The automobile engine derives‘ its power from heat. A charge of gasoline, mixed with air, is taken into the cylâ€" inder of the engine in a comparativeâ€" ly cool state. POWER FOR DRIVING. Thus power is derived for driving the machine. However, the excessive temperature, which runs up to about 8,000 Fahrenheit, heats the working In the cylinder it is compressed and ignited. As it burns the temperature is greatly increased and the pressure in that cylinder increases in proporâ€" tion to the increase in the temperaâ€" ture. parts of the engineâ€"that is, the pisâ€" tons and cylindersâ€"to such a degree that unless some of the heat is dissiâ€" pated it would be impossible to mainâ€" tain a film of oil between these workâ€" Ing parts. Consequently they would bind or stick and the engine would not run. The metal parts forming the comâ€" bustion chamber also would get so hot that the incoming charge of fuel would be ignited when contracting with them. If the engine could run at all under this condition considerâ€" able power would be lost. It is necessary, therefore, to carry off enouch heat to keep the working parts at a temperature that will perâ€" mit proper lubrication and insure conâ€" trol of the ignition. On this account every automobile is provided with a trol of every â€" cooling Two engine are in saystem the &IF, W eylind eratio many . ders, 1 area / these i engine The Or wilting A leafâ€"is it a finger As I move pest, dum} A Kick,.

In order to operate at its greatest efficiency the engine should be rather warm when running, because whatâ€" ever heat is carried off is not turned into power. If the engine is overâ€" cooled its power is decreased. To care for this matter a car may be provided with a visible thermometer in its radiator and with shutters, by means of which the amount of air cireulation through the radiator can be conâ€" trolled. A modification of the waterâ€"cooling system is the "thermoâ€"siphon" system in which no pump is used. In this system the radiator is made larger, the water jackets surrounding the cylinders are of greater capacity and the pipes connecting the two are largâ€" er in diameter. This system depends for its operations upon the principles that cold water is heavier than hot and therefore, the water as it is heated in the water jackets rises, and as it is cooled in the radiator, falls, all of which tends to keep it in circulation. pump takes the water that has been heated at the cylinders and sends it to the radiator. Here it travels through many small passages which are surrounded by air spaces. Conâ€" sequently, there is a large area of surface with which air can come in contact with this water and a fan is usually employed to keep the air in rapid circulation. Much of the heat is, therefore, extracted from the water and it is possible to return comparaâ€" tively cool water to the cylinders to pick up more heat. In this fashion the cooling process is accomplished. A car may be equipped with a therâ€" mostat in the water system, which automatically opens or closes the shutters as the engine gets too hot or too cold. Or a thermostat may be used which operates a valve controlâ€" ling the amount of water or the speed of the water that flows to the water jacket. An advantage of this system les in the fact that the speed of cireulaâ€" tion is proportionate to the heat abâ€" sorbed from the engine. It, thereâ€" fore, tends to keep the engine at a more even temperature under all conâ€" ditions than can be accomplished through the use of a pump. A disâ€" advantage lies in the liability to an easy stoppage, because there is no great force to keep the water in cirâ€" culation. also havoe their labor union, and their labor dues, like every other trade. Theso copics are distributed among the various district headquarters of the metropolis. What sort of news does the "Bogâ€" gars‘ Journal" contain?

But now an enterprising American sailor is making a profitable living by retrieving this coal from the ocean bed and selling it. He bought a boat and fitted a speâ€" clal boom to the mainmast. At the end of the boom is a huge oneâ€"ton "orangeâ€" peel" bucket. This type of bucket has four gigantic fingers, which force themselves through the coal and then close together when drawn up. Coal is apparently unharmed by imâ€" merston in sea water, and, in fact, it seems to burn wore brightly than orâ€" dinary coal. Such a spot is Newport, in Narraâ€" gansett Bay, Mass. The bay, being exâ€" posed, gives little shelter to small shtpping. Having discovered the spot where a barge has sunk, this ingenious man lets down his bucket and draws up the coal a ton at a time until hic;S)lds are full. Coal is one of the countless things that are lost at sea, especially near ports. And a port that is poorly shelâ€" tered from storms and wind is often the burying ground of many coal barges. Frequently convoys of coal barges, bound from Long Island to Newport, get separated, and one or more are wrecked in the bay. Music often makes an appeal to children of a kind that older people cannot feel at all. Only recently a girl of ten or eleven years old, the daughter of a famous cartoonist, who had been through her first course with the classics, as a reward for her indusâ€" try was presented with a new piece of music, the back outside sheet of which was entirely unprinted; a beautiful white sheet of paper. After a while her silence and apparent ignorâ€" ing of the new music attracted attenâ€" tion. Instead of being at the piano she was sitting at a table and, looking over her shoulder, her governess disâ€" covered the white covering sheet now full of heads of all kinds sketched in a few lines and bearing under each of them the name of some composer: Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Bach, Menâ€" delssohn, and so on. And, although they were far from being portraits, the character of the music of each of them was admirably presented. She had learnt more about the men themâ€" selves from their music than she wou‘ld have done from a photograph. Carry a piece of tough canvas in your tool box.

Hunting with a camera brings the hunter into more intimate contact with nature than hunting with a gun. Getting a good picture of a living wild animal requires so much more skill than killing it with a bullet that it is presumptuous to regard heads or pelts as of equal rank &s sporting trophies with photographs of animals in their native wilds.

Tobacco, when smoked, releases a certain amount of halfâ€"consumed proâ€" duct in the form of smoke. Cigar smoke, when seen between the eyo and the sun, no longer re flects, but shows in its trug color as a sort of dark brown. If the smoke is taken into the mouth it cools, and the little particles join inâ€" to larger ones, so that they no longer catch the blue waves only but the whole light, and so appéar white or coloriess, Most birds are restless when a change in the weather is likely. Guineaâ€"fowls and peacocks shriek, parâ€" rots whistle more shrilly than usual, and pigeons return to their homes when rain is expected. Gulls are disâ€" turbed and utter mournful cries when a storm is at hand. Chloroform _ evaporates rapidly ; therefore, a bottle containing it should be kept tightly corked and placed upâ€" side down in a can or box to prevent the escape of rising fumes and the overturning of the bottle. With very good tobacco, either as cigar, cigarette, or in a pipe, the parâ€" ticles of this smoke are inconceivably tiny, and thorefore they catch only the shorter waveâ€"lengths of light. These wayvelengths are blue, so it follows that the smoke of a good cigar, as seen in bright light, reflects a bluish color. Inferior tobaccos, too, give off larger particles of smoke, which also fail to catch the blue waves only. An old rhyme tells us that fowls roll in the sand when rain is at hand, and many country folk get out their wetâ€"weather gamments when they see their hens gathering together and trimming their feathers. When ducks are very busy on the ponds, fiying backwards and forwards and splashâ€" ing large quantities of water over their backs, it may be taken for grantâ€" ed that rain is near. Next to Russia and the United States, Canada has the largest forest resources in the world. Care is taken to preserve the timber supply by aeroâ€" plane, scouting, wireless telography, portable telephones and power pumps, replanting, prevention of pests, forâ€" est product laboratories, â€"stricter legislation, and Dominion and provinâ€" clal reserves. ; When a skylark soars very high the weather is likely to remain fine, and if swallows in the evening are seen chasing insects in the heavens rather than close to the ground the same conâ€" clusion may be drawn.

Perhaps you have heard the ow very common remark that in thousands and tens of thousands of cases members of city families treat their father‘s house as little more than a boardingâ€"house. Such a thing as family life is no longer aimed at by such people; even under conditions the most favorable, family life is mainâ€" tained with the greatest difficulty. There are a thousand reasons for this. They are separated during all the working hours; when the evening meal is finished, there is an excuse for being out again. It is the need of fresh air, or the temptation to seek places of amusement, or it is frequentâ€" ing the farâ€"toofrequent social event. They have been &o fittle with their parents even as children, that neither father or mother has gained proper authority over them; having ceased to be children, they go out without conâ€" sulting their parents‘ wishes. The goodâ€"natured mother hurrying herself that supper may be waiting the moâ€" ment they return from work, knowing full well that just as quickly as the working clothes can be changed for something more presentable, they will« be off for the remainder of the evenâ€" ing, is a picture sad to contemplate, but so terribly common as to no longâ€" er horrify nor even surprise anyone. Much sadder still, and not less com mon, is the other story of a mother watching the late hours go by slowly, and unable to sleep because that boy is not yet in. It is past midnight and she h@ars every step on the sidewalk, because she dares to hope that surely this is he at last. Night after night the experience is repeated, but neither her wishes, her commands, nor her tears make any change in his conduct. your dcorâ€"step If ever you open to look for me, or for another. I shall take only what is my own, and never when you know; It is the music I hear through your strong, dark éoor that I want. â€"â€"Florence G. Jenney. "Babies cry for the same reason as young lambs cry," says a wellâ€"known doctor; "they want their mothers." In cities, also, conditions of existâ€" ence very often make home life imâ€" possible. In the struggle to get along, the fami#ly are obliged to rent rooms or keep boarders. Privacy is done away with. The home is more or less & public house. With strangers alâ€" ways among them, parents cannot correct or control their children. As It is the music I hear through your strong, dark door that I want; Not your fire; not your bread. I shall not touch your beil, or be on A HMard Lock to Pick. The late John Scribner, a member of the New York bar a generation ago, was totally ba‘ld. Speaking to Joseph H. Choate one day about the approachâ€" ing marriage of one of theâ€" Vanderbilts to a foreign nobleman, he remarked, "It would be absurd to give a Vander bilt a costly gift. I should like to find something not intrinsically valuable, but interesting because it is rare," "Nothing easier, John," Mr. Choate replied. "Just send her a lock of your hair." The youngest French senator, M. Brugnier, just elected for the Gard Department, only reached the miniâ€" mum age liinit, 40, two months ago. It was a common reminder of a great bishop that, while all kinds of societies come into existence around us, God Himself had founded only iwo â€"His church and the family. Next to His establishment of the Christian Church comes His great work of inâ€" stituting the Christian home. No other truth is more generally accepted than this. All classes and conditions acknowledge the necessity of home training. No one hesitates to say that, without a home influence, schools and colleges are almost powerlkess for Mrs. William A.

The Listener. QPEN LETTERS TO A FARMER By Rev. M. V. Kelly, C.8.B.« (Continued from last week) |__Now, my dear farmer friend, is not lthh something altogether foreign to | your notion of & home. The poorest | cottage in a cuntry place assures | privacy. Moreover, it is never without !surwundtnn in which the young may ‘ move in freedom and safety. Usually , the family are together at work and ']play; their amusements are rarely |abmd ; the conscientious father or mother always know of their where | abouts. They assemble for prayer, no ‘less than for meals. Their worldly ‘interest week days, as well as their |Sundty churchâ€"going, are in common. lAre you ready to give up all these with the prospect of trying to mainâ€" I tain a home and family life in the city? We should not judge of a mai'l merit by his good qualities, but by the use he can make of them. "I hear Marie is married. Did she find #he ideal she has been looking for for years?" the city becomes larger, the space posâ€" sible for each family becomes less; there is no ground either before or beâ€" hind the house; children cannot alâ€" ways be imprisoned; if they have spent the day in a school or shop or ofice, it is cruelty to close them up at home during the remaining hours; there is nothing left but the street. There their recreation must be taken with all kinds of company. At the pre sent day the house is giving place to the flat. In a tenement, six or eight stories high, the family takes a suite of rooms. These and the use of a stairway leading to the street are positively all they can call their own. Other families, God knows from where and with what reputation, are above and below and across the passage from them. The very conditions bring it about that they spend in their quarâ€" ters only the #ime given to eating and sleeping. How is home training to be carried on, How is family life posâ€" sible? Do not think the picture overâ€" drawn. If you have never been in New York, for example, it has probâ€" ably not occurred to you that there are no residences there With the exâ€" ception of a few hundred wealthy families, the entire population of three or four millions live in flats, Do you think young people growing up in such circumstances are likely to be as inâ€" terested in their home, as affectionate to one another, or dutiful to their parâ€" ents, as watchful over their conduct, as mindful of God and their own soul, as regular in their prayers, as issiduâ€" ous in the uses of their time, as select in their company, as you would wish to have them? "No. She‘s looking around harder than ever now." Perhaps you are going to answer: "Should I decide to move, I shall choose a smaller city. where houses and grounds are always available." What guarantee does that give your children? Will they live and die in that small <ity? Will they be allowed to live there? Because of the posiâ€" tion they may fill, a transfer elsewhere is always a likely prospect. Your own children may escape a New York city flat; can you save your grandchildren from it?

There I was allowed to enter the Native Vilâ€" lage, which is closed to the general 'nubllc. 1 thought at first that I was paying a visit to some very enlightenâ€" ed natives, for the way to the various inktitutions was pointed out by neat English sign boards. However, a naâ€" tive explained to me through an interâ€" preter that none of them knew what the boards were for, but they thought | they looked very pretty. Have you ever watched a robin on the lawn, and wondered what he did with all the insects and worms he picked up? The ro>in eats at cortain seasons of the year about double its weight in 'psects and worms every day. His dinner hour is sontinuous, commencing at sunrise and not finishâ€" ing until after sunset; he works long hours, digging and picking, to proâ€" vide food for his family. Apart from its benefit to man as a savior of his crops, what is more interesting than to watch the wild birds as they go from place to place, from tree to tree, ginging or chirping meanwhile? The birds give their protertive service to man without charge â€"they ask no nay except to be let alone. And the farmâ€" er is wise who will let his gun rust out behind the kitchen door befo*s he turns it upon his best friendsâ€" the birds. * etands a golden flagstafl surmounted by a gilded cock. From the top of the staff, a strip of creamâ€"colored oloz is suspended by a cord. This should really be replaced by a replica of a serpent, which has not yet afrâ€" rived. Every Burmese village possesses one of these poles, which are used as The snake charmer proceeded to give me a demonstration. In his naâ€" tive country he is hired by a harassed landlord to get rid of snakes in the same way as a rat poisoner is engaged in England. Armed only with a basâ€" ket and his peculiar reed pipe, he sets forth into the long grass. As the snakes leave their lairs and glide to wands the music, the snake charmer seizes them and puts them into the basket. Perhaps twenty or thirty may be placed in one basket. Magic! "At the end of the day," concluded the Tibetan snake charmer, opening a basket into which he had previously placed three formidable looking rep tiles, "all happen like this." The basket was empty. "Eat each other," explained the charmer â€" politely. "All fight until a refuge by people who believe they are being attackd by evil spirits, says an English writer. It is quite a comâ€" mon sight in Burma to see a crowd of trembling natives huddled round the base of the villageâ€"pole, The farmer, as well as the city resiâ€" dent, is commencing to appreciate what the birds are doing for him, and is less antagonistic to them. in <the olden days every farmer had a gun awaiting the arrival of the birds, and many of them were shot down while doing the work which the farmer could not doâ€"saving his food supply, Those who have reason to be spe Clally frightened of an angry spook swarm as high up the pole as they can climb and remain clinging in this unâ€" comfortable position all night. It has been said that but for the birds man would soon starve to death, as insects multiply so rapidly that they would early overrun the earth and devour everything edible. Birds are the natural enemiss of insects, and as they have voracious appetites, they devour a tremendous quantity of man‘s worst enemies. How the Snake Charmer Works. In most Oriental countries the enake is looked upon with a mixture of fear and veneration. Thus, the Tibetan snake charmer, who lives close by, inâ€" formed me that if he were to kill a snake his power over these animals would be gone for ever. . "But," he added, with a twinkle in his eye, "this does not mean that I cannot arâ€" range for their death." The snake charmer turned his back for a moment and miraculously proâ€" duced the three reptiles. I noticed that they have adopted one valuable European invention. Every door was securely padiocked. One native, in fact, who had no door to his house, had taken the precaution to nail a padlock to the doorâ€"post, no doubt as a charm against burglars. "Snakes no kill at Wembley," he announced with a provoking smile. "Too expensive!" Just outside the Burma Hall is a carved wood building with seven terâ€" raced roofs, which houses an image of Buddha, the national god. You can tell that this is the house of a king, because only royalty may have seven roofs above their heads.
