The bicycle habit was dead as a craze long before automo- biles became common. As a road vehi- cle, especially in the country, the bicycle hold its own indefinitely. It h been helped by the road-building which the automobile has done so much to stimulate and extend. As the bicycle has found its place, so the automobile will presently find its place. These machines cannot long be sold in considerable numbers except to persons who can afford them. But the price of the machines has a wide range and the number of Americans who can afford one kind or another of them is very large. We do not necd at this mo- ment to figure out how large it is, be the automobile makers will find out presently anyhow. Nobody but a professional prophet who is paid by the day and collects his wages every night should care to rush into prophecy about the future of acro- planes. No doubt they have a future, but it would look bigger if necks were sold by the dozen and broken bones wer: prompter to mend.

Automobiles are vellously useful and pleasant, but devour Aeroplanes and but they are costly, de- structive and destructible. Legs are still irly popular. Though slow and subject to deterioration they look cheap com pared with other forms of transporia tion, But travel by trolley is cheaper than leg-travel. We predict increased popularity for trolley cars and steadiness in the demand for legs.
