THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE---SATURDAY MOItNINa, OCTOBER 6. 189T. 31 BICYCLE NOVELTIES FOR COMING YEAR New Features In the Manufacture of Bicycles lor '98.

Prom tho New York Sun. A Kreater variety In bicycles will be offered next year than has been tin cpso In four or live years. Less than fifteen makers hav arranced at pres ent to make a bevel gear or chnlnks-t 1 Irycle, while nil the others linvo boon working with different Ideas cf how to produce and successfully mnil'ot n wheel to compete with this "i?w ma chine, the nnpearancs of wlnoli has created so much tn,'k. Then arc nioro than two hundred manufaetmei - who produce a well-known brand of blcyelt, nnd will present something new, gieat or small, for 1S98. Tho appearance of tho thalnlcq wheel has spurred every manufacturer onward, and within p couple of weeks all the makers of prominence w 111 have samples of their 1S9S models on exhibi tion. The next thing to be notid Is that through a great diversity of pat tern, both In the lines of the wheels themselves and their driving mechan ism, there Is a pronounced tendency toward the adoption of some form of protection for tho gearing There will bo several vartetleo of ohnlnless wheels on tho market, and probably not a few which will be classed as "freak-?." All of these will have their drllng mech anism Inclosed, but further it h found that those maker's who will put out chain wheels will almost universally adopt a gear case, and offer It either a a regular model with Inclosed chain, or else will offer some kind of chain case on option at extra charge, and recommend its use. Thus tho ndent of the bevel gear wheel promises to accomplish a complete romoision of the American mind to tho Idea of en cased gearing, which has for jears been accepted across the ocean. Tin re will, however, be a marked difference between the American gear case and .the English typo hitherto, known ns be ing unsatisfactory This seems to mean that the gear cno has had to come to America to find Its perfect ex pression ENCLOSED CHAINS A wheel which will figure most prom inently as a new model next year will be one with a gear case, or "Inclosed chain," as s,ome makers intend calling it Considering that tho near case Is not a rrew device, this situation Is at first somewhat surprising. The gist of tho matter lies, however, In tire fact that a number of manufacturers hav u been at work on the improvement of gear cases, and claim to have attained perfection. The leather, celluloid, and metal cases which have been brought from England have been far from sat isfactory, because of their being heavy, unsightly, and, above all, fall ing to thoroughly exclude dust and water. Yankee Ingenuity has Intro duced aluminum ullojs und light steel with rubber for Joint., so that it seems unquestionable that the American gear case of today Is an article far super ior to its English cousin. During the past year tho American type of case has been gaining in favor through trials by century riders, mili tary men, and other long-distance cy clists. Starting with the promise that a perfect gear case is obtainable, the advocates of Inclosed chain wheels con tend that It Kivts all the advantages claimed for bevel-gear wheels, plus those of a flexible driving mechanism. Besides tiro bevel gear and the In closed chain or gear-caso models, there are several now styles of driving gear to be offered for 1S9S, as well as a num ber of plain chain wheels which will look verv much like the accented tvpe of 1S97 An Indiana manufacturer will offer a combined cog and chain gear, entirely Inclosed, with a crank of vari able throw. This machine will be put out lrr large quantities. It consists of an axle with spur teeth on tho end of It, which Is revolved by means of teeth on the Inside of a gear ring that Is continuous with the crank. Thus when tho crank is on the dowrrward thrust the rear surface of the rirrg is in con tact with the axle cogs and elves a long leverage, while on tho upward throw the ting has revolved so that It touches the axlo In the rear at tho end of the crank and thus shortens Its re turn throw. An ordlnaty sprocket Is stationary on the axle, nnd revolving with It moves the chain, which travels over a rear sprocket the same as In nn ordinary wheel. A reduction of lost motion and tho variable crank throw aro the chief virtues claimed for this invention. IMPROVED CHAIN AND SPROCKET Another concern will come out next year with an improved chain and sprocket driving gear, not inclosed, which It Is claimed will bo as indif ferent to the attacks of mud and dirt as any housed gear. The device will consist of an Improved roller sprocket, similar In appearance, but different In detail, from one which has been on the market during this season. Tho sprocket has a double rim with small solid disks of steel, which each revolvo on an Individual axis, fixed nt regular Intervals. The links of tho chain In passing over tho sprockets engage with these rollers Instead of with fixed teeth, as In the ordinary sprocket. The ro tary action of these novel sprocket teeth prevents any accumulation of mud or dirt, so It Is claimed, and under testa made with a dynamometer some surprising results have been obtained By applying a brake to the rear wheel wmwm$msiwvi&w3$, Cooking: Experts Say: ) "Not n pound oflanl per year Is consumed hr our kitchens, and we conscientiously advise tho public to use almost any other fat."

J.0U1S, a revolving resistance was obtained, and then by Bhovolllng sand and mud Into tho chain and sprocket a test of the chain pull was made. "With the old form of sprocket the chain pull at led from 48 to 1C0 pounds, while with tho samo rolling resistance the pull on tho chain with roller sprockets varied only from 4D to G3 pounds whllo tho sand and mud were being added. A manufacturer In Ohio will bring out In about two weeks a chain wheel with some entirely novel bearings, also a chain wheel with a cushion frame, and ho will offer gear cases on option. About the first of tho vear this samo maker will place on the market n. chain less wheel of entirely now mechanism. It will bo without bevel gear or spur gears, clutch, or friction notion a wholly original method of power trans missionalthough It Is not claimed that It Involves tiny now mechanical prin ciple. In external nppearunco It will rtsemblo tho new bevel gear wheel, except that the box at tho crank axle will b larger and of different shape and thoro will bo a box at the rear smaller than tho one In froirt and dif ferent In shape from It, as well as be Ing different from tho lncascment of tho bevel gear. "What the internal mechanism Is Is not likely to become known until the maker chooses to ex ploit, although It seems certain there must bo a revolving drllng .shaft run ning Inside the rear fork. A peculiar driving gear will bo put out by a New York manufacturer which comprises wheels with spur teeth at tho crank and roar axles, with a flexible driving rod moving longi tudinally between. This wheel, how ever, Is Intended to figure orrly in a secondary character with the chain wheel of the maker. In tho lirre of old Ideas revived, a manufacturer who Is not among those In the first row has developed a driving method using u .series of bolls which move In a channel around the rear and crank axles in much tho same elliptical fashion as n chain, one ball forcing the other and all rotating as they move. ciiAiKi.r.ss wiinni.p. A chalnless wheel without bevel gears that has boon exhibited in Now York for several months past will bi put out In a small v.ay by its inventors, but may figure quite largely because of the. possibility of tho mechanism being attached to tho ordinary bicycle frame by removing the sprockets nrrd chain. It Is what mchanlcs -all a spur gear, having direct cogs engaging parallel from ono wheel to another. There Is a sprocket wheel on the crank consid erably larger than thp ordinary front sprocket with its teM'r. cut more square, nearly nctangular. On tho roar hub Is a sprocket of about tho ordinary size with similar teeth. Be tween the snrockots Is ono large en ough to fill the space and have the teeth or Its periphery engage with those on each of the others Only the rim of the (enter sprocket revolves, tho Hiijor put of the sprocket being held stationary by means of liolts tas.- In through It and tho rear fork. Tl.o lim on wirrcn me iee-11 uu mi n sliced free from tho other part, leav ing a space between tho thin outer rim containing tho toeth and tho other portion of the sprocket sulllclently largo to contain small ball bearings on which tho rlnr revolves The action of this center sprocket -an bo plctrrrod In tho mind by Imagining tho tiro of a wheel separated from tho felloes or rim by a series of marbles and tho tire re volving, while the ilm remains sta tlorary, the tiro having on it tho tooth n'cessary for power transmission. This entire mechanism is Inclosed nnd it has many good points, tho objections urged ngiint It being on tho theoreti cal ground that it involves -note fric tion than chain transmission and is llkelv to bo renderoJ Inoperative when tho wheel is 'hro.vn a little bit out of alignment. A Now York manufacturer has de viled a wheel with an adjustable frame s-o that It can be adapted for a rider with any length of limb. It enn bo converted from a diamond fr ime to a drop frame nnd changed from a -heel having a 22-Inch seat-post mast to ono of 24 or 20 Inches, at pleasure. In fact, tho entire llns of the whorl can be al tered to suit tho owner's fancy. Tho Inventor of this has nlf-o produced what he calls n reiolvlng chain cover to bo ued ns a substitute for a gear-cvr.se It Is made of thin rubber, moulded In tb shaoo of a hollow square. It tits over tho chain and travels around with It, being opened at tho sprockets auto matically bv a spreader "Within tho last two months a pneumatically driv en wheel nnd ono with hvdraulle power have ben worked out, but It Is doubt ful It they aro put on tho market lit any quantity nnt year. OTHER NOVELTIES. Summarizing the different styles of wheels, there will be ton, and pos sibly two or three more, bevel gear ccles made on tho same pattern. Each of the makers of these bevel gears will also produce wheels with tire ordin ary chain transmission. Ono of them will offer nn inclosed chnlrt ns a regu lar model, while two others will of fer gear-cases as an option with extra charge. The leader In this company of ten, who Is the holder of the pat ents for tho bevel gear, will produce a chain wheel without brazings, the joints being screwed together o that any rider can dismember the frame. Omitting all tho.e makers of tho styles previously mentioned, and con sidering thirty other prominent ejelo builders, foutteen of them will put out a wheel with improved details of bear ings and finish and will offer a gear case on option, while nine will offer an Hicnscd chain wheel as a regular mod el, tho difference being that tho four tetrt will incloso the gear only when requested to do so and will charge extra for It. while tho other nine will catalogue tho wheel with protected gear and chargd nothing extra for tin casing. Four of the thirty will offer a wheel with a cushion frame. Brakes will bo more frequently of fered, which means that balesmen will bo less given to talking their custom- page itf, National Cook fiook.

BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D LL, D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. CONTEXT. Last lesson covered only part of tho account of Paul's voyago to Rome. Tho remainder of tho twenty-t-eventh chapter records tho story of his shipwreck and escape, fourteen dajs af ter leaving Pair Hav errs. Tho Items of that story aro full of interest, tho sound ings of tho deep, tho casting out of tho anchors and the anxious waiting for tiro day dawn, tho attempt of tho crow to desert tho ship and Paul's effective warning, tho break of tho long fast and the consequent good cheer of nearly threo hundred souls (verso 37), tho throwing overboard of tho csgo, tho plunging of tho estl Into a llttlo creek, tho break ing by tho fury of tho waves, tho pro posal to kill tiro prisoners, tho Btrugglo lit tho waters, tho final deliverance of all from tho deep Sco what perils wcro encountered by tho faithful apostle for tiro cario of his beloved Master, nil borrro with a stout Heart! KINDNESS.-Tho Island upon which Paul was shipwrecked proved to bo Mllcta now called Malta, about sixty miles south of Sicily (verso 1). Tho pco. plo residing on this islund were for eigners (for so tho word translated bar barous slgnlllos), that Is, they wcro neither Greeks trot Romans, but Phoenic ians, rtrdo in their modo of life, (Rom. I, 14) speaking an uncultivated language (1 Cor. xlv, 11) It might have been ex pected that such people would treat tho i it-.ivvns liatshly. Misfortunes, In , ii-ii drjs, wcro doomed to be proofs of the. nngi r of tho gods. (John i, S ) nnd robbery nnd murder wero not uncommon when hapless strangers wero brought Into distress Hut oit this occasion, It may have been through tiro Inlluerrco of tho Good Splilt or tho promptings of pltv, great kindness was shown to tho crow and the passengers (ver'-o 2). A lit o was kindled nird tho whole com pany was reeelvid with utmost hos pitality. SPPERSTITrON. With his accustomed nctivltv Paul ict about gathering fuel, lio had collected a bundle of roots nnd brush nnd hnel cast It on tho blazing fire, when a viper which had been ljlng dor mant, nelng suddenly revived anil Irri tated bv the bent, leaped forth from tho bush and fastened Itself to tho apostle's hand (verso 3). Seeing the crea ture hanging from his hand, and know ing that ho was a prisoner, the nattvi s Inferred thnt P.irrl was a murderer, and whispered among thcmelvis that, al though rescued from, tho sea, ho was pursued bv vengeance (verso 1) This dis play of super stltlorr was In full harmony with the spirit of the ago oven among pi oplo more highly cultivated. All tho phenormna In nature and all the events of life wire Mipposfi to bo directly or dercd by deities lrr the popular thought retributive justice followed the guilty ov or where. (Numb, xxxil, 23) DIVINITY Undisturbed by the super stitions of tho people Paul shook the viper from his bund Into the lire (verse or out of tho "brake notion." Three of this dcMirnated lot will offer a new back-pedallluR brake without extra chaw, nnd f-everal of them will prob ably offer orr option any kind of brake that In practicable for their wheel. In saddles, also, the offerings will bo more Kenerous, nnd tho more expensive sad dles for which riders have previously had to pay extra, will bo offered on option by a number of mnkers. Wheels will bo moro highly llnlshed as to nlckelllng, enameling nnd decor atio Mrlplng Chased silver tips on the grips will be used by a number of makers, and seeral will gle expres sion to the Idea of putting a sprocket on each side of the rear wheel hub, which originated with a Chicago man ufacturer three enrs ago. This en ables riders to change their gear from a lower to a higher ratio .simply by taking out the rear wheel and reinsert ing it i evened. Crank hangers will next j car be dropped still lower with 1 elation to tho rear hub, probably to an average of 2 Inches. Tho samo size and gauge of tubing will be used, but there will be a general strength ening of fork crowns. IJUAKIXGS. There will be n great deal to Interest tho student of bearings In next year's models This will bo not only In the way of new angles of contact, but al3o In some marked departures lrr the rela the relations of cups arrd cones. A tendency toward the use of smaller balls and relatlely rrroro of them with in larger races will be noted. The craze for large balls Is believed to hao over reached lts.elf. Tho theory that two balls under COO pounds of load will bear proportionately 250 pounds each, while four balls of half the size will bear only 123 pounds each, arrd therefore toll more freely and do lees cutting on the .surfuco of the races nppoars to bo gaining ground. Prices will ary from $33 to $123 in 1S9S. The $123, of course, Is for tho bevel gear wheel of the licensed make. Quito a few makers will put out a $100 wheel. They will not make many of them, and tho cataloguing of them will be done chiefly to emphasize their claim that a truly high-grade wheel cannot be made to sell for less than $100, and that they make a strictly high-grade wheel. A number of makers will cata logue their racing wheel at $100, while listing their regular road wheel at $75 aand it second grade at S'JO o 130. These are manufacturers who have not made more than DO or 100 racing wheels In past seasons, and expect to make fewer next year. Altogether prices will vary greatly, the most popular price among tho best known makers la likely to be $73, with a few vnrjlng It from $70 to $S0, but there will also be n number of manufacturers who conceive that the popular demand Is for a reliable wheel nt $30, and will endeavor to meet It. Turkish Atrocity Turkish atrocity and American charity aro sot forth in strong contrast in the re port of tho National Armenian Itellef committee, now read.; for publication. Sumo interesting' extracts from tiro report read as follows. "Turkey's ntasncro account of hrlp. 1vfs Inoffensrlvo subjects, during orrly tiro llfo-tlmo of many now IMng, shows that every Christian race and locnlltj has In turn been fecourged and brought low, as tiro Koran requires.

(Mnrk xvl, 1?.) By what power ho was protected there need bo no speculation when tho promise of Jesus Is remembered nnd Ills nbtlity to communicate at pleasure what Ills followers need. (Luko x, ID ) Tiro peoplo wero greatly astonished. They expected that tiro poison of tho serpent would kill hlrn, brrt after looking a long tlmo and seeing no bad effects, they concluded that ho ntust bo a god. This was tho necond tlmo that tiro npostlo lrad been deified, but on tho other occasion with greater demonstration. (Acts xlv, 11.) This sud den transition of thought reveals tho faith of tho people. Tho disposition of tho ancient heathen to seek divinity In human form Is an Indication of the uni versal need of tho heart of man (Hag. II, 7) realizing only in Jesus Christ. (Isa. Ml, ) HEALING. Tho episode of tho viper prepared tho way for Paul's usefulness. Not far distant from tho sccrro of the shipwreck wns a town In which resided Publlus, tho chlefman or governor of tho Isl rnd. Paul trrrd his Christian compan ions wero received courteously and lodged threo davs lrr tho bouso with Publlus (verso 7). Truo to his calling tho apostlo ministered there 4o tho fath er of tho governor who lay sick of a fovcr. Although Luko was a physician prajor was employed Instead of medi cines (verse S). nnd with good results, (James v, 1I-H) showing that tho days of miraculous healing wero not passed. Intelligence of tho euro being noised abroad tho sick wero brought from all directions (verho 9), ns they wcro to Josus In tho tlmo of his wonderful min istry. (Luko Iv, 40 ) Numerous cures wero wrought through tho power of tho Spirit. (I Cor. xxl, !i ) And when Paul departed from tho governor's houso ho wns tho recipient of many honors. (I Tim v, 17,) besides those things which wcro necessary for phsleal comfort (vcrt.0 10). VOYAGE. T'or threo months, until tho beginning of IMirunty opened tho navi gation, tho shipwrecked company tarried lit Malta. During that tlmo it is prob able that the gospel was so preached ns to admit tho founding of a church Another corrr ship thnt had wintered n those parts took on board tho soldiers and prisoners and weighed anchor for Sjracuso (w rses 11 and 12). After a de lay of two days, waiting for a favorable wind, they made a circuitous tack, touched at Rheglum for u day. Hero tho south wind sprang up, which was what they desired, and they sped swift ly through tho straits of Messina, be tween tho chains of snow-clad hills nnd anchored In tho bay of Puteoll (verso 13). This was ono of tho leading ports of Italy, a favorite watering place for tho Romans, its hot springs being considered rlllcaclous for tho euro of various dis eases. The city Is connected with many historical personages Sclplo sailed henco to Spain! Cicero had a villa, near by. NEW YORK FASHIONS Trimmed Skirls An Imported Costume, Evening Dresses FursOpera CloaksRoman Sashes. Alclal Belts. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Xew- York, Nov. fi To trim, or not to trim (the skirt) is tho question be tween the fnshlonablo modlsto and her customer; as tomo elegant materials are made up perfectly plain, while others are very fully trimmed. An Imported costume of gray Irish poplin lrad a twelve Inch border around the skirt, of gray silk passementerie and chenille woven together with a narrow Kusslan sablo band running up each side of tho front breadth. The corsage showed a blouse front with a point at one side, edged with sable, which wns continued around tho neck. Just below a small white lace yoke, yellow velvet collar and cuffs adding a touch of color. OTHER HANDSOME DRESSES Are In polonaise stj le at the front, a gray broadcloth suit opening over an embroidered V, with two plain over skin laid ono above the other, just showing a bea er edging. The w alst Is also trimmed with beaver on medium sized rovers and a broad scarf In Rom an colors Is substituted for a vest, tied over a plain linen collar, the fringed ends hanging to the waist, which Is encircled by an elegant metal belt. Tho sleeves ate In mousquetalro stjle, with pears In evening dresses also, but with thin soft fabrics, a heavy bulgy ap pearance is easily avoided. A NEW FAIJRIC for evening dresses, Is Brussels net, dotted with colored chenille, nnd not unfrequently in black net costumes, steel or Jet designs In addition to chen ille dots are noticeable. An evening dress of black Brussels rret dotted with crimson chcnilto and made over heavy white .silk attracted much attention at a recent opening. On tho white silk skirt lining wero tun six rows of crimson satin ribbon at the front, which divided ns they neared tho lower edge, (threo at each side) and turned Into pointed corners, and wero carried nround tho skirt Three other rows wero brought from the waist a little further back, and similarly nrranged. Tho low-necked waist had a tight lining, with crimson ribbon points nt front and back be neath tiro dotted net. A shell trimming of crimson nccordeorr plaited Liberty silk combined with whlto lace edged tho round neck, and wide crimson sa tin ribbon wns drawn through a huge steel buckle at the back, with long ends.

PRISONER Paul's rest nnd commun ion ended on tho seventh day. He wns a prisoner, bound to the court of Caesar, and must appear at Rome, (Acts xxv, ll,) distant a hundred and forty miles. News of his arrival had reached the im perial City, and brethren set out to meet him (verso 15). At Appil Korum ho caught sight of a company of approach ing Christians, nnd ten miles further on, at Threo Taverns, another company. When ho saw tho llttlo throng of those who loved him although entlru strangers ho thanked God nnd took courage. Noth ing cheered and inspired him so much as human sympathy. (Phil. II, 1-2.)

Through tho kindly Interposition e f tho centurion ho was assign 'd liberty (verso 23). CONCLUSION. Tho lejson shows how a good man may trlumpa over difficul ties (Rom. Mil, 37.) How, in fact, ho may mako difficulties helpful -o tho great purpose of life. (Luku xxl, 12 nnd 13 ) At Mlleta, a shipwrecked prisoner, an utter stranger on an unknown Island, surrounded by superstitious natives, Ro murr soldiers nnd criminals, Paul exer cised his ministry made friends, re ceived honors and gifts.

(Rom. vlll, 2) No evil shall befall tho follow ers of that which Is good. (I Peter, 111, 13) THE RIPPLE COLLAR Is also now, but has not displaced the "Imperial " Chinchilla enjoys renewed prestige; dividing favor with royal ermine for evening wear. Muffs are large, and a stylo with cry full edges Is supposed to bo a companion picture to the "ripplo collar." Neck boaH are large, and ornamented with few or many tails, as price depeitds principal ly upon the number. Narrow fur trim mings trover wero so popular, and street or reception costumes. Independ ent waists, hats and ball dresses, do homage to the prevailing fancy. Tho most elegant opera cloaks are either of fur throughout or lined with fur, and no day or evening out-door garment Is really recherche without a fur trim ming.
