But the straight wall" is only the
beginning Of the Eek globe. The rid
er's body becomes horizontal with the
floor as a mere matter of preliminary
warming up exercise in this newest
OF sensations.
Then. seemingly in defiance OF all
the laws of gravitation. the man on
the wheel begins to steer up beyond
the center band, the point OF the per-
pendicular. Little by little he goes
higher and higher. the radius OF the
circles becomes less and less. and
finally, his head almost directly be-
meath his feet riding in a circle bare
ly two wheels in circumference, he
suddenly shoots down into the bot
tom of the sphere. passes up the 9TH
err side and over the very top, making
a complete loop"
His speed is tremendous, sufficient
to carry him through this maneuver
half dozen times. Gradually he
makes the loops further and further
away from the two poles at the top
and bottom, and finally brings him
self to the perpendicular position
again riding around the center band
The accomplishment of the act lies
wholly in the speed attained by the
rider. The centrifugal force neces-
snry to hold the wheel against the CEN
ter band is reached only with speed
OF thirty miles an hour. With every
foot above this point the increase in
speed necessary to throw the rider
against the concave surface of the
globe is considerable. When riding
