A complete thirty day all-enpehso
tour is being arranged from Toronto
to the North Pacific Coast, special
.train leaving Toronto via Canadian
National Railways, July 9th next.
Westbound, the party will pass'
through sante of the most important
cities of Western Canada—Winnipeg,
Saskatoon, Edmonton, stopping over
at Jasper National Park, thence to
Prince Rupert and via Canadian. Na-
tional Pacific Coast Steamers
through the .wonderful scenic seas of
the North Pacific Coast to Vaneou-
ver, returning via Portland, Yellow-
stone National Park, Salt • Lake City
and Estes National. Park through
Chiacgo, thence back to Toronto. '
The tour is being arranged under
the direction of Mr. A. E. Bryson,
principal of Silverthorn School, Tor-
onto, and Mr. Martin Kerr, Principal
breaking load. For chive strand
manilla rope of one .inch diameter
the safe load is under 1,000 pounds,
while the break;ng load is dearly
5,500 pounds,' Half-inch rope should
not be subjected to a load greater
than 230 pounds if it is to last and
give service. The breaking strength.
of 'half-inch manilla rope is 1,620
pounds. A three-quarter inch rope
ean be expected to carry 525 pounds
as a sate load, Or 3,600 pounds with
very great risk to both material and
operator.Rope should notbe used
over small pulleys or runs if it is to
last and givegood service. Many of
the 'hay fork .pulleys used are less
than eight inches in diameter, and
are very hard on the rope, causing
heavy strain, wear and early destruc-
tion. Tar applications to rope. while
increasing the rope's' resistance to
weathering, reduces the strength
about twenty-five per cent. Rope
should be kept dry.
The Short Splice.
The short splice is of great service.
It 3s quickly made and strong. The
weaving of the strands of two three -
strand ropes together in the form of
a splice increases the diameter at the
point of repair'to the extent of mak-
ing this type of splice objectionable
if the rope is to be run over pulleys.
To make a short splice, unravel the
ends of the two pieces of rope that
it is desired to splice or fifteen inches
if the rope '1s: ono inch in diameter,
or less ie working on a smaller rope.
After unravelling wrap the ends of
the strands to prevent them untwist-
ing. Bring the strands together by
tying by pair` with an -overhand
knot, the strands from opposite ends
nf' the ropes being •joined. by the
splice. This done, the work is com-
pleted by weaving the strands into
the rope in both directions, using a
dd or a tapered and pointed wooden
pin to open the strands. The free
ends are passed under every other
strand for a distance of six' or eight
inches each way from the centre of
the splice, This done the remaining
ends of strands are cut off and the
work completed.
The Long Splice..
This type of splice is used where.
it is desired to make a union of two
'pieces'of rope and stili retain nearly
the same diameter at the splice. A
long splice in a three -strand rope will
be composed of not more than four
strands at any one point, and the
length of the union is very muoh
greater than in the short splice. .o
make a long splice count off sixteen
turns from theends to be spliced and
mark by tying with a strong twine.
Unlay the rope ends down to the
point of tying and force the ends to
of the Earl Kitchener School, Hamil- ther to begin the splice. Develop,
ton, Ont. Fulli information may be t further by unleying one stran
secured from Mr• Bryson, 44 Silver,
thorn Ave., Toronto. Juliet. 2540w,
also 'from Mr. Kerr, 4 Beulah Ave.,
Hamilton, Regent 842.
While primarily designed for the
benefit of teachers in the provnice or
Ontario, the tour is open to members
of the general public and any who
care to join the party will be most
welcome. 09-2

ONTARIO
One hour to destroy
Weeks and weeks to repair
The destruction to a road which can be done in one
hour at this season of the year by an over -loaded
truck or a high-powered passenger car travelling at
excessive speed may take weeks of work to repair.
Even hard roads suffer under heavy weights when
water lurks in road foundations, as it does during
wet spring months. Foundations become "fractured"
and road surfaces break. Wheels sink into gravel
and macadam roads, which now are soft and porous.
To prevent needless damage, The Highways Act
provides that during March and April trucks (out-
side cities and towns)
"rsh11 not be loaded in excess of one-half the
carring capacity of such vehicle as registered
with the Department, without obtaining a per-
mit as provided in Section 31."
As the cost of repair of roads is falling more and
more on the users, it follows that owners and drivers
will consult their own interest by keeping their loads
and speeds well within the legal limit at all times.
They are here urged to do so.
In view of this public" notice of the provisions of
The Highways ,Act, further notice is given that its
penalties will be rigorously enforced against those
who disobey.
