Considerably over 90 per cent. of automobiles are propelled by the gas- oline engine. There are a few that carry storage batteries and use elec- tric motors for motive powers. There is a still smaller number that use a steam engine, the steam being gener- ated in a boiler which is heated by burning gasoline or kerosene. The gasoline engine is made in a number of forms, ranging from the engine with four cylinders in a line to the twelve -cylinder, which is the V-shaped arrangement with six cyl- inders on each side of the "V." Be- tween these two extremes there is the engine with six cylinders in a line, the eight -cylinder with blocks of four paced in the V-shaped and eight types to select from to suit the indi cylinders in a straight line. vidual's needs and tastes. The pros - As to the arrangement of the valves pective automobile owner will find all of an engine, some types have both types of engines well developed and valves arranged on one side of the' effective in operation. The great majority of the engines use valves of the "poppet" type, that is, valves that are shaped like niueh- rooins, are pushed open by a cam and are returned to their seat by a spring. A large percentage of automobile motors are cooled by water, the cylin- ders being surrounded by a jacket of water which absorbs the excess heat. The hot water is pumped to a radiator placed on the front of a car, which provides for the heat being carried off by the air:, In the air-cooled motor provision .is made for bringing sufficient quanti- ties of air directly into contact with the outside of the cylinders. In this way the excess heat is carried off directly by the air. Every year finds a tendency toward standardization in automobile design. Still there is enough of a variety of Dangerous Carbon Monoxide. The gasoline engine is a useful in- vention, which has, through its service- ableness to the automobile, gone far to revolutionize our habits and modes of life: But it has one drawback, In the course of combustion ---especially when the combustion is not complete—the exploding gasoline produces a gas which, under certain conditions, is dan- gerous to health and even to life. That gas is carbon monoxide; it is one of the most deadly of gases, and it is dis- charged from the exhaust of every car whose engine is running, whether the'.

A sheet of paper is a sheet of ve table fibres matted together, dyed, and surfaced according to' requirements. And it is from wood that the fibrous part of the paper is obtained. The wood -pulp, as it is called, is made in this manner. The trees are cut into lo.as, about two. feet long, split and.rthe bark and knots carefully re moved. The logs are ground up by revolving stone wheels, water being supplied to keep them cool, and to inix with the wood to form the pulp. This 'pulp contains all, the impurities after the first grinding, so it is strained through a wire sieve, which allows the liner pulp to pass. 4' • * * The good,pulp, still, containing im- purities, Is now subjected to a refining process in a machine resembling two huge grindstones placed one on top of the other. The top stone revolves, and the pulp is fed through a hole in this, being fine- ly ground between -the two stones. • Our "tree" is now ready to take on its first appearance in the form of a "sheet." The refined pulp is passed over a wire gauze cylinder on to a felt con- veyor which passes it to a pair of steel rollers, the top one taking up the end of the web of pulp and gradually wind- ing it.upon itself. When the necessary thickness has been attained, the pulp Is taken off the roller, opened out'and dried. In this state it is termed "half stuff boards." Part of a Tree. But paper made solely from this me•' chanical wood-pulp—to `wee ` its trade naive -would be too coarse and lm pure, and would quickly discolor and turn brittle.. It is therefore invariably mixed with a finer grade of pulp which has been chemically prepared. ' The better quality, instead of being ground, is cat into small' pieces, and, belled in a solution of sulphite of soda, •in..huge vats. The boiling -process' extracts the im- purities of the wood, and breake it un into pulp which is then drained off, washed and made into "half stuff boards" as already described. * * To produce an even surfabe the cor- sect proportions of the "half stuff boards" are loaded with china clay and so du; and to ensure a white color a, solution of blue is introduced. into the machine,' Sizing material is also lidd- ed. Tills prevents the oil in the print-. ing ink running when the paper is printed on. We are well.on our way now to the finished sheet of paper. The pulp is strained carefully and conveyed to the paper -making ma- chine, running on to an endless belt of wire mesh, about forty feet long by eight feet wide. This belt, now coated with a wet sheet of pulp, is supported by brass , rollers, moisture being extracted from the pulp by suction. The pulp 'sheet next passes under a rolled' which ren- ders the surface smooth. At this point the wire belt makes its return journey under the rollers and further moisture still is extracted from•the damp sheet of pulp as it passes over some steam - heated cylinders. As the paper comes from the last drying cylinder it is wound upon reels, which contain in` some cases, miles and miles of paper. In this reeled condition It is cut to a required width=ready for use. Business Changes. Never has there been a time when it was so necessary for the indi;strial executive to exercise vision. We have come to a day when a business .can be mad or ruined over night.
