"prcYcLE- MOTOR can.

A most extraordinary two-wheeled
Automobile, designed on the principle
of bicycle" bicycle which drew at
tention in England twenty or more
years ago, has been built In London
and sent to this country for exhibit
tion.
II consists Of a couple Of large solid.
tired wheels, connected by an axle from
which hangs a platform sufficing for
the engine, which Is at the rear, Is OF
the single-cylinder type and develops
four and half horse power. The
countershaft lies parallel with the axle
Of the vehicle, and on the ends are a
pair Of roller chains driving sprockots
that engage with the wheel hubs. The
steering IL accomplished by an ordi.
nary auto steering wheel. which act
yates wires that move friction discs
between the sprockets and the wheel
hubs, the drive being released from
one wheel or the other to effect a turn.
The chief feature Of this remarkable
type OF machine 10 the cheapness with
which II can be built and the lack oi
vibration that results from the use Of
large wheels. The seat for the driver
and passengers rests Just over the
axic.--Popular Mechanics.

a hearty welcome and tag to prove
where he had been. From New York
to California, north and south. he
gathered these tokens Of interest, and
many are the curious kinds. From
the western mining regions are chunks
OF silver rudely nodded and inscribed,
and there are original devices In leath-
er and the bark OF trees and scraps
Of cloth.
During this time he also followed
the mall pouches on board ocean-going
steamers and visited many points in
Canada, Europe and Asia. as well as
other parts of the world. The Mikado
Of Japan presented him with silver
medal having the japanese national
coat Of arms. This medal occupies q
conspicuous place In 0wney's glass

owney met sad and untImely fate
at Toledo, Ohio. In 1897. He had been
chained to a post In the basement OF
| the postofice to await the arrival Of a
photographer who was to take his pic
ture. He became impatient at this un
usual restraint, which he could moi
understand. and made noisy and des
perate efforts to release himself. and
when q clerk tried forcible means ts
quiet him he showed the first sign oi
temper he was ever known to display
and sprung at him and hit his hand
The clerk spread the report, that thu
dog had gone mad. Thereupon th'
postmaster summoned q policeman
who ended with bullet the career o.
this most remarkable animal. Th'
news at once reached Owney's home

grief. and q demand was made for thu
iifeless body In order to have It pre-
served.

To mere man. uneultured and un'
ashamed. the fiatiron seems a thing OF
evil. Its use renders the house unin'
habitable one day out OF seven; Il dis
tracts woman's attention from the all
important matter OF preparing food.
In shameless conspiracy with starch.
Il renders clothes uncomfortable. turns
napkins into slippery boards and ban
ishes sleep from beds. Civilized man
is slave OF the ironing board. and
the boiled shirt Is the emblem OF his
degradation.
Now. the scientists tell us that iron
ing has an important function as an
antiseptie; that the hot iron Is one
of our leading germ killers. This In
strument OF torture may have a tenn
perature OF 266 degrees. and that. they
say, Is more than enough to satisfy
the most fastidious bacillus. In places
where sterilizing devices are not
handy, surgical dressings may be iron
ed with great advantage. and In q
recent experiment clothing which had
been worn by diphtheria patients was
completely disinfeeted by the use OF
hot iron.
Long suffering man will note with
relief that the scientists have said
nothing In defense OF starch. There
has been no vindication OF the boiled
shirt.-Success Magazine.
