in steering wheel impelled by the tiny
necessary power. Those who have ridden the
wheels to which the motor has been attached
say that when the highest speed is attained
the sense OF exhilaration which comes to the
rider is far greater than which falls to his

knows, the faster he goes the more enjoyable

The reason the inventors give for going to
London to bring out their invention is the
fact that the tendency in America is inimical
to the motorcycle The majority of American
wheelmen, they declare, prefer to be their
own motors, and so they made up their minds
to test the invention in England and If it

than the diameter Of the chain when -eoiled

it into circular form about one inch wider
than the top Of the can. Then cut the edges
of the gauze an inch in Depth bend 1t down
