SAFE GUIDE POSTS.
Their tn t rod act lon la Kr rry Stale af
Ike I aloa Wonld He Welcomes
br Uloycllsts.
One of the worst annoyances, if not
the greatest, which cyclists are Com?
pelled to endure in many parts of the
country is that which i- rjccaaioned by
the kbsescc of readable direction posts
Si cross roads. The sight of a sign?
post which is readable Is, therefore,
always a welcome one to those who
happen to cycle in a strange locality,
fur it places heyond doubt the question
which every tourist is continually ask?
ing himself: "Am I on the right road?"
Should the mockery of a Iii gat post
of which lt is impossible to de?
cipher the lettering, that suffers from
stress of wind and weather, or that the
wind lias twisted around in the wrong
direction, the situation is only ren?
dered more exasperating. It is there?
fore a pleasure to refer to guide posts
A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
Of the kind which have been introduced
in a certain locality. The guide con?
sists of an iron post and framework
fingers, in which are set, also in iron,
the words which indicate the places
whose names are shown. The posts are
usually palsied so that in thc dusk of
evening they show up very clearly, and,
unless the night is particularly dark,
it is an easy niatter'to read the words
without the aid of ailight. Eves if a
heisted rifler shouldM>e left in this di?
ll inrna, by carefully tracing with the
flnge/a the shapes of the different let?
ters, thc whole word can he made out;
with an ordinary wooden pout it is, of
-. impossible to decipher the
wording. Another great advantage the
new | -es is that the lettering
can be seen from both sides.
QUITE A DIFFERENCE.
Hov* Far a Man Who Rides a Hie; ria
Leaves llehlnd Him the Maa
Who Walka.
The difference between the distance
covereti hy a man walking thc minimum
of one step and that covereti by the
cyclist pedaling one revolution is
astounding, to say nothing of the great
saving of muscular energy. To ap?
preciate the difference we must first
understand what is meant by the
"gear" of the machine. There are two
notched wheels (sprockets), one faxed
to the ].editls, the other to the back
wheel. Increased circumferential
speed ls obtained by making the front
sprocket larger than that on the back
wheel. Thus, if there are 24 notches
on the front sprocket and eight OS the
back one, lt is plain that when the
pedals have gone round once the chain
has engaged the 24 notches on the front
sprocket. Hut as there are only eight
notches OH the hack sprocket it follows
Issi tint sprocket must have gone
round three times (3x8 equals 24, the
number on the front sprocket) in order
to keep pace with the pedal Sprocket.
The beek wheel of the cycle, ther.
with one turn of the pedals, goes round
three times. The modern bicycle has
increased the locomotive powers of man
to ?sch an extent that in order to cover
ns much ground in one step In a walk
as he would at sach stroke of his pedals
lie would have to be a giant 35 feet in
height. The one revolution of the
pedals of a 120-gear machine would be
31 feet 4 inches, and to cover this ground
our giant, covering a little tiver IS feet
at a step, would have to take two of
them.?(...Iden Penny.
EVERYBODY CYCLES.
tana the \allve* of Afelca the lae
of the Wheel I* Kant lleeoaa
Ina a Positive Riff,
Nowadays, everybody cycles. The
difficulty is to get Into a part of the
world where folks don't. One has not
heard yet that the I'skimos wheel, or
that the Patagonians have cycling
gymkhanas, But, no doubt, all that is
within ineasurahle distance. Among
the native races in Africa cyt ling is fast
ming a positive rage. Thia is par
ticularly so in South Africa. The
Kaffirs are enthusiastic, and in King
William's Town and (iraham's Town
they have clubs of their own. In Natal
there are three native clubs. A little
lime ag.., two blacks insisted in bi?
cycles, and started careering about the
streets of Johannesburg, till an in?
dustrious constable knocked them off
their machines and took them into cus?
tody. There was no imprisonment in?
flicted on them for daring to imitate
their white neighbors, tint they were
told that cycling was for white people,
not for blacks. So nothing further has
been heard of the pair, in Zululand
the wheel is quite common. It is the
usual vehicle among traders going
round to the various stores seeking or?
ders, and the outfit of no missionary is
complete without one.
