“In a one-wheel velocipede, the combination, with the hubs, the hangers _D_, depending from said hubs, and cranks secured to the hubs for revolving the wheel, of the cross-piece _E_, the balance-rod provided with the adjustable foot-rest, and the seat secured to the upper surface of the cross-bar, substantially as described. “In testimony whereof I sign this specification, in the presence of two witnesses, this sixth day of March, 1884. “+Bernerd G. Burlinghausen.+” * * * * * This device works entirely as a manumotor or hand-carriage. It is questionable if any prudent rider would care to be enclosed within this structure if there were many hills to descend. To be sure, if the seat gets fast, he can kick the spokes, as in the case of a squirrel and cage-reel, thus keeping himself upright, but this would be attended with great labor and requisite skill.

Just fills a need long felt by the cyclist. There is a certain action claimed for it, in which pressure of air is used on the treadles which helps to propel the machine; but this is only a secondary element in the mind of the wary cyclist; no sooner will he see this invention than he will grasp the idea of getting keys to it and having it play him a tune, as he speeds on his lonely way. And then, how nice to sit down, unscrew a pedal, remove his treasure, and produce sweet strains of silvery music. A new short method of instruction for playing upon this new combination may go with each cycle sold, such that any rider could soon comprehend. Below find brief of specification. * * * * * “From the lower ends of the fork _C_ extend, in downwardly or backwardly direction, fixed brackets, _C′_, to which are applied closed expansible bellows, _D_, of oblong shape, one at each side of the driving-wheel _A_. “The combination, in a velocipede, with the driving-wheel, of closed bellows supported on fixed brackets of the fork, forked pedal-rods connected at the lower end of the bottom of the bellows, and at the upper end to a transverse oscillating balance-rod. “+R. von Malkowsky.+” [Illustration: W.

Patented June 2, 1885.] “_To all whom it may concern_: “Be it known that I, +William Bevan+, a subject of the Queen of England, residing at London, England, have invented a new and useful Improved Bicycle Safety Attachment for Learners, of which the following is a specification. “If the wheels _B_ be raised from the ground a short distance, considerable swaying of the machine will be possible without its quite tumbling over.
