A fair supply of ice would insure bottles of cold water, milk,
ginger-ale, etc, throughout a long day's trip.
LEAK-STOPPER FOR PNEUMATIC TIRES.--This seems to be a very clever and
practical invention.
The bicycle-tape, and the mastic, and the dozen other devices for
mending punctured tires are all very well in their way, but they are not
absolutely reliable.
A punctured tire is a wounded tire, and needs the aid of a bicycle
doctor. All attempts at doing one's own surgery are likely to fail for
the simple reason that we are not experts in the business, and do not
always understand the extent of the damage.
The leak-stopper is merely a bandage to be applied to the wound till
help can be found. It consists of a strap of flexible material, provided
at one end with a buckle and at the other with a pair of tongues.
[Illustration: Leak-Stopper Bandage]
On the inside of the strap is some flexible air-tight material partly
fastened to the strap, and so arranged that it will entirely cover the
lips of the wound.
The edges are covered with adhesive material, and are firmly pressed on
either lip of the wound, drawing it together and covering it with
air-tight material, so that no air can escape.
