more awaiting baptism. More will still
unite and be baptized with these. 1 had

The application of rubber to wheel
tires has proved great boon to bicy-
clists, and the increase in this branch
of industry is remarkable. There are
100, 900 bicycles made every year in
this country and 40. 600 more are i'm
ported. As all these have tires of the
best rubber it can be seen that good
percentage of the worlds supply is alb
sorbed in this way. Each tire weighs
on an average between three and four
pounds, and this together with renew
ais involves yearly consumption of
not far from 1000, 900 pounds. The
solid tire was first used, but the cush-
ion and the pneumatic are now the
popular forms. Each of these, how
ever is being further modified and
improved and the comfort of bicycle
riding is being daily increased. The
cushion tire is not liable to puncture
and takes the jar well. but its weak
point at present is its liability to crack
at the sides in the interior. The pneu-
matte consists of rubber tube jacketed
in stout canvas sack, which prevents
its being burst from overinfation and
other accidents. The whole is covered
With larger incasing tube of rubber.
