FIRST BICYCLE MADE
In POPULAR IN 1861

Blanchard, French aeronaut, in
vented a crude bicycle in 1879 but
motive power was obtained by push
ing with feet on ground, like the
"kiddie kar," a toy for children.
''Dandy-horse" or "Draisena," a velo-
cipede, was patented by Baron Won
Drais in 1918. 1t was not until 1861
that it became popular. First mach
inc driven by Pedals was made in
Paris in 1866. In 1869 NJ Michaux of

shakers Later both wheels were

more than 40 to so miles an hour

birds but late Investigations prove
that TIE homing-pigeon is the fastest
Some average a nile minute in

STAMPS MADE In YEAR

About 100000 stamps are printed
for the U. S. Postoffice department
every year by the bureau of engray-
ing and printing at Washington. Dies
are made and stamps are printed in
sheets of 400 each. After printing and
drying sheets are taken to cumming
machines. Each machine is surmount-
ed by a tank from which a carefully
regulated stream of special gum is
fed to a pan, at one end of which it
comes into contact with an adjusta-
BILE revolving roller. Roller feed is SO
delicately controlled that 26 pounds
of gum is spread over every 1000
sheets. After being gummed sheets
pass into a tunnel where temperature
is kept at 100 degrees. The tunnel is
70 feet long and stamps take a min
ute and a half to traverse it. When
they reach the other end they are
dry and ready for perforating ma
chimes.

BABE is DONE AS
BASEBALL PLAYER

!. With Babe Ruth batting a feeble
.29O and eating the dust of a flock of
home run hitters, New York is about
ready TO admit the former Swat King
is through.
one prominent baseball man went
so Tar as to predict Saturday after
noon that Ruth would be cut out of
the major leagues in 1924. Ruth is
miserable fielder and is too heavy
to get around on the bases. His forte
has been home runs and when the
fails at that he is gone.
In the last three weeks since he
has had time to recover his eye and
get back on his stride, the paramount
question Of baseball has been What
is the matter with Ruth?"
Bob Meusel who was suspended
with Ruth, has been hitting like a
fend while Ruth has failed so much
that he has been pushed down the
batting list.
Close students of baseball maintain
pitchers have found his weakness in
a low curve ball.
Ruth may have lost his heart when
he found none of the pitchers were
afraid of him this year. He never
gets walked purposely any more and
he is the softest man in the Yankee
team in a pinch.
AS long as he draws the crowds he
will find a job. Perhaps for another
year a crowd, thro ugh that peculiar
America characteristic which likes to
razz fallen hero, VIII come to see
him strike out. New York is razzing
him now and New York is the fairest
town in baseball.
