optimists have all nlonff predicted the
c'jnilnK of. -Many true words are spoken
In jest, and the dr.'finis of romancer
are often found realized in the model
room of the fnlted States I'utnnt Oflice.
. Jules Verne's Nautilus was only u few
yeut-s uheail of the submarine torpedo
boat. A comic sketch artist showed a
man who atored compressed pas In the
tiiMtiit of his machine with which to
feeil Ills lamp. A practical man seized
the idea, made some experiments. pot
letters patent, and the plan works to
perfection.
The cartoonist made, merry over the
wheelmen on the Ice. Three bicycles
fur ncrvlce on the Ice are now on the
market. The latest device Is a canvas
band with creepers or special design to
Ki-lp the ice on the rear wheel and to
insure safe steering of the front wheel.
The Kkatlnir device Is aplled over the
ordinary Inflated tire, and Is to be used
with the every day lilcycle. A speed
of l.ViulleH an hour can be maintained
on this steel shod wheel.
j'KOI'KI.UNC! AMOW1NC1 MACHINE
The jokesmlths and cartoonists stum
bled on to' a practical Idea when they
depicted old Fanner Oatcake riding
wheel that propelled a inowluK machine.
Thomas Caldwell, of l'ouRhkeepsle, N.
y., who has taken out more patents nn
lawn mowers than any one else in the
world, laughed at the picture at first,
then retired to his workshop, and In a
few days sent his application to Wash
ington. In due time he secured a patent
on the cycle lawn mover.
The machine Is made with the ordi
nal. v rear wheel of a bicycle and a 20
Inch mower In the place of the -front
wheel. The mower wheels have pneu
matic ti'-cs and run us smoothly as a
bicycle Itself. The mower is attached
with loiitf steel pronns or forks, and
tuny be adjusted to cut high or low. The
pedals are placed illreoily on the larce
wheel stiuft. dlspenslntr with the chain
si.riM ket wheels and crank shaft of
ilie bicycle.
Tim strain of pushlnpr the mower Is
taken off the trame and head of the
iiiuchinc by two rods, one on each side
of the lai'Re wheel, one end of which Is
uttucbed to the frame at the center of
the wheel, and the other to the mower,
The machine turns more readily thun a
bicycle. In fact, may be turned around
Ih a six-foot circle. It takes no more
power to operate It than to propel an
ordinary tricycle.
Andstlllanotherjokelias ifone wrniiK,
us a Juke, and siiKKested the practical
development of u uiiadrucyclc, a laimly
inucbine, calculated to add to the Kay
el y of nations. It Is the invention of a
lienver man, K ink by name, und he has
taken his wife und two children out
daily for several months. The iuad
rueycle has many Interesting points,
the chief one being the steerinR Rear,
which the Inventor says can be applied
to any four-wheeled vehicle. The ma
chine is substantially built on the lines
of hiKh-Krade wheels, and is propelled
With a minimum of labor. The tires are
made extra strong and the machine
easily travels on any road on which a
wagon can be drawn. .
Till: 1IORKKM-:SH HANSOM.
The "horseless hansom" Is of KnKlIsh
Invention, it Is expressly designed for
invalids, and is an improvement upon
an early effort to produce a cycle bath
chair. The Inventor describes the draw
ing as being one of a pro,poseo veloci
pede arrangement for carrying a pas
senger, or passengers, and In sreneral
form and appearance similar to a han
som cab, either a complete hansom call
or an open or uncovered body which
would virtually constitute the lower
part of a hansom cab. This body is) sup
ported on a light frame made of iron or
steel tubes, on which Is supported at
the hack part a seat for one of the per
sons supplying the motive power and at
the front part another seat for supply
ing the remainder of the motive power
and having the control of the steering.
The illustration Is a side elevation of
the vehicle wherein the body in general
is in the form of a hansom cab, and the
crank axles rotated by the persons oc
cupying the front and hack kseats re
spectively are both collected by chain
tearing with the main or driving axle.
A seemingly practical thing in the
line rif hnndle bats has been placed on
the market. It may be raised or low
ered by hand without slackening speed,
to meet the exigencies of travel.
' A Klotlda man has applied the fly
wheel idea to the bicycle for the pur
pose of "Increasing the power of pro
pulsion." He claims that the power
generated by the flying wheel propor
tionately lessens the muscular exertion
on the part of the operator. The sec
tional view given of this machine rep
resents the mechanism and Its working.
liy rotating the crank shaft, ns In
driving the ordinary bicycle, the gears
are made to also revolve the fly-wheel.
and power is thus accumulated. The
fly-wheel is made to revolve many times
oftener than the crank shaft through
the medium of the compound gears.and.
when once the power Is'properly ad
justed, it Is a simple matter to gear the
speed of the bicycle to any pitch de
sired. NO UIMINI'TION OF POWER.
At no period in the revolution of the
cranks is there a diminution- of power
applied to the crank shaft through the
luck of leverage force, as the increased
momentum gained in the fly-wheel de
velops power suftli'lent to eliminate the
effects of lost motion and "haves the
cranks on over dead centers, thus per
petuating the constant speed or pro
gress of the car or bicycle, that would
otherwise be "retarded by sucrlllelng a
sutlielent amount of the speed power In
rotating the cranks to the Initial point
of leverage."
From France comes one more effort
to do away with the chain. Four
sprockets do the work of the chain.
Double hollow forks are also a feature
of this machine from the sunny land.
where there la one bicycle to every U
inhabitants.
An American woman has several Ideas
In the line of tandems for a man and a
womun. She sits In the lower front
seat. The steering bar Is at the rear ot
the seat, and she moves It with her
hands at her sldese.
The Robert sun speeding crank Is pro
duced nn a sufficient scale to exhibit Its
mechanism. A handle bar. in which Is
secreted a bell. Is among the novelties.
The wildest dream of ihe week Is the
product ot an Indian brain. A power
ful clock apparatus Is attached to the
machine, which the work of iiedalling
is supposed to wind up. When the cy
clist Is tired he places his feet upon a
rest and, the clockwork being released,
the machine Hies away for several
miles.

coming threadbare, and the New .en

hi the near future unless he desires the
public to arrive at the conclusion that
he Is afraid of 4'orbett.
It would appear under the clmnii
stances that the articles signed by t!or

Box 8 representative. S. t Austin, sent
to t.'orbett copies of all the cablegrams
sent by O. W. Atkinson, ns well as'lhe
original paper forwarded by the Na

"The report that these articles- are
bogus Is simply ridiculous." said Mr
Austin, "and 1 cannot imagine who In

The plans for the trip of the Yale
Varsity crew to Kngland to compete
In the Henley regatta are completed
and the managers of the navy have
taken passage for the oarsmen on the
steamer Itcrlln. which sails from New
York on June 6. The munugers of the
navy were governed In the selection of
the steamer by a combination or cir-
umsiances. In the first place, the
oaches were of the opinion thut a good

men any harm. The nnuncmi union
at the university, which is to furnish
the funds for the trip. Inslstea on an
possible economy, and. finally, June t!
was the earliest possible date that the'
faculty would consent the oarsmen to
leave college. The slow trip will be
made pleasant, however, by the pres
ence of a large number of loyal grad

French associations of athletic sports,
and these three commissioners were
appointed to organize the congress:

F.urone: C. Herbert ror Kngland and
her colonies, and Professor William M.
Sloane, of Princeton, for the I'nited
Slates. The commissioners drew up u
constitution and rules governing ama
teurism und professionalism, und dis
cussed rules for the games.
At a Biitnmer meeting or the congress
Athens was proposed by the C,reek del
egate as the place to hold the games,
und being warmly supported by
Messrs. de Coubertln, Sloane, Cioudinet
and de Vlllers, his proposition was ac
cepted, Athens' historical associations
making her especially acceptable.
In lttuo the games will be held In Par-
Is. in 1W4 In New York, and after that,
every fourth year. In different titles of
the world. The guinea ure open only
to amateurs ami adults, no school hoys
