ATTENTION TO REAR AXLE The two inost important items in the care of the rear axle unit are proper lubrication and correct ad- justment. The unit includes the dif- ferential,axle drafts and their hous- ing. The gears comprising the dif- ferential must turn continuously in oil, usually a very heavy kind, but too much oil should not be used, as the excess may work along the a.ele shafts to the brakes and cause slipp- ing. Grease should not be used in modern axles, as it will not reach all bearings or friction surfaces hi the unit, resulting in wear to the parts after long usage the gears become noisy and require readjustment. if the gears are in line the usual cane 1 of noise lies in the relation of the pinion,or gear which is secured to the driving shaft and the ring gearl which is mounted to the diffe-•ent'.ta' tIt Ibousing. Improper meshing of these gears produces noises, which is re- medied only by readjustment. Of course, noise will result if the tree shnfts are bent or if the genes and units as a whole are not, incorrect nlignr-eue, The remndv is to have this n'iselianwont cmmected in ord to nrr,..< t r-nr,. nr retni-t'V' nnr•tx. n. r;••,- tvl sol begrimes and nnss`hl^' lee nkage, IMPORTANT OF PLACEMENT OF SPARK CONTROL LEVER Proper placing of the spark con- trol lever in regard to engine :meet is important. If the spark is re- tarded at high engine speed tine en gine will not derive full power from each charge of fuel, will not resn'me as quickly to the accelerator and will cause carbon to collect in explos en chambers. If the smolt is arlvence,l at low rugine speeds there is danger of snapping connecting: rods, became ' there is not power and momentum enough at law speed to rnrry rail pi=ton over against the angle explos- ions roused by advanrerl shark, At least thew, is more eivtnce of the engine stalling when atten'rt is meet. to neceler'ote in this en'irl,tinn, oriel) pistoe +reins. t' fini<h rmm�r'nx?inn stroke against the pressure of ex- plosions which nre taking place too soon.

If the engine is running very slow the explosion will be too powerful, .forcing the pistons back down the cylinders and stopping the engine's operation. It is at the point where both forces are nearly equal that connecting rods break. A battery dhould never be allowed to reach a dead condition. This will injure the plates inside. A simple foot rest installed to fit the hall of the foot will prove ad- vantageous in operating a sensitive foot accelerator. If the car is not getting the cor- rect amount of gas, see that the air vent in the tank camp is open and free from dust and dirt. In order to prevent oil dilution and fouling of spark plugs, use the choke as moderately and as briefly as po,- sible in cold weather. It is useless to drive with heaelighr3 in a fog. They cut down visibility through excessive reflection of light from the mist suspended in the air. Lower each window about half an inch to keep them from steaming when driving In a hard rain. This will insure proper ventilation and a cleat• vision for safe driving. Fishing For Dollars Are you satiefl d with the catch? Are youuaingthe best bait ?

Scheduled Trips on Passenger Lines Three Times as Fast as by Hail. At nine in the morning, not tong ago, a San Franeiscc business man hurried down the gangplank of a lin- er just docked in New York, He Was racing home from abroad to the bed- side 00 a close relative, critically 111. Twelve -fifteen, and he 5505 00 a mall 'plane leaving New Brunswick, N.J. And at four -thirty the next afternoon he was 1n San leranclseo, having made, 1n searcely more than a day, a trip that takes four days by the fast- est trams. That was 00 specially arranged race against time --hitt the regular schedule, seven days a week, of two of the twenty or more air passenger lines operating to -day in the United States. Other time -tabled journeys by air are as speedy; and laet year more than 0,000 p, rcu;ns saved time and money by travelling the air way. Here are typical examples. From Seattle to San Francisco is an after- noon, overnight, and all -day trip on the "Cascade," crack trait of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The rail trip costs $33, exclusive of extra fare required on this twenty -- eight - hour• train. For $55 you can hoard a West Coast Air Transport cabin airplane at Seattle, and arrive in San Fran- cisco in less than Mehl hours after a trip of unparalleled scenic gran- deur. Another line, the Pacific Air Transport, duplicate-( the trip and serves a buffet meal en route. Arizona, l '1 to Timm, At �o n Los Angeles ge. s an $18,50 overnight or all -day trip by train across miles of burning coun- try. Six -passenger Fokker mono- planes of the Aero Corporation of California make the journey in six hours at a fare of $40. ince the Colonial tinsum In the east Air Transport adds to its regular New York -Boston mail route Fairchild cabin monoplones for passengers, It charges $25 for the three -and -a -half hour voyage which would cost you eight dollars, plus extra fare, by a five-hour train. From a thorough analysis of ex- amples such as these, from every part of the country, several outstanding facts about air travel are apparent, writes George Lee Dowd, Jr., in the Popular Science Monthly. In general, it is nearly three times as fast as rail travel, and costs about two and a half times as much. Short air trips are as practical as long ones; and every Important MP - ping point along a through airline has feeders" or local connecting lines that serve it. PUZZLES STRANGERS. Names of Lima Streets Have Many Peculiar Designations. A stranger who tries to find his way around Lima, Peru, immediately gets lost. Every block down town has a dif- ferent name, and there Is an addi- tional name for each street. Further- more, when the city was renumbered some years ago, many houses retain- ed the old numbers and simply add- ed new and different ones. In a list of street sanies ten times as long as that of the ordinary city of 250,000, Lints has many peculiar designations, dating from colonial days. There is one block coiled "Little Fishes," where Riese used to be sold; another "The Divorcees," where those ladies apparently lived in this highly reliutous town, and "The Soul 00 Gaspar." Almost all the stints are repre- sented. There is one "Drugstore of St. Peter," and a "Coach -house of St. Sebastian," The animal kinedont has one -block streets named "rhe Lions," "The Tiger," "Buzzards," and "Little Buz- zards," not to 'smitten Duck, Roue - ter, Cat, and Mice streets. Among plants there Lire blocks named for Oranges, Pomegranates, Limes, Lettuce, and Watermelons, Recalling old market days, we find streets named for Button Sellers, Swordsmiths, Scribes, Dyers and the Buttery. There must have been many unfortunates then, because the block names include the Helpless, Barefoot- ed, Afnicted; also hags, Bitterness and Charity. 000 can go from the Street of the Poor to Money street; from Health to the Little CemeterY, and back again to the Miracle. "Matamoros" block means "he kills Moors," and "Mata Siete," an- other, is "he kills se'•en." Black -Eyed White Rats. The birth of an entirely new spe- cies of white rats is reported from Sauvagnat, near the Puy -de -Dome, in Central France. Two specimens were found some time ago by M. Lillon, a professor, but they died soon after capture, and his claims for their orig- inality were disputed. M. Lillon cap- tured a third specimen, however, re- cently, and It is now alive and thriving. Witte rats, according to all laws of natural history, should have red eyes. But the white rats found at Suavagnat have black eyes, and are closely akin to the ordinary grey rat. The existing specimen is not an al- bino, and must therefore belong to a new species, The interest of the discovery is the sudden appearance in the wild state of a new animal form. It 1s taken to be a mutation of a species, and not a gradual transformation, and thus fur- nishes a new law for the discussion of the evolution of animal epodes. Moro Powerful Still.

Premier Brownlee met a number of representatives of the industry in this province the other day and the subject was opened up in a preliminary way.

Nell Gwynne's house in Shepherd's Market, Mayfair, London, is coming down- The names suggest a pleasant rustic atmosphere, but the market was not called after the Corydons of an earlier day, but atter one Shep- herd or Sheppard, who owned the ground on which the May Fair was held, observes a Morning Post writer. That was a lively gathering, and it grew more riotous with the years, until, in the reign of George I., after it had been presented by the grand jury of Middlesex for four seccessive years as a public seamed, it was fin- ally suppressed. Its end was largely doe to the Earl of Coventry: who dwelt near by in Piccadilly, and for whom its sixteen days of merrymak- ing proved too much to endure. Another scandal of Mayfair was its marriages, which rivalled those of the Fleet. There Dr, George 1301111, a drunken Marson, made a fortune by celebrating matrresees with privacy and despatch, and ricin and poor were among= his clients until the law step- ped in and made clamctesline mar- riages illegal.

Not content with possessing the only gold flute in the world, Prof. D. C. Miller, of Cleveland, proposes to make one entirely of the more pre- cious metal, platduunr. Such a Auto would probably be the most expen- sive musical instrument in the world. It is its probable tonal quality, however, that makes the platinum flute so desirable in Prof. Miller's eyes, Ile has invented a unique de- vice, the "phonodolk," by which he produces waving lines of light on a screen, showing the tones produced by musical instruments of different densities. His gold flute, foe example, produced an entirely new set or tones, and he believes that platinum, being denser than gold would give still an- other tone quality. Liverponl's Fallen Soldiers.
