However, such accessories should not be allowed to take up a large amount; of room. They should be capable of; being packed in such n small place that they are not constantly getting in; the way. The special tools furnished by the manufacturer should always be carried along and taken good care of, as nothing else is likley to meet quite so well the needs' that may arise. CARRY SUPPLY OF LINKS. You cnn never tell whattheweather is going to be an hour after you leave your garage for a drive. To be caught out on the road in a storm isnot un- common. In such an event youmight be faced with the necessity of putting g on non-skid' chains. This means in the first place that it is very desirable to supply your car with such chains. Though these are in good condition when leaving the garage, after run- ning a while over rough roads at a fair speed, some of the links may wear through and begin to thrash against the mud guards. This is anoying and is apt to be damaging to the mud guards. This means, in the second place, that it is desirable to carry a supply of links and a chain tool so that the broken ends can be removed and broken links can be replaced. Some motorists would not venture forth without a folding pail. Perhaps they have bad the distracting experi- ence of climbing up a very long hill to find the water in the radiator boiled away. While the cooling systems for automobile engines to -day are very efficient and while it is only in ex- ceptional cases that the water will boil out of the radiator, yet when this occurs the results are liable to be dis- astrous. While tire troubles are less. and less in evidence they do occur once in .a evhile. To jack up a wheel to Change a tire, on dirt and sandy roads especially, is something most difficult. The jack sinks into the loose sand or dust instead of lifting the car. If you have bandy n block of wood an inch thick and about six inches wide and a foot long it will be a ready solution to your problem. TM ROPE 15 FRIEND 114 NEPA It is not easy to keep the hands clean while working about a car. Grease and grime get on the hands and oil is often bard to avoid. There- fore many owners carry a small bag of waste or rags. Then it is desirable to nava a three -in -one or similar tire. valve tool with which it; is possible to remove the valve plunger, clean lip the threads in the valve stem so that the plunger may be properly seated, and trim the damaged threads on the. outside of the stern so that the cap wt,l screw . down tight. The vah`e stem may become battered in chang- ing a tire so as to prevent air being forced into the tire. A tow rope is Another useful acces- eer'. You may need ityoerseif or it may be used to help a 'fellow motorist one, which was ready grown tmde}- neeth, proceed to swallow his old suit! This is not romsnee, but plain fact. All reptiles shed their skin, but not until they have acquired the toad's habit of swai:rowving the old one. The reason this charge of clothing is not witutessed more often is that reptiles seek privacy for the operation, as whist it is In process they aro handi- capped, and might be at the mercy of an enemy. Every bird, too, changes lis clothing at least •on'ee a year. The moulting of the old feathers is• done without much fuss, and eaters gives every bird a new rig -out in a very short time, re- newing color and texture according to breed and variety.

To give some idea of the size of these timbers the total board -measure- ment of the 125- pieces approaches one million feet. They must also be with- out defect. A search of their limits for trees to produce these huge sticks will be made by prominent B. C. lagging firms and there is no doubt but that the "goods" will be found, and delivered.

Hard wood cuttings are usually taken in the fall from Well ripened wood, of the preilous eeasonIs' growth.

There seems to be no great difference as far as ability to root ds concerned between cuttings which are taken through a bud and t'iuese which have their first bud farther up the stem, although many growers favor the former meth- od. Success in rooting cuttings depends on the productlon of callus over the lower end of the stick: Callus is a spongy material laid down by the ac- tivity of certain pant cells in an ef- fort to closeover v er tli s Cut anti it is from this callus that roots arise. Cal- lusing can be hastened by burying the cuttings upside down in moist sand so that the root end will be exposed to a warmer temperature than the rest of the •cutting.

The greatest age that can be attain- ed by the varied' spec -lei 'of animals varies considerably. Among mammals the largo animals usually live longer than the small ones, but this law 1s not valid among birds, the parrot, for example, reaching the same age as the eagle. Spiders live one to two years; beet- les have been kept prisoners for five Years. The queen bee often lives for five years, while the working bees us- ually live only six week,s, Ants !rave been kept in captivity for fifteen years, while the toad has been known to at- tain forty years. A turtle was kept In captivity for 150 years, and the specimen In question may have been 300 years old. The age of birds is known best. The household cock lives fifteen to twenty years; the goose and the elder -duck, 100 years; the swan, 102 years; the stork, seventy; the falcon, 162; the golden eagle, 104; the blackbird, eigh- teen; the canary as much as twenty- four, and the parrot about 100 years, Of the mammals, the horse attains forty to sixty years; the sheep, twen- ty; the dog; twenty-eight; the cat, twenty-two; and the elephant and the whale 200 years. The Potato on Trial. It took people a hundred years to discover that potatoes were good to eat. In 1728 an attempt was made to in- troduce potatoes into Scotland, but they were denounced from the pulpit on two contradictory counts -that they were the forbidden fruit, the cause of Adam'q fall. They were tie cused of causing leprosy and fever. z- Not Honey in the Flower.

In 1728 an attempt was made to in- troduce potatoes into Scotland, but they were denounced from the pulpit on two contradictory counts -that they were the forbidden fruit, the cause of Adam'q fall. They were tie cused of causing leprosy and fever. z- Not Honey in the Flower.

The enrollee depth of the shaft Is regarded by Sir Wallin Budge, form, er peeper of Frgyptfsn Antiquities at the British Muaetun, as rea8'nll for be- lieving the tomb may prove to be that or Bing Soneferu, first Sovereign of tis fourth dynasty (4000 11.71.). Dr. Allan H.

Dr. nudge . expressed the opinion I that the shaft made it "quite likely" 1 the tomb is that of the King, Mee, the ulnae a cOmparJsna between this and the discovery of the tomb of Tut- ankhamen. "The world," he said, "will realer- ber the excitement caused by that dia. 1covery, and the joy of, finding gilded chairs and couches inlaid with blue - glazed porcelain, But these things , blinded people to the fact that we have net recovered one historical fact front ;that tomb.

From the particulars levee it is quite clear thet this is not the tomb of an ordinary individual, and, with a draft 150 feet deep and which Is filled with concrete and ce- meat instead of ordinary rubble, it le !evident the person burled is some one of supreme importance. Among the contents of the tomb ideetlfled is a great marble sareo- phagus with gold -decorated columns. Near by, upon what seems to ho a plate, rests the seal of Bing Seneferu, who preceded Iing Cheops (tibufu), builder of the great pyramid of Giza. • Natural Resources Bulletin. The Natural Resources Intelligence Ire I Service of the Department of the In- terior at Ottawa says: The influence of the newspaper on the development of natural resources ' is probably not as generally appreci- ated as it should be by the public, Newspapers do a vast amount of pub- licity work for their individual local- ities, and the spread of this informa- tion has been, in many cases, the cause of interest being created in an un- ldeveloped resource. The home paper editor should likewise be credited with a large amount of the local interest in towns and villages of Canada, in that ;he is keen to see bis locality prosper- ous and progressive. Without a local I pride this advancement is not possible. In many of our smaller municipal- ities there are conditions that, were they known, would be an inducement for capital to become interested, Self - advertising is not a fault when ap- plied to the improvement of home con-. ditions, particularly the. development of local natural resources. At the re- cent annual meeting. of the Dominion Land Surveyors Association, Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister of the In- terior, said that be "had the greatest admiration for the men who were at- tracting attention to the development of Canada's natural resources." In this Mr. Stewart was but saying what all public men are thinking -all men who are thus interested are doing a work for Canada's advancement that entitles them to the greatest credit. Fascinating Hudson Bay. Getting away from the normal is the ambition of many when the sum- mer vacation urge comes. This is a very unsettling problem in the lives of many winter shut-ins at present, and the eyes just naturally turn to the map in search of new areas where civilization, with its concomitants of trade and industry, has not despoiled f nature. the works o This year, par- ticularly, there is a general looking to the Hudson Bay and its surround- ing territory for new experiences. Tho old spirit of exploration that carried the early discoverers of Cats cola into unknown parts at ll lives itt the blood of the present gen gyration, and tine fascination of breaking new trails will not be subdued. There are few portions 01 Canada remaining in which nature has not been disturbed, and one of these is the Hudson Bay area. Many canoe parties will be found on the great rivers entering the hay ibis year, many new experlereete will be recorded, and it is safe to say that ere the touring season of 111'3x, is past much additional information will he available cowering this great inland sea and its surroundl',g terri- tory.
