Old Bicycle Tires.
That the second-hand bicycle, or ita
tire, has its uses is evident from the
| fact that for some time ingenious per-
sons have used the older inner tubes
as water or ice bags. The tube is out
| off at the valve and the long section is
filled as may be desired for heat or
{eold. In order fo avoid the weight of
| pressure at one end of the tabe, rib-
| bons or tapes are tied around the tube
| at intervals, suggesting a string of
| sausages. As a hot-water bag the ar-
| rangement is most admirable. If one
{requires small bags the tubes can he
