THE CANTILEVER BICYCLE.
Mr. Nickall Pedersen, n Dane, Claim,
It’s Juet the Thins.

turea wherein this machine differs ma
terially from the ordinary bicycle is
the weight. Cantilevers range in
weight from the nine-pound racer to a
wheel for rough use, which weighs
fourteen pounds.
The construction is the outcome of
the Inventor’s desire to secure a per¬
fect seat. Mr. Nickall Pedersen Is a
Dane, residing In England, and he has
been a wbeetaton for twenty years.
His idea was to enjoy the comfort of a
hammock on a bdtycle, which he ac¬
complished by the use of silk strings
on which the saddie rests.
The front forks are attached to the
rest of the frame by a pivot connection
at the top and by a strong pivot hinge
at the point shown in the owt just
where the lower part of the frame
joining with the crank hanger goes up
to a point near the top of the front
wheel. This connection gives the ma¬
chine a sensitive steering device,

Traffic on the Great takes.
Five years ago there ; was not a
vessel on these lakes! that ilis
placed 5,000 tons when To-dajy floating on the
St. Mary’s river there are
not fewer than twenty which high-powered
steel screw stermers displace
about 8,500 tons on the same draft of
water. This represents, shys Cassier’s
Magazine, an average increase in the
carrying capacity of no less than 70
per cent., aud the percentage increase
in register tonnage is still higher.
Steel cargo steamers, 415 feet in
length and 48 feet in breadth, are now
being constructed.
These dimensions are greater than
those of the average modern ocean
steamer, though several British cargo
steamers are about 100 feet longer and
their depth and draft of Water is much
greater. The carrying capacity of
this new lake fleet will Vqual 3,500,
000 tons of ore, transported from the
head of Lake Superior to Lake Erie
in one season of navigation.
It is well known that the number
of vessel passages through t'le St.
Mary’." canal is much larger than through the
number of vessel passages
the Suez canal per annum, the number
of such passages being ae follows:
Suez canal, 3,434 steamers; Soo canal,
17,956. The tonnage of the former is
8,448,246, and of the Utter, 16,806,-
781 tons. Thus, it is Seen that the
tonnage passing the Soo canal during
only seven months of a year is 99 per
cent, greater than the tolinage passing
the Egyptian canal in twelve months.

Mabel. We don’t want any newspaper no¬

words of what I have to say may mean re¬

tell you of her ease.
“Two years ago this winter Mabel began
oomplaiuing of pains in her limbs, princi¬
pally in her lower limbs. She was going to
sohool, and had to walk about three quar¬
ters of n mile each day, going through all
kinds of weather. She was thirteen years
old and doing so well in her studies that 1
disliked to tako her fromsohool hut we had
to do it.
“For several months she was oonflned to
the house, and she grow pale and dwindled
down to almost nothing. Her legs and
arms were drawn up and her appearance
was pitiful. Several doctors had attended
her, hut it seemed that none of them did
her any good. They advised us to take hot
to the springs, but times were so hard we
could not afford it, although Martinsville wo flnaliy
managad to get her to the
baths. Here she grew suddenly weaker,
and silo it: seemed that sho could not stand It,
hut became better, and It seemed that
she was being benefited, but she suddenly
grew worse, and we had to bring her home.
“She lingered along, and last winter be¬
came worse again, and was nfillctod with a
nervous trouble almost like the St. Vitus'
dance. For some time we thought who
would die, and the physicians gave her up.
