Even the proud American eagle must
serve as bicycle device A mercenary in
ventor proposes to fasten the noble bird
behind the saddle on women's wheels as u
combination brake and mud guard. The
wings stretch out on each side and protect
the skirts from mud or entanglement In
the spokes of the wheel. They are fastened
TO ths body OF the bird with coiled spring
hinge which allows Of their folding when
not needed. The legs and feet of the bird
are utilized for n combination brake as
we'll as stand for the wheel when rest
ing. The legs make II possible for the
rider TO sit on the wheel when desirable
instead Of dismounting and standing be-
side the wheel.

knickerbockers about their business and
who object 10 the use Of the clamps In
vogue will bo interested In new guard
which Is applied to the pedals and which
will protect garments from the wear and
tear by the chain and sprocket wheel. The
new guard looks like a magnihed egg
beater, and IL built on the same plan and
of the same material. II also resembles
gauzy wings nf gigantic size when the
wheel Is not In use, but Is so hidden by

A French court recently rendered an In.
teresting decision in case brought by the
owner Of q bicycle against the proprietor
of a cafe from which tho riders wheel was
stolen while he was in the place. The
Judge decided for the defendant on the
ground that. although the plaintiff had
notified waiter that he had deposited his
bicycle in tho vestibule, whence it was
stolen, he had not formally consigned it 70
his care. Moreover. although many visit
ors Of the cafe were In the habit of leaving
their bicycles in the yestibule aforomen-
toned, the plaintiff must have been aware
that 10 was open to the street, and oonse-
quently an unsafe repository for the bicy-
Gle, and finally tho sole duty of the master
of such an establishment is TO furnish food
and drink. and he therefore assumed no
responsibility ms TO the safekeeping of bis
customers property unless it was directly
committed TO bis care.
The first duel on wheels occurred not lorg
