Since the Dutch philosopher Leu.

the flea was sometimes preyed on by
the larvae Of a mite, it has been well
known that various small insects have
their external parasites. And a re

mosquitoes carry about mites in the

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was I'M
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
niZed that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra,
den Tour.
From the standpoint Of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis,
lance covered on the Glidden Tour
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient tc
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Sill more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi
sion of observers. named by those
who entered other contesting cars
Therefore, it would have been impos
