Tli Curium Oil Wlieeleil Machine In veiitml hf a Nt. Louis (jaiilut. Joseph Ilrietetnmiawr, a St. Louis ran clmiiio, claims t) have Invented a bicycle which possesses In one respect the valu able quality known as perpetual motion. Ilis model is a very curious looking fif- t. 1i .ii u i a t a 4t CH g!g!i"ii h O.' 1 , eight feet in height, mailt of atcel anil Copper wire and a small cast iron wheel. which, instead or being in front or be hind, an nil email wheels of bicycles are, Ih on the right hand aide. Tho rider, in stead of being perched on the top of the machine, Rita in a email recess nlout three feet in diameter upon a alidlnjc aeat running uikiii cilit eliding grooved wheels in the center of the largo wheel. 1 1 i feet arc in a ktruddle position; tliut Ih, one on each aide, and refct upon two foot re.ilH, wlili h are fuMcned lo the w-M by liiiaim of ated rods. lo act the curiouH luachino in motion the rider leans forward, thus changing tho center of gravity Bnd causing the wheel to revolve. The licit move in to re-establish the center of gravity, but according to the inventor the center can not tm found and tho wheel con tin lies revolving, gaining eed at each turn. There Is no limit to the ced obtainable. The edges of both wheel ore grooved and can lie lined on a railroad track a well tu on tho ground. By means of a iM.'Ciiliar arrangement of canvas, which covcra thu aleei auokes near the center and forma an air tight apace which cx temli around the wheel, the Inventor Bays tho structure can travel in water ac w ell na on land. The canvas, when the inachino ia used on land, aervea a an umbrella to ahiuld the rider from the aun and rain. Tho machine can be mado to complete a circle by simply throwing the weight on the opposite aide from which the rider dinirts to go. A passenger can le can-ied by simply extending the acat to the small wheul. The seat does not move w hen tho machine ja in pxratlon; in fact, it acta aa the axle, allowing the wheel to slide around it. Mr. Driclem- iiiowT claims that the heavier the load carried tho quicker the machine can travel. The model ia aa yet a very crude look ing affair.

The region was one of the last strong holds of the native Californians. Helen Hunt Jackson collected a good deal of material a few monlha before her death in thu oh town of Han Luis, from the Kpanitdi priests there, and would perhaps have written another Ciilifornian novel if she had had one more year of life. She thought that tho region combined to a remarkable degree the peculiar charms of northern and southern California, and hIid often Apoho of ita "waMe wealth of literary material." My thoughts, were turned to San LuIb the other day by tho' n.'i-j from there- that a man had found a band of wild hornes in the mountains and had ca tiit'ed a!oiiL tvTity hi u cuiu!.

In one cao, in early times, i Spanish land owner was persuaded to buy an American plow and sow gome wheat. Ho had four or (he nmatunga tied to the plow beam, put boye on the wilh Fcveral Indians hangin;'to the plow handles. Every now nnd then the mus tangs flew out on the plowed ground and kicked "fur ull they weii) worth." After a little while tho old Don was heard to My: What men these Americans are! How hard they work for nothing!" And ao Im went back to his brush harrow One of tho characters of San Luis died a short time ago. IIo was a frontiers ninn, known over thousands of square miles of mountain and valley as "Uncle Hilly of Josephine." IIo was a griszled giant, certainly tho coolest and strongest man In the region, nnd ho kept a post oflico and a store. IIo was u blacksmith, a school trustee, and a few things be sides, especially a wheel horse at camp tm djngs One night two Mexican miners tried to rob tho old man, The door wob shut, but ho threw the foremost Mexican Ci'irf.'"1: J ela into the road, and then, putting his arras tOUt the three others, shoved them en musso through the splinters and fragments of tho broken dor.

The Two Climates of California. There have been forty miles of snow- sheds on the line of the Central Pacilio railroad In the high Sierra these many years. At this altitude, or at the height equal to tho summit of Mount Washing ton, in New Hampshire, the snow in such exceptionable winters aa this is de cidedly troublesome to the railroad peo ple. From the vicinity of Mount Shasta north for nearly a hundred miles, the snow falls every winter. Onco in twenty years the snow at the highest altitude fails on the mountains to such a depth aa ia found there this winter. California has both a winter and a spring climate at the same time. While the mountains have been literally buried in tho snow and railway trains havo had a hard time in getting through the drifts, and many cattle have perished In ultitudca where in ordl 'yiry wtura tly And open paa"' tures, especially in tho valleys, among the mountains, it has actually been spilliH foi' 700 liiilen ti'oiig tbe r.:t, iilid Inland until an nluiu.U.. c.'.i.;u.n0 i,...J feet lias been reached, for the last three months, or since the early rains began.
