more or less seriously injured, was the
result of velomania pure and simple,
for the accident occurred in the course
of speed trials"
1t should be remembered, however,
that yelomania may in such cases be
definitely ascribed to the desire to win
prizes, or, as is so often the case, to Sc,
cure bonuses offered by the makers of
the various machines in the event that
their autos establish new records But
prizes or dollars do not come into the
account at all so far as the vast ma.
jority of speed enthusiasts are con-
cerned. What may have good deal
to do with it is the ambition to reap a
dubious glory by emulating the feats
of fliers of the Vanderbilt Keene :
Winton- Fournier-C Champion type. Ger
tain it is that the mental microbe"
begins its deadly work so soon as a
man becomes the possessor of an auto
mobile. melting him to feats which in
his normal condition he would not even
dream of attempting. From being con-
tented to amble along the country roads
at staid, conservative pace, he grad
ually increases his gait until he may
finally pat himself on the back in the
consciousness that he is in the same
class with the locomotive.
Pride! That seems to be the basic ele-
ment of the velomania germ. To be
| able to boast that one has travelled a
given distance in minimum time is
undoubtedly great incentive to the
development of velomania. Undoubted-
ly, moreover, there is a certain thrill
a sensational pleasure. in watching the

SNAKES AT A WEDDING.

There are perhaps few people as keen
on innovations as the American, and
this keenness is sometimes carried to
strange lengths. Recently the curator
of the New York Geological gardens,
Raymond Ditmars, was married to a
woman who was as enthusiastic COLI
lector of snakes as her bridegroom. In
order to emphasize this fondness the
skins of cobras, pythons, rattlesnakes
and other reptiles were used at the
wedding in place of floral decorations,
the ceremony taking place in a verb
table bower of snakes skins A living
snake seven feet long was worn by the
bride round her neck, and when the
happy couple settle down in their new
home it is their intention to have sort
of snake farm and, moreover, keep two
large pythons in the house as pets.

E-un in the automobiling world must
convince any reasoning being
that with the development of
the motor car industry has come new
disease. Slowly and insidiously it at

road machines alike until. unless they

vehicles fast as birds can fly along the

crushing the life out of any unfortu-
nate who may be in their path. This
speed madness-velomania is an appro-
pirate term for twas never better ex-
emplified than in the recent Paris
Madrid race, which was stopped at the
end of the first days run after several
people, contestants and bystanders, had
been killed and injured.
Nearly ESQ cars started in the race
and almost from the outset the racers
were hidden from each other and from
the spectators by the clouds of dust
raised in their mad flight. Despite this
they did not for an instant relax their
speed save when passing through "neu-
tralized' territory, and it is recorded
that in a single hour one of the leaders,
Louis Renault, covered SS& miles, COM
pleting the first stage-from Paris to
Bordeaux distance of 343 miles, in
hours and % minutes. Even this
terrific speed record was surpassed. NJ.
Gabriel finishing in hours 10 minutes,

through luck than good management,
since equally capable chauffeurs in
Guiding M. Marcel Renault, the winner
of last years steeplechase over the
Alps, were among the dead and injured.
The race has been aptly described as a

then broken bones, a fractured skull,
death. Worst of all, velomania is dead
iy to others than those whom it directly
seizes, as the graves of many eques-
TRANS and pedestrians bear abundant
testimony.
That velomania is a recognized factor
in present day automobiling is shown
by the way the makers are producing
ever faster machines in response to the
popular demand. 1t is far cry in
speed, but not in years, from the first
automobile long distance races. AS the
figures testify, the winner of the recent
Paris-Madrid contest-or as much of it
as was completed-averaged over &c
miles an hour. In last years famous
run over the Alps from Paris to Vienna
the speed of the motor cars often ex-
ceeded IS miles an hour while in the
Ardennes contest of 1901 a record of
81 miles an hour was made over total
| distance of 31S miles On the other
hand it is not so many years ago that
auto racers were content to average Is
| to 20 miles an hour in distance con-
tests. The difference is further empha-
sized when it is stated that the average
| motor car entering a race nowadays is
l
| hour at the normal rate of the engine,
but by pressing it 100 miles is pos
| Sible.
| The velomaniacs have had warnings
in plenty, but the craze for speed rec
ords continues undated, and it would
seem as though there We're no means
| of absolutely eradicating the disease
| so long as motors and motor cars are
i ;,a
stay there also seems no manner OF

have things all their own way is an
| other question. State and national leg
islation has done much to curb them
and doubtless will do more. But ir
the end it will be found that the great.
| est good can be accomplished by those
who are most interested in the future
of automobiling-the makers and the
automobile societies-for they above al
others have the opportunity to educate
the embryo chauffeur, to teach him tina
the rights of pedestrians, sensible auto
mobilists and other users of the high
way must be respected.
Moreover, theirs should be the tasl
of impressing upon him the necessity o
acquiring thorough understanding o
tempts to make any speed with it, bu
before he undertakes to manage it a
all. AS matter of fact the automobil
list should take lessons in mechanics, s
that before he goes out for a days rul

the least strain, avoiding the spectac
ular methods of sudden starting an

body do not think it would be UP to
them to take the first step toward
lengthening the session. In fact some
members Of the body would much
rather that there be no extension, for
the reason that they know the House
has rushed through some measures
with the sole thought that they would
be buried in the Senate. Final action
win not be forced if there is no extern

The consensus of opinion is that
should the state OF legislation impress
the Governor that added time is neces-
sary, that three days viii be the limit.
Five days is sufficient to pass a bill

rushed through by Saturday.

clusion that the shape of the bill will
prevent the Governor from signing it.
It is said the message will point out
vital defects in the measure and it is
probable that its friends may imme-
diately put on first reading bill to
remedy these. for the purpose of show
