u POINTERS; FOR WHEELMEN TUB Wcyel fad ha lad th American Wopls with a arm, MM grip. Thl li food new to the bi cycle manufacturer aud the luveutor. The manufacturers ar tw in their producing capacity to the utmost ud the luveutor are figuring all the ttuw uu Improvement, each of which Is deaUmed to help the rider to travel tauter aud aaaler. Many of these new-fangled nia- hluca are decidedly novel lu con tructlon. Some of them justly may he called freak. Some day aome lu goulou fellow la going to hit the right combination, aud then, perhaps, aiau will be at near the flying ma ' thine of th inventor' Imagination a we shall ever be able to sot. The M yele rider now aotimlly ride on air. Those curious machined, of the lat est inventions lu thla country aud France, prove that the human race la bouud not to go afoot If It can go awheel. The craao la uul vernal, and ot merely for pleasure, but for bus iness la the wheel now utlllaed. 1-et-tav-carrlera, messenger boy, median lr going to aud from their work, downtown clerk, park policemen, and in farls bakery boy and other Mr on calllug from houae to house, use bicycle In their datly occupation. Out West a shepherd ride a wheel as he tend hi Hocks, lu Altilwma in the receut election returns from utlytng point were gathered by whcelmeu. The other day a woman bicyclist chased and caught a retreat- Ing burglar. Nearly every army In Europe, bosloVs I'ncle Sam' lu this ouutry, has its bicycle corps. Moat uiisportmanlike of all the odd xperltt'ents on wheel Is that o( a Frenchman who rides along the l'arl struct ou a bicycle pulled by a dog. The dog is large and lean, but under , the Impetus given by a long whip tanages, so its master says, to pull hlra along at a much swifter rate thau ,h could accomplish with the pedals. Perhaps the n-au is old and decrepit. I any rate, it is an odd contrivance. There are two motor bicycles call able of developing considerable pecd. One Is an American luventlou, the other German. They are driven by gasoline engines. The German ma chine has Its heavy driving motor set in the middle distance between the wheels. The American machine Is less cumlieraooie. It looks like an or dinary safety with a piston and cylin der attached to the back wheels. It Is tald these machine can develop a apeed of fifty miles an hour. The ether bicycle Is another ma chine of the same class, except that ether is used instead of water. The gas of ether is one-third more power ful than 8 team. Only 90 degree of heat are needed to couvert ether Into expanding gas. Water requires i!12 degrees. The expanding gas operate on a cylinder and piston attached to the rear wheel. By a condensing sys tern the ether Is used over and over again, and with one equipment the machine is good for one hundred miles. It can develop a speed of sixty miles an hour. There are a numlier of bicycles de signed to increase the ordinary speed by utilizing the hands for power ns well as the feet The various styles generally copy the French machines, in which the handle bars are attached to levers running down to the pedal rachet Bicycling under these eir cumstances must be fatiguing, Another French machine has a gear wheel and cranks attached to the han Al) bar. The gear wheel Is connected by chain to the large front wheel of the bicycle. You turn the cranks and the front wheel is pulled around. Just as in the case of the foot pedals aud tne back wheel. Ther Is a "lever bicycle" which has no pedals. Where the pedals are orUl narlly placed is a horizontal bar, on which the feet are to rest It Is con neeted by a perpendicular bar. By alternately pressing and releasing these bars with the hands and feet a crank attached to the back wheel Is turned, The bicycle sled will hardly bo ap preciated at this time of the year, ex oept in those countries where snow and ice abound the year round. The arrangement consists of a skate or runner, which is substituted in place of the ordinary front wheel. The rid er can then slide along at a startling nace. Military bicycle are a somewhat old story. The newest thing In this line is one which can be doubled or folded. Midway between the two wheels is a hinge arrangement, aud on this axis the parts are doubled to gether. Facility in transportation is the object aimed at The ordinary military bicycle is a squatty and ap parently ungraceful affair. This feature is of little account In the gen eral ensemble of the machine, in which use, and not beauty, is the con slderatlon." Daisy Boll and her lyrical chronicler need no longer feel compelled to go tandem through weal or woe. They may now ride side by side on a three wheeled affair. If this Is not fin de slccle enough they could use a tandem affair with three wheels which offers especial features of comfort for both riders. The art of pacing a cyclist who is trying to make speed has been reduced to a science. It is found that when a bicycle and its rider pass swiftly along a track they create a vacuum immediately behind the machine. Of course the vacuum is being constantly filled with air, which, rushing Into empty space, develops an enormous suction power. The larger the body which displaces the air the greater the suction power. Taking advantage of this principle of physics, bicycle have been built for three, four and live men. The racer rides directly behind this "pac ing" machine, and Is drawn along al most in spite of himself. The largest pacing machine on record has recently ! iiuku iniue in uoveniry, i,ngiann. v LI f i-iigm men nae on it, tanaem rasnion. the practical side of life; lie learns in It Is ald to develop considerable dependency, wif-rcliancc, and self- speed as a pacer. xciunpn me mom cunous uiaciune oi mi i uneu in runs, ii is a mono- cycle, or machine having one wheel It looks like an immense cart wheel, but it Is capable of covering a great distance In a short time. This Is a pure freak, as is also the Eiffel Tower bicycle exhibited in England a hort time ago and imitated In this country. It is said that this machine ha been put Into practical use for the purpose or lighting street lamps. Electricity does not seem to have been much tried as a motive power lor oicycies. une man invented a machine which was nronelled bv motor and storage battery1 carried be neath the scat. It was said that It cost nve cents an hour to run, but as the number of the batteries which a bicycle could carry would be extreme ly limited, It Is not likely the machine was mucn or success. A Michigan man has Invented a railway bicycle which has wheels with concave tires, so as to enable the ma chine to run on one track. Something of the same nature was used years ago by a performer on the stage, who rode his wheel along a tight rope. The Michigan machine is said to have accomplished three miles In two min utes. This affair seems feasible enough, provided no misplaced switch es are encountered. Near San Bernardino, Cal., a bicycle which carries a sail to utilize the wind for a propelling power has been la operation. It Inventor says there is only one difficulty with the machine. That I It faculty for frigbteulug horse. Th only uuiedy when a team I seen approaching ta to get off th machine and lay 11 and It sail flat ou the road until the horse passe by, The bicycle buggy, which ha one wheel behind the body of the vehicle aud la held up by th shaft la a kind of apocryphal carriage which la used by a country doctor. What ha Ihhhi called the "bleyeto balloou" Is a com bination of tialloon, parachute and cycle. It Is for military use. Should the balloon lie pierced by bullets the aeronaut Is exacted to grab bis bi cycle In one band, his parachute In the other and Jump to the ground, af ter which he must "get on his un injured wheel aud ride safely away." The "bteycle skate," which I mere ly a roller skate having luilatcd rubber wheels, is a last year's Kugllsh In vention. Another use to which the bicycle ts put In France Is a an ambulance. An ordinary safety wheel Is combined with a folding stretcher. Answering a hurry call the doctor rides to the seeuo of an accident. He thou unfolds the stretcher, ami plac ing the patient upou It, wheels him to the hospital. The man who will hereafter ride around the world will It able to enrrv his trunk with him, and a large trunk at that lu France and England the butchers and bakers use a three-wheel machine for delivering their products. It looks like a small mall wagon. A large box Is situated between the rear wheels. The riding saddle Is lu front of this. There are podul. a handle bar, and there you aw. Seveial London papers have used the tricycle for years ns a mean of delivering the dally edition; but the three-wheel machine has been made to serve the ends of trade by being constructed so aa to print legends and advertising mottoes on the pavement over which It passes. In Farts a machine has been built with very wide rear wheels. Large rubber type are placed on the wheel tires. Ink flows out of a reservoir under the seat and Is parsed on to the type, which, striking the asphalt pavement as the wheel go arouud, prints any desired statement. While the streets of Purls are tradl- (tonally clean, yet there Is always enough dust which would be caught up by the Ink-fnced type, a condition which would result very soon In the clogging or the machine. To prevent this, a little blower, or bellows, is placed In front of each wheel, and as the machine moves It ejects wind enough to blow away all dust Imme diately lu line with the wheel. The machine was shown at a recent ex hlbltlon of bicycles In Parts IllDK THE BICYCIJ5 RROl'LAUI.Y Ir.
