If the design of the engine is good and lubrlcation has been effective, reâ€" grinding becomes necessary probably around 85,000 miles of use. Because of the fact that many users of pleasure cars find their machine of obsolete type during the months or years that pass while 85,000 miles is being acâ€" cumulated, regrinding has not been as universally done with this type of car as has been the caso with the automobile truck whore efficiency and economy rather than style are the imâ€" portant considerations. uumputln obtained in the use of a car of this type by attacking the ALL Heabs I E‘Mm Balb!

At another time the same person site still in a cold room. His body radiâ€" ates some of its heat into the surroundâ€" ing atmosphere, and were it not for the heatâ€"regulating power of the skin his temperature would drop. But the nerves report the fact to the skin, and the small bloodâ€"vessels there begin to contract so that less blood is at the surface to be cooled. The nerves also report to the muscles, and they begin to tremble and shiver, This causes the production of more heat. Delicate persons who make little exâ€" ertion often find cold baths upsetting unless they get a good muscular reacâ€" tion by vigorous. shivering or extra clothing immediately. The healthy athleto, however, takes his cold showâ€" er, hastens the needed cooling of his body, and thus strives to be clean and fAit.

In all, Lord Byng will have traveled about 2,000 miles over westâ€" ern Canada‘s great inlend waterways. The above map shows his route along the Peace, Slave and Mauckenzie rivers. it is a very serious one. Rigid apéc!â€" feations are provided, and a careful inspection is necessary, When the millions of ties used annually is conâ€" sideted, and that each tie has its proâ€" portion of the load to carry, the necâ€" essity for this inspection is apparent. In 1923, the last year fer which figures are available, there wero 14,â€" 764,880 railway ties cut in Canada. These, converted into their equivalent of standing timber, represent 177,177,â€" 960 cuble feet, with a value of $18,â€" 228,547. Railway ties vary in length from 8 to 09 feet, with a thickness of from 6 to 7 inches and a width on top of from 7 to 10 inches, while they vary in grade according to the purpose for which they are to be used. s:mo of the ties are sewed or howed on top, bottom and sides, while others are sawed or hewed on top and bottom only. During recent years the Canadian railways have undertaken preservaâ€" tive treatment of their ties, creosote being large‘y used. There are a numâ€" ber of plants sgituated throughout Canada for this purpose, many milâ€" lions being thus treated anntually, It In Northern Florida there are some places where water, travelling underâ€" ground from higher levels, spouts out with sufficient energy to drive turboâ€" generators. One wonders as ho travels along the railway, what becomes of all the old railway ties that the section gangs are constantly taking out »nd replacâ€" ing with new ones. Occasionally a fire is seen, when these old tios are being burned, but the greater portion of them are used by the railway men for firewood. It is the enormous zum- tity of these ties, however, that are required to keep the railway lines in proper condition, because, with the heavy traing and the high speed with which they travel, it is éssenglal that the roadbed be kept up to ma*imuim efficiency. The provision of the necessary x ply of ties is one of the rrob?m which the railways have to de&l, and The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says:â€" Natural Resources Bulletin.
