INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.

If any of our boys and girls have found their bicycle saddles as
uncomfortable as your editor has found his, they will be delighted to
learn that there is to be had a sensible as well as most comfortable
saddle. The pleasure of riding your wheel for miles without feeling your
saddle can only be appreciated by those who happen to have a saddle
which fits; the great trouble is that very few people fit the average
saddle; and as the saddle cannot be adjusted, perfect comfort is not
obtainable. With this new saddle the case is different, for it can be
adjusted to fit a large or small person exactly. It also has a
contrivance which permits the parts to move up and down so that there is
no friction whatever. Our attention was called to it by one of the
officers of the navy, who has proved himself an expert in wheel
contrivances, and a careful test bears out all of his statements. The
saddle is well made and inexpensive ($3.50).
