| Public Building in Paris.
What is probably the oddest cloék
ever manufactured has been. made by
a Frenchman. It should appeal to
every wheelman, .for 'it is constructed
‘
solely of bicycles and parts thereof. .
It stands eleven and a half feet high,
and is the queerest combination in ap<
pearance at which any cyclist ever
gazed. Withal, it keeps correct time,
and the man whose duty it is to keep
it in order has a very easy time of it,
for so delicately“ is it constructed that
the gain or loss is almost infinitesi-
mal. It bears the appearance at first
glance of a circlet of bicycle wheels.

immense rim, while within this rim
Care the figures that denote time and
the hands that point the hour and the
minute. i
The name of the inventor and the
maker is Alphonse Duhamel. He is a
Parisian clockmaker. The clock will
be placed in one of the public build-
ings of Paris.
His Hammock Under Cars.
A queer character, “Jack, the ham-
mock rider, who lives by his wits,” is
attracting the attention of the people
throughout the State of Michigan.
-“Jack’s" hammock is of- his own con-
struction and bears the mark of con-
siderable ingenuity. It is designed to
fasten under a sleeping car to aid.
“Jack" in “beating” the railroad. The
hammock is made of heavy canvass,
quilted on the inside and fastened to a
stout stick at each end. Two large
iron‘hooks project from the wooden
rods and by these he attaches his novel
resting place to the two iron bars
which run the length of each side of
the car. A cover is sewed to one side
and almost covers the ends, the sewed ,
edge being placed toward the engine,
so that the wind pressure will keep
out the dust as the car speeds along.—

Tennyson fiard ‘tfi‘ i’ié‘use‘df
Tennyson, who was very fond of
delicacies of the table, 'waS‘wont to
say that the only advantage he de~
rived from being Poet Laureate was
that he Was usually ’served with-the
liver-wing of a chicken.‘ Professor
Max Muller gives an amusing account
of a sudden visit which Tennyson paid
to his house at Oxford. It was during
the long vacation and no provision had
been made for unexpected guests. Hos-
pitality, however, could scarcely do
less than ask the poet to remain to
dinner, and the invitation was extend-
ed to breakfast the following morning.
Dinner passed ofl tolerably well, the
only grudge on Tennyson’s part being
against the fish sauce, which was not
to his liking. At breakfast the profes-
sor and his young wife prided them-
selveslon being able to offer a dish of
very tempting cutlets. Tennyson has-
tily removed the cover, and to his host
and hostess’ horror exclaimed in never-
to-be-forgotten accents, “Mutton, chops!
the staple of every bad in in Eng-
land!” ' ’ , .

And treats you all alike, ,

At coasting or at racing
They’ve always stood the peer,
The reason is, they’re fitted with
The famous “Pitch line gear.”
The crack-a-jacks all ride them,
You know the reason why,
They’re just the class of riders

Prize winners are these wheels:
And ahead they’ll always be,
Just watch them in the races,
And for yourself you’ll see. 1"
