Where two rough surfaces are in slidâ€" ing contact, the minute projections lock into each other and are broken off. This causes wear and if the wear is too rapid considerable heat is genâ€" erated.

NEED FOR LUBRICATION. ()n the other hand, if on the new motor the surfaces are kept well lubricated and are operated at a comâ€" paratively slow speed, the wearingâ€"in process consists of slowly knocking off the microscopic high points until the metal is polished to a mirrorâ€"like fm-} ish. When in this condition it may easily be kept lubricated, and further wear takes place very slowly. The process is similar to that of smoothing a board by rubbing it with fine sandpaper. Go slowly during these first thousand miles. Run your engine carefully. Perhaps in the process you will acquire a habit of operating your car with a maximum of safety and good judgment. Of amaranth lie By Eve‘s nightingales; e wake and whisper awhile But, the day gone by, lence and sleep like fields To prevent this excessive wear oil is used as a lubricant. The oil forms a fi‘lm between the piston and the cylinâ€" der wal‘s and keeps the small â€"proâ€" jections on the surface of the metals from coming into ciose contact.

AlU That‘s Past. â€"Walter do la Mare Most of the railway companies have wells near such stations specially for this purpose, and the spectacle of this strange religious rite being carried out with unfailing regularity is one which causes Europeans to marvel at such zeal. _ Men, women and children are generâ€" aliy seen bathing in open wells, tanks, or on seashores with dhotles on,. A dhoty is a piece of white cloth about six to eight yards long, wrapped round the body. After the bath they first wrap a dry dhoty round them and let the wet one slip from underneath, so that they neither expose their body nor let the dry cloth get wet. Even when travelling they manage to have their daily bath at stations where the trains halt for about twenty minutes. . _ It is probably news to many that highâ€"caste Hindus take their bathe with their clothes on! And yet it is a fact. Their religion compels them to bave a bath daily. They will neither touch nor eat anything before having their bath. It is considered indecent to bathe naked, even within their own houses and a rich zemindar or a poor Burman obeys the same rule. The interesting item of information that the Tibetan Lamas now visiting in England indulge in but one wash a year suggests a state of primeval savagery to our Western ideas of what is right and proper. But in various parts of the world strange customs prevail which to the practical British mind would be classed as sheer madâ€" ness. Bathing in Their Clothes.

At the moment of condensation of the water vapour to the liquid state, great numbers of extremely small drops are formed close together. As they fall they merge, and thus what we call raindrops are formed. The size of the drop when it reaches the earth depends upon the height from which it has fallen. | The Size of Rain.

The blocks of milk and cream are tastily wrapped in oiled paper looking for all the world like ice cream. One feature about the milk business here is that so long as it remains frozen there is no deterioration in the quanâ€" tity or quality. The milkman here doesn‘t worry about spilling his milk, says a Nome despatch. He calls from hous»> to house and delivers a block of frozen reindeer milk or cream equal to a pint or a quart. A white cord frozen into the block of milk serves as a handle to facilitate delivering. ‘ Frozen Milk Delivered on Strings in Alaska A bachelor President has no flowers sent him, they point out, and since M.

Doumergue, Bachelor, Causes Florists to Grieve Through coâ€"operation with existing child welfare organizations and with an Advisory Committee composed of biologists, hyglenists, educationalists and psychologists it is hoped to evolve a scheme which will be of practical use to parents, teachers, and all who have to do with child life in the Doâ€" minion. Mr. Hardie comes to it very thorâ€" oughly equipped. He has been for fifâ€" teen years headmaster of his own school for boys in London, England, he was for some time chairman of the Committee of Conference of Educaâ€" tional Associations in Britain, where he was associated with Sir Michael Sadler, President of the Conference, and he was Chairman of the London Branch of Private Schools Association. Mr. Hardie‘s task will be to assist this organization to evolve a national acheme for the instruction of all childâ€" ren and adolescents in Canada, in the sclence of life, and the meaning of social hygiene. As this necessitates the education of parents as well as children it will require very careful expert handling. Mr. A. D.

He says deaf persons, whose inner ears are destroyed, and young babies, whose inner ears are not yet developed, never are seasick.

Mr. Paletteâ€""Will you allow me to paint that picturesque old building back of your house?" Shipwreck is a sure cure for seaâ€" sickness, says Dr. Lehmann, a wellâ€" known physician, who hn/contribut.yd an article to a Berlin clinical weekly on "Mal de Mer," in which he records that there are many well substantiatâ€" ed cases where the extreme nervous shock brought about by the necessity of saving one‘s self has wiped out all traces of seasickness among passenâ€" ger who had been "invalids" prior to the announcement that the boat they were on was ibout to go down. Shipwreck is Declared a Cure for Seasickness On Nov. 14, 1920, an offering was taken in a great number of churches @ll through the country and it was deâ€" cided to erect on the property in Lens, a church to cost 300,000 francs. Howâ€" ever, the building was delayed for several years on account of unforeâ€" |seen difficulties. Not only was the soil unsettled by the underlying coa! pits having been flooded, but a mine of dynamite was found under the form er foundations. Then the Government survey and valuations for "war dam ages" had to be waited for, and lastly ,t.he dificulty of obtaining building maâ€" terial and labor in an area when more than 700,000 houses needed rebuilding further delayed proceedings. At last however, every dificulty was sur mounted; now the finishing touches ‘lro being put to the building in view of its inauguration on Whitâ€"monday. Contributions Still Received. Any persons or churche$ wisking either to make a final contribution toâ€" ward the furniture of the church or to give some distinctive article in memâ€" ory of a soldier relative are invitej to correspond with the Treagurer or the Secretary of the committee. The following suggestions for such contri butions have been made: hymnâ€"board, announcementâ€"board, Bible desk for communion table, bymn books, har monium, or any other church furnishâ€" ings consistent with the form of worâ€" ship of the Reformed Church of France. A bronze tablet designed and manuâ€" factured by Henry Girks & Sons is now exhibited in the show window of this firm in Montreal. In a few days it will be on its way to France, to be erected inside the "Canadian Vimy Memorial Church" in Lens (Pasdeâ€" Calais). â€" The ~inauguration of the ‘chureh is planned to take place on June 1, when a delegation from the | committee in Canada, as well as Caneâ€" | dian military and civilian oficials will lropro:ent the many thousands of cittâ€" ; zens who have contribated to this memorial, and solemnly han‘d the comâ€" { pleted building to theâ€" Pedcration of Protestant Churches in France. | Ruin of Sanctuaries. _ Immediately after the Armistice ‘ men of all creeds realized to what an |extent France had suffered, »ot only | in loss of its manhood and in its maâ€" 1 terial wealth, but in the ruin of its reâ€" | ligious and historical | sanctuaries iNoble cathedrals like Rheims, Arras and Soissons, historical landmarks like Calvin‘s birtbplace in Noyon, city churches and village shrines, both | Catholic and Protestani, had been either hopelassly damaged or ahsoluteâ€" ly annihilated. Also when an appeal came from France to the Protostants , of Canada for help in rebuilding the nearest Huguenot church to the faâ€" mous Vimy Ridge, it seemet to ansâ€" wer providentially the wish in many hearts to help in this reconstruction and at the same time to erect on the soil sanctified by the blood of our solâ€" diers a memorial to their sacrifice. In May, 1920, it was decided that the headquarters of the movement would be in Montreal and ascommittee comâ€" posed of Anglicans, Baptists, Congreâ€" gationalists, Methodists and Presbyâ€" terians was formed with the following executive: Honorary President, Majorâ€" General Sir John Carson, C.B.; Chairâ€" man, Rev.
