The reduction in the price of bicycles from 150 to less than a third of that amount has weighed heavily upon the minds of the manufacturers who entered the wheel trust.

The combination was undoubtedly made with the purpose of advancing prices to a point that would restore at least a part of the old fabulous profits, but It is doubtful if it can be made a success. Too many independent manufacturers are in existence who are free to extend their trade by offering every possible inducement In the way of price and quality, such as Individual competition suggests. One of these has just issued a circular, in which he has the following to say: "We have a thoroughly organized and profitable business, both in firearms and bicycles, and there is no necessity for our Joining any movement to attempt to monopolize or manipulate the bicycle trade, or to assist some of the 'top-heavy' Arms to dispose of their factories at fancy prices and thus avoid a probable We are and shall remain perfectly independent and free to act according to our business judgment and our sense of justice and fairness to the agents who have assisted us in building up our present large business. No one can buy better material or build high-grade bicycles cheaper than we can, and we have completed our plans and our new line of bicycles much earlier than' usual, so as to make this stati-ment frankly and squarely to oi agents, and we announce our line aid prices for the coming season as follows: Medium-grade roadster, $25; high-grade roadster, $35; with coaster brake, $40; with cushion frame, $50; chainless, $60." As these prices are a cut of $15 on each grade, and as the raanufacturer la one of high repute in the trade, ft is manifest that the trust wll) not )3 able to advance the post lit Wheels nejff season. Besides, the day has passed when the wheelman could be persuaded that his machine, beautiful and delicate as It Is, can be more costly than a small steam engine, Louisville Courier-Journal, McLAIN.

PRECAUTION IN POWDER MILLS FockeUeH Clothing fop Employee Hnd Trouter Mini Nqt Be Turned Up. The danger buildings of a powder mill are themselves so constructed that not a nail head or Iron in any shape Is exposed, and the roofs are made slight, so as to give easy vent to explosions. The garments of the workers are poeketleas, so that they cannot carry knives or matches, or, indeed, anything, and are made of non-inflammable material. Even the bqttons must not be made of metal, Np one is allowed to go about with trousers turned up at the bottom, because grit collected in that war, and the merest ljard speck qf forejgq matter In a charge Qf gunpowder is fraught with danger, The entrances to danger buildings are protected by boards placed edgewise, so that when the door Is open nothing in the shape of dirt can work in. This also serves as a check to any one who might thoughtlessly enter without having first removed bis boots and put on the overalls that are kept just Inside the door.

Doors are made to open outward, so as to enable them to escape the more readily, and on the approach of a thunderstorm the works are stopped and the operatives repair to the different watchhouses scattered over the 300 acres covered by these extensive works. Every week the machinery is inspected and the reports as to its condition are printed and filed. In the case of a danger building needing to be repaired must first be washed out before a hammer or pther iron topi is admitted to it. When artificial light Is required, as when working at night or in c)ull weather, the lights are kept outside, being placed on the window ledges. In the case of the works magazine, which is surrounded with water, no light of any kind is ever permitted near it.

These are only a few of the precautions against accidents at the works. They are sufficient, however, to show how lively must be the sense of danger. Men In powder bowses usually have an arranged plan of escape in their minds and at the least unexpected noise have not hesitated to plunge Into the canal. 4 t'liriua Herue, A curious rescue was effected recently In the County Wicklow, Ireland. Borne time In April last an unfortunate heep became Imprisoned on a part of the rugged cliffs arising from the banks of the Upper Lake Glendalougb, and though many plans were proposed to get It down, no one was found willing to undertake the risk, when a gentleman from South Africa volunteered to rescue the poor animal.

After an arduous and exciting climb, he managed to reach the spot, and, having attached a rope to the sheep, it was lowered to the lake, where a boat was ready to receive It. So hungry was poor brute that whn dangling in the air It tried to bite at the tufts of grass on the face of the cliff. It must have died of starvation in a very few days mure, as every bit of herbage within reach was nibbled to the earth, gome Idea of the risk this rescuer run. may be gathered from the fact that this particular spnt has always been considered Inaccessible, and. that it took the gentleman fully two hours to make the ascent.

The lake under the cliff Is forty fathoms deep. ML McGraw Co.
