IN THE WHEELING WORLD It eoems as yesterday when In the middle of the ' "Oa the bicycle emerged finally from the chrysalis of the bone-shnker Into the "spider-wheels" and India rubber tires of the early wheels ; things of beauty then , but of horror now , In those day all the presentable machines 1.1 the world , If placed In a straight line , would have reached hut a mile or two , says the Cycling West Today the world'a bicycles would form u continuous girdle long enough to encircle the earth at the equator. It Is estimated thnt there arc now no fewer than 20,000,000 blcyclei throughout the world , of which Germany atone claims more than 3,000,000 , or one machine for every seventeen of Its population , while the aggregate num ber of machines Is roughly one for every seventy-five of the entire population of the world. There figures are nlomst too stupendous to grasp , but If It were possible to gather into ono vast nrmy all the world's cyclists they would outnumber all the armed soldiers ot Europe ( on a pence footing ) by more than five to one. Patent office reports show that there still continues to be great activity among the In ; ventorn of blcjclo Improvements. The de mand for longer cranks hns directed atten tion anew toward the problem of cranks with a \arlabfe throw , to be regulated by the rider at pleasure. Grave doubt has been cast upon anything of this character ever being practicable , but the ingenuity being con stantly expended on the subject seems to IHJ bringing the desired end nearnr. One of the best looking of recent patents Is tbat Is sued to a Massachusetts man , In which the crank fits into a cylindrical slcove on the crank shaft nnd Is held by a tension device thnt permits of the crank being lengthened when thcro is extra pressure applied to the pedal , as In climbing a hill. Devices designed to reduce the vibration felt by wheel riders iavo been brought out by scores In the past few jcars. A demand for them hns been created by the Increase in the number of middle-aged riders who ob ject to the Jar of the ordinary rlcld frame blcj-clcs. The objection to most of the nntl- vlbrntlon contrivances has been thnt they affected the lateral firmness of the machine. The newest Invention of this kind Is ono essentially different from any previously seen and ono thnt seems to bo free from the common objection mentioned , whatever others may be found ngnlnst it. The plan theoretically Is to have two hubs in the front mhecl. one within the other. The wheel revolves about the larger hub , whllo the smaller hub revolves inside the other one. A clock spring Inside the outer hub holds both In a certain position. When an obstacle is struck the spring yields so that the Inner hub can move out of Its relative place nnd the Jnr be taken up nt the hub nnd not Imparted to the frame. The outer hub Is scnrcely larger than those now In nvernge use. When moving over a smooth surface the Inner hub docs not revolve. The Idea Is that of an Englishmen and ns yet has not been Introduced here. An English Judge , more Just than gallant , before whom a man and his wife were ar raigned for scorching , fined the woman twice as much as ho did the man because she was a couple ot lengths In advance. An evidence that cycle stealing Is a busi ness systematically followed by a number of professional crooks was afforded when two men with complaints met recently In a police elation , In New York City. One was a young rider who had bought a chain ! esa wheel , and , desiring to exhibit It to some friends , rode It to ono of the best known social clubs and left U standing against the lower pillar of the front etoop. When he came out with his friends the wheel was gone. At first a Joke was suspected , but , this idea being dissipated , the police were sought. After the young man bad finished telling his story the captain turned to an other in cycling costume , who had been n listener , and the expression on the captain's face was significant of a thorough compre hension of what had happened. The rldor , who had heard about the -wheel stolen from In front of the club , sold that ho , a few minutes previously , had bought a chalnless wheel and paid $25 for It to a m n in n cycling rig , -who had related one of the most probable and Impenetrable of "hard luck" stories. He rode the .wheel to a store less than three blocks from where ho bought It and loft it in front. When he Bought It a few minutes later It was gone. There was no doubt left , when descriptions were com pared , that it waa the same wheel that had been stolen from in front of the club. So far as the police know , the same thief Is atlll reselling nnd resteallng that cbalnlcas wheel at a profit of ? 25 a day , and having no trouble of any kind. A policeman sat on a trolley car that was running along Jamaica avenue , Brooklyn , says the New York Sun. The car * a speeding at about twenty miles an hour , as they usually do In thnt district. A cyclist was racing with the car , nn the rlJere out that way frequently do. The motorman , conductor and passengcru were enjoying the race. The policeman looked on in silence for awhile , and then , -whon the -wheelman came alongside so as to be very close to him , the ofilcer called out : "You'd better quit there or you'll be ar rested for scorching. " The rider called 'back ' : "Say , Mister , 'Cop , ' hadn't jou better arrest the car driver for exceeding the speed limit ? " The cyclist then dropped back before the polleeman got a chance to stop the car and arrest him for his Impudence. A piece of common neap can be obtained at any hotel or farm house , and It is a great thing for a rider who finds that bisvalve Is leaking. All that is necessary to stop the escape of air Is to press It over the top so as to make a smooth seal. It will ot course be found necessary to first malnten the cake of soap , and care should bo taken when plugging the top of the valve not to depress the plunger within and plug It fo that the escape Is greater than before. When a tourist IB in such an unpopuloui district thnt he cannot get soap a piece of damp clay -will answer the purpose , Thn Swedleh customs authorities have Is sued a regulation providing that hereafter all Invoices for foreign goods Imported into Sweden must foe signed by the vendor Im mediately under tbo not amount of the In voice , nnd duly verified , ot&erwlie the uooda will not be passed through the custom house. The duty on complete foreign ma- i bines Is about J7 apiece ; on parts 60 cents a kllogtamwithout regard to their oiigln. To this must be added 1 per cent ol thi Import duty for harbor fees. Machines fol Importation must bo packed In sackcloth or straw , and must be covered , singly or to gether , with basket work. In a punning spirit a bicycle paper prlnla the following : "Stout persons are recom- mendud to ride "with dropped handle bars It will make them lean. " According to athletic trainers there U more fact than Jeet In this statement , If the stout men and women who ride to get thin would lean over more they would have greater success. The trouble with the /at men -who have big stomachs to reduce la that they ride latlly. They sit bolt upright and at ease and pedal slowly , they take Jutt enough exercise and fresh air to improve their digestion and increase their appetite , Consequently they grow stouter and declare that the bicycle U use less for reducing weight. It li work , and painful work , to reduce flesh by c > cling , an the rftcinx men and Jockeyi * nd puillliu who try It Know , The utoiit ones \sho [ nlll not punish them el\e a bit cannot hope for much success It Is .in oM formulfc that for a big stomach jawing wood M a flrstrale remcdjIt Is not comfortable for persons of this build to bend n\er as In saving wood , but on a bicycle thev can do It ft little at first and Increase the bend as they decrease the flesh , and In this way need not punish thpmsehe * too much. They should , of rour e , takp something more than pleasure rides , they should scorch all they can and perspire Mark Twain and his friend. Hev. Joseph II. Twltchcll , once planned a bicycle rldo from Hartford , Conn ( their home ) , to no- ton , and wrote beforehand to an acquaint ance In the latter city , telling him their line of route and what time he mlht expect to Bee them arrive The appointed dny was nn Ideal one for a long run and the t\\o friends started quite early In the morning Hut neither ot them was accustomed to long rides , so after twel\o or fifteen miles had been ridden It became apparent that each of the rldcru was waiting for the other to sav something. Tlnallj Twain atd ns they came In sight of the railway station In a small town they had entered"Let's take the train the rest of the way " Ot course Mr. Trtltchcll agreed , and so the acquaintance In Boston was surprised by seeing the two friends walk up to his door about 1 o'clock In the afternoon. HP hud not expected them till c\enlng , but he Krecled them warmly and addressing Mr. TwHchell said"Well , you made pretty good time , didn't you' " "Oh , fairly good time for novices , " was the reply. "What time did you len\o Hartford ? " he nskcd of Mr. Clemens. "About 7 a. m. "What , you don't mean to say that > ou hn\e ridden all the wav from Hartford to Boston on your bicycles ! " "No , " replied .Mark Twain , "but we rode far enough to demonstrate that It could be done.

BURDEN OF PROOF IS SHIFTED ! Prosecution Must ( Jndcrtako the Task of Showing Dreyfns1 Quilt.

NBW VOUK , Aug. 5 The Paris corre spondent of the Tribune , discussing the questions on which the coming Urcifus court-martial will hinge , s.i > s. One of the consequences ot the judgment delivered 1 > > the court of cassation on June 3 has been to shift the burden of proof from the pris oner to the prosecution. At the court- martini ot 1S94 It was Incumbent upon Cap tain Urejfus to prove that ho was Innocent ot the charges brought against him. This was In accordance with Trench law , which places the burden of proof upon the accuscil. Hut at the Heiines court-martini Cafitnin Dreyfus will nppcnr as tin ofilcer who has been Illegally condemned and will not bo obliged to prove his Innocence It will be for the prosecution to prove he Is gulltv The Issue relegated by the court of cassation to the Itcnnes court-mnrtlal for trial Is nnr- revved down to the single question , whether or not Captnln Drojfna communicated to a foreign power the precise documents enu merated In the bordereau. There Is nothing in the bordereau to show that Cnptnln Dre > - fus had been following treasonable practices or to connect him in any manner with It , bejond nn nlleged similarity between the hnndvvriling ot Dreyfus nnd thnt of the nil- tor of the bordorenu. The court of cassntlon hns decided that the bordereau was written by Hstorhnzy nnd not by Drejfus The couit of cassation has already passed judgment upon all the other evidence ml- duced against Drcvfus In 1894. Including the confession of guilt fnlsoly alleged to have been made b > Drejfus In Jninmrj , 1893 , to Cnptnln Lcbrun-Honaud nnd to Sergeant Do- pert , ns well ns tin ; famous secret dossier , with Its forgeries and criminally manipu lated documents. All that Is legally left standing after the elimination by the court of cnssntlon of the Irregularities that visited the conviction of IS'I ' ) Is the bordoieau , which the court of cassation on June 3 declared was not written by Drejfus The functions of the Uennes court-martial arc now limited to hearing evidence and deckling upon the subject of the alleged communication by Cap tain Drejfus to n foreign power of the docu ments enumerated In the bordereau , now known to hnvc been written by nsterhazj , as he himself has confessed. Drejfus was unacquainted with Esterhnzy when the bor dereau was written nnd It may be safe to predict thnt It will be practically Impossible for the prosecution to prove at the forth coming trial at Uennes that Cnptnln Drej fus handed over to a foreign power the doc uments In question General do Galllfet , minister of war , has Issued Instructions to Major Cnrrlcre , gov ernment commlssnry at the Ilcnnes court- martial , to Insure that the court-martial shall not Invalidate Us own future decisions by deciding upon matters not Involved In the Immediate Issue. These Instruction ? simply pin the court-martial down to thn bordereau nnd at the same tlmo leave the prosecution the utmost freedom as to the methods It may BOO fit to use In order to prove Its case. IN EXCHANGE FOR GOLD COIN Ti-ennnry IJciiiirtiiipnt Will Print 910- OOOO)0 ( ) Cold rrrtlllcntcN In lc- iionilnntlniiH of ! ? - < > Illicit. WASHINGTON , Aug. G The Treasury department today made requisition upon the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for the printing of $10,000,000 gold certificates In denominations of $20 each. The treasury now holds a large unissued supply of certifi cates of the larger denominations. It Is the evident Intention of the Treasury depart ment to be In a position to issue gold cer tificates freely for gold coin , should the fall movement of currency lead to a demnnd nt the treasury for gold certificates In exchange for gold coin. It Is to bo noted that while gold coins can be freely had In denomina tions of fives and tons , tbo law restricts the Issue of gold certificates to denominations of $20 or multiples thereof. It is a debatable question , "therefore " , whether gold certificates will adequately meet the demand for money of small denominations. It Is now apparent that In the fall move ment of the crops there will be a pressing demand if or more currency or paper monoj. As this can bo furnished In no other way than by the Issue of gold certificates , there will undoubtedly bo n demand more or loss great upon the treasury for such certificates against the deposit of gold coin. The sub-treasury at San Francisco has already ibeen notified by wire to resume the Issue of gold certificates on deposits of gold and in payment over the counter of gov ernment obligations. The other sub-treas uries have been notified to the same effect by letter , which they will receive before business houm on Monday morning. The sub-treasurers have also been advised that the government will ship them nn addi tional supply of gold certificates today of what Is known as department series In de nominations ranging from $20 to $1,000 , and aggregating about 410,000,000. H is antici pated that the gold certificates most In de mand will bo what Is known ns "to order certificates. " These 'will ' bo Issued on re quest to individual depositors of gold and In their own names in sums ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 each. The government now 1ms In its vaults be tween $88,000,000 and $90,000,000 In zo ] ( [ cer tificates of what is known as the series of 1888 , and tlieso will bo supplied on demand until others can be printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. U will bo re called that Secretary CarllHlo suspended the Issue of cold .certificates by an order pro- mulcated April 11 , 1S93. His authority for BO doing -v.ua that contained in section 12 of the act of July 12 , 1S9A whlc-h made It obligator ) on the secretary of the treasury to suspend the issue whenever the gold re serve in the treasury should /all below $100,000,000. $ This question of resuming the Isauo of gold certificates , which was suspended by Secretary Cat lisle , lias been under consider ation by Secretary Gage for several monthn , Ho lias given the question bis bcbt thought and It is believed secured the views of other leading financiers throughout the country before taking this step.
