NEED NOT BE A BICYCLIST 10 RIDE IT.
The Scheme of a Rich Frenchman, Who Is Going to
the Life Stations on Trial.
CAN BE FOLDED FOR USE ON OCEAN STEAMSHIPS.
It used to be that bicycling on the
ocean was an idea belonging to cranks— ]
a curious delusion of continued cads on
casters who thought nothing too good
or too bad, too hard or too easy, for
bicyclists.
But now you see models of boats, run
by leg power, so pi miful that you have
ppas d to wonder, and only notice them i
fur some peculiar newness that may lie
about them. '1 he idea of balancing
yourself and doing the work of locomo
tion with your fe t, without much ef
fort, is so good that you are always
i , ady to know something more that you
can do in this way.
ivery newest bicycle feat lias been
accomplish til by a Canadian I* tench- j
mar., hidouard tie Rigne, of Toronto. He !
has invented a bicycle life-saving appar- :
a:as which he has patented, atut is tin- 1
ashing to pres lit to the United States
life-saving stations along the coast.!

amount of coast work that the United
States has. and no country is couse-:
quently more in need of aid for the a!- (
i t or (;V rv -rked coast life-savers, i-nst_
The life-bt/uy has four large air com
partments, each one covered with cork
and made absolutely non-sinkable. Ris
ing above these there is a seat upon
which the person sits as on a bicycle
saddle. As soon as lie is seated the
bouy begins to float along. A sail over
head carries it rapidly.
ADRIFT ON THE SEA.
This sail is kept set. but in the hands
of any one who understands yachting
it can He turned and shifted, raised or
lowered, until the right direction is ob
tained. In the hands of an experienced
person the bouy would sail rapidly in
one direction, bringing the person cither
to land or iu sight of a ship in a short
time.
Mariners say that in case of being
adrift upon the sea without chart or
compass there is nothing as good as per
sistent sailing in one direction. The
course is bound to cross that of some
ocean steamer, while if a drifting course
is taken a man may bv some misfor
tune miss every ocean craft upon the
sea for days.
Once s ated in the bicycle seat, a per- 1
son is bound to lie saved. Even if there

A RED BADGE IN GREECE.
Under the above head Col. Bob Mr
Eldowney, who knows what war is and
how it goes to he in battle, having had
several years’ experience along in the
sixties, has fun with one of Stephen
Crane's effusions.
Stephen Crane, author of “The Red
Badge of Courage," and who at the
time of writing it had never seen a bat
tle, hut who, as most readers of the
book claim, had a true conception of
war, is now in Greece as a war corre
spondent of the New York Journal. He
saw the battle of Valestino, and here
are some of his fantastic observations:
“The roll of musketry fire was tre
mendous. in the distance it sounded
like the tearing of a cloth.” (Bull dog
“pants,” for instance.) “Nearer, it
sounded like rain on a resonant roof
ing.”,(Very like: tin or iron roofing,
say.) “Close by, it was just long crash
after crash.” (Used for Turkish hath
towels.) "It was a beautiful sound
(beautiful fiddlestick), beautiful as had
never been dreamed.” (What does the
fellow moan, anyway?) "It was more
mpre-sive ;han the roar of Niagara.”
(Some sense there, hut he might have
ac’.den a trifle more exciting, and to he
particular, more scary.)
“It was the most beautiful (beautiful
againi sound of my experience, barring
no symphony.” (Been attending a
Wagner rehearsal when the drums
went off. or at one of the late Put Gil- ;
moti’s concerts.) “The Greeks fought j
wi h the patience of salaried bookkeep
eis." (We now know what was the
matter with them.) "I learned to curse
the German officers who directed the
(ire of :ho Turkish batteries.” (Well, '
that don’t take long.)
“War takes a long time.” (You bet; .
a, little more than four years some
time?.) "One has strong feelings un
der the circumstances." (Yes; you
wish everybody on the other side was
. . i.) “M< st woui d( d < ' clu< ■ hat
a battle is over.” (So it is for them.)
"hate in :ho afternoon, after another
successful day, came the order to re
treat.” (Most of the retreats come just
r you have whaled the enemy out
cf his hoots.) “The order to retreat
was an extraordinary order.” (Very
likely: extraordinary circumstance
r.u.v have demanded it. We have been
at he spot.) “In the twilight, lighted
by Turkish shells, the Greeks slowly
withdrew." (What an accomplished
lie. We fear the R d Badge of Courage
is a romance.)

A Sanitarium at Berne,Where Society's i'W
ites Get Ready for the Newport Sea<
THEY TAKE ALL OF THEIR MEALS OUTDOOR?
Smart Town Houses Fitted Up with Din::
Upon the Roof Lighted By Stars.
! THERE IS NOTHING ARTIFICIAL IN THE “DINNER
Dr. Gallop, of Berne, New York, has
l opened a sanitarium a few miles from
I that place for the treament of worn
I out dinner givers. His patients are the
j wealthy leaders of society who have
dined out so much that nothing but
j ozone can digest their meals.
The sanitarium of the doctor is very
similar to the hospital built by the late
Dr. Swinbourn, of Swinbourn Island, in
New York Harbor, for the reception of
small-pox patients. The rooms have
curtains instead of outside walls. Ordi
narily the curtains are lifted and the air
blows into the rooms. The guests could
walk out into space were it not tor a
hand-rail. The house is all piazza on
the first floor, and presents the curious
appearance of being a house lifted up
on legs. It is like a summer pavilion
with rooms overhead and a drinking
place upon the ground floor.
l)r. Gallop's iuea is to restore society’s
tired-outs: :ind make them fresh and
ready for tlie season at Newport.
As is well known Ward McAllister’s
illness came through a varie.y of rich
foods which he, after a while, could not
digest. The illness of Mrs. Pa ran Stev
ens came about indirectly in the same
way. During the last twelve months
the* leaders of society hav - been taken
off so alarmingly that there was a de
mand for a cure that would really he a
cure.
At present the Prince of Wales is at
C;.nnes taking the cure for digestion.
The Countess of Essex and Uuiy Wol
verton. Lady Grey-Edgerton :fml their
respective lords are taking 'lie cure
wit a His Royal Highness. They go out
every day'and join him at *ii net*. And
in London there ar- three German doc- :
tors brought f:nm Baden Baden to try !
to cure the stomach troubles of those
who entertain and are emenained for a
living.
The sanitarium at Berne is in appoint
ments modelled after the one at the
outskirts of Carlsbad, where Carmen
Sylva went when she was so out of sorts
a‘ few years ago. Its principal feature
is ^hat the dining room is under the
trees.
Every evening at 7 o'clock there ga
ther under t h leafing-out trees the in
mates of the sanitarium, the doctor oc
cupying the seat of honor at the head
of :h»> tcble. They are a happy-looking I
lot. not at all invalid in appearance, but |
they are worn out and recuperating just
the same. When the sun dies away the
guecs cat in darkness until the stars
come out.
Those who have visited the Keeley
cures have been struck by the happy
faces of tlie inmates. They have a so
cial life, much more exclusive than one
would suppose from the name of th
place. They are a lot of persons a:
