So many bicycllets have been ob- served ecently suffering from clog- ged chains. that a word of advice, which has been given before In this place. may, with pnepriety, be repeat- ed : 011 the chain --nothing is more necessary; but be sure not to have It wet. Each link should be thoroughly lubricated and then the chain should be rubbed dry. No amount of rub- bing, It should be remembered, can remove the olI from the parts between the links where It U needed, and not a particle of oil is required on the ex- terior surface. The drier that is the better. The oil, If exposed. picks up and holds dust and adds greatly to the friction. The name advice applles to all oiling. It so much is put In the ' bearings that some overflows and It Is ; not wiped off, dust will gather at the spot, and, even In the best made bear- ings, some of It will almost certainly work into the halls and make trouble. And even if It does not get so tar, the bunches of dust so accumulated de- tract from the appearance of an other • - wise well groomed ma/thine, and render the cleaning atter a run twice as difficult as it need be. The fact is that more wheels are overolied thaw underolled. "Carrying a canary," Y the "wheelmen" call riding with a dry bearing that screeches, is not half so ' common as a dust buried beaartnir. Of course, of the two the latter 1s pre - !treble, but no rider need have either. 1. N ew York Poet The "Artist-Prlast." Johannes A.

So many bicycllets have been ob- served ecently suffering from clog- ged chains. that a word of advice, which has been given before In this place. may, with pnepriety, be repeat- ed : 011 the chain --nothing is more necessary; but be sure not to have It wet. Each link should be thoroughly lubricated and then the chain should be rubbed dry. No amount of rub- bing, It should be remembered, can remove the olI from the parts between the links where It U needed, and not a particle of oil is required on the ex- terior surface. The drier that is the better. The oil, If exposed. picks up and holds dust and adds greatly to the friction. The name advice applles to all oiling. It so much is put In the ' bearings that some overflows and It Is ; not wiped off, dust will gather at the spot, and, even In the best made bear- ings, some of It will almost certainly work into the halls and make trouble. And even if It does not get so tar, the bunches of dust so accumulated de- tract from the appearance of an other • - wise well groomed ma/thine, and render the cleaning atter a run twice as difficult as it need be. The fact is that more wheels are overolied thaw underolled. "Carrying a canary," Y the "wheelmen" call riding with a dry bearing that screeches, is not half so ' common as a dust buried beaartnir.
