The bicycle eye is the latest disease
that has become known among the
cyclers of the scorching" class.
The scorcher" who humps himself,
with spinal column elevated and nose
down at the handle bars, naturally

who sits straight in his saddle. In or
der to accomplish this feat severe
strain is placed upon the optic nerves,
and an unnatural condition Of the eye
ensues. Experts claim that it takes
about two years to develop a case of
bicycle eye, and the disease is rapidly

for several days for the Waukegan road
race, and the prospects are good for a
large entry list. There will be several
riders from Racine, Kenosha and Mil
waukee, as well as from Chicago,
which furnishes some of the speediest
ones, and there is no reason why the
race should not discount that of last
year by many per cent. In getting
through the country for a hundred
miles around Chicago a Waukegan
