Show Ilua It Cntne to Stay? From all sides cuo hears nothing but questions as to the future of tho pneumatic pneu-matic tire. That theoretically it is perfect per-fect has lieen granted up to the present moment. Xow, a writer in one of the cycling papers gravely remarks that there is a vibration apparent ap-parent when it is ridden over the roughest of rough paving, he having felt j it in his finger ends! while another, at I peat length, discusses the fact that a ! numbness crept over his legs, and acute j pains came on in ie soles of his feet so badly in tho last twenty miles of a hundred hun-dred miles roatl race that he had to rido ; with his insteps on the pedals; he attributes at-tributes this to the vibration produced by rat trap pedals when applied to the ; pneumatic. His explanation for being played out : aud exhausted is really quite ingenious. , Tho most damaging piece of evidence ; against the pneumatic tire, however, is that Mr. J. B. Dunlap, its inventor, is said to lie at work on a new tire somewhat some-what liko a cushion. Pall Mall Gazette, j |
