Two Miles a Minute on a Wheel.

Victor Belanger, of* Worcester, Mass., is the inventor of a one-wheel

cycle for which is Claimed a speed capacity of two miles a minute. The inventor claims that to propel his machine requires from seven to ten times less power than is required on the ordinary bicycle. Indeed,

the difficulty he seems to fear most is a vast excess of power, which will make the machine unmanageable to the ordinary person through its terrible speed. According to Mr. Belanger, thirty pushes a minute on the pedals equal about forty miles an hour.
