4 NEW TIRE SCHEME,

Rubber Balls Outside the Rim Is One of
 the Latest Wrinkles
 Ball bearings on bicycles are to be followed by ball tires if the plan now being tried by an inventor is successful. The idea is the latest in development of the many improvements that have been suggested on the pneumatic tire. Some years ago an Englishman brought out a tire which had the interior filled with hollow rubber balls. but the plan did not work we'll. The new plan is to place the balls outside the rim, so that they will take the place of tubing.
 The new tire is an arrangement of in- dependently detachable hollow rubber balls, held in position by channeled aluminium rim. The balls when in- flated will stand pressure of 25 pounds to the square inch. The outer surface touches the ground, and as the wheel revolves three of the balls are always in contact with the surface and bear the weight of the rider.
 "The great advantage of the ball tire, '" said the inventor, "is that if one is puDctured the buoyancy of the others will prevent the tire collapsing. One- third of the balls might be punctured without causing bicyclist to end the trip, for the tire would still be buoyant enough to support his weight When necessary, a used up ball may be taken out and new one inserted with but a few minutes loss of time.

TO BE PASTED BONNET
A Cycling Paper Gives Advice to Fair
 Riders of the Wheel.

If
 Riders of the Wheel.
 Remember that your knowledge of cycling is for use and not for show. IL you have ridden a wheel to feed your vanity, you have simply wasted your time.
 Do not fancy that George Saud g tronsers were the chief sign of her gen jus, and hence bloomers are essential to your cycling.
 Do not fancy that every man who takes you riding and is polite to you has an idea, near or remote, of making you his wife.
 Do not fancy that because mock mod esty is immodest therefore immodesty is modesty, nd your costume must be one you could not wear elsewhere than on the wheel.
 Do Tot despise the dressmaker as & part of the fabric of cycling.
 Think it over long and seriously be fore you decide against anything your more experienced friends may tell you about a wheel or its riding.
 Do not let yourself be worried because of possible accidents which may never come. Do not get in n panic and do nor rush things. Spend your time in prepa- ration, not in worry or dreaming or watching.
 Do not tell men that you are welded to the wheel and never intend to marry We all know that every woman and ey- cry man on tylis earth intends to marry It is only a question of time and right pportunity.-Wheel.

THE WOMAN ON A WHEEL

Mrs. Carlisle. wife of Secretary Car lisle, recently bought handsome new bicycle for her own use.
 The Countess of Warwick wears an entirely white cycling costume while riding, and her mount is also entirely white.
 Belgian telephone girls have a four ishing wheel club. The name of the or ,anization is not known. but the Hello club wouldn't be bad one.
 Kate Field asks. "How many women ride bicycle?" Really, that is an easy one, Katie. One, Katie, only one, ex- cept in the case of tandems and the va rious tuplets, retorts The Wheel
 Parisian wheeling circles are excited over the rumor that the cardinal arch bishop has declared that he will refuse to administer the holy sacrament to any woman appearing upon her bicycle in :ational dress.
 Bicycle snatcEing is new form of crime developed in Paris The wife f Forain, the caricaturist, was riding some distance ahead of her husband near the Porte Maillot recently when two men stopped Ter, pulled her off her bicycle and were making off with the machine when the husband caught up with them and had them arrested.

wfsn had never broken your heart. am very sorry i' "Oh, said the father. "don't mention 1t. It won't make any difference now. It is all over. I forgive you, my son." And he kissed him and kissed him and kissed him. Today offer you the pardon of the gospel-full pardon, free pardon. do not care what your crime has been.

Good Advice to Novices.

You are going to buy your first wheel. you are novice, and therefore, of course. you know it all, but still the following may confirm you in ideas you already have upon the subject:
 Get the best wheel if yon can; if you cannot afford this. get the second hest in price, and get it. as you would get the first, from a reputable manufactur- CT, who can make good all defects ana is willing to do so. That's all. Simple, you say? Yes, but simple as it is it en- compasses all there is in buying & wheel, and much that know-it-alls nev- CT seem to comprehend. Wheel.
