A BOY'S LESSON. It Was Graphically Dinh of J From the New York Times. “Ho is the white-hairad boy who answers the telephone in the office of the Metropolitan Steamship Company, a bright, polite youngster, who goes to a night school, and whose reasoning is equal to many men’s. Mr. Walker, the veteran ex2cutive of the office, wheeled around in his chair the other day and gravely listened. “Do you know, Mr. Walker, my grand- father says that a boy forms all his habits according to the company he keeps, If It is bad company. he forms vad habits. If it Is good company, he Is sound and good.” “Yes,” said Mr. Walker, thou: guess grandfather is about right. “We had a dish of appies on the table when grandfather told me tnis, and there a speck on one of them. Grandfather : . Howard, put that dish of ap. lustrated by a ples. the closet, and don't let anybody touch them.

It was all done at full speed, for it was uni- versally held that the upper yardmen gave a character to the whole ship, and that one which waa foremost in the exercise was ever considered “the smartest ship in the fleet.” The upper yardmen were always the coming men. They had most opp tunities for distinguishing themselves, w the best Known, and were most under the eye of the authorities. They developed great muscular power In chest, shoulde: and arms, Their lower extremities suf re ed, and one always knew the men who had been ur yardmen by thelr tadpole-like appear when they were bathing. But in®the modern steam line-of-hattle ship and frigate these extremely athletic specimens formed a very small minority of the “ship company,” and none of them could lose his turn at being upper yardme so long as the ship's reputation depended upon the speed with which the upper yards Were crossed and sent down. In harbor the rest of the blue jackets had the hand- ling of the yards and sails for exercise once or twice a week, but at sea the use of salis fer propulsion grew less and less import- ant, and most of the work aloft was more of an exe and less of a-necessity. [ABOUT BICYCLES Mr. A. G. Spelding’s Views on the Future Wheel. CHANGES IN CONSTRUCTION What the Big Manufacturers Have Agreed On. NEXT YEAR'S GUARANTEE Mr. A. G. Spalding, the president of the national board of trade of cycle manu- facturers, was In this city on a business trip the fore part of last week. In his po- sition he is perhaps the best informed man in the country in bicycle manufacturing, and what he says comes very near being correct. In this connection a few words regard- ing the association of which he is the head will rot be amiss. The membership is composed entirely of bicycle manufac- turers, who have banded together for self protection on a similar, though larger plan, than the organization of the local dealers. Mr. Spalding was the leading spirit in the organization of the national board of trade of cycle manufacturers. The meetings of the board not only regulates the business of the firms composing it, but the outside corporations are governed to a considerable extent by the deliberations of the body. The Bicycle Guarantee. At the last meeting of the board the fol- lowing resolution was adopted, which is of interest to all wheelmen, The resolution reads: That the following form of guar- antee be recommended to the members of the board of trade as the standard board of trade guarantee: The manufacturer of this bicycle guarantees to replace or repair any defect in this bicycle, for a period not exceeding six months from date of sale to original purchaser, provided that salisfac- tory proof of such sale is given, and that such defect is not the result of misuse or neglect, and that the defective part be de- livered to such manufacturer for inspec- tion. A great many of the members of the board of trade have expressed their will- ingness to incorporaie this guarantee in their 1896 catalogues. in other words.many of the wheels placed on the market the coming season will only be guaranteed for six months instead of a year, as has heretofore been the case. This is not apt to prove a very popular move. If the construction of a bicycle is a com- bination of good maierial and skilled work- manship, it should matter but little to the manufacturer whether the guarantee ran for a year or for six months. When aske reporter about the generai d les for next year, Mr, Spalding gave his views freely. “All of the makers of high-grade machines, said he, “will use considerably larger tub- ing. The tubing in the lower rails and the gseat-post tube will most probably be one and one-eighih inches in diameter, while the head tubing will be about one and one- quarter inches in diameter. The tubing in the rear seats and forks will be about five- eighths and three-quarter inches. There is some danger, however, in going into ex- tremes in the matter. The larger the tub- ing the heavier the weight of the bicycle, and to lower the weight the thickness of the tubing has to be reduced. If an extra large ameter of tubing is used, the thick- hess would have to be reduced consider- ably for the sake of lightness, and this is apt to be done to such an extent as to make the frame construction too weak. The Weight of Machines. “T hardly think that the weight of the machines will be reduced much next year. The light wheels of this season will not be improved upon in this respect, the im- provement being directed in the general used machine, ‘Then, again, the road ma- while the construction will be the advantage will be somewhat by the use of heavier tires. The cing machines will ranze hetween nine- teen and twenty pounds, while the road wheels I range from. twenty-two to twenty-six pounds. The past season has demonstrated that riders for road pur- es prefer a larger pneumatic tire, which appears to give general satisfacticn, and on this account heavier tires will be sed on the road wheels. Another thing, single tube tires will be ail the call next year, this being a noticeable preference of wheel- men. Saddies he question of saddles {s being brought up, and next season there is a likelihood of a radical change. The improvements in the bicycle have apparently narrowed down, and attention is paid to the smallest details. Saddles, which add to the pleas- ure of cycling by Increased comfort, are demanded. More attention will be paid to the manufacture of b:cycles for female riders, as the demand in this direction t- creased wonderfully during the year. There is a tendency to return to the use of wider handle bars than are now fash- jonable. There is also an inclination among some manufacturers to shorten the wheel base in order to give greater rigid- ity to the machine. In the wheel of next year the closest attention is being paid to the construction of the crank hanger, bearing parts, the joints of the frame, and the adjustment of, saddles and handle bars. Wheels and Spokes. The diameter of the wheels will remain about the same, but for the sake of strength more spokes will be used. Many manufacturers, while using tangent spokes, will not twine them together as hereto- fore, because in truing a wheel an ordinary repair man will neglect to untie the spokes and the consequence {s that only the up- per part of the spokes are tightened, n ing an unequal strain. Barrel hubs will be used on almost all cf the wheels next year.” The Prices, When asked ‘f there was any probability of a reduction in the price of high-grade machin Mr. Spalding said: “No, there is not the least likelihood of this being done. For every $100 invested in a high-grade wheel the purchaser gets 310) worth of bicycle. While there might le some slight foundation, it is not fair to compare the cost of ab le with a sew- ing machine or other like inventions. ‘The fallibility of such comparisons is appar- ent when the slight 4 which the public makers to use in the'r m idered. The demand is for a very ight wheel to carry & y weight, and to accompiish this only th st material can be used in the cons In workma: pend tu money n made for expenditures of and hew es for uchev ng satistac- tory results with less material, the pub- lic little realizing the amount of time, thought and money consumed inthe change of models from year to year. Were the same wheels made and sold rafter ar the cost of the wheel would be re- duced. “It can be truthfully asserted that there has never been an article of merchandise tured which has given the pub- turn for its money greater bene- the bieyele. It cannot be denied that the machine has founded the for- tunes of a great number of manufacturers, and manufacturers without number have been attracted to the field, and like all branches of trade this is soon apt » overdone. The opinion of many man- ufacturers is that the turn point in the with business will be reached next year, and at it will be a survival of the fittest. the exception of 1891, despite the in the fleld, the supply of safety has never been equal to the de- The Year's Output. Mr. Spalding, to back up his statements, cited a few figures which he had compiled cn the subject. The sales of bicycles this year reached the astounding number of 500,000, The increase in the production for next year has been estimated at from 50 to 100 per cent, and at the last men- tioned rate the output for next year will reach the extraordinary large number of 1,000,000 Wheels, Which, at $100 each, will sresent an outlay of 310,000,000 for cy- cling alone. In round numbers, the popula- tion of the United States fs 65,000,000, but bicycles can only be used to advantage in a territory represented by two-thirds of this country. In otHer words, the wheel can be used in states the population of which is 45,000,00@1 With an output of 1,000,000 wheels next year this represents the sale of a bicy¥le to one out of every forty-five of the population. This is only for the new crop of wheels, and there are no means of ascertaining the number of old wheels which will be ridden. When this fact is taken, Into consideration the ratio would be reduced considerably. This ratio includes men, :wemen and children, and barring the infants and others unable to ride, the ratio Wo! be more apt to be one rider out of twenty-five of ridable population. Mr. Spalding was surprised at the number of wheelmen in this city. The smooth and broad streets, he thought, made a regular cyclers’ paradise, and he did not wonder that the local wheelmen took advantage of such inducements for cycling. The weather last Saturday was rather threat- ening, and on Sunday the rain made things disagreeable. Had the weather been clear Mr. Spalding would doubtless have been much more surprised at the number of wheels ridden. The Barred Racers. In connection with this it is well to re- mark that he is championing the cause of Cabanne, Titus and Murphy, who were held up for unfair riding at St: Louis on August 24, and whose suspersions were announced by the racing board of ihe League of American Wheelmen last week as follows: By vote of the racing board, Messrs. L. D. Cabanne, St. Louis, Mo.; c. M. Murphy, Brooklyn, Y., and F. J. Titus, New York city, N. Y., have been placed upon the list of racing men who are rermanently barred from further partici- pation in league: races. ‘This suspension dates from September 2, 1895, the men hav- ing been permitted to ride under protest, pending settlement of their case. No case in the history of the League of American Wheelmen has created so much interest, and the result will likely be the taking ‘away of racing control from this organization and transferring it to some other organization, most likely the Na- tional Board of Trade of Cycle Manufac- turers. The arbitrary action of the racing board has rot only incensed Mr. Spalding, but almost all other manufacturers having vacing teams on the road. The star cham- ber proceedings of the racing board and the refusal to grant an open trial are made the basis of the attack. Mr. Spalding claims that the league is incompetent to handle a case of this kind, and he is push- ing the matter hard, in fact, almost too hard for Chairman Gideon and the other members of the racing board. — CABBIES © MEXICO, The Worst Drivers of Public and Private Carringes on Earth. From the Measican Herald The sad circumstances which surround Paymaster Hill's death bring to mind the curious coincidence that within a hundred yards of the spot where he received his fatal injuries three men have been knock- ed down and run over by carriages. Reck- less driving was in each case the cause of the accident. The whole street from the Zocalo to the Iron Horse appears, indeed, to be a regular death trap, not only for bicyclists, but also pedestrians. The condition of affairs is this, that, al- though there are some of the best riders cn earth in Mexico Ci! there are the poor- est lot of drivers. No more painful sight can exist for a traveled man than to watch the average Mexican coachman “navigate” his vehicle.

A PERFECT FS0D FOR INPANTS CHINESE CRIMINALS. Are Allowed to Furnish Substitutes Even in Capital Cases. Washington Dispatch to Chicago Timcs-Herald. Private letters received by the last mail frem China give an account of the execu- tion of nine men who were convicted of complicity of the missionary massacres at Kucheng last summer. Eight of the vic- tims were identified beyond doubt as those who actually murdered the women and children of Dr. Stewart's family. The ninth, whoge name was Wang Tsih, was not connected with the massacre in any way 30 far as the evidence shows, but he volunteered to die in the place of Lio Kuang, his cousin, who is the only son and support of a widow with a number of small children. This is not an uncommon thing in Chinese criminal history. Men often consent to accept vicarious punish- ments for crimes committed by other p sons. Sons have been known to offer them- selves for execution and imprisonment in place of their fathers and brothers, and it is common for rich men who are convicted of crime to hire poor men to suffer the penalty for them. This can be ‘lone with the consent of the officials, who usually de- mand heavy fees, however, before they will give their sanction. Last summer a weaithy merchant who was convicted of maltreating one of his employes in a most brutal manner, so that he afterward died, was sentenced to be beheaded, but he succeeded in hiring a beggar to take his place. The beggar was paid 50 taels, which is about $42 or $43 in our money, but the judge who approved the transaction got several thousand taels as his bribe. After the beggar received his fee he gave himself up to a few days of riotous living, and then surrendered him- self at the jail to relieve his patron. The latter was at once released and went about his_ business. When influential men have been con- yvicted of complicity in missionary massa- eres they usually arrange with the officials to offer substitutes to receive their punish- ment, and innocent persons have been ex- ecuted Instead of the real culprits. In the present case it is believed that all of the men who were beheaded were actually guilty except the one named, but at the same time they were merely the deluded and fanatical followers of more intelligent leaders, who planned and directed the mas- Sacre, and have entirely escaped through the connivance of the viceroy and his sub- ordinate official: The victims decorated themsel with red cloth and gay-colored paper and marched to the execution ground singing war songs. They seemed to be entirely satisfied with the result of their trial, and rather gloried In the notoriety it gave them. No regrets were expressed by any one except a Manchu from northern Chi named Tung Lan Wu, who was popularly known as “The Hungry Tiger.” He made @ speech on the execution ground, in which he exclaimed: “We are here to die today but in what a manner! Is this the reward we deserve for trying to drive foreign dev- ils out of the country? Ought not our friends and our leaders to come and bid us farewell? It makes me indignant to think of their contemptible conduct.” The executions took ce upon a plot of ground just outside the city of Kucheng, and were witnessed by several thousand people. The prisoners’ hands were tied be- hind their backs and their ankles were fet- tered. They were made to kneel in a row upon the ground about eight feet apart. As the headsman approached each one his assistant the prisoner's queue, pulled it over the top of his head and held his face down so that his nose almost touched his knees. The executioner then struck a single blow with a heavy two- handed sword, aiming at the middle of the neck. Only one head was entirely severed by the first blow. The rest were hacked two or three times, and the last two strug- gled in death agony for several minutes. Three of the nine accepted the penalty with silence, but the others died with the most profane and obscene vituperations upon their lips, all directed at the “foreign devils.” ——__-+ e+ —__—_ 0 MOTION AT SEA. An Invention That ts Suid to Prevent Sea Sickness. From Gassell’s Magazine. A steady platform at sea—most people who have been the sport of the sad sea waves will be attracted by the subject of this paper. They must not be disappointed, howeve finding that as yet its advantage is enjoy only by search-light projectors, but must hope, as they may, with reason, that before long it will be extended to suffering human- ity. Probably some one, at first sight of the problem, will suggest that this object may be attained without much difficulty by connect- ing, in some way. the to-be-steadied object with a pendulum, or by converting it into a pendulum by suspending it on a pivot and ballasting heavily below, and he will point to the bowl of the mariner’s compass or to the swing table commonly used on board yachts as examples of objects steadied by this means, But if he will look along the top edge of the compass bowl, or the table, at the horizon, he will see that the steadiness thus obtained is of the same order as that of the ship's deck. The ship Itself is a pen- dulum kept upright in still water by ballast, and causes which make it depart from up- rightness act with the like effect on pendu- lums placed upon it. The first practical machine to insure steadiness of objects at sea was fitted up on a steam yacht and subjected to a laborious course of experiment by the captains of H. M. ships Vernon and Excellent, the torpedo and gunnery ships at Portsmouth, England, as a means of mounting both search-light projectors and machine guns, It has, in con- sequence, been fitted to gunbéats in the Brit.

The sensation of steadiness while seeing the ship rolling and pitching about under one was a curious one, and many people who tried it exclaim- ed that here at last was an alleviation, if not a perfect remedy, for sea sickness.” It is true that the rising and falling motion is still there, but this can be to a great extent avoided by taking a position somewhere about midway between the bow and the stern. But the angular motion of pitching and rolling is equally great in all parts of the ship, and can be escaped only by some such contrivance as here considered. A small cabin kept steady by an apparasus of this kind could be easily fitted on the English channel steamers for seats in which many persons would be glad to pay a high price on a rough day. | —___+ e+ -____ First Kill Your Rabbit.
