ORIGIN OF BIcYCLE-DIvING.
Feat First Performed by = Roman
Youth on the hanks of the
|-.H River Tfber.

The idea of diving on a bicycle orig
mated with a bright and clever Roman
youth of 22, named Umberto Diamanti
feat which called for nerve and dar-
ing of high order, together with the
ability of powerful and rapid swim
mer. The idea was to ride along the
top Of the artificial embankment of
tho Tiber and plunge into the river be-
yond. The diver must retain control
over the machine, not only after leav-
Ing terra firma and plunging dizzily
into midair, but also during the awful
and breath-catching descent to the
surface of the water. After sinking
deep down with the machine, he must
swim to land with it-a most awkward
and even dangerous "rescue" to effect
when beyond ones depth. Thus 1t may
be seen that the contest was one which
called for more than the average
amount of physics endurance, as well
as for a steady head and mistaken
nerve, says Pearson's Magazine.
A very interesting contest was ar
ranged between young Diamanti as a
cyclist and his rival, Borghi, on foot.
This weird and extremely novel race
was easily won by the iron-nerved
cyclist, both as regards time and clean
jumping.
There was tremendous excitement
jrss before the race came off, and dense
crowds lined the high embankment
that skirts the Tiber. The excitement
was quite at fever heat when the order
was given-"Gol" and both cyclist and
foot runner started off at terrific
pace. 1t seemed hardly possible that
any sane man could deliberately ride
bicycle over so appalling precipice;
but, what Is much more remarkable.
Sig. Diamanti not only did this. but
actually retained his presence oamind
throughout the entire descent through
the air as well as on striking the water,
and even beneath the surface, for he
brought his troublesome mount to land
with little or no exertion, amid the
frantic applause Of the spectators.

Underground Mountains

The conductors Of the Trigonometri.
cal survey in India have made a singu-
lar discovery They have reason to
believe that there is in the middle Of
India an underground or buried,
mountain range, thousand miles in
length, which lies parallel with the
lIimalayas. The conclusion is based
on the peculiarities Of the local attrac-
ton Of grayltation, the plumb-line be-
ing detected southwark on the north
side OF the supposed underground
chain, and northward on the south side.
The inference is that great elongated
mass Of rock Of excessive density un-
derlies the two observing stations.

SOUP FOR BREAKFAST.
A Novel Expo rime to lie Tried on
the Soldiers OF the Preach
Army.


Soup for breakfast may be. the lat st
thing from France.
II was tried last year in the army
when it was issued to the men In one
or two units in the morning in place
Of coffee, and this altera ton was so
much liked by the soldier, and gave
such satisfactory hygienic results, 1t
has been determined TO give 1t a more
extended trial. Accordingly, an order
has been issued by the minister Of war
that until August 81 next soup RAJ
ton shall be issued 10 all ranks in
the Sixth army corps, instead Of coffee,
every day excepting Saturdays and

DOCTORS IN ONE BLOCK.
Sixty-Five NEEDLES Have Theis
shingles Out In That Space
In Philadelphia.

New York has the most thickly pop
ulated block in the United States, and
many curious congregations of mel
may be seen in its street. But Phila.
delphia has the prize block for one
species of aggregation. Sixty five
physicians live in one block in that
city. 1t is also stated that within
a radius of four blocks In that city
more than one-seventh of It's medical
practitioners is located, reports the
New York Herald.
From the tendency Of physicians
and dentists to congregato in one
street certain blocks of this city pre-
sent an almost unbroken array OF
doctors signs upon the house fronts
1t might seem to casual observer
that none but members of the medl-
cal profession reside there.
In Chestnut street, Philadelphia, be-
tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets, this is almost literally true.
sixtyfive physicians have Offices
there. Many of the most prominent
practitioners located there many
years ago, and younger physicians
have of late years been attracted
thither. Another factor in the surfeit
IS the area mentioned Is almost the
center of the city.
Yet neither in Philadelphia nor
New York are there as great NUM-
Der of physicians in proportion to
the population as there are in the
District of Columbia.

Early in September reports are TO

OF all units and by the medical officers,
as to the results Of this substitution Of
soup for coffee, and the commanding
officer Of the Sixth army corps is to

thereon to the minister of war, with a
view to the alteration of the ration,
or, If it should seem advisable, some
modification thereof being adopted

There are number of women OF the

of accomplishments by which they
created quite new industry in beads,
which IRE sent over to this country

A lady who wanted to earn some
money about nine months ago directed
her attention to copying In inexpensive
materials the lovely and very costly
muir chains. so called, of gold ana jew
els, from which some fashionable wo-
men hung gold mesh purses. pencil
cases and charms and others threaded
through their muffs and suspended
round their necks. She managed TO
procure what beads she needed some
where and offered also to make mp la-
dies own materials, to use dressmak-
ing phrase, whereupon jewel cases
were ransacked for treasures in the
form of quaint beads of all kinds and
size, pearls, amber, corals and onyx.
Other women soon took up the chain
