When Crosby of the United States Express company was abroad a few weeks ago he noticed in London that many tradesmen and shopkeepers were delivering f parcels and small bundles by men on bicycles. The idea then struck him that the pneumatic-tired machine might be used to and with great saving by advantage the express company. As soon as he returned to this country'hesubmitted.his scheme to a prominent bicycle manufacturing concern and the result has been! a tricycle which seems to fill the bill perfectly. The machine Is simple in construction. There is no chain, as "the" front "wheel is made the driving wheel, and is worked with the pedals attached directly to it, as was the method with the discarded high wheels. The seat is a trifle, to the rear of the front wheel, but not too far back to alter the pedaling motion from that used in propelling an ordinary safety. The two rear wheels are joined, by an axle, to which runs a stout bar from the fork of the front wheel. Fitted over the axle and between the rear wheels is a wooden box to hold the packsquare J ages for. delivery. The receptacle for packages is thirty inches long, twenty-eigwide and twenty-on- e deep. It has a closed top and is opened by doors behind. The doors are supplied with a strong lock, and the whole box is coated with a water-prosubstance. Around the top of the box is a guard rail for extra packages that cannot, be placed Inside. The wheels have rubber tires and are about the size of those of the ordinary bicycle. The vehicle weighs a little over sixty pounds and is capable of carrying as much as the driver can comfortably pull after him.
