser Is frequently the
subject of censure because 1t disdains to
mince words when speaking OF the intoi-
erance and impertinence displayed by
some Northern people when speaking OF
the negro or Of Southern affairs. We oil
Alabama have had "a gorgeous sum-
cheney" Of negro domination. carpet-bag'
gers and Federal interference in oui
domestic affairs. We spoke somewha,
banteringly of The Pilots evident temper
because we do not believe there will bt
any serious attempt to either control oul
elections or cut down our representation
That there are some Republicans WHIT
would stop at nothing to harass ane
humiliate the Southern people is not t.
be disputed, but we see nothing to indi
cate that such men can secure follow
ing which will enable them to accom-
plish their desires.
