proprietor of the Bonaparte wooden

advocating his election and tariff re-
form" Coming from a manufacturers

Tseks with Ianpunity.
To the mind of a bicycle enthusiast
the most unpleasant incident of wheel
ing Is the occasional walk home,
through sand or mud. from some dis
tnnt point on country road. owing TO
che puncturing OF one or both of the
tires- Bicycle makers and bicycle rid
efs always have maintained that when
an unobjectionable non-puncturable
tire should be invented wheeling would
become the ideal form OF locomotion.
There is reason 10 believe that New
York man has solved the problem OF
this ideal locomotion. That man Is
Henry G. Dean, who Is graduate Of
Heidelberg, and civil engineer.
Mr.. Dean is q member of Company n.
Seventh regiment. and always has been
interested In athletics, especially wheel
ing. He has been one OF those often
afflicted with punctured tire. I'm
speaking OF his last experience OF the
Kind he said 70 New York Sun man:
1T was one fearfully hot day last
spring. / had started for n long ride
from Astoria. When about is miles
from home my front wheel went down,
the tire punctured clear through
There was nothing left for me TO do
but lug II home. The further / walked
the hotter and madden got. When /
reached home j swore that I'd have a
tire which couldn't be poked full Of
holes, and which. at the same time,
should have all the resiliency OF the
regular tires. Then l went TO work.
The result In that i have rugged up
what know Is tire which cannot be
punctured, and which, believe, has
even more resiliency than the plain rub
her tires"
Mr.. Dean showed his invention. As
the illustration shows, IL is band of
steel plates riveted together. The
plates are of about the thickness OF
heavy manila paper, AID nre made of
the steel used In clock springs. They
are three-quarters OF an inch wide,
Zach plate is segment Of circle
Near the edge OF each plate, at each end
In a hole, sloi-shaped instead of circu'
lar and about one-cighth OF an inch
long. On the opposite edge of the plate
at each end, is perfectly round hole
Overlapping the first plate, about hall
its width, is the second plate. The
round holes of the second plate fit over
the slots of the first and are riyeted
with brass rivets. The slots of the
third plate fit over the holes Of the sec
ond, and are riveted in the same man
rer. The succession of plates continues
until there is length equal to the cir
cumfercnce Of the wheel.
The arrangement OF holes and slots
allows a play between the plates, So
that the computed band of steel car

America Has Made ttut Four. hut fro~
duces the Hest wheels.
The important Inventions which
Americans have given 10 the bicycle
are very few. IL was Frcnchman, or.
rather, two Frenchmen--the Michaux
brothcrs--who invented the principle
of the pedals, which made possible tho
wonderful ground-gaining ability OF
the modern safety. A statue COM
memorating this invention was last
year erected i'm France. An lrishmnn
invented the first scrviccable pncu-
matte tire, and many have initiated his
work and, in some respects. improved
on H.. The pneumatic tire was not less
productive OF speed than the Michaux
invention. America, however, can lay
claim TO the introduction OF the wood
rim, which was first used by an Amer
lean manufacturer of wheels. lie
thought he had n fortune In IL, but the
rim itself was non-pntentable. The
wood rim In one season drove out the
steel rim, and now any machine with
n steel rim il a hack number.
In spite of these facts, however, the
American wheel Is better made, more
durable. specdier and generally more
attractive than those made abroad. and
the export trade In them Is increasing.
This is a tribute 20 the American artisan
and 20 Yankee brains. AS well.
