Tho Turkish MangaI.

In most of the houses in Constanti nople as well as in other cities of Fur. key heating in winter is done by means of the 50 called ''mangal" This con- sists principally of receptacle for burning charcoal. A mangal may be nothing else than such simple brass or iron receptacle or may be quite an artistic and expensive article of most rare and valuable workmanship. The charcoal is first thoroughly burned through, and when 1t no longer emits any flame or odor the mangal is brought into the room for purposes of heating. Sometimes 1t happens that proper attention is not paid to the burning charcoal, with not infrequent fatal results.

Forco Exorted by tho Heart.

The force exerted by the heart equals 12O tons lifted one foot In other words. the work of the heart is equiv alent to raising its own weight 10000 feet in one hour. A strong man can raise himself but 1000 feet in an hour. This enormous force. if exerted by the heart through fixed rigid pipe, would shoot the blood along with each jerk at rate of 200 feet second. How ever, the arteries. being elastic. are distended by the jerk or beat of the heart, and when the heart pauses after the beat the contraction of the arteries sends the blood along In steady non Intermittent flow, which averages about ono foot second.

Snake Worship.

Python worship or the worship Of snake gods is still practiced in parts of the west coast of Africa. In Da- honey and Ashanti there are temples where pythons are kept to receive the adoration of the people. The snakes are not confined to the precincts of the temples. Small holes are left in the inclosing wall, through which they pass and sometimes make themselves very much at home in the houses of the people. When stray snake is found word is sent to the temple, the priests come and with many apologies to his snakeship pick him up and car. ry him back home

A snakes temperature is higher in summer than in winter. the average being S2 de- grees. A birds average temperature is 1O7 The average temperature of the mammals is 101 degrees

ABOUT GASOLINE TANKS.
Pressure Feed Tanks Can Be Securely
Guarded Against Accidents.

One of the disadvantages of a pres
sure feed gasoline tank under the
chassis is the danger of it being
pierced by a collision or by a flying
stone thrown up by the wheels of the
vehicle itself. There are a number of
preventives in general use. Some
firms place a stout steel bar across the
frame to the rear of the tank, thus
preventing it being hit by any vehicle
in the rear; number of laths held to-
gether by strap are sometimes en-
ployed, and large sheet of mating is
not infrequently seen. This latter is
not to be recommended. 1t is easy to
spill gasoline. which is of course.
sucked up by the mat, and should a
light reach it a short time after Seri-
Gus flareup would result. Some
European chauffeurs surround their
tank with 4 sheet of fine Wire gauze,
which effectively keeps off road pro-
ieCtionS and does not retain gasoline.
If transverse metal bar is used in
conjunction with this all danger of the
tank being pierced is removed.
Should the pressure feed system
break down. either owing to the tank
being pierced or owing to one of the
air pipes breaking, a temporary RENE
dy can be obtained as follows. Discon-
meet the main feed pipe to the car
bureter and replace it by rubber
tube about yard long leading from
the carhureter to the drivers seat. If
necessary hole could be bored in the
footboard. care should of course be
taken to keep the tube away from the
moving parts. A curved piece Of
metal piping is attached to the end of
the rubber tube and the long end put
into a tin of gasoline. The can may be
attached to the dashboard. and as re-
liable a flow of gasoline is obtained as
if the regular fuel feeding equipment
were still continuing to perform its
task as usual

ertS appears, and it will have to be a

field we have Burgess. who played
with Pressure Isle last year. Bouchard,

been filed as yet. The above gives ten
