If they die fighting bravely they believe that they are sure to go to Paradise.

INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.
Many new and interesting patents were shown at the Cycle Show at the Grand Central Palace, New York City.
One of the most ingenious was a new tire. It is called the Hose-Pipe Tire, and seems to be a very sensible and useful kind.
The feature of this tire is that it has a second tube laid flat inside the first one.
This second tube is not inflated, but kept as an emergency tube.
