HANDLE-BAR BENDER.
Ea*lly Made and Capable of Turning
Out Many Shaped Dan.
Handle-bar bending is an operation
which has worried more than one re-
pair man and caused a great deal of
study on the part of factory superin-
tendents and foremen. There have
been many devices for facilitating the
work but many have been mere make-
shifts and the majority of those that
have been successes do not allow but
one shaped bar to be bent.
The illustrations show the construc-
tion of a bending machine which per-
mits a variety of bars only limited by
the extent of the operator's ingenuity
to be bent.
It consists primarily of the two roll-
ers A and B. They arc mounted on the
solid base D which is furnished with
the rectangular branch G designed to
be clamped in a strong vise. Of course.
PLAN OF BENDING MACHINE.
for factory use the machine could be
mounted on a permanent frame. For
repair shop purposes however it is best
made as shown. The base carries a pin
around which swings a lever. C. This
should be about three feet long. The
pin immediately after emerging from '
the lever hub is turned down smaller
leaving a bearing against which the
.roller A —which also fits over the pin—-
may be screwed 1 iyht and the lever still
left free to swing. The roller B turns
freely around a pin mounted on the
lever as shown. The two pins are the
same size in order that the two rollers
may be interchangeable. The rollers
have in their edges grooves of like di-
ameter tn ;e standard handle-bar
stock us. d. For general purposes sev-
c.i-cighths inch is best. At the outer
end of the D is a wide slot into which
fits the piece E shown enlarged in Fig.
3. This has a standard in one corner of
the plate with a groove on each side to
match those with the rollers and of the
same height above the base. A bolt F
fastens this plate to the base. D. In
Figs. 1 and 2 E is located so that its
inner groove* is exactly opposite that
in the roller B. Were A and B inter-
changed E would be turned aroifhd to
come into the other corner of the slot
in D the bolt F put into n second pro-
vided hole the reverse groove brought
opposite the roller groove and the stand-
ard removed enough away to allow the
rollers to occupy the same relative po-
sition with the machine as before
though reversed. The standard. E need
not.be more than an inch long.
Supposing A were six inches in diam-
eter and B four then if a piece of tub-
ing filled and plugged as usual were
slipped in between A and B and the end
resting in the groove in E the lever
might be swung around and B roll-
ing around A would bend the tub-
ing in a circle with a three-inch
radius. If A and I* were reversed
the tube could be beat in the same man-
ner on a circle with a two-inch radius.
With these two available curves almost
any style of bar can be bent by employ-
ing different combinations of arcs and
straight places. —Cleveland Cycling Ga-

BICYCLING ACCIDENTS.
Analysis of Their Causes Made by u
English Journal.
About 40 persons have come by their
deaths from cycling during the pres-
ent season and about J.OO more have
been seriously injured. This estimate
which is based on a very careful ex-
amination of the files of the dally pa-
per». may not oe quite as complete auu
conclusive as one could have wished
but if It errs it certainly does not do
: so on the score of over-estimation.
It is noteworthy that no reliable
। statistics exist on the subject for even
the cycling papers or the majority of
them from motives which seem curious
to the lay mind customarily preserve
a complete silence on the misdoings of
the wheel or of its riders. This ostrich
like policy however defeats its own
ends since a trade paper with a grasp
on its subject could easily pulverize
the arguments of alarmists armed
though they should be with a butcher’s
bill as serious as that recorded above.
It is indeed serious for it takes no ac-
count of the myriad minor mishaps
which befall most wheelmen sooner or
later in their careers and yet it is
neither abnormal nor alarming. .
From the point of view of the pedes-
trian there is really little to complain
of. Probably five fatal accidents and
twice as many serious mishaps to mem-
bers of the general public are to be laid
to the charge of the whole body of cy-
clists. They are regrettable yet they
do not bear the least proportion in the
world to the havoc wrought by light
and rapidly-moving horse-drawn ve-
hicles. And the cycle has every whit as
much right as the trap on the road and
too the machine which runs away with
its rider does infinitesimally less dam-
age than the horse which bolts.
As regards accidents to cyclists
themselves men are of course most
numerous sufferers yet some six wom-
en have lost their lives this year rather
a large percentage of the whole death
roll. Sixty per cent of the accidents
have been caused by riders losing con-
trol of their machines while descend-
ing steep hills. Unfortunately no rec-
ord exists as to the presence or absence
of a brake on these occasions but the
negative inference is probably correct
in most of the cases. Track riding pure
and simple only produced relatively
few bad spills. Collisions with other
vehicles accounted for 20 per cent of
the whole total of accidents yet cases
of skidding wheels are not specially
numerous. In one case a woman lost
her life through riding on the wrong
side of the road. Three out of every five-
recorded cases of collisions with ve-
hicles brought death to the cyclist.
Yet culpable negligence on the part of
riders is almost a thing unknown.
There have been several cases of heat
exhaustion and fatal attacks of syn-
cope but fewer than might have been
expected from the. varying age and con-
dition of the people who ride Ruts
threw several riders and the wander-
ing flock of sheep was not without its
victim. One noticeable fact is that
very few serious mishaps have been en-
tailed by defective or faulty machines.
On the whole while it should be eas-
ily possible to secure a happily smaller
death roll in the future there need be
no alarm as to the consequences of this
form of locomotion since it is probably
the least destructive of human life of
any known. This might take time to
substantiate but it is true. —London

en are more apt to love than men and
that they love with greater passion”
said the physician. "But. nevertheless
if the heart has anything to do with it
the greater love should be that of the
man. For a woman’s heart is not as big
as that in the male breast. Men have
larger hearts. The average heart of a
man weighs from tern to twelve ounces
while the average heart of a woman
weighs two ounces less. Nevertheless
in proportion to the whole weight of
the body the woman's heart is greater
for in the normal woman the heart
weighs 1-149 ns much as all the reSt of
her while the man’s heart is but 1-169
of his total weight.”

OUR TRAMPS.
Tile recorder had two vagrants be-
fore him this morning both of which
he lined. One was an old one-armed
German named Meyer who goes
about the streets reciting a phiful
story about lieiug a railroad man aud
having lost bis arm in a wreck. He
visited a house near the Sunset depot
yesterday and became very insulting
and was arrested by Officer Walther.
The recorder lined him $lO or 30 days.
The other was a welldressi*d man
who gave the name of John Forsyth
to Officer Daniels when arrested and
that of John C. Burton at the station.
He was fined $5 or 15 days.
These migratory visitors are becom-
ing less numerous in the city now
since the ixflice are waging such a
ceaseless and relentless war on them.
Some of them however who visit the
houses iu the residence portion of the
city are very Impertinent. One of
them went to the home of Recorder's
Clerk Hertzberg a day or so ago and
because the dog refused to let him in
at the gate lie rocked the beast with
stones.
