THE WHEEL IN SPRING. What to II o tvilh >■ Illcycle That HUM flccii Stored Away Through the \\ inter Mollllm. A machine that has been neglected all winter should be taken entirely apart, if the rider knows how to do it, and every part closely examined, especial attention being paid to the joints and points of bearing. Kerosene is a good tiling for cleaning, as it cuts rust quickly, but great care must be taken not to let any of it get on either the enamel or the tires. In cleaning cups and bearings a great deal of care must be taken. When removing the bearings a cloth should be spread un der the wheel so that these little steel balls do not become lost. Jt is ad visable to keep the sets separate, even though may be of the same size. Hearings have a tendency after being in use awhile to wear off their own imperfections and adjust themselves to each other and' the path they wear in the cups. Sometimes it makes quite a difference if one set is putin the place of another. Vaseline is used by many as a lubricant for bearings. In the ease of tires the only thing to do is to inflate them fully. They may have become defective if they have been left deflated and standing 011 a floor. It is best to have an expert look after these. Dust may have clogged the plunger of the valve or the cement holding the valve in the valve-stem may have dried anil broken. A defect of this kind may give the rider the impression that the tire has become porous. Any trouble with the valve can be easily delected by taking a small wine glass, filling it with water and holding it close to the rim so that the entire valve is sub merged. If there is an escape of air it will be readily seen by small air bubbles in the water. The tire, in all cases where a wheel has been left standing all winter, should be removed and freshly cemented to the rim. The old cement cracks ftnd will not hold. Unless attention is given to this the tire will "creep" the first time the machine is used and the valve-stem will be cut off. The head or steering gear of the machine is another part that should be carefully examined. The head has a great deal to do with the easy run ning of a machine, so there must be a perfect adjustment. It is a part that is always moving in the act of balanc ing the wheel, and therefore has a great deal of wear. In addition to this there is an unequal strain. The bear ing cups have to support nearly all the weight of the rider and all strains occasioned by the unevenness of the road. The bearings in the head do not have the full rotary movement as in other parts of the machine. There is only a backward and forward move ment. often very slight, but enough to wear considerably. In the adjustment of the head care should be taken that it, is neither too tight not too loose. Any looseness can be detected 1 by tak ing hold of the handlebar and lifting it up and l pressing it down alternately. If there is any looseness it must either proceed from the head fir front wheel. A good plan after lubricating the bear ings is to turn the front wheel around several times so that the bearings find their proper adjustment. Heads should work freely, but should always be rigid.—X. Y. Times. FRICTIONLESS CHAIN. Ilnll llcarliiK Put ton \ew anil Seem ingly Important I sc l»y 11 I'iftH liurKli Inventor. Ball bearings, which first became generally familiar through their use in bicycle bearings, have now become part of innumerable mechanical con trivances. Wherwer it is desired to reduce friction to a minimum, or to obtain a particularly easily movable part a ball bearing is introduced, so that they are found in everything, FRICTIONLESS CHAIN. from a car axle to a chair castor. In ventors have racked their brains in an endeavor to find new adaptations of this principle, and one of the most recently evolved, a ball-bearing chain, designed by a Pittsburgh patentee, Itobert A. Carter, is illustrated here. As shown, t he links are provided at one end. with a concave, or hyllow, rounded seat, in which the steel ball is placed. The interlocking link engages with and bears upon this ball, this position being maintained by the boulders or abutments, as indicated. J!y such means a particularly flexible chain is obtained, and one which can be used for a great variety of purposes, where it is desired to keep the chain in mo tion, and where the energy to do this is a factor to be considered.—Cincin nati Commercial Tribune.

Sails to assist in the propulsion of bi cycles have been suggested before, and usually the attempt has been made to place them on the front wheel, or front head, but in the arrangement here shown the sail is attached to the rear wheel in such a manner that its weight helps to balance and steady the wheel. The sail is mounted on a mast, with t he usua 1 boom, and its movement i:i controlled by means of the reel shown just back of the head, on the top brace. When the rider unwinds the sheet from the reel the sail is free to assume an inclined position relative to the vertical plane of the bicycle, and when the sheet is wound up 011 the reel the boom brings the sail into the plane BICYCI.E WITH SATL ATTACHMENT. of the bicycle in case it is traveling against the wind, as no use can be made of the sail at that time. Accord ing to the inventor, however, when the wind is blowing in the direction of the travel of the bicycle, or at one side thereof, then the operator unwinds the sheet so as to allow the. sail Hi assume a normal position to cause the force of the wind to assist in the forward mo tion of the wheel. The inventor is Ku dolph Sorensen, of Ord, Neb., who seems to think that this form of wheel ing will prove a distinctive and attrac tive feature of pleasure riding. Louis ville Courier-Journal. TRUNK LINE SIDEPATH. To lie (oiiKtructeil lletivccn XewTurli ttflU Chicago liy tile l.fiiKDc (if American Wheelmen. '1 he League of American Wheelmen divisions in charge of the construction of the "trunk line" side-path between New York and Chicago are working with all possible speed on the project. \\ hile the work of organizing the prop er committees is under way, the di vision officers are rapidly preparing the plans. These have so far pro gressed that the probable route . has almost been definitely decided upon. As now outlined the path (starting from the New York end) will run through. Poughkeepsie, Albany.

The New York division is taking the lead in the undertaking, and expects to have practical results within a short time. I'nderthe direction of Secretary- Treasurer Bull maps have been pre pared showing the paths already con structed in .New York state, and engi neers are at work preparing plans for the intervening stretches of road. When these are completed the side path commissioners in the counties in terested will build the connecting paths until there will lie a complete stretch of them from New York city to the western boundaries of the state. The „\evv York division will have super vision of S.'KI miles of the path, or more than half, as the total length will be 'JOS miles. The Ohio and Indiana sections will not proceed so rapidly, as they have not the advantage of paths already built, but so enthusiastically has the project been received in those states there is no doubt they will be close to .New York in finishing their respective sections. 1 hat all possible speed may be given the construction of the big path, the L.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1900. THE GLOUCESTER APPLE. A Fancy Fruit for H Inlor Con mi in p lluu 'l'linl OrlK'innti-il In Virginia Mun> Team Ago, Among 1 the fancy little winter ap ples, tlie Lady has lons' been almost alone in the market and on the tables of those who seek for a small dessert apple. It is indeed a beautiful and well-flavored little favorite, but it is not easy to secure good crops. Ke cently there came from Cincinnati market an old but little known apple called Gloucester, that originated in West Virginia many years ago. It is not quite so small nor so flat in shape as the Lady, as the accompany | THE GLOUCESTER APPLES. (Three-Fourths Natural Size.) I ing illustration will show, but it is j small enough to meet the require j ments of the fastidious table deeo- I rator, and besides is exceedingly I handsome in appearance. The skin I is almost as glossy as satin, and the creamy white ground color with a brilliant pinkish blush on one side shows off the apple to great advan tage. The flavor is mild sub-acid, the flesh is almost as white as chalk and very soft and tender, yet juicy and crisp enough to be pleasant to eat. Among the other good points is the fact that it may be kept for the Thanksgiving and midwinter holidays as far south as Kentucky. The tree is also said to be very productive and a regular bearer, which cannot be said of the j Lady. Those who wish to plant a few apple trees for the strictly fancy trade should endeavor to get some of the Gloucester.--Orange Judd Farmer. NATIONAL AID NEEDED. lliil I'deli Slnlf. M1011I4! AUo Contrib ute Toward Making the (iotnl ItoailM Movement a. Sueee**. The agricultural department calls attention, in a recent circular, to the fact that 31 states have created labor bureaus or bureaus of industrial statis tics, while but half a dozen have high way commissions with jurisdiction over road affairs. The average state legislature is start lingly prolific in measures for regulat ing almost every conceivable busness that is carried on within the state. It does not stop with regulating the activities of mankind, but occasionally takes a shy at the laws of nature, sus pending them or repealing them ac cording to their own pleasure. Singu larly enough, the most important ques tion that vitally concerns the indus trial prosperity of the state—that of good roads and how to provide for their construction—is almost entirely ig nored by the legislatures. Some of the states whose legislatures putin their time tixing passenger rates for the railroads provide nothing but mud roads on which the farmer must haul his products to the market. The first, steps in the inauguration of a good roads movement in each state should be to legalize a bureau of high ways or the appointment of a nonpar tisan highway commission, whose du ties should be to establish a capable engineer in each county, to systematiz local laws and locate suitable material for road purposes. The system of "working out road taxes" should be | abolished and the poll taxes should be I collected in cash. This, combined with the principle of state aid, is the only practical solution of the good roads problem. In addition to this work on the part of the state congress should appropriate funds for the offices of public road inquiries or the establish ment of a national highway bureau to cooperate with the states in educating public sentiment concerning the im portance of good roads and how to construct them. —Chicago Times-ller ald. A FEW DAIRY POINTERS. Use great care in turning to pasture. Give a good feeding of hay in the morn ing and do not leave them out all day. Do not leave the herd out in the showers. The rains are cold in Juna even, and loss will result if careless in this respect. Take the world over, there are more good cows and sensible men than there are poor cows i\nd fools. The trouble is to get the wise men and good cows together. When we do this fewer men will be complaining that "dairyin' don't pay."
