Rubber tree tapping by a series of small borers set in a circle, the in- vention of an English expert in the Belgian Congo, has proven a more productive method than the cus- tomary vertical incision system. Scientists have advanced the theory that where the coal of Al- aska is permanently frozen to depths of hundreds of feet it was concealed in some previous age and the following vegetation prevented it thawing. For detecting leaks in 'under- ground water pipes an instrument has been invented consisting chiefly of a rod to be thrust into the groyhd to pick up the sound and a tele- phone receiver with which it can be heard. A tarliamentary committee that investigated found that the produe- tion of all of 'London's electric pow- er in a few central stations would save 6,000,000 tons of coal a year and greatly lessen the smoke evil. For ventilating in places where blasting is being done there has been invented a varnished canvas pipe which has the advantage of be- ing practically proof against dam- age from blasts as it collapses if struck. Instruments installed by scient- ists when a huge reservoir was built in New South Wales have recorded earthquake movements, dislocations and earth tides @ue to. the weight of .30,000,000,000 cubic feet of water. The discovery 'of a partly electri- cal and partly chemical process for the production of nitrogen fertilis- ers from relatively inexpensive and easily obtained materials is claimed by a Brown university professor.

"Apply this to you car and you will note that by doubling the spe the energy is increased four times. | Triple your speed and tHe violence of the road shocks deliver a blow to your tires the force of which is in- creased nine times While an increase of speed greatly multiplies the force of the road shocks, the direction of the blow is also changed. In driving slowly over 'a slight obstruction or depres- sion the force of the blow is down- ward, due to the dead weight of the caryand the shock is received in a yer- tical direction, which is easily /ab- sorbed by the cushion of air and the springs on the car without injury to either. : Jy speeding up the car the force of the blow from a road obstruction or irregularity has changed its direction from vertical, straight up and down, to a horizontal force, as the weight of the car not only has a downward thrust on the obstacle but a forward one as well. The cushioning effect of springs is not used, hence they do not absorb this horizontal blow, which is aimed directly at the axle; therefore it is a dead blow on the tire which overtaxes its cushioning effeet and stretches its inner carcass constructions to such a degree inward that the inner ply of cords or fabrics is strained or broken and later develops into a blowout. The length of 'tiene 'for a blowout tu de. velop depends on the force. of the blow, which in turn is governed by the speed of the car when the blow was first received. Thus yow will note that the collid- ing force of an automobile is gov- erned absolutely by the speed. iH you should drive your automobile off the roof of your house, which we will say is about forty feet' above the ground. what would be the effect? Horrible, you say: Quite right. The force of the impact when the car hit the ground would be equal to its striking or collision force of being driven at a speed of thirty-five miles an hour, : A drop of 163 feet is equal to a force delivered to a car when travel ling at a rate of seventy mile san hour. By doubling the speed you in- crease the force of the blow fourfold. 3 I Drain Oil From Crank Case. "The owner &f a good motor car ought to drain the oil from the crank case at least every four weeks," says an automobile sales manager, It will frequently be found that the oil has been diluted with gasoline which has got past the piston and into the oil. This destroys its lubrication qualities. During the summer season it is ade visable to use a somewhat heavier oil than in the winter. It is also. well in the hot season to run the carburetor with as thin a mixture as possible." When draining the water system of the car it is well to make certain that na water remains in the pipes and packets, by rocking the front of the car. This will throw the water ont of the bends and pockets. The ma- jority of thermosyphon Saoling Sys~ tema drain off easily enough, but in the pump system it is necessary to use care. It is a good plan in drain- ing off the water to let it run into some receptacle, a large can or pail, so that it can be used again. The reason is that in all water there is a certain proportion of foreign matter that forms deposits on the cylinder jackets and radiator.
