recent number of the Scientific
American contained an illustration Of a
bicycle tire patented by a Kansas doc
tor. which will not readily puncture.
and which will not collapse when pune
turcd The pattern is Il hose pipe and
the material rubber. or rubber and fab
nc. The tire is much thicker at its
tread than at its side and inner surface,
the increased thickness forming n cush-
ion preventing the puncturing of the
tire by sharp-pointed rubbish. On the
inner surface of the tire are lugs, prefer
ably made of rubber. and the lugs are con-
nectcd by springs of such length that.
should the air escape from the tire, the
springs would hold it distended and enable
the tire to be used almost as well Debated
as In f1ated.
