balanced. The upright position of the
motor and rider is maintained by
means Of eight small wheels which
travel upon tracks fixed upon the inner
side of the main rim. While these
wheels render the position Of the
motor frame and seat independent OF
the rotary motion Of the rim, the seat
also retains vertical position indie
pendent Of the frame. To produce this
effect the seat is suspended between
two standards, which in turn slide lat
orally across the motor casing.
When travelling at leisure along
country roads the rider extends the
auxiliary wheels toward the rear On
on each side Of the main wheel, thus
converting the machine into tricycle.
but when it is desired to attain high
speed or to cross uneven country he
draws them within the large wheel
and rides upon a single tire. The aux
iliary wheels can also be extended 50

which position they are mainly intend
ed to serve as stays to hold the vehicle
in an upright position when at rest.

On top of this knowledge comes ina
news from Canada that 1t has been
found practically impossible to garri-
son the Notifications at Halifax and
Esquimault with Canadian troops. 1t
is probable that both in Canada and
the United States the condition respon-
sible for this reluctance of young men
to enlist Is the very condition of ma
tional prosperity which both countries
are glad to record. The Industrial and
commercial opportunities In America
to-day are SO numerous and widespread
that very much more generous induce
ments than are now held out to young
men, apparently, must be offered to
persuade them to abandon the civil
for the military life.

Motor Monocyc1e Designed by New
York Man.


Motor Monocycle Designed by a New
York Man.
A motor monocycle OF strange de-
sign and for which great things are
claimed has been invented by Oswald
Jensen, of New York. In appearance
this travelling machine Is unlike any
other vehicle in use to-day. Within
huge wheel equipped with pneu-
matte tire Is suspended a seat on
which the driver rides. The advan-
tages claimed for this queer motor
carriage by its inventor are many. 1t
offers not only a new and easy method
Of rapid speeding overland, but 1t
opens avenues of travel that are closed
to all other styles of vehicles in Its
ability to move over rough, sandy and
rocky country. 1T bounds over rocks
and other obstacles" declares its In
yentor. with as much ease as horse
trained to jump" 1t requires neither
road nor rail, but travels cross-country
over fields and meadows, climbing
hills and bounding over bitches and
other irregularities Of the land for
merly considered insurmountable bar
rjers even to the speed capacity of an
express train-a mile a minute. In
addition to the one large wheel upon
which 1t travels the monocycle has
two auxiliary wheels, which can be ex-
tended to the ground or drawn within
the large wheel, as may be desired.
The main wheel is nine feet in diam
eter and consists Of light steel rim
five inches wide fitted with a pneu-
matte tire. The rider sits within this
wheel upon a movable seat, which, in
being operated toward either side,

was champion oarsman Of New York
and then he drifted into the poolroom
business. Under Mayor Van Wyck he
served as street cleaning commission
er. Since leaving this position he has
gone down financially and up to few
days ago did not know that he was
worth more than a few thousand dol
lars at the most. But unknown to
himself he was wealthy.
In the old days of his prosperity he
once loaned a friend $1,000 The
friend wanted to give him security,
but Nagle refused. Nevertheless the
friend had secretly transferred some
unimproved property in the annexed
district and it since lay in Nagle's
name, without the latter's knowledge
A short time ago two men called upon
Maggie and asked him to put a price
upon his property in the Bronx. Nagle
denied he owned property there, but
at once made an investigation. He was
surprised to find that he was the own
er of Al lots, valued at between $780,
600 and S25O,OOO-the same his friend
had placed to his credit for the $1,000

The Critic and the Lady.

Talleyrand, the noted Frenchman,
possessed wit Of so high an order that
it has stood we'll the test Of time, and
his jokes are still good. The author
of Juniper Hall' gives two Of his say
ings to Madame de Stael.
He was great admirer Of Madame
Recamier and Madame de Stael, the
one for her beauty, the other for her
wit Madame de Stael asked him one
day, If he found himself with both Of
them In the sea on a plank, and could
only save one, which It would be, to
which he replied:
"Ah! Madame de Stael knows 50
many things, doubtless she knows how
to SWIM"
When "Delphine" appeared, it was
said that Madame de Stael had de-
scribed herself as Delphine, and that
Talleyrand was the original Of Ma
dame de Vernon.
Meeting the authoress soon after
ward, Talleyrand remarked, in his
most gentle tone of voice:

Dean McCEntock of Chicago univer-
sity says the value of play is not we'll
understood, and that it Is natures
best method Of education" Play Is
undoubtedly natures best restorer.
Next to sleep 1t Is an essential. We
all know the truth of the adage that
all work and no play makes Jack
dull boy. And in tnis country we have
a lot of dull boys, both young and old,
not so much because they do not know
how to play as how to work. The av-
erage American business man takes
his task too seriously. In the desire
to get rich he forgets how to live,
There is too much friction and too
much waste of vital forces. Many OF
our business men do things in slap
dash sort of way. They jump without
pause for breathing from one thing to
another. They work at high tension
and worry at high tension. They
waste nervous energy. Their minds
are in ferment. They are feverish
There is a get-there-En glare in their
eyes, They calculate. They gesticu-
lat. 1hey all but foam at tne mouth
Luncheon is no let up. They gulp their
victuals as if they were in competition
Play? The proposition would be
thought crazy one. There is no time
to play in business hours and when
business is over there are too many
other demands. If these men only
knew it, they could do better work and
more of 1t by lowering the tension. A
little relaxation would help amazing
~. And a play spell at home after
business hours would renew and vital
lie the worn nerve strings. However,
it is easy to advise. The fever Of high
strung endeavor is in the American
blood. Warnings against useless sex
penditure of effort go largely UNDECIDED.

Have you ever stopped to think
what subject furnishes the most fruit
full topic Of conversation these days!
It is money! In libraries, in parlors,
in street cars, on railroads, in the
street-everywhere the sound Of dol
lars' is heard. What Is 1t worth ?"
"How much did it COST" How much
did you get for tt?'' What kind Of
an investment would that be?" How
are the stocks to-dayY ''Who won in
that last real estate deal?" Always
money, money, money! Do you an
nounce the death Of friend, the
query, "How much money did he
leave?' is the first thing to greet your
ears. Sorrow for the dead, and SYM
pathy for the living, are both second
airy to the Importance Of whether he
"died rich" Do you speak Of mar
rage, the first question Is, did she
do well?" Always money, money,
money! Is a child born into the world,
"Was it born with a silver or gold
spoon in its MOUTH" is the first thing
asked. And, according to the answer,
predictions for it's future are either
rose or gray. Always money, money,
money! Men have died for It, lied
for it, become criminals for 1t-ev-
erything but remained honest for it.
And yet these shining words Of the
Holy Writ have not been blotted from
the book which men love to proclaim
their guide and solace: "a good name
is rather to be chosen than great
riches, and loving favor rather than
silver or gold"
