" ' and the pedaling
"wheels arc'abroad In the laeid
ing multitude are gazing with becoming tuvo
on the fiamlcs shown. The samples com ?
from Hartford , Conn. , nnd their arrival In
ccch city excites ns much Interest ns a
circus. The advance agent of the manu
facturers Is a "lulu" In his line and ho has
worked the newspapers for copious notices ,
"top of column , next to pure reading matter , "
-with Illustrations neatly wedged In. Yet
there Is little that Is new or startling In the
ovcnt , except the in-lee $12G.
The new wheel Is operated by beveled
gear < x principle ns old an mechanics. In
general nppcarnnco It Is not unllko the
regulation safety , except that the absence
of the chain Is plainly noticeable. The gear
cosing In front looks like a small , solid
uprockct without teeth. The shaft connect
ing the crank axle nnd the rear wheel runs
Insldo the right rear part of the frame , bolng
completely out of sight. A bmall set of togs
Is attached to each end of this bar , the for
ward set mwhlng Into the cogs of tlio front
sprocket and the rear set Into those ot the
small sprocket attached to the rear hub.
The cogs on the bar ate sat at right angles
with It and those on the sprockets ore on the
side , nnd not the cdgo , as In the chain
wheel , In tills way the power applied to the
licdals Is transferred to the rear wheel , and , It
Is claimed with much ICES friction than by
the chain method. All the mechanism Is
enclosed In dust and waterproof cases. The
wheel weighs 20 pounds.
The Inycitors who have striven for years
literally hundreds of strlvers to make n per-
feat chalnlcsB bicycle wcro actuated by the
Ircoorfectlons of the chain and sprocket. Not
only la the old system subject to the In
terference of dust and dirt , but the Joints
of the chain provide a multitude of placrs
subject to wcari and this wear alters the
"pitch. " "Pitch" Is a mechanical term
which Indicates the distance from center to
center. If the wear of the cluiln alters the
distance from center to center of each Joint
the wear of tlio sprocket teeth must be
Identically the EOITIP to produce unison in the
transmission of the power. Ilut It Is Im
possible for the wear to bo the same , hcn"e
the Infinitesimal changes In the pitch of the
chain and the pitch of the sprocket teeth
cause a loss of power , and this Is why the
rider , who doesn't bother nbout what pitch
means , wonders why his wheel rides harder
otter It Is old than Jiun It was new. The
chalnless gear also offo ed the mast am-
bltloiui hopes for better hill climbing.
The failure of many and most of tlie labirs
of tboso tl'cless inventors was duo to the
Imperfection of the beveled toothing. Thus ,
while all kinds of nuchlncTy are driven by
beveled gear , the weight ot the cog whceis
provides a solid base of resistance that over
comes the Imperfe.-tlons In the perfect flttlni ;
of one cog Into another ; -whereas , the lighter ,
bicycle mechanism depends upon , not weight , i
tiut absolute perfection of the p r's. ' The rod
transmitting the power from the pedals to1
the rear axle , It out of alignment , duo to the
Instability of the light bicycle frame , would
wreck the machine , and It'would stop like
grandfather's clock , that never went again.
That's where the bicycle combine came In.
For two ycam beveled gear patents have
been brought up right and left. The yatents
ot the League chalnless wheel that failed
were bought , until they beliuvu they possess
every passlbla patent which cove s any kind
of perfect or Imperfect bevel geared wheel.
Tbo work of obscure Inventors was com
bined , made Into composite shape and tried
and tested ; one failure brought about another - ]
other experiment , until , from failure to fall- ,
uro , a simple contrivance was born which' '
| the bicycle makers , after testing for a year ,
believe to be perfect.
It Is stated that at least twelve factories
will make and market wheels made en this
model , under license from the Hartford firm
which Is said to control the patents. How
many patents are thus contioiled Is not
known , nor Is It material. A practical
monopoly of the principle Is not possible be
cause bevel gearing Is long past patent age.
Modern Machinery stated In n recent issue
that the only substantial patent secured by
the Hartford people was on a machine for
cutting the gear. There must toe other pat
ents of some value , however , for the claim Is
made that the firm , In order to block all
avenues of competition , paid $30,000 in two
years for various patents relating to bevel
gear. Hut as the main principle la free to
nil , there will bo some rivalry , some law
suits and a smashing of prices before that
$500,000 is cleaned up. It is Inevitable.
With high grade chain wheels a drug In the
market , and various chalnless wheels of high
and low degree turned out by makers out-
eldo the i > : ol , It Is not likely that the so-
called "combine" wheels will find many pur
chasers at $15vhcn the novelty has worn
oft. The history of wheel prices during the
past two years will be repeated.
Speaking of Its chalnlcss wheels for 189 %
on English firm says It in the latest and
highest form of bicycle development. Jt
marks the utmost possibility of excellence
and completeness under present conditions
under any conditions that arc likely to arise.
601110 of Its points of superiority over a
chain-driven wheel , It c > a > s , are :
"It will K ° faster and further with less
effort. It Is much easier to keep clean.
Every motion Is positive no back lash. It
has no links or teeth to 'catch things. ' Its
driving mechanism la always thoroughly
lubricated. Its motive parts are not affected
ly the weather by rain , mud or dust. Its
bevel gears actually Improve with use , while
a chain deteriorates from the first. U saves
repair money , work and worry , and In
creases the safety and delight of cycling. U
removes the one serious source of danger
that every bicycler realizes , and substitutes
confidence for dread. The weak part of a
chaln-and-sprockot bicycle Is the chain. The
bevel gears of the chalnloas wheel will out
last any other Important part of the nia-
chlno. " Time alone will demonstrate the
truthfulness of thcso advance claims. If
two or ihrco cogs can withstand the driving
pressure which strains n chain covering
two-thlrdn of front and rear sprockets , then
s will the beveled gear wheel bo set down/
" as a mechanical triumph. One of the ne v
r" models has been In experimental u o during
the summer In the cast. It Is claimed , , for
It that It was ridden 7,000 miles and stood
every test placed upon It , proving to run
easier at tlio flnkih than at thn start. 'Tests
with Instruments as to tha friction In the
now gear are also said to have been made
demonstrating that the bevel gear Is easier
running than the chain ,
ISx-ChampIou Zimmerman has given the
chalnlcss a trial and declares In the New
York WorH that It Is not a bettor wheel
than prcrent chain mcdels. "I would not ride
it In a race , " ho najB. "bc-causo I could not
Win on a cl'alnlr 3 wheel. " Ho advances
some reasons In support of his opinion that It
, ls upt a mii'iTlcr bicycle. These reasons are.
briefly , that the new model la heavier , has
moro friction , Inasmuch as It has two more
eeta of ball bearings ; Is of necessity ex
tremely rigid , moro complicated , which ren
ders It difficult to overhaul ; and finally that
the gearing Is adjusted to ano-thousandth
of an Inch , so that the slightest variation
from any cauw Is liable to smash the cogs.
"It may bo a. success , " concludes ) 5lm ;
"but that remains to be demonstrated. Until
that demonstration has been made I am going
to ride the "
cbalu-and-sprocket wheel.
There are other racers besides Zlmmer
man , and they have found souiu merit In the
chuliileta wheel as a goer , Tlio feat of
Frank Starbuck hi winning from Jimmy
Michael on a chainUaa affair haa been a
great boost to the wheel In this country.
The chalnlcss wheel has already beaten
eoiiio world's records. Huret , the 'French '
rider , recently covered 601 miles and 1,610
yards In twenty-four hours. Ho averaged
twenty-three and a half miles an hour. Ho
established world' * records from 100 miles
up. One hundred miles was covcreJ In

As a hill climber the chalnless wheel has
proved without a peer. At Catford , Hngland ,
11. J. Herbert rode up n long hill backwards ,
a feat which ten of the thirteen starters who
made the ascent had the utmost difficulty In
accomplishing polng forward. It seems that
there Is some merit In the chalnlcss wheel
which others 'besides ' the manufacturers have
discovered.

If an English exchange Is correct , thin
manlla pajer , also , Is now being used for
maklog tubes for bicycles. The process of
manufacture Is Ingenious , the p-tper being
wound upon a mandrel , and coated by means
of glue from n epray , thus Insuring the
ifcsolute Joining or the paper , which Is made
solid by means of great pressure. When
the tube has been constructed , some forty
layers of paper being required for this pur
pose , It Is subjected to great pressure from
the inside , after the mandrel has been re
moved , and the tube placed In n very strong
mold. Thlo pressure Is derived from a
hydraulic machine. The outer layers of
paper are acted upon by means of a rolling
mich'ne , which hardens them , and the tubes
are then polished In a lathe and stained the
desired color , after which they are varnl&hed
and ure ready for use.
An up-to-date sheep herder In Meaghcr
county , Montana , has forsaken the broncho
for the bicycle. Every day ho rides the pas
ture , keeping faithful watch over the chargcc
committed to his care , and every evening he
brings them safely home again , scorning bl-
cycle pat is and unornamcnted by a button
bearing the legend , "Good Hoads. " For there
are no reads where the grass Is best , and he
has no use for them.
As far as Is known but one effort has over
been made to npply the wheel to the kindred
industry of sheep herding , the cattle busi
ness. It onlcd In disaster the first tlmo the
rider attempted to stop the mad career of a
wild steer with a rope. The animal after re
ceiving the rope over his horns turned sud
denly and charged In the opposite direction.
Hlder and wheel went down In the dust. The
lariat had been attached to the handlebars ,
as it would luvo been made fast to the sad
dle on a horee , and while the owner saved
himself from further embarrassment and In
jury by rolling off , the machine went cavort
ing over the weld , turning impossible somer
saults as the steer charged here and there In
his fright , not knowing the manner of Impediment -
pediment to his progress behlnl him. The
owner recovered the fragments one by one ,
and i brother cowboys , not quite so fin de cycle ,
went after the steer and brought him In.
So ended the attempt to make the wheel a
practical adjunct to range riding. But Its
Introduction Into pastoral walks was attended
with more success , and Its future In that
line will bo watched with Interest all over
the land.

Associated Cycling clubs of Omaha would
take an active part In this fall's election
and that candidates who would pledge them
selves toork for good roads nnd clean
streets would receive the wheelmen's sup
port , and Incidentally , their vote , This an
nouncement waa made after one of the regu
lar meetings of the club , but It seems that
llttlo Interest has been taken In the- matter
since , and the part that wheelmen as a body
will play In the election will be decided ! )
a minor one. This only goes to enow the
lack of Interest , organization or whatever
one might choose to call It , that uxlsts among
Omaha wheelmen. Yet they want cycle
paths , good roads , clean street ? and every
thing that help : make cycling a pleasure
but do not seem willing to help get them In
any way. This city his a cycling popula
tion of cloco to 15,000 , of which probabl )
one-third are women and children who are
not eligible to vote , the other two-thirds , or
10,000 wheelmen , are voters and If the }
would organize , thenuolves Into a body foi
political purposes It can easily bo seen whai
a prominent part they would play In city
county and even elate elections. The )
would iiavo llttlo trouble then. In getting
a boll of cycle paths around the city , Th <
Associated Cycling clubs are , however , upon
the right track , and if they would call iuat u
meetings \vuoelmea , ct regular periods
during the year , engage gooJ speaker * to
address the meotlpRS and In this way work
up Interest nnd enthusiasm among the wheel-
non. they would accomplleb Hielr end sooner
or later and become the factor In politics that
wheelmen arc In Chicago and other eastern
cities.

The six-day race which was finished r.t
Charles Street potk on Monday evening last
proved to bo a flnanclal failure , and , as 't
was conducted upon the percentage plan , the
riders got nothing but experience. The race
was one of the best of the kind ever seen
n this city and had It been held a month
earlier would have drawn largo crowds , but ,
is the writer has always contended , out
door bicycle racing after the. theatrical season
: pens will never pay In this city , as has

noted for their hospitality and any wheel-
nan who receives an Invitation to one of
heir parties will miss a rare treat by not
attending.
The- traveling representative of one of the
large eastern bicycle manufacturers hns been
In the city durlng-the past week exhibiting
: hc new chalnless bicycle. Many local wheel
men were Invited to try the machine , and
all who accepted the representative's Invita
tion scemud to think It far superior to the
chain wheel In running qualities. George
Melerstcln , one of the losal racing men , ga\e
It a trial ar < l had the following to say In
regard to It from a racing standpoint : "I
took a long ride upon the machine and gave
It what I considered a good test. It seems
to run much easier than the chain wheel
after one gets It started. I hardly think It
would make a suitable racing machine to
compete with chain wheels , as It Is much
i rd r to start , and crnsequettly takes a man
longer to get under way. 1 tried to Jump on
It , but found that a common rider on a chain
wheel could start much quicker than I could.
The races of today nre nil finished with a
Jump from the last quarter , -and I am afraid
that the chalnless wheel would got lost In
the sprint unless they Improve them so that
they will start easier and quicker. "
Sunday.last was an Ideal day for cycling
and hundreds of wheelmen and women took
spins out to the exposition grounds In the
afternoon , while many made the run over the
cycle path to Florence. The path was not In
the best of condition , being badly cut up In
places where teams had crossed It. What
the wheelmen bhoufil endeavor to do now
Is to raise money enough to put a surface of
cinders upon It , which would cost but little
and make it rldeable In all kinds of weather.
