London Letter to the, New York Mail and Express. Speaking of bicycles reminds me of their latest uses in Yondop. Hospital nurses mounted on. “safeties” are not unusual sights in our most crowd thoroughfares, and_with their gauze v demure bon- nets and jangling steel chatelaines, are rather weird, though not always unpleas- ant, spectacles. The Jatest members of the divine feminine to take to the insidious wheel, however, 1s 2 certain community of nuns that lead their secluded lives behind the high brick walls of a convent in one of the West-end suburbs. There always a certain amount of romance and ‘“‘the-world- forgetting-and-by-the-world-forgot”’ atmos- phere about a convent. Folded, prayerful hands, quietly serene faces, gentle voices and midnight vigils seem to breathe of all that is reposeful and devotional. Now, however, in the lovely grounds where at other times the nuns walk and tell their beads is heard the sound of the bicycle bell, and from the Mother Superior down to the youngest lay sister all ride bicycles, of course in the strict seclusion of the con- vent walls. eee Annual Groundhog Day. From the Philadelphia Press. Yesterday was annual groundhog day in Frelinghuysen township, and everybody near and far took a vacation and presented themselves to the township committee, which met at the Warrenwood Hotel in Marksboro. The couatry folks came by wagon, on foot and on bikcs, and it was a most amus- ing sight to witness the bundles they brought with them, all sizes and shapes, and one old lady brought a little train trunk, which she sald was a century old, and which contained 200 all carefully packed and well” Ged age! The township committee offered fifty cents bounty on all groundhogs, and eleven cents for all fox scalps. This was a big incentive to the country folk, and for a whole year they have set traps. and hunted the pestiferous hog and the poultry- destroying fox, with great success. a Lived Under the School House. From the New York Herald. While Sheriff Bower. was on his way to Markato, in Blue Earth county, Minn., he discovered a bicycle partially concealed in the grass by the roaéside. Learning that it had been stolen, the machine was watch- ed, and a man giving the name of Cyrus Grey was arrested when he came to take the bicycle away. He said that for two years he had secret- ly made his home under a school house eight miles from town.

The Force of Traction Directed by a Balloon. From the Mlustrirte Zeitung. A mountain railway built on quite a novel plan was tested last year on a small scale, end is to be shortly opened in a different locality for regular service. The principal feature of the new system is that the force of traction is directed vertically upward, and is derived from a balloon. A siugie rail is used for the only purpose of oes ing the course of the train and keeping ‘he balloon with its load captive: To this end the rail is made T-shaped, and the car runs on it, gripping it from the sides and from below. The rail is anchored to the ground at distances of about fifteen feet. In the descent the propelling force is gra’ ity, and the balloon acts as a check 2 pre- vent accelerated motion, A ballast o: wee ter, taken up at the top of the mountain, provides the additional downward force re- quired. The truck carries the water re- ceptacle, which can be opened by the — nauts during the journey. The truck = receptacle together welgh about 690 poun: 8, and when there is no wind the receptacle carries about 1,100 pounds of water, — = ing a total weight of 1,760 pounds. en it is windy the strain between the —— ond the truck is diminished by letting the water out of the receptacle, thus compen- sating for the difference in power. The @ifference in weight caused by the/passen- gers entering or leaving the car is regu- lated by the use of separate weights, a sufficient number of which will be kept at ion. favorable, and the inventors, Messrs. Vol- derauer and Brackebusch, are preparing to build a similar line to run up the Hoch- stauffen, ‘near Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria. The inventors purpose making a balloon with a diameter of 65 feet 7 inches and a lifting power of 10,560 pounds. The balloon car, net, rope, etc. weigh 4,620 pounds, and an allowance of 3,300 pounds is made for passengers and aeronauts, leaving a margin of 2,640 pounds. There is a storage house.where the bal- loon may be left in case of storm, and all pessible measures are observed to insure safety of the passéngers. the absolute ety Sppropriate for no reason why the enterprise id not prove entirely success! ———__ +e+—____.
