ON THE QUI VIVE.

More bioyoles will be used In Terre Haute this year tban ever before. The bicycle craase, practically, Is epidemic, and the use of the wheel reaches every class, trade and profession. There are eighty-nine different makes of bioyoles represented by Terre Haute firms, and even this remarkable number does not

representall the different wheels In use. A prominent bioyole repairer told Q. V. the other day that last year his firm had repaired 139 different makes of wheels, There are about 200 bicycle factories in this country, so It seems we have less tban half of them represented, here, although agencies are so numerous now that one oan scarcely pass an up town business square without seeing a sign.

There are between 1,600 and 1,800 bioyoles in use in this city already this year, and a well known dealer estimates that before ths season closes this numb«r will be increased to 2,200. Of these between seventy five and one hundred are used by ladies. The number of lady riders is rapidly increasing, and every evening on the paved streets groups of young ladies may b® seen speeding, sometimes with, but generally without escorts. ______

Are the Terre Haute girls who take to the wheel going to adopt bloomers? That's a burnlpg question, and many feminine minds are discussing the matter quite seriously. Q. V. heard the other day that a group of young ladies had invested in bloomers, and were only waiting for the proper occasion to burst upon the public with their new garb. The police authorities have considerately announced that young ladies may wear bloomers here in Terre Haute without fear of the dire consequences that attended such a proceeding in Vic toria, B. O., where the police forbade a I young woman from appearing publicly Jn such garb. The ooly thing heeded fiOW to make blodfiaiHS popular is for somebody to break the ice. But who's going W do itT That's what the girls are asking each other. hopes the coming base ball seaRon will prov® to be a prosperous one for Henry F. Schmidt, chiefly because he is an energetic fellow and has gone about the matter in a business way and deserves to succeed. Where former* managements have, with good cause, solicited •public assistance, he has refused to do

so, and depends on the attendance to make the "wheels go 'round." He has with theassistanceof Manager Schneider —•who ought, like Tommy Atkins, to be "a good 'un"—secured a Btrong team, and the people of Terre Haute should patronize him, liberally. The gate receipts in 1890 in three months were iu the neighborhood of nine thousand dol lars, and the last season we had a club the total attendance was between 40,000 and 43,000 in a little over three months. If the attendance this year is anything like as good, with the new plan of league management, the local club ought to be able to do something a Terre Haute club has never before done, pull through an entire season,

A patrolman dismissed from the police force Is "getting eyen" by filing charges against some other members of that de partment for failure to attend to their business. If every member of the force could be induced to tell all he Knows in this direction, there would be some merry times roundabout here. But, unfortunately for the public service they oan't tell tales out of school.

Q. V.'s old friend Capt. Charley Power has again indulged in his card-writing propensity. He carded the Express one morning this week, going after the man who had the effrontery to "sit down" on the doughty captain. Here are some of the choice expressions used by the captain, referring to the presiding officer who ruled hira out of order: "An individual with an almost unpronounceable name," "a small edition of the Ciar of Russia," "a man who may or may not

?sbe

an American citizen," "this foreign czar." The captain is one of the kind of men that usually have something to say, and It seems to have hurt him considerably when President Wurtzebaoh sat down on him. The latter official can't prevent the captain from writing cards, however, and in the use of "words that I burn" the gentleman with the title is an adept.

Rabbi Lyon doesn't take much stock in the Civic Federation's proposed cru|aade against vice here in Terre Haute.

He thinks the Sunday saloon is not a public nuisance, and no more offensive than the Sunday candy store or barber shop he does not think gambling is a publio nuisance either, and he is heartily in favor of Sunday base ball. Hts views are rather radical it would seem, coming from one of his profession. There area number of Terre Haute minister# who are no doubt aching for a "sorap" over the subject of enforcing the law, and we shall see whetner Ribbi Lyons' remarks will precipitate one.

A company has been formed in this city to purchase sixty feet of the Blake property on Main street just east of Sixth, on whloh to ereot a five-story

building for a big department store V. heard the other day that a price per foot has been agreed upon, and that the only point in dispute is the number of feet the Blake estate will sell. The oom pany wants sixty feet, while the heirs desire to sell only fifty-three. The oompany is willing to pay six hundred dollas a foot for the property, but wants the full sixty feet on whloh to ereot a modern building. It is said that three local firms are figuring on the oocupanoy of the building, and if the parties can only agree on the number of feet to be disposed of, Terre Haute will have anew business block that "w ill be altogether creditable.

alarm to be sent on down to the city of Orizaba, of 12.0W or 14,000 inhabitants^ The other plaoes of considerable size are San Andres and San Francisco, each with 2,000 or 3,000 inhabitants. The former is at an elevation of 8,000 feet and the latter 8,600 feet Orizaba is lower. The English railway runs to Orizaba San Franclsoo. and San Andres and Chalohioomula Is connected by a tram-^ way. There could be ro seri oils "thro? ^Soug ger to the people of these plaoes asi there would be ample warning to enable them to find refuge which would not be difficult to do. The number of people outside of these towns is small. There area few villages but the population is meagre. There are no scattered farmers as we have in this oountry. The agriculturists live in villages. There are no evidences at the orater of eruptions of lava within historic times. The Indians, half-breeds and Spaniards have no tradition.of an eruption and no fear of one. Indeed they give no thought to the volcanic formation, of the mountain. Dr. Soovell describes the.crater as ocoupying-the whole of the summit. It is somewhat elliptical in form, measuring about 800 feet from north to aou£b by 600 feet froth east to wes^v depth of from 400 to 600 feet. The rim is nearly horizontal, the difference in level between the highest and lowest points being auout 80 feet. The peak, is a little steeper on the south tban on the north, the slope being between 80 and 86 degrees on the south, inoreasing toward the summit. Inside the orater, for about 80 or 40 feet, the slope is about the same as the outside, then about 200 feet of vertical walls, then a sharp talus to the oenter. The orater can exist but a comparatively short time longer, geologically speaking, because a rapid disintegration of the walls is goieg on as a result of the hot sunshine by day and the intense eold by night* This has the effect of cutting down the rim and filling up the bottom with fragments from the orumbling walls. The ruggedness of the slope and the fact of aorater would seem*to indicate that the, peak 1* of recent formation. The mountain has a hot top, at least great areas of the rim of the crater are hot, giving off steam and gases, and large quantities of rooky material at the summit are produots of this fumarole aotlon.
