CATERPILLAR LACE VElLS. A Square Yard \Veighs Only Four and 0nd Half Grains. A way has been discovered by a bot- ' 'anist to make a veil far lighter and more delicate than any other fabric in the world. His idea is ingeniously sim- ple, for he employs caterpillars to do the w01k for him. Having made a paste of the leaves of the plant on wuich the cateIpillaI he uses feeds, he spreads it thinly 011 a slab of stone. Then, with a camel. 'hair brush dipped in oil, he draws the pattern he wishes the insects to leave open. The stone is then placed in a slanting position, and a number of cat erpillars placed at the lower side. A particular species which spins a very Strong web is chosen. The creatures commence at the bottom and work their way up, eating and spinning their way to the top, carefully avoiding the 0in part, but devouring all the rest. I The lightness of these veils is amaz- ing. One measuring 261/2 inches by 17 inches weighs a grain and a half. A square yard weighs 41/2 grains, whilst the same amount of the finest sill; gauze weighs 137 grains—more that thirty times as much. Wickwire—Mudge has an India rub- ber imagination.

The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as a distinct improvement in bicycle tire construction. It has the following ad- vantages: While punctures in it can be re. paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in- jections, as well as in any other single-tube tire, it can be pennanentl} repaired by using the quick-repair strip inside the tire. See out No. 1. By injecting M. & W. quick-repaix cement through the puncture, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb. as in out No. 2, the repai1 No.2 strip inside' 1s picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in cut No.3. ~ The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a sieve.” Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. ' ' ASk any bicycle dealer whether other tires last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan ,& Wright guarantee means. Morgan & Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the 'Morgan & Wright free repair shops, located in the principal cities. N. B. -—-When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a. tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it, may damage it considerably. He, ’I‘HE EVENING GAZETTE 9.
