A IRRATIONAL BICYCLE

The cyclist finds that his pedals are
not always in a position where he can
exert his power to the greatest advan-
tage. He would like always to push in
a direction at right angles to the pedal
crank, but he can do this strictly only
at one point in the revolution. At this
point he could manage a much higher
geared cycle than at the others. Now
Capt. Delacroix, a French inventor, has
devised wheel in which the gear prac-
tically changes from high to low in the
course of every revolution of the pedals,
being highest at the point where the
power can best be applied and lowest
where it is applied at disadvantage.
This he accomplishes by making his

FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST.
The American Settler Is Welcomed
to Canada.

A number OF the leading newspa.
pers on this side of the line have been
noticing the growth OF the Canadian
West in recent years, and draw atten-
ton to the fact that there seems to be
no abatement of the influx of settlers
to that great grain-growing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There were ALA homesteads entries
there in July of this year, as against
3,571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact, with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest is the statement
that of these ALA homesteaders,
1912 were from this side of the line.
Little is said about the 81 Canadians
who recrossed the border to take up
homes in Canada West, or of the sos
from Great Britain, or of the 1926
from non-Brltish countries. 1t APP
pears that the item in this July report
that makes Canada rejoice most is
this OF the 1912 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes in
Canada West.
The compliment is deserved. The

other farming states, and go into

class OF immigrants for developing the
new country. They take capital with
them, too, say Canadian papers proud.
ly. In every way, they are welcome
over there"
AS the Express well says, the
American is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to in
vite the welcome. The American
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail in the Cana
dian prairie provinces, and is aware
of every phase of agricultural devel-
opment in recent years.
In practical knowledge OF what is
wanted to get the largest return for
labor and investment he Is by long
odds superior to any European set
tier He knews what Is required to
bring success, and he is able and will
ing to do il, and his future causes no
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer. The agent Of the Cana
dian Government, whose address APP
pears elsewhere, says that the differ
ence between the manners and Gus
toms OF the farmer from Dakota, Ore
gon or Minnesota and the farmer from
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta
Is not nearly so marked as that be-
tween the farmer of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller Of the

A New Sleeping Car Story.

Among the railroad visitors in town
yesterday was f. A. Miller, general
passenger agent of the-Chicago, Mil
waukee e. st. Paul Railway. He WIS.,
tied all of the general Offices in town
and at the Hollenden Hotel yesterday
told a story of one of the sleeping car
porters who was recently found
asleep while on duty. This is con-
trary to the rules Of The st. Paul
Road, and the negro man was in
trouble when found by the inspector
on The Pioneer Limited. He had his
wits about him, however, and in re-
spouse to the inspectors inquiry as
to what he was doing asleep, he said:
"Ill tell you how it was, boss. l
have only been with the company a
short time and before coming here
was working on such and such a
railroad. The line was so rough that
could not get any sleep. Since l
have been working for the The st.
Paul the road has been so smooth
that l just could not keep awake"
Mr.. Miller says that while the ne
gro had violated the rules, he was
permitted to keep his job on account
of his wit.-CleUeIdnd Leader.

Scheme Worked Out Badly.

Congressman Sulzer represents a
1ensely populated district on the East
side of New York city. 1t occurred to
him some months ago that though
there are no gardens in his district
some OF his constituents might grow
plants in boxes placed on window
stills or fire escapes, so he sent an as
sortment of seed to the inmate Of a
model tenement house owned by one
of his friends. The latter met him
few days ago and said: See here.
Sulzer, want you to cut out that seed
business. It's the limit" why,
what's the matter? asked the aston.
lshed Sulzer, and he explained why he
had sent the seeds. "Oh, you meant
well, all right" returned the friend
scornfully, but when | visited the
place the other day found that about
ten families were raising cabbage, Gu.

BIRD TRAVELS WITH GIRAFFE
Red Billed Weaver Constant Compan-
ion Of Animal Skyscraper.

The red-blled weaver bird is a con-
slant companion of the giraffe, perch
ing itself upon the withers and flying
along when Its host takes to flight,
and Immediately alighting again on
its back at the first opportunity. The
only means of defense or offense by
the giraffe is by means of its hoofs,
and the blows it can deliver by kick
ing are of tremendous power. The
old males during the breeding season
fight in this manner a good deal, and
the female employs the same means
in defending her young against car
nivorous animals.
CRATES are very swift Of foot, and
II requires a very fleet horse to run
them down. Experienced hunters,
however, charge them at full speed,
and by this means are often able to
run into them, and If the CRATES are
fat they will soon become blown"
When running. the tail is twisted in
a corkscrew fashion over the back and
the hind legs at each step are thrown
on the outside of the forelegs, giving

very keen sense Of hearing and OF
smell.
