"I close my eyes," she said, "trying
to imagine all the nightmare, never
to be repeated, but with horror and
regret in my soul I must say that in
my dear Russia there is no life;
everything has been annihilated.
Petrograd resembles a giant skele-.
ton. All the wooden houses have
disappeared, pulled down by the peo-
ple for fuel. In most of the large
houses whole families herd in the kit-
chen for warmth; the other rooms are
deserted owing to lack of heating.
Doors, doorposts, window sashes,
flouring—all have been torn up for
fuel; the water and sewage pipes have
all burst, and excrement percolates
into the romps, producing a condition
of indescribable filth. The kitchen is
lighted only by a feebly -flickering oil
lamp.

There have been 'many attempts to
fit some sort of air cleaner on the
tractor to remove this dust from the
air before it reaches the carburetor
and is mixed with the fuel. Some
designers have employed centrifugal
cleaners and others a water,clearer
in which the air is expelled below the
surface of the water and -forced to
pass- through it before being led to
the carburetor.
Neither one of these devices,
when used separately, has proved
satisfactory. So it has remained
for one of the creeper type -tractor
manufacturers to devise a combin-
ation system in which 'both the cen-
trifugal dry -air cleaner and the
water cleaner are employed.
The air drawn in through the rad-
iator •by the fan is first forced
through the dry air- cleaner of the cen-
trifugal type. The cleaner takes
about ninety per cent of the dirt out
of the air. This partially cleaned
air then goes up through the intake
pipe of the water cleaner and down
below the surface of the water. It
then rises against the series of two
baffle -plates that tend to separate
the particles of water front the
c'eaned air so that the entirely clean
air fed to the carburetor is moist
rind yet nut fully saturated.
DO THEY WASH, THEIit EARS?
Water is used by the majority of
animals for washing as' it is with us, '
but many creatures inhabiting up-

or loans instead for dry cleaning.
When on a journey the elephant,

over his back and legs, taking the
best care never to sprinkle his rider;
but he greatly prefers to syringe him-

stream. It is a pretty sight to see
a group of soother -monkeys assembl-
ed at the brink of a stream, as if for
gossip, while they wash the faces of
their little ones, scooping up water
with their hands. Perhaps there is
no other creature excepting our own
human mother who is so tender and
wise a nurse.

WHAT iS AN INCH OF RAIN?
What is :in -inch of rain? The
weather titan has instruments for
very accurate measurements of it,
just as he measures the snowfall, the
sunshine and the direction and veloc-
ity of the wind, to say nothing of
the rise and fall of the temperature.
An acre is composed of 6,272,640
square incites, and if there was an
inch of water on it that would
amount to 6,272,640 cubic inches.
There are 227 cubic inches in a gal-
lon, so that 6,272,640 cubic inches
equals 220110 gallons, and that much
water would weigh 220,000 pounds,
or 110 tams. It figures out, then,
that an inch of rain falling is at the
rate of 110 tons per acre. It is a
good thing the tonnage is scattered
over so much territory.

past this burial ground had been
taken care of by a committee of
residents and had been very credit-
ably maintained. Some time ago at
a meeting it was decided to appeal
for funds and to procure legal advice,
to bring it under the law governing
such bodies. The appeal for funds
was well responded to. A donation
of twenty-five dollars was received by
the secretary from an old resident,
who now resides in the United
States. We understand that the
Board has now been formed and that
"hereafter all business will be done

PETROdRAD A DYING CITY.
That Petrgrad is in the lest extrem-
ity of privation, gloom and despatr is
the impression created by the news
filtering through, writes a corres-
pondent from Helsingfors, Finland.
The population, according to the So-
viet's own statistics, has fallen from
2,440,000 in 1917 to 706,000. The
people despairingly ask how long
Bolshevism can last, but are too
broken spirited to help themselves.

known in- literary and artistic circles,
who escaped from Petrograd some
weeks ago with her husband, gives

WHY UNLUCKY TO GO BACK!
Hoyt many people would be will-
ing to acknowledge that they believe
it is had luck to return, after leaving
the house, for something they have
forgotten? Some popular supersti-
tions can he explained psychological-
ly—and this is one of then. The
psychologists agree as to the had luck
part of it, but say that the bad luck
consists not so much in the going
bacrk for the article as in the for -.1
getting of it in the first place. This
shows that you do not keep your mind
sutlicientty, upon the details of what
you are about. Having to go back
for that letter ,,,t• package you were to
take with you is a symptom of lack of
concentration of the mind on immedi-
ate matters. Lack of concentration
on "the instant need of things" is
"unlucky." Things will appear to go
wrong all day, and you will attribute
it to the fact that you went back
after your umbrella; whereas the
truth is that your mind is not func-
tioning properly.
LUNGS
One of the greatest causes of
excessive wear in the engine of the
gasoline farm tractor is the fine
dust drawn into the engine cylinder%
in the air vaporized with the fuel in
the carburetor. Except in wet wea-
ther. the tractor is almost contin-
uously enveloped fn a haze of dust -
laden air, and yet it is from this air
that the carburetor has to draw for
making its explosive mixtures. This
evil always will be present in power
farming, where the tractors are run
at a fare rate of speed. Dirt, when
