autom.atically sent to the different, :
parts that need lubrication. In most, Gas From Straw.
systems this is accomplished by means Farmers are expecting great things
from straw gas., a retort for the mak-
ing of which has been devized by the
Ame•rican Bureau of Chemistry.
One ton of sun-dried wheat straw
yields 10,000 cubic feet, of gas, ten
g-allons of tar, and 625 lb. of carbon
residue which forms. an excellent fuel,
and it is estimated that 300,000' Cubic
feet of straw gas will do all the light-
ing, ecok2ing, and heating of the aver-
age farmhouse for a year. '
Cars have been driven by the gas
of a pump located in the reservoir
which is driven through suitable gear-
ings by the crankshaft.
Oil is pumped from the reservoir to
a pan or trough so that a puddle
forms under each .arm of the crank-
shaft. As the shaft revolves the ends
of the connecting rods dip into the oil,
splash it up and break it into fine
particles until it forms an oily fog.
This fog penetrates to every point and
crevice ,inside of the engine, where it
deposits" and forms a film of oil over
every part. Probably more oil is de-
posited than is needed. The surplus
drains back into the reservoir;which
is the lowest place in the engine. From
here it is' again put into circulation
by the pump.
DISTRIBUTION OP OIL.
In other systems oil carried in the
reservoir is pumped through suitable
piping to the main bearings of the
crank shaft. This shaft is drilled so
oil may enter it at these bearings and
be ca.rried under pressure to the
crankpin bearings. ' In some cases
crankpin bearings are drilled and
pipes carry oil under pressure to the
wristpin hearings. In this system all
tile heavy work bearings are provided
with oil under pressure. The Surplus
oil is thrown of! as the crank revolves
thus supplying lubrication to. other
working parts as in the other system.
These systems need little attention.
The strainer at the oil pump should
be cleaned after about every thousand
miles of travel. Oil in the reservoir
should be replenished occasionally as
it is used up. The supply of' oil in
the, reservoir becomes depleted
through leaks in the joints of the eri-
. gine casting and because oil works by
the pistons into the combustion cham-
bers of the cylinder and is burned ,up.
When oil is burned blue smoke is
emitted from the exhaust, Whenever
there is blue smoke there is always

Waves and Currents.
The difference between a wave and
a current is that a current is a stream
of water moving in the sea, a
wave is merely a movement on the
surface. The water itself does not
advance with the wave (until it
breaks), but the water of the current
actually travels.
