SOME CYCLE CHAT The suggestion made by Major Wm. G. Moore, the superintendent of police, in his I annual report, regarding the marking ef tke wheel should be observed by all cyclists in the city. There are few riders who can identify their machines without some special mark, and in the case of a new wheel there are not many who could tell their mount frcm that of somebody el After a wheel has been used for some time there are certain pecullar marks | that happen to the wheel or certain other things, such as the wearing of the tires, the c nd position of thé spokes, some indentation or scratch on the frame, or other small events that may not mean much to anybody else but the rider, and to whom the value is only so much as it serves for the purpose of identification. These marks are unreliable, however, and mistakes are apt to occur. Coincidences are not rare, and tt may happen that the ma- chine of some other rider may have almost the same marks from wear and tear as your own machine, and this would avail ASHTON MD. ROUTE B. ;run_on a level. ain is in good working order it lying perfee: [level at any point between the two sp | ets. There are a good n | | cf marking the wheel are numerous, and there are a number of methods that can be used. Some seratch a mark on the en- | amel of the lower bar of the frame, where it is seen by everybody, and where it does | not mar the general apppearance of the | machine. Another way is to scratch off a | | smali portion of the enamel, and let the | marie be eaten on the steel frame by acids. }A coat of enamel will paruy hide the | mark, but not completely. The method of | making such a mark is as follows: Scrape | of a small portion of the enamel, and | thoroughly clean the tube. Cover the spot with grease and let it harden. Take a rp-pointed iron instrument and ratch itials or mark on the spot. Pour carbolie acid on the marks and the in- scription will be transferred to the frame. The grease wili prevent the acid from eating the other parts of the frame. ! There are stronger acids that could be used for this purposé, but carbolic acid is perhaps the best to use. A French expert has a novel method of testing the quality of steel that enters into the construction of the bicycle, pecially the frame, which shows up all di fects, such as irregularit of structure, flaws, sand holes, and also whether the steel is made up of one or two kinds of Will prevent rusting. Steel is disting from iron by the application of nitric slightly diluted. A few drops of t turn steel black, while iron will the color ef a grayish white. cases the metal is rinsed in w: ter the acid has been applied. Steel iurns black on account of the freeing of the car- bon in its construction by the application of the acid, while the effect on iron is to bring it to its almost original color.

It is a gocd idea to pay some attention to the lamp he weather will soon be ex- tremely pleasant for evening riding, and a good lamp is a splendid thing. It not only serves to protect the rider from in- fringing upon the law, but alds him con- siderably in picking out good riding ground.

Monday a committee of the cycle hoard of trade, composed of Messrs. John Woerner, Lut [ttle tn the matter of identification. ‘The number of a machine is a good thing, but there are few riders who know the number of their machines. In some makes of wheels the number is hidden completely, and hard wo find, and is cften covered so prueey with enamel as to be of no use at all. The best way {s to have some orivate mark—something which you are sure no « ot wi. iupiiaate—and plaee it some- where on the machine where it will be plainly seen. Do not be satisfied to paste or attach anything to the machine itself, as a thief can easily erase such. The ways would not have gotten in the toils had they paid proper attention to the lamp. Every time a lamp is refilled with oil a thorough cleaning should be given it and the wick carefully cleaned. This necessi- tates only four or five minutes’ work, yet there are very few riders who give this ttle space of time to such a purpose, judging by the few clean lamps seen. The accumulation of dirt and soot in-the lamp and on the burner, besides makjng it dis- agreeable to handle and dimming the bril- Nancy of the light, is often the cause of much smcke and sickening odor, and the best of lamps is soon ruined. If a little \ care is bestowed on:this useful adjunct to riding such would:net be the case. nive How many wheelmen are there who se- riously object to pumping up a tire with the little handpump? It is, indeed, a slow process, but its yalue is demonstrated when out on the read many miles from any habitation. The easy working of the pump will go a good way toward abolish- ing the objections to such an operation. When a pump works, hard it is usually ad- Yisabie to put a little oil on the piston rod. The good effect will be almost instantan- eous, and there will not be near so much the dread of pumping up a tire by this pro- cess. Generally there is a good deal of air escaping from a handpump, and if this is the case it is suggested that a new washer be placed in position. This can be easily, done, and a plece of leather cut from,an cld shoe will often serve the purpose admirably. It 1s a fovlish thing for a rider to en- deavor to propel the machine when any- thing is wrong. Some riders when they get a puncture will ride the tire flat over the most miserable of roads. As a result the steel rim cuts the rubber so badly that a new tire is necessary, or the wooden rim is damaged, or a clincher rim is mashed or broken. Another foolish thing is to ride a wheel with any of the balls broken. This is quite frequent, but a broken ball can easily be told by both the hard run- ning of the bicycle and the grating, grind- ing noise that will emanate from the vor- tion of the machine in which the break cecurs. As soon as such is discovered the best method to pursue is to remove the broken parts at once. If left in position they will destroy the cones by wearing grooves in them. The absence of a ball or two will not materially affect the run- ning of the machine, and it is a simple matter to take the bearings apart. There has been a measure of complaint from the clergy that the popularity of the bicycle has lessened the attendance at the churches. There {s doubtless ground for the complaint. Thousands of peovle en- gaged in business during the week have little opporturity for indulging in wheeling except on Sunday. Some of the churches have sought to cater to the cycling ele- ment by providing store rooms for wheels in the basemen These facilities have been taken advantage of to some extent, yet the congregations do not include a very NEW CONGRESSMEN (Continued from Sixteenth Page.) ftieth Congres. ant for the seat oceuvied by Repre- entative Tucker in the Fifty-fourth Con- He is a small, sharp-featured man cen intellect.
