WOMEN HEAR OF X The Chainless Bicycle and New Delights of Paris. Eva Petty In New Yors Sun. They are b*ck in town?the bicycle girls. The favorite rune are thronged with them and they appear to be just as enthusiastic over their steel steeds as ever. A midsummer sun may continue to beau., but the wbeelwomeo do not complain; they follow suit. Dnr ing the months f August their ranks thinned out considerably, but those who dropped outcauie back along with the oysters, ami most of them declare that they are glad of it, notwithstanding: the heat. Their faces glow, souie with K&tistaotiou and others from applied effort, hh they skim or pull over the never-old, always new routes through the Park and along the boulevards. - It's wheels, whee err, and wheeling everywhere that oue goes nowadays. Alter all, cyclists and o> ster eaters arc a good deal alike. A lot . of people who are fond of oysters eat tbem on the first day of September on pn. ciple, even if the mere -ry in the tubtf'.s playing tasr with the 10'J notch. And it't the very same way with people who ride wLeels, particularly women. They take to the road ou the 1st of September,- after giving up the rport on account of the August sun, no m uter if they bro'l in tin act. The blcve'e boom continues. lr. lias broken out afresi. The ojclis's aren't the only people who ara blisjluily happy. The manufacturers ami dealers are in high g'ee. too. They ray that the good times are already beiti.; f dt in their business, though this is their dullest season. A Ion of feminine en thusiatts met in au academy ou the I Houlevard a few dvjB u^o. After telling all about the perfectly lovely bv(junior they hail spent, at(l perfectly j^raud or perfectly awful roads, as The eas lui^ht be, that they had ncouutced, they fell to talking about the r.?iva with all the eujteruess ot a bcore id Wall street brokers. "They tell tue," said a tall girl, t imp d as brown as a Cuban, "th'?f the fa'l trade in hieyeics is big;!??r th-ni ir I ? > ever I een I efore in ih? history of wheels. I woed'-r if it is tree." "Of course it ir," answered a b'.srne-s-Iike youu&t moiuhii, "ami fr. r my life 1 don't see whet peop'e are btt.ing wheels lor now.

"Yes," said Mr. Bridguien, in r< sponse to a volley of questions, "tl e revival in trade lots made itself very noticeable in the bicycle business, though, of course, tins business would perhaps feel it less than any did, in the fall. However, our trade has been larger this fall than ever before at this season, and I'm sure all dealers in highgrade machines have had the same experience." "Tell us all about the chainlf ss win el that we are to have next year," urged a woman noted for her fine riding. "When is It to be put on exhibition, and what does it lo>k like, and how does it run, and what does it cost!" "You had all better wait and examine the chainlets wheels for yourselves," laughingly responded Mr. Bridgmau. "Just when the model will be 011 exhibition is hard to say. It is being perfected now. Perhaps It will be out by the first of October, mav be not until November, and possibly even later; but I can assert thai it will be the wheel of the coming year. While in England and France I made a close study of chainless wheels. One French machine id decidedly the best that, they have over there. It w-is on this machine that Huret made hie wonderful record, riding 504 miles in twenty four hours. He covered twenty four miles daring the last hour, liobie, who ie in this country now, was a competitor in this race, but Huret ran off the track after seventeen hours, and finished the I st seven alone, l'aere is prac'-ntiy no ottier chainless wheel manufactured on the other side of sufficient interest to speak about. All of the others are experimental. Some of them even have j?o name." They have been brought out by inventors who think they hive a great thing, but they all thid that, their work is far from perfect. If a man can make such a record oo a French wheel as Huret, did, I Almost fear to think of what the record will be on an American cbainles*. "The French people have made great advance In the manufacture of bicycles since I was there four years ago. They made only a few then and these were crude; hot tbey turn out some good machines now. On the other . gland has been at a stand* Theire has b<en a little linprorement in heir wheels from Time to rime, bat they arY? practically tbe same thst they were foffir years ago. The English people are a i; nouey-making people ar,d the wbeel risers have been ocntent , with their wlaeels, so of course the manufacturers I were only too glad to keep in the sam rut One sees a grest mauy American V-beels both in Paris ana ixmuoa. UuryiiHcaiueB received a b'ack eye over thekre, though, for a great many cheap wl\eels, which could not be sold here, have been shipped there by the trade amxVsold to retail meu, who gave oat th? Jmpm-cHsion that these rettle-go-bang afTalrs^were the best American wheels. All trha tame, the American wheel is becoming very important factor in English andNjontinental trade." "Tell as about the wheelwomen "or Pa-is," urged a school girl. "And abut cycling there. "It must be like fairyland." "Cycling in Paris is great," replied the authority. "The Parisian women ride well, but not so well as Americsns. They all wear bloomers and ride dia moud frame machines. Home of the women ride in men's hosiery, exposing their bare legs, but this is the exception and not the rule, as is so often asserted. A great many men ride barelegged. In EngiaLil the women go to the other extreme. They wear very long skirts and ride the lo >p frame exc naively. Wheeling is an all the year round bush ess with the women of both countries They never stop for weather or atmospheric changes. "The cvcltars in France are a great factor. Everything possible is done f r tlie'r pleasure and comfor . Tie Palais Si ort, the most wonderful bicycle soidemy in ditj world, i-? a iuo-t interesting and beautiful place. It is hml*. wi*.h what might be called a series of spiral galleries, and as a pupil grows tuore and more prolioient lie or she trees higher and higher, It is cue mile from the top gallery, where a punil is supposed to take a dipl iu t, to < he ground iloor, where beginuers take their firjt leprous.

" Yes," answered ivlr. Ilridgmau, "and that's something we ought to hav< r Vht h we In tlnv Tor*. The nc th fa ujous outdoor schoel in Paris occupies a large sp?c?, about equal to one of our blocks. It is surrounded by a high board fenc \ and at the main eutrance is a magndi ient cafe. A circular track is built around the space. This is made of clay aud covered sufficiently to ke-p the surface from being affected by the rain*. On this races are held, and when it is not in for such purposes cyclists are at liberty to lide there. In the very centre of the epace is a level circle where beginners are taught 10 liJe, and between this and the lace tra k is the queerest bicyc'e path I ever saw. It is a series of ops and downs, and riders are supposed to learn how to take hilis here. They go from the level circle to this track. The most beautiful beds of flowers and rare plants adorn every Inch of epace not given up to wheels in this outdoor academy, and it is perfect from an artistic standpoint. All the old racing tracks in France are banked at a tremendoas height. When the racing men are taking some of the curves on the famous Seine track they look as if they were riding at right angles, and It i?>. startling sight to see thirty or forty making that circuit at full speed. The newest track, the Pare de Paris, on which Huret nude hie wonderful record, it a half-mile in circnmferenoe and is not banked nearly bo high aa the old tr?ck?. The reaBon for reducing the banking in That it Ib hard for the motor vehicle*, which the French uee for pacer*, to go over a track banked *o high." ' Dj you mean to say they have motor carriage** pace their racers in-tead of quad* and bo on, aa we do?" asked a woman who haa ail the records at her tongue's tip. "Ycb," auswered Mr. Hridginan, and we shall do bo in America soon. Motor vehicles are much f "1" ami then we can regnla'e their speed better than that or man To \ eturn to the Pare de Paris. The entrance is re illy magnifi cent and Is rei ched by a winding driveway, beantiful on each side by masses of flower and shrubbery. The circle within the track is one magnificent flower garden, puuetuated with fountains. The French take better care of their racing men than we do. Dressing rooms, well fitted np, extend the whole lenrtb of ttie track, so that each team is sepsrated froin the other and individuals can be as private as if they occupied a room at a hotel.

They do not put a cheek on the wheel, but place it in a rack numbered to com spond with your check. It's great fun to watch the attendants handle the wheels. Each machfue passes through the hands of three men. They are stationed sometimes fl'ty feet -apart, and yet they otpver think of handing a ticyo'e from one to th\other. They have become so expert at handling them that they shoot them along i ? a manner that, reminds one o'.a toboggan. Maybe a person who doesn't know anything about a wheel might think this a slin? pie thing to do?" "Let such try to trundle a wheel aloug or get it up the stoop," sang out a jolly gi 1 and everyone laughed uu dcst'indingly "Yes," concluded Mr. Bridgman. "cycling on the other side is great, but, on the whole, American v omen are the be?-t riders and Am*ricau wheels ar-? the best wheels, even if our roads aren't so good." Preserving Foods in Tin. The process of preserving aliments In tin had its origin at Nancy, France. In 1841 Joseph Coliu t f that town established an agency in L'?udoo for the sale of tinned delicacies. Their cost, compared to that of today, reveals what has been accomplished in cheapening these products during the past fifty-six years. In 1841 a quart of tnrt e soup in tin put. up by Colin cost $:> 75; a small box of sardines, $1.25; an entire truffled sahuo i. $15; a beef tongue, $2; a Toulon*** duck, truffled, $'). Vegetables were proportionately dar. Colin evideutly c.rrieil 1 is s) st i mnch further than is attempted at t' piesent day. He sold iu tin an enr! > sucking pig, fi r which he charged $! J.fiO.
