Modern' Science Enables Liner *to Run to Schedule ,Like Railway Train. How does a liner fincrher way across the sea?

As a matter of fact, though the re- sponsibility rests with him, the actual work is done largely by other people. To get an Insight into how the thing Is done one must pay a visit O. the navigating -bridge of an Atlantic liner. Anybody privileged to do that, gets veritable peep into Wonderland. RaPged there is such a bewildering variety of apparatus, :and everything is so utterly different from whet one had pictured it to be. Dials of One sent or another are so fiutheroas that the place •looks more like a clockmaker's shop than part of a ship.

People -who are looking for a parking -place often. release the brakes of parked cars and push them forward or backward to make -room for their own. One night, on coming from the theatre, I found my car close up to the curb and other cars scarcely a foot away front and back.' I figured that if I could get the rear wheel six inches from the curb,' I could wriggle out of the tight place, so I put my jack under the differential house in the centre of the rear axle, jacked the car up soy'-' em -al inches, and pushed it sideways. This gave me. the desired Clearance between wheel and curb, but to make' slue, I 'repeated the operation. This gave me. enough opportunity to go backward and 'forward and soon I was 'on illy, way home. Othereaise I should have had to wait for the owners of other cars to get theirs out first, The dame principle of jacking up the rear endnand pushing it around' helped me later to turn my car around on a lie dangerous narrow road when I saw X could go no farther. --D. S - WASHING THE CAE. A good way to use a sponge in washing a car is to make a hole par- tially through the critre of the sponge add in this hole intent the, hose nozzle. Tern on the water and it will be forced through the sponge in all di- rections. This will keep the sponge quite 'free from embedded dirt and dust Lecanse it is automatically clean- ed from the inside. In using a sponge in this manner, it caa either be held in place witbethe hand or tied in place with a string. After the dirt and dust have -been sponged from the car, rinse with clear water and later -dry with a large cha- rnels skin. This will give an unspotted A large sponge is very useful in Washing :the car and it is best if sep- arate sponges are used—one for the body,'and one for the wheels and chassis. The wheels and chassis carry more dust and grit and thereas danger of scratching the body finish if a sponge is used for scrubbing this `por- tion of the car after it has been used oh the wheels and chassis. large that a book could easly With . a mere euurne.ration• of their names. .

Most of Mar globe is illte that, for that is the bottom of the sea,' as pic- tueed by modern science, writes Ray- mond J. Brown. In round numbers the earth's sur- face consists of 57,000,000 square miles, of land and 140,000,000 square miles of water. These figures, however, give-, but a vague. idea of the real immensity of the vast, mysterious sea,. The are -rage depth of the sea is five thumbs greater than the average height of land above sea lev`el over the Whole earth, the average- clepthe „of the sea being more thail two and one -halt miles, while the average height of land is halt a nulls. If Mount Everest, tall- est mountain on earth, five and one- half miles high, were dropped into one or the' deepest parts of the ocean, its summit would be submerged by more than halt a mile. In fact, it all the land could be leveled off flush with the sea, and, all the debris duniped in the Water, the sea would scarcely be changed at all. There still would be an ccOsam one and three-quarters miles deep.
