In addition to mixing and vaporizing, the carhu,reter is fitted with a throttle valve -with which the amount of mixture allowed to enter the cylinder may be regulated.Inthis way the development of motor power is eentt•olled.

In this relation there is told an interesting story of the escape of 0110 Petru Cocan from Hungary, when, on ,account or the impending war, the decree had gone forth that no man between the ages of sixteen and fifty-two should leave the country without' a passport. Cocan, who was a Rumanian by birth and had lived in the United States, could not get a passport. He then went to the agent of a traueat- lentic lino and bought a ticket for the States, an the assurance that the agent world get him out of Hungary. Atter several days of suspense, Oocan, with three other fugitives, was sent to a place near the border, where they were met according to' agreement by a band of Rumanians disguised as gypsy musicians, four, -of whom carried huge bass viols. The backs wore removed from the viols, and in each there was a small seat. Cocan and his fellow fugitives 'took their places, the banks were fastened on the viols, and again the musicians set out for the border. All passed the guard' safely except Cotten. His bearer got into a dispute with a soldier• of the guard, the quarrel waxed violent, tate base viol Tell to the ground, and tate back cane off, with the result that Canon was landed in a ditch by the roadside. He was arrested and sent home. IIe tried the same trick again, but on a different road, and at a place ou the border far removed from the first attempt, This time he made his es- cape; but as the musicians were crossing the bonier, the soldiers or the guard demanded a tune, and Co - can endured the agony oil sitting in- side a bass viol while it was plgyod upon.

The greater number of our fires are in the hones, where little care is taken with matches, ashes, lighted cigarettes, and cigars, etc. The careless man at home is careless at work, and this carelessness is the root of our fire loss problem., To reduce our fire waste radical measures are necessary.

One of the peace -time uses of air- craft is for forest flre patrol. In the United States, experiments have been carried out in some of the Western states, under on arrangement between the Air Service and the Forest Ser- vice. These trials produced such pro- mising results in the prompt discovery and reporting of forest fires that a greatly enlarged programme for the current year is under consideration. Col. II. H. Arnold, of the U.S. Air Service, has presented to hr.'s Govern- ment a report recommending that an air patrol be inuagurated to cover all lands, Government, state and naivete, in western Wyoming, Montana, Ida- ho, Washington, Oregon and Califor- nia,- This would regnire five com- plete observation squadrons of 18 planes each, or 90 pltines, with pilots, observers and complete squadron equipment each plane to be equipped with radio sets for Bending location of fires discovered, and two planes in each squadron to be equipped with wireless telephone sets and cameras, Operators for wireless stations at bases and sub -bases, and the estab- lishment of pigeon lofts at bases and sub -bases would also be required. A resolution of the Western Forest- ry and Conservation Association points out that the use of airplanes to protect the nation's forests gives op- portunity for the training of pilots and observers, while serving a pur- pose which, in itself, fully justifies the expense iavolved. The experiments along this. line M Canada have been comparatively limited, being confined, -during the past summer, to 'two seaplanes loaned by the Dominion Government to the St. Maurice Forest Protective As- sociation. The Quebec Government has also do -operated by aiding the work with a cash grant. In Canada, the whole question of the Dominion Government's programme of air services is under consideration by the Air Board. As the possibilities and limitations of peace -time uses of aircraft have been by no means fully demonstrated, it is logical that the Dominion Government should take the lead, in co-operation with the pro- vinces, as to services of an essentially public character. Experimentation and .demonstration` are essential if this wonderful new development, re- sulting largely from the war, is to play its full part in the peace -time develop- meut of Canada. It Couldn't Ee Done. The man speeded up his car to see if he couldn't heat the train to the crossing. He couldn't. Another man st?uek a match to see if the gasoline tank In his garage was empty. It wasn't. Another man who insisted on lead- ing a bull by a rope thought that he could dodge the bull and climb the fence if the animal became furious. IIe couldn't; he was carried through the gate. Another man took it for granted that a dilapidated bridge would support hie :tractor. It wouldn't—his widow will vouch for the fact. A. woman took a spoonful out of an unlabeled bottle, supposing that she was taking Dough syrup. She wasn't —but her cough was stopped.

The Eskimo seems to defy all laws in this relation and to thrive. He eats until he M satisfied, aisd it takes much to satisfy him, if, indeed, he ever is satisfied. He eats as long as there is a shred of the feast before him. His capacity is limited only by the supply. The Eskimo, it further appears, can make no mistake in the manner of cooking his food for the very simple reason that he does not cook it. Nor, so far as the blubber or fat of the Arc- tic is concerned, is he worried about his manner of eating It. Indeed, he may be said not to eat it at all. He cuts it into long strips an inch wide and an inch thick and then lowers the strip down his throat as one might lower a rope into a well. Notwith- standing all this, the Eskimo does not suffer from indigestion. He can make a good meal off the flesh -and skin of the walrus, provision so hard and gritty that in cutting up the animal the'knife must be continually sharpen- ed. The teeth of a little Eskimo child will, it is said by those who know, meet in a bit of walrus skin as the teeth of one of our own children would meet in the flesh of an apple, al- though the hide of the walrus is from hall an inch to an inch in thickness and bears considerable resemblance to the.hide of an elephant. The child of the Arctic will bite it and digest it and never know what dyspepsia means.
