the several collateral questions raised since

undertook to defend the beer garden and
the bicycle girl found therein. Following
are extracts from recent letters:.

A Horse Shoe of Rubber
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
If the latest phase Of modern ingenuity
proves success, there will be no more
heaving trampling and the rhythmic click
ing Of the hoofs of four-footed steeds
There has been invented new horse shoe
"a steel frame about which Is built a
cushion Of vulcanized rubber The adj
vantage claimed for it is that as the rub
Der instead of the metal strikes the ground
there is no conclusion or jar, and the
horses .hoof. leg and shoulder are saved
Thirty-three per cent of the diseases of
horses, 1t has been said. are maladies of
the foot. and there can be little question
but that even the best shoeing, as It is
done now. by burning the hoof. is in a
measure Injurious. This new horse shoe
Is to be put on cold. and the hoof simply
pared or cut to fit. 1t is nailed on in the
ordinary way. An additional advantage of
the rubber sole Is that 1t will give the horse
firmer hold upon wet or treacherous
pavements. and. by securing him a good
purchase, enable him to go up or come
down steep hills with a heavy load far
more easily than at present.
