lhere can DC no question luNL one
OF the most important parts of bicy-
Gle is the tire. II has 10 bear the

Jog IN contract with destroying ele-
mcots, aud general " receives the least
care frCm the rider The Importance
OF the work IL has TO do was early
recognized by makers Of bicycles how
ever aud they have given much atten-
ton to this important adjunct Of the
wheel.
There are today perhaps, thirty
different sly es Of bicycle tires on the
market all of which vary in detai
As 20 their various merits, theories
are of little value; actual experience
Is the only way to deter mine this
question Unless au article gives sat
Isfaction, demand for il soon ceases
After test Of over S X years. during
which time dou ble-tube and single
tube tire have been marketed, at least
three-fourths Of all the riders in this
country today demand and ride dou-
ble-tube tires
The leading firm in the United
States, and intact in the entire world,
in the manufacture Of double tn bc
tires, is Morgan Wright, Chicago.
Their history is interesting. Tue
first pneumatic tire the rags-and-
glue kind was giving trouble, and
Morgan g. Wright stepped in to Gl a
great public want They furnish "A
tire that could easily be taken from
the rim to be repaired. That was the
priciple requirement in those days,
besides he usual requirements Of
speed, durability and comfort.
That was several years ago. Single
tube tires had been pushed in Europe,
and were failing, and the same effort
was being started in this country
The Morgan 81 Wright double-tube
tire quickly proved its superiority
with the result above stated. The
quick-repair iuner tube, which
is this year a standard feature Of
this firms tires, has made the posi-
tion OF doubie-tube tires practically
invincib!e, by making it quick and
easy for the riders to secure, at the
roadside, a permanent repair--a thing
admittedly impossible in the majority
OF single tube accidents. II

GREENHOUSE PARTLY BURNED.
Willis Dickerman & Sons Plant at
 Morris Cove Destoyed by Fire. z

Willis Dickerman & Sons Plant at
 Morris Cove Destoyed by Fire.
 A large part of the greenhouse of Willis Dickerman & Son on Burr street, Morris Cove, was destroyed by fire Saturday evening. The blaze was discovered about 7:45 o'clock, and for three hours the volunteer fire brigade fought to save the property. The fire originated, it is supposed, from the fur naces by which the building was heat ed. A large number of palms and ferns. which were taken from the Chapel street store on Saturday to the greenhouse, were destroyed.
 There were also a great many plants In the house belonging to persons who had placed them there for the winter. The loss will be about S2,000 and will be total, as there is no insurance upon the property destroyed. It was stated in one of the local papers yesterday morning that the greenhouse had been partially destroyed by fire before. This was found to be mistake, but the greenhouse was partially destroyed by the blizzard in 1SSS MT. Dickerman set a gang of men at work repairing the greenhouse yesterday. They found a number of plants uninjured, which will decrease the loss somewhat The partially destroyed property will be re- built immediately.

VIM. FRANK & co.

Organizing a Local Santa Claus Brigade. To the Editor Of the JOURNAL ND COURIER: As the pastor of a little flock of peo- pie living in a neighborhood where the joy bells of Christmas will only ring with great effort in many homes, if they ring at all--and for one, being a lover of the children, not only those of our own immediate vicinity but all others-I therefore wish to commend for our sakes and others the effort made by local business firm to help give the children of the deserving poor Merry Christmas.
 Last year scores of Sunday schools of every denomination Were aided in providing for the poor children in their several neighborhoods through "The Santa Claus Golden Rule club" under the auspices of F. M Brown & Co.,, who took charge of the matter and de- livered the gifts into the hands of com mittees. The firm, I understand, will do so again this year. They request children who have last Christmas toy, book, etc, well preserved to donate it for the sake of some little unfortunate. Last year the response was good and the help to Sunday schools cannot be measured in words.
 I trust, for the sake of poor children, this year dependent upon mission schools like our own, that the Santa Claus Golden Rule club will respond as generously as last year.
 Certainly with about 15,000 public school children in this city there ought to be at least thousand who will again enrolI themselves as Santa Claus aids and gives each toy.
 As I understand it. each child donat- ing toy for the above cause will re- ceive a beautiful illustrated card entit- ling them to life membership in the Santa Claus Golden Rule club.
 Yours truly,

A HISTORIC PINCH BOWL.

The Gustavus Punch Bowl" which Is to be filled with Rumbo punch at the dinner of the Waldorf" in honor of the expedition against the Swedes in Delaware in 1642, and which will be attended by several New Haven men, who are members of the newly organ ized society, Descendants of Those Who Fought Against the Swedes in 1642," has a most interesting history It is of capacity of ten gallons, of solid silver made in 1884. It was carried to Dutch Guiana in 1710 by Van der Luyp, and brought to this country in 1908 by his grandson. The interior of the bowl is covered with etchings of Dutch naval victories, while the out side is garnished with pictures of the ships which carried the ''Beggars of the Sea" and which made Europe trem- ble at their indomitable courage and bravery The bowl is in an oaken chest made from one of the timbers of Won Tromp's frigate, Zealand" It is now and for many years has been in one of the safe deposit vaults of New York.
