Safety First.
Strictly speaking, there can be said
*o be no such thing as an accident.
Carelessness is the cause or nearly
every automobile mishap or fatality.
A man may be careful enough in other
things yet a most reckless man when
he gets behind the wheel of his own
car. The desire to avail himself of
the speed of the engine ho is operat-
ing or the wish to save time may be
the cause of a serious misadventure.
"To save time Is to lengthen life" le
• a lend business slogan, but it doesn't
alta lye apply in the operation of
motor cars.

Hints for Motorists.
Leaking Floats --An excellent way
to locate suspected leaks in the car
bureter float is to immerse the part
in hot water. In this way any gas-
oline in the interior will be vaporized
and will force its way out of the
hole, which may be located by watch-
ing for the bubbles to rise. The float
should, of course, be removed from
the water the instant the bubbles
cease arising.
Missing Cylinder—Many times a
troublesome skip in a cylinder is due
to an unsuspected leak in high ten-
sion wire. When hunting for such
trouble go over the wires carefully,
raising them slightly from any place
where there might be a leak. When
round the place must be covered with
tape or a new wire installed,
Overeoming Weak Starting—When
the starting motor for any reason
lacks power to turn over the crank-
shaft it may be strengthened by
coupling on another storage battery,
connecting it in multiple so as not
to increase the voltage. If the con-
ducting wires are of sufficient size
from the battery to the motor there
will be a considerable gain in power
output.
Repairing Gas Line --Gasoline lines
sometimes leak because of chafing
against the edge of frame channels
or other parts. An easy way to rem-
edy this is by wrapping soft wire
tightly about the tubing, winding .it
for a small distance each side of the
leak and then going over the wire
with solder. This will make an effec-
tive and permanent repair and will
also prevent chafing at that particular
point.
herosene Removes Valve Stem Car-
bon.—A very simple way of cleaning
valve stems which have carbon de-
posits is to inject a little kerosene in
the air valve of a earbureter while
the engine is running. In this way a
little of the kerosene finds its way
down the valve stens and softens and
washes off the carbon. It is an ex-
cellent idea to do this at least once
a month,

Singing Sands.
An interesting attempt is made by a
writer In, "Science" to explain the
singing sands of Lake Michigan. These
extend along its eastern shore from
Gary, at the southera extremity, to
Mackinac, at the northern, with com-
paratively few breaks or interrup-
tions. Throughout this, region the
sands near the water's edge, in dry
weather, emit a peculiar but definite
and unmistakable sound when the
foot of the pedestrian pushes through
them in an abrafsive way. This un-
usual sound is produced not only by
the leather -shod foot, bat is emitted
also if the bare foot or hand 1s stuck
through the grains or if a stick is
trailed, boy -fashion, behind.
Thoreau, in "The Journal," said it
was like the sound made by rubbing
wet glass with your finger or by wax-
ing a table. It was a squeaking sound,
as of one particle rubbing against an-
other,
"My hypothesis, briefly stated, le
Chis," says a writer in "Sabena" The
sand grains on the lower beach and
as far as the upper limit of tha_storm
beach are bathed periodically by the
waters of the lake, which contain vari-
ous salts, including calcium and mag-
nesium bicarbonates. This water dries
on the grains of sand, coating the sur-
faces with an extremely thin film of
salts, including calcium and magnes-
ium carbonates. This film is of such
a nature as to create considerable fric-
tion when rubbed, and thus when the
grains are brought iuto contact with
various surfaces a sound is emitted.
One may compare the action of the
film of dried salts on the sand grains
with the action of rosin on the violin
bow.
"The beach sand is, of course, the
same sand which later goes to form
the dunes when transported by the
wind, but during this transportation,
due to the abrasive action of grain
against grain, much of the salt film
is rubbed off and carried on by the
wind in the same manner that oley
dust is, to be deposited in quiet places,
as on the forest floor beyond. After
deposition in blowouts• or on. dunes,
the grains are subjected from time to
time to the bleaching action of rain
water, and this completes the removal
of calcium and magnesium carbonates
(in. the form of bicarbonates and of
the other salts) se that the original
sand grain surface is restored, or, to
speak metaphorically, the sands lose
their singing voice. Such is the hy-
pothesis."
His Not to Reason Why.
A. dear old gentleman noticed a la-
borer walking along a railway train
and diligently tapping the wheels,
Having nothing better to do, the old
gentleman approached and asked:
"How many years have you been
working for this railway, my man?"
"Thirty-eight, eir," replied the labor-
er, still continuing his work.
"I suppose you have had many
varied experiences in your time—
plenty of change of occupation, I ex-
pect?"
"No, air, I've always 'ad this same
job. I've tapped the wheels of trains
for eight -and -thirty years, air."
"A long time, my man, a very long
time, end, if 1 may say so, it shows a
steady character. And by the way—
what is the reason for tapping the
wheels? Why do you do it?"
The man stood up, scratched his
head and said: "I'm darned if I
know."

We shall, in all probability, see this
year the construction of gigantic ah'-
shipe capable of carrying between 100
and 200 passengers in non-stop flights
acrose the Atlantic. Otte such ship
has already been designed by Henri
Julliott, the veteran French airship
engineer,
So far as heavier-than-air machines
are concerned, the remarkable thing
is that it will not be merely one type,
but several, that will fly successfully
with 100 passengers this year.
Gianni Capron!, one of tete pioneers
of the giant airplane, gives details of
his giant triplane that has just been
completed in Italy. This huge machine
made its initial test flight a month ago,
and it can easily carry 100 passengers.
This monster of the air itself weighs
twelve tons and can lift another
twelve' tons. It is powered with eight
Liberty meters, giving it an aggregate
horsepower of 8,200,
Apart from its tremendous dimen-
sions, the new Caproni airplane is re-
markable in its construction. It is
apparently the first successful "tan-
dem machine," It is. equipped with
three sets of wings, not merely above
each other, but placed tandem fashion•
Each of these set of wings is placed
at a definite distance behind the pre-
ceding set.
In such an arrangement the maxi-
mum lifting capacity is obtained and
lateral stability greatly improved.
Moreover, it is not necessary to equip
the remarkable airplane with the usual
tail surfaces, as the tandem wings
take over the functions of the tail.
Gigantic Flying Boat.
Out of England there comes news
of a flying boat of such proportions
that it staggers the imagination. Its
boat body will be equipped as luxu-
riously as any transatlantic steamer.
In the same country two mammoth
land airplanes are being constructed,
each capable of carrying 100 passen-
gees in extended flight at high speed.
Germany has just completed the
most amazing airplane over conceived
by man. It is a giant monoplane con-
structed entirely of metal and is the
largest of its type in the world, Built
primarily for war purposes, it has
none of the, characteristics of the
newer commercial machines, although
.
1t alaltic in every
respect from any
otter aircraft. It is shortly to be turn.
ed over to the Allies under the terms
of the cn•mietice.
13111 to return to the mammoth flying
boat noir being built 111 Burrow, in
England, by Messrs. Vickers, Ltd., de-
signers of the fa pens Vickers•Vimy
bomber, which made the !Met non -:+tap
flight across the Atlantic Ocean and
the flr4t flight from England to Aus-
tralia. It Is a biplane, and when com-
pleted its wings will nattenrc 300 feet
from tip to tip, C'omplu'e this with the
'United States navy's famous NC air-
planee, the first aircraft to fly across
the Atlantic., whose wings were 120
feet acl'041. Moreover, the wings of
the now Vickers monster will bo 27
feet wide, wider than some of the new
sporting airplane wings are long.
Tho other dimensions of this mtun-
lnoth flying craft are equally astound-
ing, It will be, driven through the air
by eight engines, aggregating 4,800
horsepower. There are hundreds of
oceangoing ships with less power than
this, and when we further coaelder the
fact that man has flown in an airplane
equipped with a 9 -horsepower meter,
the figures given above assume their
' real importance.
The engines aro Rolls-Foyce "Con -
dare," the new 600'horsepower engine
recently produced by the famous Bri-
tislt concern. They are placed an the
flying boat in pairs, one pair in each
of the four engine nacelles. In this
manner each pair is installed "end to
end," therefore each engine nacelle
has a tractor and a pusher propellor.
• The giant flying boat is 200 feet
long and 42 feet high, or, in other
words, the hull is equal in length to a
city block. The framework of the
boat and of the planes themselves is
constructed entirely of duralumin—at
alloy as light as aluminum, but much
stronger. The planking of the hull is
made of "Consuta," a special form of
plywood developed by the famous
yacht builders, Messrs. Saunders,
Ready to Bomb Berlin.
The boat itself Inas two decks and
is completely furnished for passenger
carrying. he it there are built sixteen
two -berth cabins and a dining -room.
The settees in the latter can, in case
'of emergency, be transformed to Pro-
vide sleeping accommodation for thir-
teen more passengers, thus bringing
the total of passengers to forty-five.
With that number the huge flying boat
has a cruising radius in the alr of
1,400 statute miles at a. maximum fly-
ing speed of 110 miles an hour. It is
estimated, however, that the giant ma-
chine will be able to awry its full load

This big airplane le of the land type,
but its fuselage is divided Into two

teen first-class passengers. The pilot's
compartment, accentual datIng two
pilots and an engineer, is also placed
on this deal:.
The lower deck coutaine a navigat-
ing tooln and a wireless cabin, The

strumellts and has a window in the
floor to permit unrestricted vision of
the ground below. Ilehind this wire-
less cabin there Is a small hold for
baggage, and back of that a c0mpart-
' meat for four second -clues passengers.
It is the first airplane designed for
commercial work to carry different
classes of peasengers.
A Commercial Success.
The largest Americaa airplane at
present is the Lawson Airliner, which
has. a capacity for twenty-six passen-
gers in an inclosed cabin. This air-
plane, however, while not approaching
in size some of the new European de-
velopments., ie by far the simplest all
around efficient "Ship" yet produced
for commercial Purposes. It has de-
monstrated its utility by successfully
flying from Milwaukee to New York
and return over unorganized territory.
The largest semi-rigid ever built
has a capacity of only one million
cubic feet. This was built by the
Italians, who have become premniuent
in this field.
The coming attempt of the Italian
government .to cross the South Atlan-
tic in an airship of this type is arous-
ing a great deal of interest in this
kind of aircraft. This big ship has
just been completed and is expected
to make its trials early in May, and to
undertake the trip some time in Juuo.
Most Isolated Farm in
the World.
Death Valley, in East California, the
most horrible desert on the face of the
earth, source of weird mysteries and
innumerable tragedies—has yielded
to the band of man to make a garden
therein.
Furnace Creek ranch, as the Death
Valley farm is known, enjoys many
distinctions. Its s0xt eftve acres of
oultiveted land constitutes the most
isolated farm in t'ho world, producing
food in the midst of a desert inferno,
where temperature and atmospheric
pressure are almcet beyond the limits
of plant and animal endurance.
Obviously the introducion of an
abundant water supply was• the prime
requisite to make the reach possible.
This is obtained from two large
springs, far back in the Funeral Moun-
tains, which pour their streams upon
the burned-aut Death Valley soil
through two great aqueducts, one of
steel and one of masonry.
White teen cannot live Long in the
withering heat. Consequently all the
work about the ranch is done by In-
dfans of the Pluto and Shoshone tribes
under the direction of an educated
foreman. The average life of a white
man in Death Valley is very short.
Three white foremen employed on the
ranch Tested two summers each, and
perished during the third. Two others
went insane, and attempted to flee out
of the valley on foot. Neither of them
lived to get out or the maze of Funeral
Mountain canons, The present fore-
man has survived seven summers, and
is soon entering upon his eighth. He
attributes his ability to resist the beat
to his superb constitution, temperate
habits, and hygenic living. He has at-
tained a degree of comfort by con-
structing a largo fart driven by water

power. During; the hottest days of
the summer he makes his bed in front
of the tan after sprinkling the floor
and wetting his blankets. For all
work Is that done at night, when the
temperature over the valley floor des-
cends to about 120 degrees.
In addition to being a sort of miracle
farm, Furnace Creek much is also a
traveller's relief station, serving the
barren blazon wastes of Death Valley
and the Funeral Mountain country
much the sante es St. Bernard hospice
does the high Alps of Switzerland. Its
very existence has saved the life of
many a lost traveller or prospector
who staggered within its boundaries
with parched throat and speechless,
swollen tongue. Assistance under
such circumstances is never refused.
If the victim of the desert has money
with which to pay for his rescue, well
and good, it not, he receives 1t gratis.
On a hill just back 03 the ranch are a
number of mounds—the graves of
thirst -tortured souls who tottered luno
the ranch too late to be saved by
water.

Who Invented Movies?
Although the first motion picture
was made iu the summer of 1890, it
had its real birth a century earlier
when Plateau, a Frenchman, 00n-
strueted an optical toy called the
"Phenakfatiecope."
The flrat serious attempt to secure a
record of movement by photography
was made in 1878 by Edward 11fuy-
bridge. At this time wet plates of
great rapidity were used, and by ar-
ranging a series of cameras along the
side of a race track, and having
strings tied to the shutters which the
horse 'mulct automatically operate by
stepping on them while passing down
the track, a series of clear photo-
graphs were obtained.
Positive prints wore developed,
mounted, and projected on a screen.
Only one movement was obtained by
Muybridge, and to have taken photo-
graphs of a trotting horse for one
minute would have required 720
cameras.. The dry plate was intro-
duced in the early 'eighties, and Muy-
bridge's experiments were carried on
more effectively.
M1887 the idea cane to Edison that
motion could be recorded by means of
an instrument and then thrown upon
a screen. It was readily seen that a
camera wetted have to be perfected'
that would take pictures at the rate
of twenty to forty per second, and that
ono camera only would have t0 be
used.
In the summer of 1889 the drat mo-
tion -picture camera, was maria. In 1896
the first attempt was made to apply
motion pictures to a magic lantern,
and by that means throw them on the
screen,
