Frequently an engine may run unsteady
or with more vibration than it should. This
is usually caused through the ignition point
position in each cylinder. This may be due
TO lack. Of adjustment in the tremblers Of
the coil. The best way to time tremblers
ON q multi-cyllnder coil is to hold all down
but one and run the engine on the cylinder
TO which the particular section of coil is con-
nected. Then let up one OF the other trem-
blers and press down the one which has pre-
viously worked. By carrying. this operation
through the whole series OF tremblers IL
will be noticed how ignition varies by the
speed at which the engine runs. Adjust

acid gas, and partly. 10 the effect of the high
temperature. which Is another very powerful
factor In this respect.
Since gases are increased by one volume
for every rise In temperature OF 273 degrees
Centigrade. under the same pressure, 1t Is
easy. Of course. 10 see that there Is a decided
din erence In temperature between the gas
which enters the engine from the carbureter
and that which leaves II by the exhaust valve.
The combination OF these two factors-the
the combustiop-causes the charge OF fuel
to expand In this way, provided that 1t was
not prevented by being confined or encoun-
tering resistance. II u cannot expand freely
II exerts a pressure In It's endeavor to do 80,
and this pressure depends upon the number
of volumes confined In the original space,
since the pressure Of q gas varies inversely
with its volume.

THE STARS AND CONSULTATIONS
Almost directly overhead CLOVIS the
beautiful Vega in the constellation
Lyra. In brightness IL Is above the
average of first magnitude stars, while
the brilliancy OF its blue-whlte rays Is
almost unrivalled. To appreciate the
color of Vega II should be examined
with glass. A good opera glass shows
ii well but, OF course, a telescope Is
better. In the telescope the disk OF
the star appears like core OF white
fire encircled with glare of bright
blue flame. IL the eye piece is put
little out of focus the splendor of
the display Is increased. When exam
lining Vega thus with glass It is very
interesting to turn from IL to its great
yellow white rival Arcturus which ap-
pears high ia the western part OF the
sky, In the constellion Bootes Aro-
turus is also very beautiful on account
OF the glare surrounding its disk IN the
telescope, but this glare. In striking
contrast to that of Vega, is OF a rich
golden red hue. In a word Vega re-
sembles diamond of the most re-
splendent blue-white tint, while Arc
turus is like great, deep-tinted to-
paz. Both are suns OF enormous mag
nitude, exceeding our sun NJ least q
thousand times I'm actual brightness.
Directly east of Vega lies the strik-
ing figure Of the Northern Gross In the
constellation CyRnus. The beam Of the
cross follows the current Of the MILKY
way. its head being marked by the
bright star Deneb. and Its foot by the
beautiful dout e-star Albrco, described
