How To Make 'I`ire Fillers Stick,
A motorist told me the other day
that tire fillers were no good --that
they would net stick,
Questioning him, I found that he
bud merely smeared a little cement
over each eat as found, pushed in some
of the tread filler, anis then gone on
his Way,
To make tread fillers stick, you must
that trim smooth the edges of the
est with a sharp knife, roughen the
rubber with emcee cloth or sandpaper,
end thoroughly_ifiean it with gasoline.
Then apply 'a heavy coat of patch-
ing Bement, and while this is drying,
take ";;cat you judge to be a little
armee than enough tread filler to fill
the hole and knead it between your
fingers until soft.
When the cement is dry, push this
filler firmly into the stole and trim off
with a moistened knife until the re-
pair is level with the tread, If pos-
sible, let the 'repair stand a few hours
before using the tire.
It is well worth while to repair
these cuts promptly. If left open,
sand and dirt will eventually be
forced under the rubber next: to the
tire fabric and this will separate the
two, sometimes spreading over a weele
casing and stripping it of the out;;de
rubber. And even if this does me
happen, the fabric which is exp, : el
by the cut will (le'ay,
side—the side on which the stem oc-
curs---shuulci always be kept inside.
\5fhen it is in the casing it shoold be
"taleed" carefully and the fingers
should be forced all around the tire to
make sure that the tale has been
evenly distributed; then, before the
louse bend is applied, the tire should
be given a little more air.
Tracing Lamp Failure.
In making a test for lamp failure,
fhr.t lack at the lamp bulb. The fila-
ment may be burnt out and it will
take a sharp eye to see the small gap
which the current can not pass. If
yoe wish to test the lamp, taste it from
its socket and apply one contact to
the battery and hold a wire from the
buttery to the other contact. If the
lamp does not light and the contacts
are good the lamp is very likely burnt
out,
If the lamp appears all right after
, the above test. disconnect the termi-
nal where the reale enters the lamp
back and "short" across its contacts.
If a spark oceurs with a snap then the
trouble is very likely in the lamp
sockets. L: this teat a tingle -wire
syeten', will call for touching the end
of the •able connection ae:airet the
lane el the ear, whiie a two -wire
system will need the two contacts of
the v .,' : t t hod to each ether. Be
,l' vna, a,alp:, are of the right volt-
The rattence of current in the
ec,blce. with the switch turned to 'ori"
will more than likely indicate no short
circ tits in the system; the next thing
to look into is either the switch ori
the rases or beth. A loose contact or
cable terminal of the switch will knock
a lamp out, and a burnt fuse or cor-
rode(' fuse clips will also forestall
the current's pas.5age,Scraping
the
corroded clips or making them fit dos -
c:' will correct the last-named trouble.
If a test at the lamp socket shows
no current, and the fuse and clips are
all in good condition, then the battery
is the place where the trouLle lies,
unless a broken cable or bad terminal
froiu battery to switch is causing the
lamp failure. Take a hydrometer test
of the battery and also test the volt-
age. A discharged battery will cause
a dim and yellow light even when all
the eal:les and terminals are in good
shape, The remedy is to have the'
battery recharged. Also investigate
the feed cable from battery to switch.
Care of Inner tubes.
Undue haste in replacing a punet r-
ed or blown -out tube is responsible for
much trouble. The most common rale -
take is pinching the tube. The Labe
may be inserted in an uneven or twist-
ed manner. This causes it to overlap
or wrinkle, with the result that in a
short time it will cut through where
it has been overlapped, produce a and d
leak. The same trouble is also caused
sometimes by putting a new tube into
the tire just as it is taken from the
box.
When the tube is applied after
mounting there is such an inrush of
air that it will often buckle up the
tubes, thereby forcing a tiny section
beneath the head spreader. Especially
will this occur if the valve stern is not
pulled out to its proper position.
The operator should proceed slowly
when applying the tube. Before put-
ting it into the casing it should be
given a couple of "shots" of air, then
it should be applied carefully; the in••

By Ellery II. Clark
"We've had all that I want of this
kind of weather!" Joe complained,
"Five days 0f calm. 1'd welcome any-
thing to break the monotony, even a
burr] cane, "
We were lying in the shade of the
longboat, on the deck of the barken-
tine Curlew, hopelessly becalmed
some three hundred miles southeast
of Bermuda. The sun blazed down
out of a cloudless sky; not even a
breath of wind was stirring to 1111 the
Curlew's drooping sails. Per five long
days we had been hard at work, shusir-
ding down rigging and mending chafed
gear, until now, on the sixth morning,
we found ourselves without work and
quite ready for anything in the way
of a change.
I failed to discover, however, in
either sea or eky, any sign of Joe's
wished -for hurricane, and I was about
to tell hint s0 when there came from
the lookout at the masthead a sudden
hell: On deck, sir!"
Mr. Norcross, the first mate, hasten-
ed to reply, "Aloft there! What do
you see?"
To our hinge delight the response
came promptly back to us, "A boat,
sir, Broad off the starboard bow,"
instantly Mr. Norcross, with marine
glass in hand, made his way to the
foretop, and soon afterwards Capt.
Thomas himself came on deck, SO
that when the mate began his descent
Joe and I edged eagerly forward to
listen to the details of the discovery,
"Whet 15 it, Mr, Norcross?" asked
the captain.
The first nate hesitated a moment
before Ile replied; "It's hard to tell,
sir. Some sort of small craft, I should
say, with sail hoisted. Castaways,
perhaps. but she's so far away that I
can't be sere."
"Very well," answered the captain.
^l'ea'd better talte ft boat, Mr. Nor -
at, 1
or-
at:.1 investigate."
An instant later the mate had sun-
nlue 1 the boatswain, who, greatly to
my nil i est, called away the starboard
quarter bort. Joe belonged to the
starboard w-ateb and was therefore en-
titled to a seat in the boat. whereas I
had the nlraforttne to be a member
of tine port watch and was therefore
obliged to remain aboard. -
Standing enviously at the rail, I
watched the quarter boat go speeding
away to the southward. Leave, the
cook, who was a confirmed pessimist,
Carle and steed beside me,
"They're foeiin' 1111 right naw," he
grumbled, "but they've got a long trip
ahead of 'en), anti this sun's all -fired
hot. They'll be tired enough when
they get back; you take my word for
it,"
His words wholly failed to comfort
ole. but my gloomy spirits were not
destined to last long. Shortly after
the departure c1 the quarter boat, a
light air sprang up from the north-
ward, and the Curlew slipped along
before It at such good speed that we
reached our destination almost as
soon as the mato did.
The object of our search proved to
be not a boat at all, but a mammoth
bell buoy—one of those derelicts that
go wandering round the ocean, and
that usually bring up at last to that
haven of flotsam, the Sargasso Sea.
As we neared it, we could see that it
was a combined bell and whistling
buoy, and that its sides were com-
pletely covered with a dense growth
of barnacles and seaweed. The whistle
was not workhlg, but. the bell, as the
buoy swung in the seaway, gave forth
from time to time a hollow and melan-
choly clang.

RUMORS OF WAR.
One day the l'tussiane hunt their holes, pursued by tleree,
triumphant Pelee; the next the Pelee are on the run, spurred
on by Russian sword and gun. And, as I dope myself for guilt, I
wonder what It's all about. There's trouble brewing everywhere,
and warlike rumors 1111 the air. I thought, when closed the three-
ring war, "Peace is the thing we're yearning for; the whole
blamed world is sick of gore, and weary of the canon's roar, and
tired of human tears and groans, and of the sight of bleaching
hones. The nations all we'll(' speed the plow and set the hely and
milk the cow, pursue the gentle arts of peace, and bid the yawn-
ing captains cease." But now the Pole pursues the Russ and
makes a most unseemly fuss; and naw the Russ pursues the
Pole, and shoots him with a ton of coal; wherever meal infest
the map, some tribes are itching for a scrap. And as 1 feed
myself with kraut, I wonder what it's all about. Why can't the
blame fool nations meet with friendly hearth, in concord sweet,
and settle all their silly rows, and then go home to milk the
cows? Why does the Pole pursue the Russ, and shoot him with
a blunderbus? Why does the Russian swat the Pole? Has he no
higher, nobler goal? Why don't they meet with friendly grins,
and shako the dice to see who wins?
By the time we had conte within a
quarter of a mile or cue buoy, the
breeze had died again, and we lay
mice more becalmed, with slatting
sails, while the plate rowed leisurely
back to us and made his report to the
captain. By that time dinner was
ready, and all hands, with the excep-
tion of John Todd and myself, went
below. Todd, a stolid Englishman,
was on duty at the wheel, while I was
supposed to be acting as lookout on
the forecastle hand; bot I fear that
my lookout was in one direction only.
The buoy possessed a fascination for
ole that I could not resist, as I thought
of its solitary, endless quoet through
summer calms and winter storms,
solemn, dee
sounding its so -toned warn-
ing
g
hvoyagers ing no longer to the of the
sea, but t0 the fowls of the air and the
monsters of the deep.
Nor was that, I grieve to say, the
only reason that the buoy attracted
me; there was another and a less com-
mendable one, for Joe and I, although
firm friends, were always rivals, and
I could not help feeling that by shar-
ing in the adventure with the mate
and crew of the quarter boat he had a
distinct advantage over me—he had
gone to the very base of the buoy,
whereas I had seen it merely from the
deck of the Curlew. And thus I asked
myself if there were not some way
by which I weld turn the tables on
Joe and investigate the derelict even
more thoroughlythan ]1e had done.
I had no sooner propounded the
query than I found the answer to it,
for, glancing cautiously behind me, I
caw that Todd was dozing placidly at
the wheel. Feeling sure that the
launching of a boat would awaken
him, and deciding, therefore, to swim
inetsad, I swung nimbly down the fore
chains, slipped nafselessly into the
water and struck out boldly for the
buoy.
Fifteen minutes later I had reached
the base, only to find that my plan of
sealing it was apparently impractic-
able, far it was some eight feet in
diameter and at least twelve feet high,
and its barnacle -incrusted sides were
so slippery with seaweed as to pre-
sent a surface up which it would be
well-nigh impossible to climb. Swim-
ming slowly round the buoy, I looked
for a foothold, and on reaching the
side farthermost from the vessel I dis-
covered, to my delight, half hidden by
the weeds, a rusty iron ladder, with
rungs riveted fast to the side of the
buoy.
Three times I brushed aside the sea
growth, gained a footing and began
my climb, and tlu'ee times, as the
buoy tilted to the sena, I lost my 11011
and slipped back into tihe water with
a resounding splash, Yet it never
once occurred to me that the commo-
tion I was making would endanger my
life, until, happening to glance over
niy shoulder, 111y blood turned to ice
111 my veins as I saw, not fifty feet
away, the huge triangular fin of a
slharit cutting the water like a knife
and heading directly for the buoy.
Ta overestimate the speed of my as-
cent would be difficult; to exaggerate
the horror o•1 the climb would bo im-
possible, My lingers gripped desper-
ately at the rungs of the ladder, and,
mindful of storles7 I had heard of
sharks' throwing themselves out of
water to reach their prey, 1 made it
my aim to reach the top of the buoy
in all haste. At last I grasped the law
guard rail, and, drawing myself up-
ward and forward at the same time, I
cast ono terrified glance over my
shoulder, anti then, rolinquishdng my
hall upon the rail, I threw myself,
stomach down, upon the upper surface
of the buoy.
My haste proved my undoing. The
tap of the buoy was slippery with kelp
and slime, and at its next huge lurch,
in s1Mte of my frenzied efforts to save
myself, I felt myself hurled, half roll-
ing, half sliding, across the buoy,
heading straight ter the water and far
oertain death. Nothing, it seemed,

store for me, for the next instant
something seemed to strike me a ter-
rific blow upon the head and I ex-
perienced the dreadful feeling of
whirling headlong through space.
Then came a crash, and I knew noth-
ing more.
At last, by slow degrees, conscious-
ness returned to me, and as I became
aware that I was not in the ocean, but
was lying upon same solid substance,
I staggered uncertainly to my feet.
Glancing overhead, I saw instantly
what had occurred. Twelve feet above
me, far out of reaeh, a. huge manhole
yawned. I had struck my head against
the edge, shot bodily downward and
was now imprisoned in the hollow
of the buoy.

p .
My first thought was of the vessel,
and, peering through a narrow crack
iu the side of the buoy, at about the
level of any eye, I could see her still
lydng becalmed. Todd was probably
still dozing at the wheel. Then for
the fleet time I realized the danger of
my predicament, for I had no way of
attracting their attention, and they,
an their part, when they missed me,
would never dream that I had left the
Curlew en such a reckless erhland. By
and by the breeze would come, and
then—but at the thought my heart
sickened, and, momentarily giving
wa.y to a panic of fear, I began to
shout aloud at the tap of nny lungs.
The only result was to produce a re-
verberation that nearly burst my ear-
drums; yet I do not suppose the sound
could have been heard fifty feet from
the buoy.
Almost instantly I realized the use-
lessaless of my action, and, glancing
desperately round me in the darkness,
I noticed for the first time the ponder -
Otte mechanism o1 the whistle; and
immediately the thought came to me
that here was my one possible chance
of escape. 51 I could blow the whistle
in time to attract the attention of
those aboard the Curlew before she
naught a favoring breeze and stood
away to the westward, I might be
saved; otherwise I was doomed to a
fate of almost inconceivable horror.
At once I begasi to investigate the
principle on which the whi'elle worked,
and to my relief found that it was ex-
tremely simple. An enormous pair of
rawhide bellows furnished the air
blast, while attached to one side of it
as 0 counterweight was a heavy iron
ball suspended by an iron bar from a
beam that ran across the inside of
the buoy. When the buoy lurched and
rolled in the seaway, the bellows a1 -

From a number of plants, among them
corn and cotton stalks, But two chief
difleulties steed in the way of com-
mercial exploitation of the process.
In the first place there is not a suf-
ficient supply of any one material, anal
it is too expensive to gather corn or
cotton stalks from a wide area. The
second, and perhaps the mome irnpor-
tent, difficulty is that, because the
tnatr•rial is net eAnpe,et, only a enttull
aue,ni,t eau be placed in the pulp "di"

dnetiolt very expensive.
The first objection.: that of insuf-
ficient supply at first applied even to
t:aw• grcar:s, for although there ie an
enormous quantity, It growsin almost
inaccessible lawallllr lands, and cannot
be llarveel,d by ordinary methods.
With the later development of a ape•
coal liarvr,ethig machine. a Model of

this objerliorr seems to have been
eliminated. This machine is an am-
phibious modification of the wheat

ternately drew in the air and then ex-
pelled it again, forcing it upward
through a three-inch pipe until it
reached its final outlet at the mouth
of the whistle.
The thought occurred to me that if
I could "shinny" up the pips I might
be able to swing myself over to the
manhole and crawl out through 1t.
But one grasp of the slime -covered
pipe convinced me that I could ne-sor
get up it; it would have been easier
to climb the greased pole at the coun-
ty fair. 140! In blowing the whistle
lay my only chance.
But although the principle of the
mechanism was clear enough, it was
11 1
ua evident that the swing of the
equally g
counterweight produced no sound,
The bellows worked perfectly; the
pipe seemed in good condition; the
trouble, then, was apparently with the
whistle itself. It suddenly flashed
over me that the constant breaching
of seas, over the buoy must have in-
crusted the vent with brine, leaving
no opportunity for the air to escape.
My only chance, therefore, was to dds-
conn'ect bellows and pipe and to clean
the whistle. Before beginning my
task I took one more leak at the ves-
sel. My heart sank when I saw a rise
!ng breeze ruffling the water to the
eastward and the crew of the barken-
tine bracing the yards to take advant-
age of the shifting wind.
With the energy of despair I set to
work and soon succeeded in discon-
necting the bellows
To turn the pipe, however, was a
task beyond my strength; for that
work I needed a wrench. But what
could I make one of? The swinging
counterweight gave me one clue, and,
unshackling it, I pushed and pulled at
the pendulum bar until it broke short
off in 00' hands. Next, I slashed away
with my knife. a strip of rawhide from
the bellows, attached the bar to the
pipe, and, using the bar ars a lever,
was overjoyed when at last I felt the
pipe begin to yield.
In a moment I had unscrewed it, and
hastily cutting off another strip of
rawhide, I ladled my knife to the bar,
and began frantically prodddng at the
interior of the whistle, A shower of
dirt, rust and brine descended, until
presently I could see a faint circle of
light above me and knew that the
aperture was cleared. Yet as I cast
one more hasty glance after the ves-
sel,"); felt the grip of overmastering
fear; for the Curlew, always a fast
sailer in light airs, was standing away
to the westward and already appeared
to my agonized eyes to be little more
than a speck upas the horizon. Half
crazed with terror, I set to work again
like a demon until I had reconnected
the pipe and the bellows and stood
ready to blew the one signal which,
if heard, might save ine—S. 0. S.
With the strength of despair, I
heaved at the gigantic bellows; then
came a moment of dreadful silence;
and then—oh, blessed sound!—there
went shrieking forth over the waters
the first blast of my call. Like a man
in delirium, I sent the signals, over
and over a .gain,—three short, three
long, three short,—until at last I hears
a, cry above me and, glancing upward,
saw the captain's face peering down
