Attention to the Knocks. .
Now, there are some fifty-seven
varieties of kneels; how shall you
know which variety you have? Some
of them have troubled the wise heads
of the factories and the experts of
the garage and service station. But
with care- you may locate and earn:n-
ate the ordinary causes.
Perhaps the most frequent knock is
that which comes from carn_m M the
cylinders. Of course there ought not
to be carbon there, but faulty oirtmre-
tion, -faulty lubrication and faulty
compresion to pro pure it. Many en-
gines, even on the high e•r_eie cars,
have ap roneness to ateumalate car -
ben, partly due to the eo'r p:i'ndas of
gasoline ef the present day.Mo t

One should not jutup to the conclu-
sion that every knock comes from car-
bon, however. Kncks which proceed
from a loose connecting rod bearing,
loose cylinder, lack of lubrication or a
broken moving part might cause al-
most immediate damage to the :rotor,
so it is well to determine what is at
fault. Shut down the engine until you
know one of these things le not mak-
ing the noise. A piston slap, though
noisy, or a clicking oiip ump, how-
ever, is not going to break up the
machine,
When you go to the expert and he
cannot immediately locate the cause of
a knock he will call it a "gas .knock"
and say there is no remedy. Now, I
do not know what a "gas knock" is.
It is a term for the knock which is
elusive, and some engine knocks conte

To Keep Young.
Keep iu the sunlight; nothing beauti-
ful or sweet grows or ripens in the
darkness.
Avoid fear in all its varied forms of
expression; it is the greatest enemy
of the human race.
Avoid excesses of all kinds; they
are injurious. The long life must be
a temperate, regular life.
Don't live to eat, but eat to live.
Many of our ills are due to overeating,
to eating the wrong things, and to ir-
regular eating.
Don't allow yourself to think on
your birthday that you are a year old-
er and so much nearer the end.
Never look on the dark side; take
sunny views of everything; a sunny
thought drives away the shadows,
Be a child; live simply and natural-
ly, and keep clear of entangling al-
liances and complications of all kinds.
Cultivate the spirit of contentment;
all discontent and dissatisfaction bring

Prate time aerial activity has ex-
perienced a boom in Canada, and the
Dominion has been to the fore in tak-

ed in the years of war, utilizing mili-
tary aircraft and giving congenial em-
ployment to many Canadians who
formed a large part of the personnel
of the Royal Air Force.
Commercial air corporations have
sprung into being in all parts of the
Dominion east and west; many lumber

commercial flying are giving it gener-
ous support, and the rapid expan^--ion
of services throughout the country is
sufficient proof of the interest aroused
in letuaness circles.
their flying experience under the most
gruelling conditions; the manner in
which 80 many have taken to civilian

Air Force, augurs a keen dee re on
their part to resume the l`i'e they fol-

Get up right in the morning. Go to

With the development that has al-

tion of the war, there is certain to he
a great growth in aerial transport in
Canada within the next few years.
Little serious attempt has been made
thus far in the transport of freight by
air, greater attention being devoted to
passengers. The Canadian Air Board,
however, is paying equal attention to
both branches, so that the Dominion
may confidently look for considerable
progress in freight aerial transport.
A Field of Commercial Utility.
With the formation of the Canadian
Air Force, attracting to 11 .a number
of young Canadians who were success-
ful flyers overseas, and with the active
operations of the Air Board, there can-
not but be a bright future ahead of the
Dominion for flying in all its phases
of commercial utility. No difficulty is
being experienced in locating suitable
landing spots for prairie spaces the
to be found near most large centres,
and the chains of great lakes, span-
ning the continent, form the .best pos-
sible starting and terminating points
for hydroplanes which have already
proved so useful ,in forestry work.

Utilization of Canadian Coal.
It is a considerable strain upon pub-
lic patience to be subjected to severe
shortages of fuel from time to time,
and, on the other hand, to read fre-
quent statements to the effect that
about one-sixth of the total coal re-
sources of the world is possessed by
Canada.
To promote n more general under-
standing of the nature of the numer-
ous problems involved to malting
greater use 01 our own fuel resources,
the Commission of Conservation car-
ried out a thorough survey of rho
whale situation, and, in 1911, publish-
ed the results in a volume enthlal

(2) ('peep power problem in the

(3) Domestic fuel problem of the

(4) Utilization of low grade fuels;
(5) The coking of coal.
Perhaps the most illuminating fea-

Microphone Detective.
The microphone is applied to the
detection of fire damp in sntn'es, This
le its principle: If sound waves from
two pipes of equal pitch impinge on
microphones connected in series with
a telephone, a clear note is heard, but
if one of the pipes enttt a Slightly dif-
ferent note, beats will bo heard in the
telephone.
Here is the application: One pipe
is placed 1n the mine, the other above
the ground and they are blown simul-
taneously. If the air In the mine is
charged with fire damp, it will produce
a different note from that produced by
clear air, owing to the difference of
density, and ie consequence, n series
of beats in the telephone gives warn-
ing of the presence of fire damp.
The same apparatus is very sensi-

Capt. Fry alt's Ship
Sold at Auction
The steamship Brussels,- Capt. Fry-
att's ship, has been sold at auction at
the Baltic Shipping Exchange in Lon-
don for 13,100, says a London des-
patch. The purchaser was 1', B. Stott
of the firm of T. B. Stott & Co., ship
owners of Liverpool, The vessel was
sold as site lay. The purc:taser said
he had not decided what he would do
with her,
Iliany ship owners attended the stale,
but bidding for the historic ship was
not spirited. H, 0, Kelloc, head of the
firm of Kelloc Sz Co., conducted the
sato, and in his call for bids appealed
to the sentiments rather than to the
commercial feeling of the bidders, The
fnrei bid was.18,000 and was on behalf
of Dav:d Petrie of London and Ants
warp, After coaxing by the auction-
eer tho hid was raised £100 by Mr.
Stott, and with no outer bid f ,rthcom'
hng the vessel was sold l4 tum.
Sir PAW C: grvor, l'epeescneing the
Ministry of Shipping, attended the
sale and said a request had been re -
calved from the Belgian Government
that a portion of the Brussels should
he ,given to them for incorporation in
