An incident which caused no end of amusement to two of a party of three small boys occurred nt one of the many places in Napier where free air is obtainable for the inflation of pneumatic tires. All three boys, the possessors of gush-bicycles, decided that a little air would improve their tires, and for this purpose rode to a free air station. As so often happens with boys, an argument ensued as Io who should have the honour of, replenishing his supply first, and ns usual the most domineering of tlie trio acquired that honour. With pride of place he leisurely unscrewed the cup of the valve, attached the tube and pressed the lever. From the events immediately following it appeared that his judgment was nt fault, for there was a loud explosion and the fabric was cast asunder in a thousand fragments.
