In many such cases the cyi'in- 111111yr0^ders need to 'be reground. When the automobile engine is built the i i ide of the -cylinder is turned, to a perfect circle. The piston `,which elides up and down in the cylinder Is Wined rned in t perfect circle The, piston oanno t' be fits ed'to form an air- tight joint because tlie'teriperatuee of the engine varies in aeeortlensw with, ties atitasde atnieephere and the Anis' cunt of. jisat g`enei'ated: in the engine. itself... `That is ,to six' ihe'tempei3trture 'et the engine varies ;as the weather ,changes and else as rare or less heat is•:generated ir the nine to meet the demend for grouter or. leaser power. Boththe piston arigi 'the cylinder paid .and contract with the varia- `lopes 1•n temperature, but not to the ' the degree. Therefore' a piston that teed the cylinder perfectly at a cer- tain 'teniperatiire waul'd expand enough to stick fast in the cylinder at another temperature. Perhaps at still another degree it would fit the cylire cter so loosely as to• permit the gas to leak by making `compression: of the • gas impossible. To secure a gas-tight contact with the cylinder wall the.piston is provid- ed rovided, with Several; .iiexible rings which expand 'outward nnd form a'perfect ontact'with the cylinder wall. They hate sufficient elasticitto keepthis Y ntact as the cylinder expands and n'tracts die to the char gee in texli- perattire. When the engine is being iterated the piston' slides back an Arth in the cylinder end because f a 9 the construction of the engine the piston is forced with, cons,�i�erable' fkressure against the side of 'he eyt- inder.

As the piston rings; are not sufficiently flexible to fill in " the worn spa leaking is the natural re- sult. This leaking causes seeerai ills.. First, the gas which is ,being com- pressed passes by the piston, thus re- g ducing .,.the power generated by floe engine, and as the gas condenses in the crank case the oil is diluted and • its - TO "OLD :CYLINDERS, dlebricating quality somewhat impair - 04, Seserrd;''on the suction stroke, an excessive quantity ;of oil May be drawn laat't the piston into the sox section chamber, where it burns; causing /make arid: forming carbon which causes knoekin' of the engine, • This carbon gets under the valves and causes loss of compression and short, circuits the spark plugs, which in turn causes. the emetine to miss Are.

But permanent recovery . can be ob- :tairied 'through restoring the' cylinder to its original form of"a perfect circle and fittiug,neve,pistons andrings to. it. The most. satisfactory way of re - .storing the cylinder is to .regrind it. This is done by the- use of emery or carborunduin *liege on a machine de- signed especially for this work. This is a rather delicate: operation and re- quires the service of a high grade me chanic skilled'in this line of work. When the proper grade of work is done the results are even superior to those attained in the new car at the factory.. •WHEN ° REGRI IDING•.1s ,NECESSARY. If the' designis >�'. of the engine good and lubrication has been effective,, re- giind'ing becomes necessary:probably around 35,`000 miles of use. Because of the fact that many users of pleasure cars find their •'machine of obsolete type during the months or years that pass while• 36,000 miles is being ac- cumulated, 'regrinding has not been • universally done with this type of car as' has been the casewith the automobile truck where efficiency and. economy rather than style. are. the im=' portant considerations. As •the; manufacturers of passenger cars continue to develop the one mode/ Idea rather than bringing out yearly models tho , stypes will not change so rapidly. Then greater economy, can be obtained by the owner..,by restoring his engine to good meohanical condi- tion instead- of purchasing a new car.. Many of the ears that are now traded in for new models are repur- chased at.'it low figure and the new owner does not consider them of suffi- cient uffi cient value •to spend' much money on putting them in first class mechanical condition. However, although the model may not be,of the latest much trouble could be avoided, and greater eatisfaptton obtained _ in. the use of a ar of this`d type by attacking the ISMS of practically allof the petty ei'}hoyanres, namely,. the worn cyl{n-` de This means regrinding.hot he whole matter, of- 'regrinding 'is something that every owner of an automobile ehoulyd make' somewhat of y_ a stud,for there is a time in the life of practically all motor vehicles when regrinding can be done to advantage. This is especially true if a person is a careful driver and uses his machine well and wishes to get the maxiniuni number of years service ' out of it. areThere places where a specialty is made of regrinding cylinders and where expert advice can be secured concerning this problem.

His body rads- area some of its. heat into the surround• ung atmosphere, and were it not •for the heat -regulating power of the skin his temperature would, drop. But th nerves report the feet to the skin, and the small blood -vessels there begin to Contract so that less blood is at the surface to be- cooled. The nerves also report to the muscles, and they begin to tremble and shiver. This causes the production of more heat. If the pores of the skin are complete- ly stopped up (as they were in a his- torical ease of a child whose' body was covered with ;gilt paint), the person will die within a short time, due to in- terfetrence. with the heat -regulation mechanism.. Perspiration goes on con- tinually, generally insensibly. One notes it particularly if he wears a rub- ber 'coat, or when heavy shoes or soh ashes' are worn, for he finds his cloth- ing or his stockings' wet or damp. Keeping Clean and Fit. So we bathe (1) to remove the re- sIdue of this insensible perspiration; ,(2•) to keep the pores open; and (9) to produce a definite environment tem- perature for our comfort --a hot bath to add --warmth to the body or a cold bath to- lessen the bodily heat. A warm or hot bath will often soothe a 'person :weaiy.with•effort. A cold bath ar cold sponge often brings sleep to a :, feverish, nervous person. The smaller the body the greater re- n l'atively is' its radiating surface. So we of pee toot 'the tiny'infant from ems -fact ith a too' low temperature Or from draughts, `which very readily evaporate he insensible'perspiration; father - ore, we do not bathe him at a tem- erature much below that of his body.

The healthy athlete, however, takes hie cold show- er, hastens the needed cooling of his body, and thus strives to be clean and. fit. There is no general rule for bathing.

The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says:— One wonders as he travels along the railway, what becomes of all the old railway ties that the section gangs are constantly taking out and melee.- , ung with 'new ones. Occasionally a. fire is seen; -when these old ties are being burned, but thegreater portion p on., of them are used by the railway inen for firewood. It is the enormous quan- tity of these ties, however, that are required to keep the railway lines in proper condition, because, with the heavy trains and the high .s with which they traerel, it is essen i'that the roadbed be kept up to. matimdfn efficiency. The provision of the neceseaiy ply of ties is one of the problenrs' with which the tall ways have tb. d+3al, aili it is a Very 6erious.oi'ie. l%iglci' spin,.• $cations are provided,' and a °lrai'efui inspection Is ' necessary. - When • the' millions of ties used annually is 'con- sidered, and that each tie has its pro- portion of the load to ea s r, the nec- essity fbr this inspection is apparent.

Some of the ties arc sewed or hewed on top, bottom and sides, while others are sawed or hewed on top and bottom only. During regent years the Canadian railways have undertaken preserva- tive treatment of their ties, er•eosote "being largely used.
