BUG PUNCTURES.
Bicycle Bug Operates Wheels at
Evanston, Ill.

Bicycle Bug Operates on Wheels at
Evanston. Ill.
Evanston, ILL.,, is now presenting to
science the latest freak in bugs-the
bicycle bug" This hornet-iike In
sect looks like a caricature OF a New
Jersey mosquito. On a body little
more than an inch long it supports a
pair OF tentacles four inches long, with
which it works havoc with the rubber
tires Of the wheels. The bug bores
into the rubber until the escaping air
frightens it away. The first wheelman
to suffer was Peter Arndt. He found
one of the tires fiat, while on the other
one was the first bicycle bug" that
has yet been captured. He took his
prize to Witt Bros repair shop. where
it soon drew a crowd OF curious spec
tators. Before the afternoon had pass
ed number of Chicago wheelmen told
the same story OF the strange bug. Pro-
fessor William A. Locy, of the North
western University biological labora-
tories, called the bug an ichneumon. It
is not common in this country. Its
usual place Of burying its tentacles
is in the bark of a tree, laying eggs
through them. Professor Locy said
that perhaps the bug mistook the soft
rubber for the pulp on the trees.-En-
