How to Make a Bicycle.
BY ROBERT BARR.
( Copyright , 1898 , the B. B. McClure Co. , )
In the higher walks of literature there Is
no reading so delightful ns that found In the
Iingcs of such papers ns "Home Quit , " nnd
"Women's Fads. " In these Journals ,
articles of Instruction nnd historical in
formation arc mixed with easy writing , f
like especially the column headed "Use
ful Hints , " where you learn how to make
n lovely mnntlo ornament from an old dis
used tomato can or pickle bottle ; how to
make two comfortable armchairs out of
ono whisky barrel ( after having consumed
the whisky ) ; how to make n Chippendale
bric-a-brac cabinet out of a packing case ;
how to make n parlor set of furniture from
thrco casks and four or five boxes , the
only tools required being n hand-saw , n
hammer nnd nn nx. These , nnd other
articles , like the ono entitled , "How I Man
aged My Cottage on Twenty Thousand a
Year , " carry light and Joy and happiness
into millions of families.
I have often wondered why the cycling
press did not go In more for this sort of
thing. Perhaps the reason Is that the
cycling papers do not wish to destroy the
Interests of those largo manfacturlng con
cerns which flourish In various parts of
tbo United States. However , I possess no
cycle stock In any company , and my only
desire Is to bo of use to the reader ; there
fore , I have little hesitation In giving nwny
in these columns the secrets of the trndo.
It Is folly to spend from $50 to $100 for n
bicycle when any Ingenious person can
make ono for himself In n few hours , If ho
has n little patience and n soldering Iron ,
out of materials that are to bo found In any
well-regulated household materials which ,
In fact , we are puzzled how to get rid of.
There Is no trick In making a bicycle , and
patents may bo entirely disregarded with
out fear of legal consequences , because
When the amateur gets through dealing with
a patent , the Inventor himself would never
recognize the result. Neither do I claim
originality for my method , because the
thing has been done over and over again.
I remember years and years ago , when a
bicycle was called a velocipede , that a
beautiful poem was In circulation describ
ing the adventures of Carl Dunder in the
mechanical line. There were forty-eight
verses , nnd the first two ran as follows
Curl Dunder mndo velocipede ,
Ono of dcr bulllest kind ,
It went mldout a wheel In front.
And hadn't none behind.
One wheel does In the middle , though
That went , as sure as eggs.
Ho straddled on dcr axle-tree ,
And paddled mil his legs.
The touching poem went on to'relate how
Carl Dunder constructed , not a bicycle , but
I one-wheeled machine , using a large grlnd-
itono as the wheel. The machine was a
tort of "made In Germany" mechanism , and ,
ns I remember the poem , worked beautifully ,
barring a slight accident , which wrecked
both the vehicle and Its constructor going
down a steep hill. Let 'us then emulate
Carl Dunder , and surely If he.could produce
a successful machine with ono wheel , wo
can have no difficulty In dealing with two.
The first thing to bo attended to is the
frame. There Is about every household a
quantity of disused water pipe , which Is
always in the way. If the pipe is of
Iron then you need seek no further for the
material of the frames. If the pipes are
of lead , however , I do not advise their use
In bicycle construction. I admit that there
is a certain absence of vibration In a frame
made of lead , but on the other hand , there
is the drawback that a machine so con
structed Is apt to collapse on climbing a
tiff hill. Lead pipes , however , being more
expensive than those made of Iron , can be
exchanged with advantage for Iron tubing
and there you are. The first thing to do
is to cut the tubes Into the proper lengths ,
which may be done with a flic , If you are
particular about the nicety of cobstructlon
but If you have not a file you can break
the tubes with a good stout club , although
I find , In practice , that this leaves the ends
rather Jagged.
You will then have to try to make up
your mind what shape of frame you prefer
There are many In the market , but I think
that public opinion generally supports the
diamond frame , and in return tbo dlamom
frame supports the public. In order tc
have a pattern , you should borrow a dla
rnond from a lady friend , or , If you have nc
lady friend who wcara diamonds , a service
able stone may bo purchased for $3,000 o
14,000 , and It Is well to remember that
good diamond sells about as successfull
second-hand as It does when new , In whlcl
It differs from a bicycle.
The next step Is to braise the Joints. Thi
Ii done by first washing them In soap an
water , drying them carefully , rubbing dow
with a little sandpaper and applying brats
Ing oil to the ends of the tubes. Bralsln
oil can bo bought at any respectable chcra
ist's ( never deal with a chemist that Is no
respectable ) for 25 cents a bottle. It th
frame creaks nt the Joints after braising
try a little glue , or , in the absence of that
come flour paste ; glue , however , Is pre
ferable. Set the frame out In the sun ti
dry and harden , and while this Is belni
accomplished you may make the wheels
Every family In this country baa In It :
possession one or more disabled pcram
tmlator * . Some amateurs use the ntlri
wh l wa n making a bl
cycle , but this courre merely shows lack of
resource. Perambulator wheels are rarely
of the right size , nnd when you arc making
a bicycle , anyhow , It Is well to make It
on correct principles. My ndvlco Is to use
only ( ho iwo hubs of the perambulator
wheels , which answer the purpose very
nicely. For spokes I take tbo ribs of a
borrowed umbrella. I know that some am
ateurs use the ribs of nny old umbrella ,
but I always prefer a borrowed one for
that purpose , It being less rccogntznblo by
the owner as bicycle spokes thnn In Its
original shape. Besides this , a borrowed
umbrella Is cheaper than any other kind
In the market , and I am endeavoring to
show how to construct nn economical bi
cycle ; therefore these apparently trivial
points must not be lost sight of.
For n rim , nn Iron hoop from a barrel
does as well as anything else , unless you
are a stlct temperance men. Heat the
barrel hoop red hot , nnd then gently bend
It Into a concave shape , with the fingers.
Should the amateur find n difficulty In doIng -
Ing this , he may either v.cnr gloves or take
a lesson from ouo of Barnum's fire caters.
Many people have burned their fingers In
cycle construction during the last two or
thrco years , but the method I have outlined
above will bo found cheaper than Investing
In cycle stock. While the Iron Is soft and
hot , pierce a number of holes In It with
the point of the small blade of your knife.
Insert Into these holes the ends of the um
brella ribs , and you will find that when the
Iron cools It will contract and hold the
ends of the ribs firmly In position.
The time has now come for Inserting the
hub. This must bo very carefully done ,
( because if it is not truly in tbo center
trouble will ensue. I know of nothing more
annoying than riding wheels tbo hubs of
which are n foot or two off the center. This
defect wobbles the rider up and down In a
most embarrassing way , and all the pneu
matic tires In the world will not take U ]
to consequent vibration. Spectators , see
ng a man on a wheel of this sort , are ape
o Jump nt the conclusion that it Is a home
made machine , so it is better to take a lit
e extra trouble and devote a little man
mo to the task , and turn out a wheel tba
s palpably of the highest grade. Thi
vhcels being finished , there is nothing mor
0 do but to nttnch them to the frame , whlcl
> y this time will be dry and rigid , if it ha
> ecn kept out of a damp place. There 1
Ittle difficulty about the pedals ; they ma ;
e made new , or the handle of a mangle , o
grindstone , or of a rotary pump will b
ound extremely serviceable. It is not ad
vlsablo for the amateur to 'forgo ' his owi
bain. It is much simpler to frogo a check
' one Is a reasonably good penman , am
pply the proceeds to the purchase of i
ultablo chain , cut the correct length , fret
1 hardware dealer. It must bo dlstlnctl
inderstood that.I I do not counsel the forgln
f a check In order to secure a chain , a
hat might lead the bicyclist into a chat
ang If not very carefully done ; I am merel
tatlng the different methods of proccdur
vlthout standing sponsor for any of them.
Wo now como to the question of the tire
think every ono will admit that the pneu
mntlc tire excels all others. Measure th
Ircumforence of the rim , then cut off th
exact length from a piece of rubber garde
lose. If you do not use garden hose t
prlnklo your lawn you may , perhaps , fin
i piece of the required length In a neigh
> or's garden. It Is hardly necessary t
point out that some care must bo taken i
he securing of rubber hose that does nc
> elong to you. Solder the ends of the rut
ber hose together and fasten the new til
to the rim with fish glue , to bo bad by it
gallon at any fish market.
The handle bar presents no difficult
which nn Intelligent amateur may not ovei
como. I generally use a couple of walklr
sticks which have the handles turned i
right angles to the cane. Cut the walklr
sticks In two , using the top half , and a
tach the sawcd-off ends to the tube t
means of a pleco of string or with sere
nails. Last , there Is the saddle. Mm
of the comforts of riding depends on tl
saddle. Take an old tenuls racket , attai
the handle horizontally to the upright tul
and sit on the netting. If you are luxurious
minded n small sofa pillow may be sewed <
the netting , and this' , with the spring
the handle , makes a moit easy-riding sai
die. I don't think much of pneumatic sa
dies. Hiding on air Is all right enough
theory , but men who have tried It by Jum
Ing from balloons have sometimes Injur
themselves on reaching the ground , evi
when they have bad a mile or two of c
between them and the earth.
We have now a completed bicycle , ai
the only question that remains Is wheth
to sllvcrplato It. give It a black finish ,
paint It. The decision Is very Important , ai
must not bo come to thoughtlessly. Let
be remembered that on this question turn
the last presidential'election' In the Unit
States. McKlnley held that a bicycle sbon
not bo silver-plated. Bryan contended tb
It should , and thus the silver question re
the country. In.twjjln. As no polltcs enl
into this discussion , I shall not give my 01
opinion regarding the silver question , t
will content , jnysolt , by. , ahojvlng bow t
three methods are accomplished. You pal
a bicycle Just a * you would , paint a wage
using the color that suit * your own coi
\
ptexlon belt. Come like a bright crlmnon ,
others a vivid yellow , nnd other * , again ,
iky blue. Th y are nil In perfect taste , ac
cording to the best artists , nnd to you have
merely to choose your color nnd apply It *
The black finish Is done by rubbing lamp
black'on the machine , and varnishing It
Silver plating Is more more difficult. I'lnce
n CO-ccnt pleco or a Mexican dollar In twenty
ounces of warm water , and simmer gently
until the ullver dissolves ; then apply the
result with n coarse towel , polishing with a
shoo brush. If you find the dollar does'
not dissolve readily In warm water , take It
with come friends to a saloon and you will
find how quickly It dissolves In beer. I
have known a silver dollar to melt away
before a thirsty crowd In twenty-two sec
onds. One dollar laid on the counter bt a
free lunch saloon ought to produce twenty
large glasses of silvering mixture within
one minute , If the man at the beer pump
understands his business.
That Is all I know about the construction
of bicycles.
DUE HONOR TO A HERO.
Mcnt. Cnnlilnpr'n RctiinrknMc Atlrcn-
lure with n Tnrticila.
While the work of torpedo destruction
was being so successfully prosecuted
throughout the south , relates Leslie's
Weekly , the rebel Ironclad Albcmarlo ,
roughly constructed on the Hoanoko river ,
came out Into Albemarlo sound nnd terror
ized the wooden fleet there , sinking the
Southflcld by ramming , exploding the boil
ers of the Sassacus , and raising Cain gen
erally. It was necessary to get rid of her ,
nnd to Lieutenant W. D. Gushing , n smooth
faced , long-haired young officer , who had
performed several daring exploits , was al
lotted the perilous task of destroying It.
The Albcmarlo was moored nt Plymouth ,
on the Itoanoko river , n stream about COO
feet wide , on the night of the 27th of Oc
tober , when Lieutenant Gushing , with seven
picked men , started from out the sound
In his steam launch , towing n boat with
thirteen men. Silently the little boats en
tered the mouth of the Uoanoke for Plym
outh , eight miles away an hour'a run.
The enemy's army , numbering thousands ,
occupied the town and forts , nnd the nar
row river was well picketed , a guard being
stationed on the unsubraerged deck of the
sunken steamer Southfleld , a mile below the
town. Fortune favored the bravo , nnd , suc
cessfully passing the river guard without
discovery Gushing cast off his tow opposite
the Ironclad , while simultaneously with n
largo 3re which suddenly blazed forth from
the river bank came a'hot fusillade from
the ship and men on shore. By the fire's
light Gushing saw n guard of IOKS surround
ing the ship , boomed out thirty feet from
her side , but , undaunted , he turned eo ns to
hit the booms nt a right angle , and In the
face of the firing , ran square upon nnd
over the shiny logs , and with headway
nearly gone , ns tho. firing tempornrlly
ceased , answered nonchalantly the captain's
hall with n Joke , ho' found himself just
where ho wanted to be , nearly tinder the
ram's quarter port , ten feet from the ugly
muzzle of n 100-pounder rifled gun.
Holding In the right hand. o "heel-
Jigger" of the torpedo and In the left the
exploding line , ho stood calmly near the
bow , the personification of .cool , courageous
heroism , as ho gave the order to lower the
boom , while the slight remaining notion
of the launch carried the torpedo under the
ram's overhang then , a strong pull of the
detaching line , n moment's pause for the
rising of the torpedo under the hull , n
slight pull by the left hand , just as It was
cut by a bullet the cxploslonrslmultnneons
with a discharge of canister from the 100-
pound rifle ten feet from bis left car ,
crashing into and -splintering the-launch ,
blinded with the thick , sulphurous smoke
cloud , drenched with" the mass of water
thrown up , his clothlBK..wJLth many bullet
holes and the last of the Albemarlo !
There is not In naval history such a mar
velous example of coolness and professional
skill , says I. R. Soley , as was shown by
Gushing in this exploit : Hls adventures ,
after Jumping from his disabled boat under
a volley of musketry , chilled while swim
ming for the opposite shorewandering' "and
crawling through swamps and hiding in the
day , swimming at night , avoiding pickets ,
finally capturing a little flat-bottomed boat
used by the pickets , floating behind and
pushing it away from him , finally getting
Into It and faintly paddling his wayto the
fleet In the sound all these Incidents wjould
make a thrilling story of themselves. The
nation has shown a Just * appreciation of his ;
services by naming the speedy torpedo boal
Gushing In his memory.
THE HAIRDRESSER REFLECTS.

The hairdresser was , as Is not unusual
with members of his profession , in a talka
tive mood. Ho was 'also inclined to medi
tate upon the vanities of human kind , which
he has admirable opportunities to observe ,
' reports the New York Tribune.
"If it wasn't for the fact that people
think so much of their looks , " he said ,
wo should lose three-quarters of our busl-
ess , and might as well shut up shop. II
Is wonderful to me , although you'd thlnl
I might be used to It by this time , to see
how much trouble people will take about
their hair. Just now tbo most fashionable
shade of hair among women Is a deep reddish -
dish brown or bronze. To get that coloi
we bleach the hair to a blonde shade am
11 then dye It to the proper bronze tone. I
Is a very slow Job , for there must be flv <
or six applications of the bleach and thei
the dyeing takes a good deal of time. The
whole process requires an entire day , ant
women will como in hero and sit frorr
morning until evening , never losing patience
if they only think the result will be becora
Ing and stylish.
"But that's only one of the ways in whlcl
they show their vanity about their hair
There are lots of others. Why , I bad i
woman como In the other day who wantei
n. all her own hair cut off , so that she couli
wear a wig I looked at her in surprise
Her head was covered with thick , soft
naturally wavy hair , of the finest quality
but what do you suppose was her objectloi
to It ? It was gray ! I took out the hair
pins , and the beautiful mass of hair fell ii
ripples far below her waist
" 'But , madam , ' I said , 'It's a shame to cu
off this hair. It Is magnificent. '
" 'Oh , no , " she said , 'I will not have gra
hair. Cut it , I tell you ; I want a brow
wig.1
"So. of course , I did as I was told. Th
hair dropped to the floor and I was glad ,
tell you , when I found she didn't want t
: h take It away with Her. * For ; you kno
hamleomo gray hair Is the rarest and banl
est to get In our business. Most of It come
from abroad. What do you suppose UK
woman's hair was worth to her ? Thirty dollars
lars not n cent less ! She went away with
heavy brown wig , whtchwashideous con
pared with the hair she had Just lost , .
"It Isn't fair , though to lay all the vault
to the women. Lots of men como here-1 !
regular intervals to ha.v theji ; hair , curie ;
Ir Oh , It is true ; there are" plenty of men val
enough for that , " her added ; as his audrU

Bd won't como again. Men who have their ha

"Roosevelt's Rough Hlders" Is the apt
alliterative title given to the crack cavalry
regiment which the government Is recruitIng -
Ing In the west for service In Cuba. The
determination of Theodore Roosevelt to re
tire from the office of assistant secretary
of the navy and Join the Cuban Invading
army resulted In the government approving *
the organization of a mounted regiment of
plainsmen all experienced riders and rifle
men who could render Invaluable service
In Cuba. This plan enabled the government
to commission Mr. Roosevelt In n branch
of the army befitting his experience on the
plains nnd In which active service was as
sured. On the war record the regiment is
to bo known as the "First Regiment of
Mounted Rifle Rangers. " It will bo com
manded by Colonel Leonard Wood , -with
Roosevelt as lieutenant colonel.
If there Is any Impression abroad , snys
the New York Herald , that this unique or-
ganlratlon Is ( o be created for hlppodromlng
or as an annex to Buffalo Bill's Wild West
aggregation , there Is nothing of that kind
In the mind of Colonel Wood or Lieutenant
Colonel Roosevelt. The men who will bo
selected for this Important command will bo
subjected to the most rigid physical examin
ation and when enlisted will bo thoroughly
trained and disciplined In all the requisites
of good soldiers. It Is the Intention and the
determination of the organizers of this troop
to make It the model cavalry regiment of
the present generation.
Those who are acquainted with Lieutenant
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt know him to be
an honest , straightforward , sincere and thor
oughly courageous man. His public career
and his private Intercourse have stamped
him as a thorough American , and he values
that title far above any civil or military
distinction that could bo conferred upon him. '
The thought of entering the army had not
dawned on him when he entered the Navy
department as assistant secretary under Sec
retary Long. When It became evident that
n conflict between Spain and the United
States was Inevitable Mr. Roosevelt promptly
assumed an < aggressive attitude and he has
never wavered In his determination to tnke
a hand In the fight.
While many of his official associates were
procrastinating and nursing the hope that
hostilities with Spain might bo averted ho
steadfnstly adhered to < the belief that Spain
was n treacherous nation and could not bo
handled with kid gloves.
His policy has ever been 'one of aggressive
ness. In his administration of the office of
assistant secretary of the navy and the
chairman of the NavafWnr board ho has ad
vocated an offensive , rather than a defensive ,
course In dealing wlthHhe'Spanlards.
He has been taugh't by experience that
when a battle Is on an aggressive campaign
Is far more effective than one of defense. In
other words , he Is nottono'of those who goes
through life with a chip ? on his shoulder ,
daring somebody to Jcnock it off , but when
fight he must It is his aim to try to get In
the first effective blow. That Is his nature
and that has been hi * policy ever since he
entered public life.
In organizing the Mounted Rifle Rangen
he desires to bo in n position to demonstrate
to his countrymen that ho Is ready to fight
as he Is to talk. The men who will rail )
around his standard must bo sound In body
able and willing to fight and obey orders
No man will be enlisted in this commanc
unless ho Is prepared to endure hardship :
and subject himself to the severest dis
cipline necessary to a perfect military or
ganization. Including officers and men , thi
complement of the regiment will bo 750.
Already recruiting sergeants are enrollini
the names of volunteers' and the list will bi
carefully revised , with a view to sclectlnj
only such as are capable of forming thi
finest body of light cavalry In the world. '
Abundance of Material.
At the present writing more than 2,50
applications for assignment to this regimen
have been received. Brave and courageou
spirits from Massachusetts , Now York , Vir
glnta , Kentucky , Mississippi , Colorado , lilt
nols , North Dakota and Wyoming have vol
unteercd for service In this regiment. Man ;
of these will of necessity have to bo pas3 i
over , as It is the intention of the organizer
of the command to draw upon the grca
northwest for the rank and fllo of the rcg
Iment.
The command will be assembled and or
ganlzed in accordance with this ordci
promulgated by the commanding general c
the army :
"By direction of the secretary of wai
Captain Leonard Wood , United States Arm )
Is relieved from duty In this city , and wll
proceed to the following named places , 1
the order designated , for duty in connectio
with the recruitment of a regiment c
mounted riflemen , to be organized unde
section 7 of the act of congress approve
April 22 , 1898 : Outhrle , O , T. ; Santa F <
N : M. ; Phoenix , A. T. ; Carson City , Nev ,
Salt Lake City , Utah ; Cheyenne , Wyo ,
Boise City , Idaho. "
It is proposed to have this command or
ganlzed , equipped and ready for actlo
within the next ten days. The rendezvou
will be In San Antonio , 'Tex. The officer
and men will wear the regulation cavalr
uniform , adaptable to the climate of Cubi
Good horses , good constitutions , good bat
its and perfect discipline will bo require !
This regiment Is organized for business , an
"no bad men are wanted. " The comman
will bo armed with the best modern rlflei
revolvers and machetes.
The man who Is to command the "Roug
Riders" was known through the west In tb
80s as the "fighting doctor. " For gal
lantry In the Oeronlmo campaign he wi
given a congressional medal , for It was re
ported of him that he had saved the con
mand at a time when olHof the officers ej
cept himself and ono 'other had broken dow
as a result of the hard campaign. He wi
a surgeon then , stationed In Arizona , bi
his career was more of : active soldlerlc
than of surgery.
Cr.reer of Colonel Wood.
Colonel Leonard Wood went Into the arrt
In 1885. His home was Boston. He reachc
the fort In Arizona which was to be h
headquarters at 7 o'clock ono evening I
June , 1885. The next-iroornlng at 4 o'cloi
he was In the field. ThaUwas the beglnnlr
of the Apache campaign. From then unt
March , 1887 , the troops were In the flel
and during that time Colonel Wood wi
with them , making three long trips in
Mexico , two of them more than 2,000 mil
'in length. The first two years of his du
In Arizona he was under Crook , and w ;
In the field jiretty much all the time.
In the Geronlmo campaign under Miles 1
was In command of Infantry for a conslde
able part of the time , and also of scouts.
It was during a portion of this campalg
lr when the heat In the southwest was so te
rlflr. that tbo men traveled In their unde
clothes , and all the officers except Wo
and one other broke down , that be foui
himself nt the head of a portion of the arm
During this time be and his men cover
ig 1,500 miles on foot and about 1,000 miles i
borieback ,
About three weeks after this trip had be
completed five of the Indians who bad be
captured escaped. Wood took eight pick
men and started after them. He and his 1
tie command were gone four monthi before
they returned with thrlr Imtlant , The ecnrth
carried them Into the heart of Mexico. They
went na far ns the Ynqul Valley , down In
the state of Blnnloa , Into tbo heart of n
mountainous region , which was as unsettled
and as unlnhabltntcd ns were the moun
tainous regions of the west before the gold
discoveries.
Wood had an active part In the Kldd out
break In 18S8. Ho remained In Arizona that
year and the next , nnd then was transferred
to California for four years , and was at the
Sierra Nevada camp. After , that ho was two
years nt Fort Mcl'herson , Atlanta , nnd then
came to Wnshlngton as a member of General
Miles' personal staff.
Wood Is the sort of innn who might be
termed "an nil around sport" of the right
sort. Ho Is an adept at the athletic games ,
and when stationed In the south not only
played foot ball himself but coached sotno of
the crack southern college teams. Ho Is a
natural shot , ono of the best on the frontier
at the time he was there.
President McKlnlcy has nnmcd two of the
majors for the regiment. One of these Is
Major Horsey , adjutant general of New
Mexico , and the other Is "Alec" Brodlc , ono
of the best known citizens of Arizona.
"Take it back
go to some grocer who will give you Pearl-
' " " inc. " That's the only way to do
when they send you an imitation.
The popularity of Pearline begets -
gets the habit of calling anything
that's washing-powder , "Pearl
ine. " Those who notice the difference
in name , think perhaps " it's about the
same thing. " It isn't. Nothing else
equals Pearline , the original and
standard washing compound. era
