THE BURSTING OF TIRES.
A Tire Well Blown Up in Less Dam
ger than a Flabby One.

1t is no uncommon sight to see some
young man who has been spinning along
on his silent steed suddenly spring from his
saddle, stoop and examine his wheel, and
then look around him with a pitiful, most
discouraged expression on his face. 1t is
the familiar story of a punctured tire. The
rider looks about and then again makes a
closer examination of one of the wheels,
but his disconsolate appearance as he walks
by the head of his faithful steed throughout
the remainder of his journey makes a pic
ture to arouse the most sincere sympathy.
OFTEN, however, the passers-by are startled
by a sharp report as that of a pistol, and in
looking around for the supposed assassin
and his victim behold the Disguised wheel
man dismount and start in the direction of
the nearest bicycle doctor. Many are the
causes of a punetured tire. A bit of broken

the iron steed. The bursting of a tire which
is accompanied by the loud report is the
less common. as scarcely any but a defec-
tive tube will be affected by the strain to
which. they are subjected The careful
rider, like the watchful horseman, sweeps
his path with the eye. and any of the nu-
merous. although insignificant appearing,
objects when may w W SO great an inilu-
fully avoided by him.
II might appear that the rubber tubes
punctured, but such is not the case. The
tires are composed of two tubes. one with

very thin rubber. while the outer is of the
toughest material obtainable, and is much
thicker. Thus. to cause the air to escape.
a hole must be made through both tubes,
such as would be caused by a tack being
inserted. Oftentimes what is known as a
pin p~unctare is made in a tire, and is SO
small that the escane of the air is very
gradual and the rider finds that he is I'M
able to keep his tire blown up, but cannot
discover wherein the trouble lies. The inner
tube is very elastic and expanding with
the high pressure on the inside, fits close
against the outer tube, making II as rigid
as though it were solid rubber. A tire that
is kept well blown up is in less danger of
being punctured than one which is allowed
easily cut when in a relaxed condition. A
good set of tires is said to stand two sea-
is not for them to be in a fairly
good condition at the close Of the third
season.

Miss parnell liz; "a striking woman.
Taller than the average woman, she has
eyes which, though blue and kindly, are
keen and quick withal Her hair is
brown, and dressed plainly. She was at
tired in the p1ainest possible fashion. a
blue straw sailor hat, with the least pos
sible adornment covered her head; a
pink shirt waist, none of the newest in
pattern, accor ding to our American
standards, and a perfectly plain blue

heavy belt OF yellow leather, and she
wore gloves to match the belt. a pair
of heavy walking shoes, with common
sense toes and solid heels, and blue
parasol with crooked handle. complet-
ed the costume. About her throat she
wore a broad band ofsold yellow lace,
and slung over her left arm was a bag
made of tennis netting, such as children
carry their books to and from scnOol III.
Miss Parnell has pleasant smile. and
fine, firm teeth. She halted under the
fine old trees where her distinguished
grandfather, Commodor Stewart, used
to walk. When asked concerning Mrs
Parnells condition she said: There
has been practically no change at all
since my arrival. I got here on, Wednes-
day night, and although she received ex-
cellent care before, i have found the
time pretty well occupied"
Miss Parnell had expected to find her
mother in even worsesaond ition and had
nerved herself for whatever state OF af-
fairs might meet her. Mrs. Parnell rec
|ognizes her perfectly, to all seeming, but
even her presence and questioning has
not been sufficient stimulus to enable the
old lady to give a connected account of
what happened, and Miss Parnell init
mated that there seemed to be no i'm
provement in thatsregard.

Sterling Rayborn was at Paris
yesterday.
Miss Ruby Bivens, of Camden,
visited here this week, the guest of
Miss Blanche Lowry.
Quite a number from Paris are
here this week with the object of
capturing some Of the fnny tribe.
Several from here attended the
children's day services at Pleasant
Ridge last Sunday. The exercises
were a grand success, and every
body had an enjoyable time.
Everybody is looking forward to
children's day, on the 10Th instant,
as a grand and eventful day for Big
Sandy. Remember, everybody is
invited, and don't forget to come
and bring somebody else with you.
