There Is a report cmirremit In New York ,
accordimmg to time Tnihumme , that one of the

Is going to make chmainiess whcel almost

iemmml color to time rumor , mmmost Important
of all being time fact that ( lila comnpammy line
bougimt time patents for the device. Many
oxperiemmced riders were favorably Immupreesed
with time chalniess wheel whichL was aim the
market a few seasons ago. Time cimaimi Is.
after time tire , the mcst troublesome part
of a bicycle. Seine place it at the top for
possibilitIes of annoyance. Nuts come unscrewed -
screwed , rivets break , ti's chaIn wears too
loose amid Ia always getting dusty. It needs
comistamit care , for It easily becomes "kinky , "
and when not in perfect condition , Increases
the friction. greatly. It. is true that the
chaIn runs more easily than did the old
bevel gear , but its disadvantages mIght over-
balamico timis consideratIon It time cimaimuless
mmiechmanlsm were improved. Time difference
in weight is not considerable , as the rod is
Inclosed In a light aiunmlnuimi case.
TIme pneumnatlc tire's wonderful success imas
led to the apphicatiomi of several other pneu-
matle features to time bicycle. The immeummmatic
saddle has bcmm on time mnarlcct samoa time ,
and now a wheel is constructed wIth a
"pnmmmatic hub , " Time principle Imuvolved is
iii time application of an air chamber of rub-
her bets cemi time. wheel of time niachimie and
time frammmo. Time air chamber Is provided with
a valve. A well known rubber company moan-
ufaettmres time cluamumber. amid It Is claimmued that
' 73 ier cent of pure Para gout enters into
his makeup. This , with the fabric , gives a
receptacle which sviil rcest ! a pressure of

that a hub of thIs character wIlL render time
