Many attempts have been made to re-
place pneumatic tires with spring ones. AS
every bicyclist knows, there is always the
peril OF puncture in a pneumatic tire. This
peril may be minimized by the use of port
able tools TO effect repairs with. but e
pairing wheel on the road is never pleas
ure. What is called the Senechal spring
wheel, as seen in the picture, explains itself.
But the idea Of springs has always been
deemed fanclful. Machines into which they
are introduced are never reliable, and usual
ly manifest decided eccentricity in action.
II is interesting 10 note that the bicycle
craze is confined by no means to our own
country. Ii RACES furiously in England,
and it Is estimated that no less than 10000
machines will be manufactured there dur
ing 1896 The only nation which has Lot
gone quite daft on the subject is Russia.
For some reason, perhaps owing to the in
hospitable climate, the subjects of the car
have not yet taken wildly TO the wheel
But Germany is as bicyclemad as our
selves, and France is in the procession.
These facts explain the extraordinary zeal
with which inventors apply themselves 10
bicycle improvements. All over the world
the brains are busy, and the result is that
amazing series of improvements" 10
which the spectator is treated at the con-
stantly increasing wheel shows.
