TO SUPPRESS BICYCLE THIEVES

The German who devised the spring
steel thorn which, concealed under the
saddle, was designed to discourage cy-
Gle thieves, has contributed another
invention of the same sort. 1t consists
of an attachment, partly fixed on the
saddle, partly on the saddle
pin, which, when the bicycle is
ridden by another than the owner, pro-
duces quite an explosion, the pressure
bringing two points in contact, the
lower one acting as hammer and
causing the discharge of the cartridge.
