Balloon vs.. Automobile.

Eight automobile enthusiasts have
formed a volunteer corps to be used
by the Government in time Of war for
carrying dispatches and bringing into
communication distant points not
reached by the railroads. OF late, TO
get themselves in training, they have
organized several balloon pursuits.
In these novel chases an aeronaut
starts skyward in balloon, carrying
some dummy dispatches, while at the
same time the automobiles start IN pur-
suit of the huge gas bag Oh terra

grafton of caribou within the memory
Of the Mount KatahGin residents oc-
Cured late Ia the fail of 1896, when a
herd Of thousands of caribou that had
attracted attention by their migration
through Labrador, Canada and New
Brunswick suddenly appeared in the
forests about the famous mountain.
All that winter the natives of the
region feasted on juicy reindeer steak,
but With. the first signs OF spring the
herd gathered together and left the
nelghborheod as suddenly as they
came, returning to their homes in bleak
and inhospitable Labrador. Two days
after the herd got under way there
was not a reindeer to be seen nor found
In the entire Mount Katahdin district,
nor have any been seen there since.
This propensity OF the reindeer sud.
denly to gather i'm large herds and
make long Journeys covering thousands
of miles is a phenomenon that has
long puzzled naturalists, and has never
been satisfactorily accounted for. Un-
like the bison, or buffalo, which animal
migrates north In summer and south
in winter, the reindeer has no state2
I.time nor season for migrating, nor.
so far as naturalists have been able to
discover, Is there any good reason OF
cause for such action on their part.

Oil on THE WATER.
Report on the Use OF Liquid Fuel Under
Marine Boilers.

Report on the Use OF Liquid Fuel Under
Marine Boilers.
The result Of experiments In burning
oil as fuel made by the Bureau OF
Steam Engineering, U. S. n, appears in
a recent report Of the Chief Of that
Department.. The conclusions reached
are as follows:
/. Oil can be burned in a very uni.
form manner.
9. The evaporative efficiency OF near.
ly every kind of oil, per pound OF CONF
bustible, is probably the same. Wine
the crude oil may he rich In hydro
carDons. it also contains sulphur; so
that after refining, the oil has probably.
the same calorlic value as the crude
product.
3. \ marine steam generator can be
forced to even as high degree with oil
as with coal.
+. Up to the present time no i'll ef-
fects have been shown upon the boiler:
5: The flremen are disposed to favor
oil, ard therefore no impsdiments Will
be met IN this respect.
G. The air requisite for combustion
should be heated, if possible, before en-
tering the furnace. Such heating un'
doubtedly assists the gaslfcation of the
oil product.
T. The oil should be heated, so that
il can be atomized more readily.
8. When using steam, higher pres
sures are undoubtedly more advan'
tageous than lower pressures, for atom
izing the oil. ....
8. Under heavy forced draft, partic'
ularly when using steam, 1t has not yet
been found possible to prevent SMOKE
issuing from the stack although all
connected with the tests made special
efforts to secure complete combustion;
10. The consumption of liquid fuel
probably cannot be forced to as great
an extent with steam as the atomizing
agent; as 1t can when compressed air ID
used for this purpose. This is probably
due to the fact that the air used for
atomizing purposes, after entering the
furnace; supplies oxygen, while in the
case Of steam the rarified Vapor dis
places air that Is needed to complete
the combustion. .. .. ....
II. The efficiency Of oil fuel plants
will be greatly dependent upon the gen.
eral character of the installation OF
auxiliaries and fittings; and therefore
the work should be entrusted only to
those who have given careful Study
to the matter and who have had ex'
tended experience In burning the crude
oil. The form of the burner will play
a very small part III increasing the
use of crude petroleum; for where the
burners are simple In design and are
constructed in accordance with scien-
tlfic principles, they will differ but lit
tie in efficiency. Consumers should see
/ to it, carefully, that they do not pur-
chase appliances that are untried, ana
have been designed by persons VINO
have had but limited experience IN
operating oil devices: .. ....-a.. II.

THE JULY SMART SET.


"The Metempsychosis OF che oS'
dens," by Edward S. Van Zile, the nov
elette with which the July number CT
The Smart Set opens, Is as humorous
piece of fiction as has recently ap-
peared, and for summer reading 1t Will
be found delightful to while away a
pleasant hour. The father Of a beauti-
fll young society girl, through the in
strumentality of an apparently harm
less Oriental curio which he possesses,
Is forced to assume for short time,
his daughters identity. The adven-
lures which befall them are ludicrous
h the extreme: There is laugh in ev-
cry line of the story.
The same issue is rich Id the num-
Der and variety Of short stories. Cy-
rus Townsend Brady contributes a
strong tale of the plains, entitled How
The Kid Went Over the Range"
James Gentleman oy Owen Oliver,
is a charming bit. Envoy Extraor-
binary and Minister enipotentiary,
by Guy Wetmore Carryl, is vivid and
dramatic. "The Fatter Calf" by Juliet
Wilbor Tompkins, is striking epis.
ode from the page OF q woman's life.
Other stories Of equal merit are:
aFayai. the Uuforgiving;" by Miriam
Michelson; Blue Blood" by G. B.
Burgin; cat the Years End" By Mar
tha Ffshel; "The Beautiful Woman's
Narrative" by the Baroness Won Hut

markably distinctive article under the
title, Break Heart and Make an Ac.
