Motor for the Bicycle.

The large majority of those who a
few years ago took up cycling as an
amusement have been unable to re-
place the bicycle with the automo-
bile. now that the latter has made its
appearance, and have had to be con.
tent to stick to the wheel or find some
other form of pastime to AFFORD exer-
else and occupy their spare moments.
AS a slightly cheaper vehicle than
number of these machines may be
seen every day in populated districts,
but heretofore no provision has been
made for attaching motor to the old
bicycle and 1t has been necessary to
provide an entirely new frame to car
ny the engine which propels the cycle.
The usual method of mounting the
motor for running the two-wheeled
machine is to place It IN circular
frame In the position occupied by the
crank shaft in the regular bicycle.
However, this is made unnecessary
by the invention which we illustrate.
which makes possible the use of the
old machine with motor attachment.
We would suggest. nevertheless. that
Che rear wheel be replaced by one of
slightly stronger build, as the in
creased weight and the force of the
motor win soon expose any weakness
which may exist in spokes or rim. As
the motor is shown there is little, II
any, added strain placed on the tubu-

Combined Cane and Chair.

While there really seems to be
comparatively little use for the in
vention we illustrate in the picture,
yet the designers Of novelties continue
to turn them out, each little differ
ent from the other and more or less
cumbersome and unhandy to carry
about. The chief difficulty in a de-
vice Of this character is to supply a
seat Of sufficient strength to support
the person, without at the same time
involving the addition Of so much ma
terial to the cane that it becomes too
heavy to be conveniently carried
about in the hand. The favorite meth
cd of designing this combination is to
split the stick and utilize the parts
to support a canvas seat, the latter
being folded up and contained in the

SEVENTEEN MORE TRUE BILLS
Governments Attorneys Have Heavy
Business Ahead.

ditional indictments against persons
said to be implicated in the postoffice
frauds have been turned over to
Charles j. Bonaparte of Baltimore.
who has been retained by the govern
ment to aid in the prosecution Of
nearly two score of its employees. Mr..
Bonaparte declared that the cases in
which indictments are returned by
the grand jury viii be pushed as
rapidly as the evidence at hand wifi
permit
While the officials refuse to disclose
the name of the four remaining per-
sons who were indicted yesterday,
II is said none of them is or has been
connected with the postoffice depart
ment and that one is a man of much
prominence.
From the people in the car the cry
went up: "A woman has fallen in a
faint" The conductor paled. "Heav-
ens," he exclaimed; what will the
company say when they learn she had
room to fall?" Then he burst into
tears, for he had a family to keep and
sorely needed his job.
A dentist in Moscow is a wonder in
his line. He has invented a system by
which false teeth can be made to adj
here to the gums so firmly that in
three months it is difficult TO extract
them. This Russian tooth-grafter
hopes in time to be able to rival ma
ture by making artificial grinders that
ache.
"How is that young man who was
subsisting on a borax diet?" ''In fine
condition" answered the man who
was conducting the food experiments:
"the only danger is that he will spoil
his digestion with ice water and milk
before his vacation is over, and he
gets back to chemicals"
