?
Models for 1807 arc already atibjccts of In
tercut nnil discussion In wheeling circles.
Will there be many changes , nnd what about
prices ? are questions of general concern. At
present the Impression Is that the $100 wheel
has come to stay , while wheels of lesser
price will be as numerous as ever. Accord-
Ins to the New York Sun , "the oldest mak
ers of $100 wheels say that It would bo dis
astrous to their business to sell machines
at the low figured which several younger
manufacturers have named , and at the same
time furnish each customer with a guaran
tee. On the other hand , It Is said In BOIUO
quarters that enough money Is made by
many concerns which have cut their prices
to warrant their continuing the experiment
next year. It Is understood also that cer
tain of them have promised to offer even
hotter wheels at a cheaper price next year
than now.
"Experienced wheelmen seem slow to be
lieve that the difference In quality of the
component parts of high grade bicycles Is
BO marked as some of the makers of these
machines would have the public believe It
Is. These riders nay that skillful workman
ship Is required In the construction of all
durable wheels , and If It Is true that seine
of the high grade wheel makers employ more
skillful workmen than others , the fact Is
often Indlsccrnablc both In their wheels'
appearance and use.
"Whether the wooden bicycles which nro
promised for next year will materially af-
fccl the wheel trade remains to be seen.
Their advocates say that the wheels will
have many advantages over those with
metal frames. "
Cyclist Zimmerman reports In the New
York World that n $150 wheel will be one
of the notable features of next year's trade.
He says "the wheel Is put together In a
manner that Is as nearly perfect as human
ektll can make It. The adjustment Is well
nigh marvelous. A few vigorous twists of
the crank caused the rear wheel to inako
complete involutions for six minutes , and
then to swing backward and forward for a
minute and ten seconds longer. I know
this tlmo Is correct , because I held a stop
watch on It. A single twist of the crank
caused the rear wheel to keep In continual
motion for about six minutes and a quarter.
"That Is remarkable when It Is remem
bered that the best of high grade wheels
now made will swing only from one to two
minutes. It shows that a great deal ot
attention and study has been paid to the
adjustment of the bearings In the wheel
and that the work has been ilonu by men
who are artists In their respective lines.
The firm , I was told , has been almost a yea >
planning and experimenting before one
wheel was completed. The preliminary
\vork cost them many thousands of dollars ,
and now they think they have a perfect
< whcel. So careful has been the construc
tion of these wheels that they do not ex
pect to be able to turn out more than a
thousand of them during the season. "
Regarding the price , Zimmerman says the
manufacturer Is likely to go broke If he
sticks to the price $150.
The latest mechanical movement for Im
parting motion to bicycles Is unique. In
this Instance the hub of the rear wheel car-
irtcs .two crank pins on each of which a
fork connecting rod is mounted. These con
necting rods have pockets at their ends for
'engaging th'6' teeth of the sprocket wheel.
When the pedals are revolved the teeth of
the sprocket wheel engage the pockets and
alternately raise and lower the pockets and
rods , which operation causes the axle of the
hind wheel to revolve , thus Imparting mo
tion to the bicycle. It is asserted that the
device Is less costly than the ordinary chain
gearing , and has the advantage of propell
ing the machine with great speed without
entailing greater muscular energy.
The question of using graphite on bicycle
chains has been thrust to the front , and a
considerable number of riders can be found
who vehemently assert that It is not good ,
that It collects and holds dust , that It makes
a chain dirty , and that the best thing is
to oil the chain freely and then wipe off
as much of the oil as possible. On the
other hand , some riders who affect coasting
arc loud in their praise of the virtues of
graphite , and say they get the best results
out of their wheels when they pack the
bearing with this substance and
use no oil at all. Probably the truth lies
somewhere between the two extremes. Cer
tainly graphite Is unpleasant stuff to handle ,
and undeniably It makes a chain dirty.
That It collects dust is also not open to
dispute. Hut It Is also true that It serves
as a lubricant between chain and sprocket
wheels , and doubtless makes the running
easier. No one should suppose , however ,
that It can servo as a substitute for oil on
the chain bearings. These ought to be oiled
at frequent Intervals. A drop or two of
oil applied between each pair of links will
answer the purpose , and the effect In the
case of a chain that has not been so treated
in a long time will be perceived Instantly
by the rider. Perhaps the best way to
apply graphite , oil or any other lubricant
to the chain Is by placing It on the finger
of an old glove , which can then be rubbed
along the chain , bringing the lubricant Into
contact with every part. If oil Is applied
from a can euro should bo taken to wipe
off as much as possible with a dry cloth.
The Tobacco Trade Journal ridicules the
assertion that bicycling has had an apprecia
ble effect on the consumption of the weed.
The Journal speaks truly when It says that
the two or three hours of wheeling by the
average rider on Sundays Is more than
balanced by the vigor with which he hits
the weed after dismounting. "Lot any stu
dent of this matter , " says the Journal ,
"visit any of the hundred and one road
houses , etc. , In the vicinity of any great
city , note the great Influx of bicycle riders ,
the way they lay off for the rest of the
day , smoking almost all the time , until re
turning calls them to the wheel , Further
than this the figures of production do not
point to any such decrease as a million
cigars a day , but , on the contrary , the pro
duction of cigars for the fiscal year of 1895-G
closing Juno 30 , 1896 , shows a gain aver
the record of the previous year of 73,783-
C01 ; cigarettes Increased 722,250,543 ; manu
factured tobacco , 5,397,500 pounds ; and
snuff , 1,717,125 pounds ; while the Increase
In each department for the fiscal year of
1E94-5 was nearly as great over the record
of 1893.4.

IN the AVIit--l Saddle nil Kxtrn Iliix-
ariloiiH .Sent hi u Storm f
The killing of Walter Scott , the bicyclist ,
who was struck by lightning during the
heavy thundorstom In Chicago last Thurs
day afternoon , has opened up a field of
Eomowhat uneasy speculation among the
riders of the wheel , says the Chicago Tri
bune ,
Did the bicycle attract the lightning ?
The Immediate Inference on the part of
many pencils was that It did , and In sev
eral facts connected with the occurrence
there was found more than a little reason
for the belluf. It le a problem which
touches all riders closely , for nothing la
more likely , especially with a climate sub
ject to such huiUleii changes of tempera'
turo as that of Chicago , than for the
cyclist to bo caught In a thunder storm.
The danger of such a thing has In common
opinion ueomed not at all IncicaEed by the
presence of the bicycle , and , In fnct , It has
bi-cn more than once slated that a bicyclist
on Ihu city streets It better protected
against and runs less risk from lightning
than R pedestrian. The killing of Scot ) , has
brought the matter Into more particular
notice than It ever received bcforo , und hag
Beiijncd to assail. If not overthrow , thu Idea
that the chance of uccUTcut Is reduced
rather than Increased , nut ! has given rise
to tlio statement that the electricity la the
lr , under curtalu couOUion * , may bo dla- ,
charged through the bicycle , to the lnjur >
of the rider. The statement , however , Is
not upheld by authorities on the subject.
The accident of Thursday was a most
peculiar ono In many respects. After spend
ing most of the day at the olllce of the firm
of Hatier & Scott , of which he was junior
partner , Scott started out on an errand , rid
ing his wheel. When about ready to rcturr
ho was warned by the thickening clouds ani
rumbling thunder to hasten his return. Ho
had gone- but a short distance , however ,
when the storm overtook him. Ho did
not stop , as the first burst of rain had thor
oughly drenched him , but rode slowly on.
Three men , Swan Carlson , John Usher ami
John McKec , standing for shelter In the door
way of a house near the corner of Calumc !
avenue and Kitty-second streets , watched
his approach. Just before ho reached I'lfty-
sccond street tliero came a blinding ( lash ol
lightning , and the watchers saw Scott fall
heavily from the wheel. They thought ho
had fainted , and. running out Into the street ,
carried him to the curb and had laid him
on the grass. It was then found that ho
was dead.
The bolt , according to the accounts , had
struck him on the head , burning to a crisp
the corduroy cap thai he wore. It had then
passed downward along the middle of the
chest , severely burning the abilomen. There
were no other marks except four slight
burns on the face. A ring which he wore
had been turned black , while a silver watch
In his pocket seemed unaffected. The bicy
cle was not damaged. According to the
statements of the witnesses ho had been
killed Instantly , and had not moved after
striking the ground.
There are but two possible ways for the
accldint to have occurred. Klther Scott
rode Into the lightning , that Is , happened
to bo at the precise point where the bolt
would have struck had there been no bicycle
there , or the wheel furnished a conductor
for the electricity with which the air \vas
changed , and was the primary cause of the
accident. According to experts , the first of
these was undoubtedly the case , but while
maintaining this fact It is admitted that by
accepting the flrst as the correct solution
the remarkable features of the event are In
creased rather than diminished , and It Is
said that the "little knowledge" which Is
"a dangerous thing" has its excuse for the
belief that the presence of the wheel made
the danger.
It has always been contended that the rub
ber tires furnished Insulation and made the
rider safer from the discharge of electricity
from the air than any other preventive could
do. The dlniculty with the argument Is
found In the fact that the danger of such
discharge occurs commonly during a rain
storm , when the tires are wet and their use
fulness In that particular destroyed. In
such a case , and more especially If the rider
happened to run Into a puddle deep enough
to cover the rim and touch the spokes , the
wheel and rider would furnish a perfect
conductor. There were houses In the Imme
diate neighborhood , any of which under
common conditions would be almost certain
to receive the bolt. A man In the street be
low would be commonly considered abso
lutely safe unless close to a house , tree , or
telephone pole. In fact , there are numerous
circumstances which can be construed Into
proof that the presence of some unusual
factor , presumably the presence of the
wheel , converted by the wet into a good
conductor , brought about the accident.
To this , ' however , electrical authorities do
not agree. That there was come unusual
factor present they are willing to admit ,
but that It was the bicycle they do not be
lieve. Lightning Is , they say , an uncertain
thing ; probably the most uncertain thing
there Is. It may do anything at all In the
line of freaky actions , and has been known
to depart from all the laws by which It
should , according to theory , be governed.
The chief reason given for the belief that
the wheel had nothing to do with It Is that
the accident Is an Isolated case. Neither
electricians nor bicycle dealers can call to
mind a similar one , though undoubtedly
many wheelmen have been caught In thun
der storms , when the conditions for the
discharge of electricity from the air were
of the best. The bolt , it Is said , may even
have struck one of the neighboring buildings
and been deflected without doing damage.
Both electricians and bicycle men lay the
occurrence at the door of that uncertain
factor , chance , and exempt the wheel from
all share in U , though they admit that at
the tlmo It was In all probability u good
conductor.
Superintendent narrett of the city elec
trical department gave as his opinion that
the presence of the wheel could have af
fected the lightning little. If at all.
"It was , In my opinion , " ho said , " a
freak. The wheel might bo In such a con
dition as to readily conduct electricity with
out Increasing the danger for a rider under
such circumstances as In the accident of
Thursday. So far as rules can bo assigned
to the action of lightning , It may be said
that the discharge is always through the
highest thing In thu neighborhood , whether
It Is a church steeple , a tree , or anything
else. A man on a blcyclo with wet tires
would ba In danger In open country , but
only because there was nothing near him
so tall as himself. In the city streets. If
not close to the tallest building In the neigh
borhood , or to wiring of any sort , ho might
bo considered safo. Mr. Scott would have
benn safe but for that uncertainty In the
action of lightning which now and then
makes It break away from all rules. How
It was that he came to bo struck It Is
Impossible to say. The fact that the wheel
was not damaged would seem to show that
It could not have attracted the lightning
and , I think , may bo taken as proof. It
must bo homo In mind at the same time ,
however , that whllu thu tires arc wet a man
might bo killed on a wheel without damage
to the metal work or even to the tires.
There are strokes of lightning both big and
little , and a. small ono might bo carried
off through the dampness on the tires with
out injuring the rubber. "

12 very man who owns u wheel cannot
run u complete ! repair -shop. In most cases
ha had better not try , for a good wheel Is
like u fine horse , easily set on edge and
just as easily set off. Unless the owner Is
a good mechanic he can muku money by
observing u few general rules for the care
of the wheel from thu tlmo he gets It , and
letting some expert look after the difficult
repairs , such as the replacing of tires , tight
ening spokes , and repairs , which , If unskllt-
fully done. , may throw the wheel out ot
plumb and result In a visit to the dry
dock because of the lack of. skill of thu
owner.
According to the testimony of a man who
has put In several busy years In building
wheels and repairing others returned to
the factory , If thu owner of a wheel takes
as much cnro of hU machine as he naturally
would of a flno suit of clothes ho. will have
but very little trouble. He says that a
thrifty man carefully brushes his garments
when ho removes them before restoring them
to their places In thu closet or dressing
case. The Kame rule applies to the wheel ,
YVhon a rider hua been out on his wheel
tba first thing bo should do on returning Is
to examine the machine , and , If there U any
dust on It or any mud , whether on rim ,
tire or frame , he should remove It at one * .
Many a man , tired with a long rpln , puts
a dirty wheel awny with the remark that
ho will clear it after U gets dry and he
has rested a bit. Thin fault Is the cause
of more trouble than anything short of a
violent collision ,
No man who values hU wheel will allow
mud In dry on It. Neither will ho permit
water to remain on the nickel parts of the
machine. Ills tint duty utter a ride , how
ever brief , lu to thoroughly clean the wheel
with a dry cloth If there In nothing but dust
on It. A little oil rubbed lightly over the
machine after It Is cleaned will do much to
preserve It , as It will prevent luttl-ii ; , Uust
will rauho a wheel to run tudly and ccyrc-
clatcs Its value more rapidly than anything
else. It Is as delicate as a watch , and Is en
titled to just as much consideration. The
wheel should bo oiled for every fifty to sev-
cnty-flvo miles traveled with it. It Is not
necessary to flush the bearings , but a llttlo
oil should bo Injected In order that it may
run smoothly.
After a tlmo the owner becomes accus
tomed to the mako-up of his wheel and can
take It apart and readjust It. One ot the
first things ho has to learn Is to stop any
wabbling of the wheels. When It has been
In use a short time. If the machine Is not
adjusted exactly a happening almost uni
versal because the machine never Is properly
adjusted until use discloses the weakness
the bearings should bo tightened. A ma
chine will wabble slightly when the bearIngs -
Ings are loose. Then It Is the duty of the
owner to tighten them until there Is but
Itttlo lateral vibration. This should be Just
enough to permit free action. Frequently
In new wheels the front fork docs not turn
freely. It Is adjusted too tightly. This
should bo looked after bcforo the wheelman ,
If he bo learning , essays to me that wheel.
If the fork refuses to turn at the slightest
touch the green rider runs the risk of seri
ous damage In his awkward efforts to
mount.

Prior to July , 1805 , there was practically
no exportation of American bicycles. Slnco
the and up to April of this year the cx-
portatlons have amounted to more than
$1,000,000. That this Increase of exporta-
tlons is due somewhat to the American
tourist and hln wheel and her wheel Is
without doubt. Hut If the wheel did not
possess upcrlor qualities over Its foreign
rivals It would not be In demand In for
eign countries , If It were not graceful In
Its lines , light la weight , strong In Its
parts , easily managed and still more easily
propelled , It could not have made n place
for Itself In the shops of foreign dealers.
Ilut It posseses all these qualities In a
marked degree , and , as a natural result ,
there 1ms grown up a healthy foreign de
mand. The returns for May show that
from New York alone wheels of the value
of $220,176 were exported. This Is at the
rate of more than $2,000,000 a year. The
shipments for May are classified thus by

The shipment In June and July were even
greater than In May , and the number of
American wheels sent abroad has so greatly
alarmed foreign manufacturers that they are
up to all sorts.of tricks to stop the In
vasion. The greatest anxiety so far has been
felt In England , where the.American makers
have spent most of their efforts. It is not
only about bicycles that England lias had to
worry , but about the tubing ns well. Not
long ago nearly all the American blcyclo tiiT > -
ing came from England. Last year the
makers In this country Imported $ ! i07,041
worth of tubing from Birmingham. Only a
short time ago an order for 1,000,000 feet of
tubing was received by an American firm
from a Birmingham bicycle manufacturer.
It all goes to show that American-made bi
cycles arc the best , and that the American
methods of making arc the best. Next year
probably twice as many American wheels
will be sold In Europe as have been sold
this year. The people over there demand
them In preference to any of the European
makes.

There was exhibited-In the Union depot In
Chicago one day last week a baggage car
equipped with a new device for supporting
bicycles. The bracket Is mailo to attach to
the celling or to the side of the car or wall
The overhead support consists of an L-
shaped brocket about twenty-eight Inches In
height , the lower arm of which Is provltlci1
with two pivoted V-shaped holding plates
In Which the bicycle frame Is firmly held
The holding plates arc plvotally supporter
on the lower part of the arm , and automat'
Ically adjust themselves to the diverging
frames of any blcyclo , no matter what Its
make or construction may be. A single
spring holds the plates In their proper po
sltlons so that they arc always ready to en
gage the frame roils , and as they arc cush
ioned with rubber or fell It Is Impossible foi
the frame to be scratched or marred. 1
carries the bicycle In an averted or upside-
down position , and when fastened to the
celling of a baggage car , baggagemen of an
ordinary height can walk under the wheels
About twenty-five machines can In this way
be carried In the cupola of a baggage car
and thus utilize space that has never bcci
used heretofore. It makes the safest mcthoil
for the owners , as there Is no possible chance
for the wheels to get scratched or damaged
Not the leastImportant Item to the railroads
and to the owners Is the saving of time lu
getting the machines out of the cars.
The wall bracket consists of a malleable
Iron socket secured to the wall , and ailaplei *
to receive a malleable Iron arm twenty-one
Inches In length with a six-Inch downward
curve at Its outer end , to which Is attached
a V-shapcd holding plate In which the blcy
clo Is rlgl'lly supported to the wall. The
holding plate , which Is kept In position by a
spring , Is cushioned to prevent marring the
frames of the wheels , and Is so shaped as
to fit all the various sizes of tubing used li
wheels.
A Whirl wlh the TinirlH < .
The members of the ' 90 Meet club aru
feeling , more than jubilant over the success
which characterized their efforts In estab
llshlng a friendly feeling among the wheel
men In attendance at the Louisville meet
last week.
Among the Chicago wheelmen who aided
In making the Omaha delegation's trip a
Eourco of real pleasure during Its sojourn
In that city , while enroutc to Louisville , as
well as upon the return trip , were H. B.
Ayres , F. D. McGulrc Charles Eager , A.
Ilarrlsch , W. Crook , Charles Brown of the
Thistle club , F. Sparks and Ed Porter of
the Illinois duo and. H. M. Gardner of the
North Shore club.
In addition to the many Interesting places
which the Omaha contingency visited that
were recited In last Sunday's Issue the
Mammoth cave was-among the many points
of Interest which received a portion of the
tlmo of several of tlm Omaha crowd , as
shown by the register at the hotel , and
none of the boys regret the amount of money
and time spent , but OB the contrary felt
amply repaid for -the trip. The scenery
was very magnlftcsnt and afforded much
food for thought and reflection as the
beauties of nature were- witnessed , and the
many points of Interest were visited In
turn and severally explained , together with
much valuabin Information respecting what
had transpired within the cave in years
gone by.
At the adjourned .meeting of the Asso
ciated Cycling- Clubs of Omaha , held In Iho
Younc Men's Christian' association building
Ust Thurs < las > 'eVcnttigithe > following resolu
tion was unanlnioiislyesiailapted :
"Whereas. By the unfortunate and dis
graceful action of Wllllard Green while actIng -
Ing In the capacity ot marshal of the city
of Florence , Neb. , and In an official manner ,
on Tuesday evening. July 21 , 1S96 , In depu
tizing seven young boys of Florence , Neb. ,
placing loaded revolvers In their hands ,
lining them across the principal streets , In
tercepting' , stopping and attempting to ar
rest for no just or reasonable cause the
combined wheel clubs of Omaha and their
guests , the members of the Commercial
Law League of America , who accompanied
them , and commanding the boy deputies
'to shoot down the flrst man who attempted
to pass , ' and
"Where * * . No city ordinance or state
law was violated by said wheelmen and
their guests or company on said occgslon ,
and
"Whereas , Said action of said marshal
has proven Injurious , detrimental and dam
aging to the prospects of encouraging a
nycle path between Omaha and Florence
and detrimental as nell to the prospects of
securing the ' ! )8 ) meet of the League of
American Wheelmen In Omaha , and caused
general regret and much feeling among
the 3,000 wheelmen of the city of Omaha
and vicinity , and among the business men
of Omaha , and
"Whereas , A majority of the good citizens
of Florence regret and deplore the action of
the said Green so acting as city marshal ,
and denounce his acts as cowardly , dis
graceful , unwarranted .and the acts of a
bravado , cowboy and desperado , and
"Whereas , From the passion , nervousness ,

You have to learn the art of bicycle riding ,
so do you have to learn the art of pedaling.
Watch any half dozen cyclists as they pass
and you will ECO that five of them do not
know how to pedal properly. If they had
but a slight knowledge of the fast motion
with the same expenditure of power they
could accomplish far greater results. The
art of pedaling Is to push the pedal moro
than half the circle , taking care to lift the
foot Immediately after It has done its effect
ive 'Work , so as not to burden the rising
pedal. This necessitates the dropping of
the heel at the top of the stroke which helps
the cranks over the dead center , pushing
right down to the bottom of the stroke and
bringing the foot back with o clawing mo
tion to get aver the dead center at the bet
tom. If a rider who has been content with
a piston-like up and down pedal motion
will try this , slowly at flrst , ho will be uur-
prUed after a llttlo practice to find that
the machine does not require so much push-
tug as It uvcd to. Especially lu hill climbIng -
Ing will ha discover IU advantage , and the
ankle motion Involved wilt bo particularly
beneficial.

Tuesday , August 25.
The route lies In almost a straight line
from San Francisco to New York , passing
over the Sierra Nevada and Rocky moun
tains , through Ogdcn , Cheyenne , Omaha ,
Cedar Haplds , Chicago , Toledo. Cleveland ,

and the states ot California. Nevada , Utah ,
Wyoming , Colorado , Nebraska , Iowa , Illi
nois , Indiana , Ohio and New York will be

Four hundred bicycle riders will furnish
the relays In this great transcontinental bl
cycle race against time. The average dis
tance covered by the riders will be ten
miles. Each rider will be followed by a
substitute at a distance of fiom fifty to 100
feet , In order that should any accident or
breakdown occur to the man In advance
there need bo no Interruption ot the race.
A leather packet will be carried on the
shoulder , containing a War department mes
sage from the commanding ofllccr at the
Presidio , the headquarters of thu army on
the Pacific coast , at San Francisco , to the
commanding olllccr at Fort Hamilton , In
New York harbor. General Miles , who takes
a lively Interest In the usefulness of the
bicycle , has given Instructions that a mes
sage bo sent In this manner In order to test
the practicability of transferring Information
over long distances by wheel lu cases of
emergency.
Arrangements have been made with the
postal authorities to have the postmasters

order that there may bo no doubt about the
validity of the record.
Olflclal recognition of the Importance of

Members of the racing board ot the League
of American Wheelmen are making a firm
fctand for clean sport In the professional
class. The practice of some race meet promoters
meters In paying a special bonus to crack
riders to appear Is directly discountenanced
by Chairman Gideon In a special bulletin
sent out recently from Philadelphia.
"It is a detriment to the sport , " says Mr.
Gideon , "and calculated- ruin both the
business of the men who compete and the
promoters. The practice of making It a con
sideration for certain men to ride seems to
bq. of recent origin and must be stopped Im
mediately. Race promoters are therefore re
quired to enter Into an agreement that they
will pay nothing whatever except in prizes
for the appearance of any rider. Failure to
live up to this rule will result In prompt
withdrawal of sanction and demands for
money for appearance by riders themselves
will he treated as an Infringement of the
track rules of the league and the offenders
shall be liable to permanent suspension at
the discretion of the board. "
It Is said that the promoters of the recent
Invitation race at Buffalo offered the men
special prizes for their presence and It was
through ono of the promoters that Mr.
Gideon gleaned the facts. The practice has
been In vogue In the east and at some of the
tourneys in the west since the beginning of
the season. The racing wheelmen have had
too many meets to Interest them and fre
quently the big events conflicted and there
was no real choice to be made as to where
to ildc. Crafty promoters , appreciating the
opportunity , would forward a special offer
to the riders who would bo drawing cards
and the deal would soon be consummated.
The racing board , by Its special bulletin ,
has nipped the plans of tournament men for
Labor day. More sanctions for that holiday
have probably been granted than for any
other In the calendar. Eyery city In the
country that boasts of a wheel organization
no matter how small , will have Its entry
blanks distributed and will try to secure
the presence of the big men.
