"This incident is typical of these Arabs. We saw often caravan loads of dates or merchandise dumped by the roadside and left for several days without guard. The Arabs had heard of good grazing in some valley and had taken their camels away. leaving their loads at some spot along the trail. And no one would think of molesting or stealing the dates or merchandise, although many other Arabs might pass along the game route during tho time of A. - of the owners." ttt In In the "man, behind Muscat, related to tho writer the following story of tho honesty of the Arabs In this puthonstvrly corner of Arabia..

Suppose the front wheels were placed in a perfectly perpendicular position. It is my to see that con- siderable leverage would then be en. erted on the steering knuckle pins. This would make for weak construc- tion and would also cause a big re- sistance to the turning movement that is Incident to the steering. To overc0mo these faults the front wheels are given what is termed undergather. By this is meant the distance between them at the point where they touch the ground is less than at their tops. A When he was eight years old, Verdi had not yet shown many signs ot the xenine which he ya: to develop later. He had. however. a epinet upon which he was fond of picking out odd notee and fragments ot melody. One day he istruek two notes at once and than a Ethird, which eounded very pleasant. be. ing. in tact, the ordinary common ichord. The next day he tried to do the lame again. but could not find the lrUht key. At this he got so Angry Ithat he picked up a hammer that was ',lrimr try and hogan to emaeh the in- 'strument to pieces. Fortunately, the 'hoy's father wee near and reenter! the spinal with a sharp Mow on the held which his eon remembered for your! iut/ywt"o. What impressed him later ' still more was the kindness ot a neigh- Fbor who repaired the instrument and iwho wrote in the inside of it: "Thig " do gratis in consideration of the good disposition shown by the boy, Giuseppe lVerdi. in learning to play this instru- :ment. which amply compensates me [for my trouble." WHEELS ALWAYS POINT AHEAD. In addition to this foregather and undergather, the steering knuckle pins are given a slight rake so as to produce a castor effect to the front wheels. This rake consists in placing the steering knuckle pins so that they lean backward. The result of this engineering project when steering is that the centre of turning of the steering knuckle is a little ahead of the point of contact where the tire touches the road. This is done so that the drag incident to pushing the wheel along the road is back of the centre of turning. Tho result is that the wheels will always point directly forward unless inte-fered with. So, if a control rod beco mes loosened, the tendency of the car is to go straight ahead. This is all to the good and often prevents accidents. As a result the weight of the ve- hicle bears directly on a line with the steering knuckle pins and no lever- age is exerted. This undergather would result in excessive wear on the tires if both wheels were pointed straight tthead-that is, set parallel. To avoid this unnecessary wear the wheels are given what is called fore. gather, which means that they are slightly closer together at the front edge than at the rear. While this dlfreronee is only about three-eighth: of an inch, it is very important that the front wheels toe in that much. Of course this does not apply to the rear wheels, which in practically all cases are exactly parallel to each other.

A. B. C. The Island of Mystery. Easter Island, in the Southern Pty. teitte, is the most mysterious spot in the world. In spite ot years ot research and study it remains a mystery. Aside from a few trees which have been planted there the island has not a tree or large shrub. Tho entire land is covered with hugh stone images erect- ed by a people ot whom nothing is known. What the images represent who made them and how, long ago they were erected no one'knows. The imgea are crude and ve’ry much alike, probably some gods; or dBvllis-a11 mak- ‘ing a. mystery ot which the world limowa nothing.’ Reports of great loss of life and vast destruction are being received follow. ing the serious earth tremors in the central island of Honsniu, Japan.
