The objections v'. incumbrance and wear on tires are said by it. Another point In its favor doe? not apply io front wheel, but bo? on crank axle, when the weight and are. It consists of a steel coil tha; goes abolii crank axle, inside bottom bracket. One of the coil is faatened inetde rank hanger and the free end is caught by a light rteel chain which runs up through the lower tube, Igh the head tube and ihe handle-bar to the Inside the grip is a sU-el Jacket, provided fi groove worm, arid by el.ghtly twisting the mndle the wheel may be checked as gradual ai 1 When brought to a full stop a two-hun? dred-pound man can stand on the pedals without aide io budge it.

Nothing of the devio? can seen on the wheel, and only its effect is ap? parent. others n'w features which have not been seen at other shows are devices for alleged puacture proof tires. Tho makers In respect have -pent much time and money in development of DOW tr: of them is called self-healing, and If possesses half the virtues claimed for it It has the tire question for good and nil. There expert who have examined the tire, ar.d who say that it bears a suspicious resemblance to a tire put on the market about two years ago hut which failed to w.thstand the test. In this tire It ia claimed that as soon as a puncture is met With the aperture will close up of Its own account as soon as made without loss of air.

There la a coating of soft rubber the tire. Of course, a little of the inflation is lost at each puncture, but dozen punctures could be sus? tained bifore the tire would have to be Inflated again. The maker of tho tire la enthusiastic, and he says that he controls still another puncture-proof tire, tad that with the two be has a practical monopoly. The adhesive tire was shown to an admiring crowd last eight, the attendrira using an ordinary shoe maker's awl to puncture with At pun there would be a s.lght puff of ai-, and then would close aa if by magic. lining does not harden with exposure and then the tire will atund the tesi of time.

ANOTHER PECULIAR TIRE Another tire which attracted much attention wa? exhibited near the Hanson Place entrance.

Another new tire is ca.led the "So Puncture." t.re ha? an inside sheath made of laminated atee! of wutch springs riveted together.

Except for Its color it looks more like a 1 tan than anything e.se The metal is remarkably flexible, uni can be twisted about easily as a piece of heavy cloth.
