Son Dorcn on V1icv1n. The bicycle fever has broken out in a most unexpected quarter. It is only natural that a landsman should take to that speedy meth od of locomotion, but who would ever think thht seamen would get the craze? Perhaps it is because they have become accustomed to rolling. Nearly every British ship that coineH into port now carries a bicycle, and the skipper is usually an expert rider. At sea he rides around and around the main deck, and as soon as he reaches port he takes his wheel ashore. Three sea enptuina were ruling in the park the other afternoon. One of them was a novice and confessed his inability to work the tiller so as to sail a straight course. "It's very good," he de clared, "if it just had a little more pitcli to it. Ah, that's better," he added, as he struck a stone and pitched off head fore most. The manufacturer who will turn out a bicycle with elliptical wheels will make a hit with seafaring men.
