An odd cycling freak is to trim n plece of brown paper to fit the lens of the lamp and in it to cut eyes, nose nnd mouth. The effect is certainly startling. It resembles nt n short dis- tance the ilruth's liend that rustic youths curve from turnips and light up with a camille fixed instdr. Ilne can picture the feelings of some nervous person ou sering these terrible feat- hres spring, as it were, out of space, amil bear down on him, momentarily growing larger and lurger.
Many mupleasant experiences and ruffled tempers would be saved :f every rider knew how easy it often is to tanke a lump which goes out burn. There are several reasons why lamps give trouble, but the most common is that the wick gets clogged with balf-dried oil. It is not that part of the wiek which is below the surface of the wil that gets into this state. but tont part which is out of the oil. What is to be done, then, if the Inmp persists in going out and The rider nas no fresh wick to put in? Mmply turn the wiek upside down and at once the defect Is remedied.
Bieyellsts who ride in monddy weath- er will find that the machine will toke no harm from the mud that there is no necessity to have it cleaned immediately, providing the owner takes care to keep the metal work in a greasy condition. Thi:
may be effected by rubbing all the tubing, spokes, rims, etc., with an oily rag during the cleaning process. Take care not to wipe all the oil off, but leave the metal in a greasy state. The double result will follow that the metal will not be liable to rust from the mud and moisture nud the mud will come off reallily when the ma. chine is cleaned. It is also a good plan to smear some vaseline over all the lubrienting holes, so as to render them impervious to damp
