If you find you are using an excessive amount It means | that there is a leak which is expensive, | or that the engine is sucking it up into | the combustion space, which means carbon and all the troubles which may follow.

This can be readily ob- tained three or four times smaller | than the silkworm’s thread, and has | also advantages in its strength and freedom from twist, In order to obtain the thread the the spider is carefully fixed on & minia- ture “rack,” and the thread, which at noment of issue from the body is | a viseld liquid, is made to adhere to | a winder, by turning which the desired (] | length of firm but elastic thread can | be procured, | Victory of Courage.

Height of Sea Waves. The records of average height in feet observed at sea are approximate- ly equal to half the velocity of the wind in statute miles per hour, For those occasions on which the wind has had as full opportunity as it ever en- joys of doing its work, direct propor- tionality still holds good, but the con- stant is higher, It has been found that seven-tenths best satisfies the | available observations between a strong breeze and a whole gale. ‘The same sitnple proportion, however, does | pot hold when dealing with the heights | corresponding to the. gentlest breezes. | The highest waves finally formed are those traveling at a velocity which is | equal, within the errar of observation, to tht of the wind—Bevoklya Rage.
