An English bicycle "crank" who recently re-cently had two wheels stolen within as many weeks comes forward with a novel ir.wntiun to do away with bicycle bi-cycle ihk'U's. lie would have the wheel as it is being be-ing ridden off by a thief cry out at eery revolution of the treadles: "Stop thief!" The ,vour man has affixed a miniature minia-ture phonograph to his bicycle, directly direct-ly under the saddle. The phouoqiaph in ineloFid in a tquare box and the apparatus ap-paratus only weighs 21!. pound;. In the center of the box is the tinfoil cell upon which he has recorded the words "Stop thief!" many times. A wire connects with the rear wheel of the bicycle, and with that the apparatus in eomplrt e. When the youn man enter; a build-in!.' build-in!.' he presses a button and his thiif ratctier is iet.

Th,-' faster he rides the wheel the louder frows the pursuing1 voice, until un-til finally the thief in diypust vaults off the wheel and leaves it 1o its fate. A pressure of the button by the owner and the mechanism is ('etaehed and the wheel rm:s smoothly. The younfr inventor intends to apply for a patent ns soon as he has the contrivance contriv-ance perfected. SHOES FOR CELESTIAL WOMEN Wherein Them. Articles Differ from Those Worn ! American Ameri-can Ladle. The Chinese woman's shoe is provided provid-ed with a flat heel which alone serves as a point of support for the entire body. The point of the foot does not touch t he ground, and the women walk sometimes like club-footed persons, says the New York Herald. They are not very steady upon their feet, and when they become aged have to use a car.e. They walk with tlieir arms slightly extended and performing the oft'ee of a balance pole, and with the pelvis thrown back and the breast slightly forward they seem to be endeavoring en-deavoring to preserve their center of gravity. When their heels are close to-ijcther to-ijcther the slightest push may upset them. A foot Is so much the more appreciated appreci-ated in proportion as it is smaller, The Chinese woman is very modest when it is a question of her feet. A traveler says he has several times attended at-tended mandarins' wives, who were at'iieted with foot troubles, and who consented only wilh pi'tat hesitation and blushing to allow themselves to be examined, and even then they so arranged ar-ranged themselves as to expose only the ailing part. It may not be generally known that all Chinese women do not have deformed de-formed feet. This mutilation is more frequent in the south than in thi north and in cities than in the rural districts.

RED UNIFORMS HARD TO HIT. It lias Oeeu Proven a Fallacy That Scurlet In I'articulurly Obtrosl ve. Scurlet, it has alw ays been supposed, was the worst color possible for the purposes of the battlefield, says the Army and Navy (ia.ette. It has been said so with such frequency, indeed, that nobody of late years has cared to dispute the fact. Wc owe it to sonic very practical experiments carried out in (.ennuny that the question has now been put on ;i more satisfactory basis. A squad of ten men, two drcsauJ in light gray, two in dark gray, two in scarlet, two in blue and two in green, were lately ordered to march across an open country. Their movements move-ments were closely w atched. The first men to disappear from sight were those in light gray, immediately afterward after-ward the acarlct, then 1he dark gray and finally the blue and the green. Hera we have all well-worn theories upset. Experiments carried out on the rifle range showed that our na-tionnl na-tionnl 'color gave the worst mark i'w the rifle. Twenty men, all pood shots, were used for the purpose of the experiment. ex-periment. After they had fired a given number of rounds it was discovered that scarlet was far the most difficult color to hit. For every miss nt the other colors there were three in favor of scarlet. We will not assert that these experiments were conclusive evidence evi-dence in favor of our national color, but they certainly go a long way to justify its retention. There is much to be said in' these days of quick-firing guns in fnior of a uniform which difficult to hit. and in this particular scarlet undoubtedly will hold its own against ull other colors. HUNGRY EUROPEANS. In China Their Only Variation from l'ork and It lee Is nice and Cork. There was a painful lack of variety in our food. Men dying of thirst spend their last hour hi thinking of iced champagne, sherry cobblers, cocktails and draughts of beer, whiskies and bodas, dead horses' heads or whatever their particular beverage may be. We gastronomically fooled ourselves to the top of our bent. "I think," one would say, "when we get to the Hotel do 1'aris to-night we'll have a nice little lit-tle French dinner of six courses, with coffee and green chartreuse to wind up with." "Well," another would remark, re-mark, "I should be content with some soup, a little fish, a slice of beef and nome tart." "Chops and tomato sauce for me," murmured a third, oblivious of the fate that befell Mr. I'ickwiek, who bad a similar desire, says Travel. Then we would reach a slimy, begrimed be-grimed village, creep into a smelling hut mid make, our dinner of pork and ! rice, or rice nnd pork when we de sired to vary the menu. Jiut one night at n spot called Taeping-Pu, when we culled for the perennial pork we were informed that we could not be supplied. sup-plied. ".'o pork!" we exclaimed; "no pork in China? Why, Chinamen are three parts pork." Then we were told we were in a Mussulman village, where swine were nn abomination, but we could have salt. beef. We jumpeYI joyfully joy-fully at the salt beef, so called, though w e knew perfectly well it was nothing else but stale, unprofitable, sinewy wild goat. ntjr Silver Howls. In one of the windows of Dalkeith palace there is a large silver bowl, dated 1702, over 2.000 ounces in weight, says the Pall Mall Magazine, The royal arms are engraved upon it, as it was the property of John, second duke of Argyle, at one time ambassador tc Spain. lie left it to his daughter, Lady Miry Coke, sister to Lady Dalkeith. Four similar bowls are known to exist in Great Britain; they were formerly used for washing plates, knives and forks in the room during the course of ii Imnquet, This bowl has since been put to better use, as it was filled with whisky toddy when the present duke came of agp, in 152. t.CI.U.Eptlfit EJiiidbtj the Spi'titnr'air.

"If you through carelessness or accident, ac-cident, eaue them to break the lead point they lose whatever regard they have for you and forever afterward regard re-gard you as inimical.
