CYLINDER COMPRESSION
HOLDS FOR TWO WEEKS
Cadillac Car, Fortnight After Ship
ment, Starts on the Spark.

A remarkable instance of leng-sus-
tanned motor car cylinder compression
was brought to light not long ago ir,
Seattle, Wash, by N. s. Brigham, the
Cadillac dealer in that city.
Mr.. Brigham received a shipment of
1910 Cadillac cars, and when the first
one was run down from the freight
house platform, he took his seat and,
without preliminary cranking of the en-
CINE, started the car on the spark
alone. This was done by simply ignit-
ing the charge of gas, which had been
retained in the cylinder from the time
it left the Cadillac factory, at De-
troit, September "a. It arrived in Sc
attic, October s, having been en- route
two weeks to the day
1T is a common thing for owners to
start their cars on the spark after they
have been standing idle an hour or
two; but no instance in which the
motor has been started on the spark
after being dead for two full weeks
have ever been made public.
The fact that this Cadillac held
compression for a time of so great
length is undoubtedly due to the
methods of manufacture employed in
the great Cadillac plant It is well
known that the motor and all other
mechanism Of the Cadillac is con-
structed On a scale of measurement
of which the thousandth part of an
inch is the unit. Thus, there can not
be a deviation of the one-thousandth
of an inch from the stipulated size of
cylinder, piston or piston ring.
This perfect fit of the parts con-
trolling and directing the movements
of the gas in the cylinder is directly
responsible for the two weeks reten-
ton, in this Cadillac engine, of gas
compressed to the firing point.

RICH MAN WILL HAVE QUIET.

George Douglass Miller, a wealthy resident of New Haven, is building a wall, which in some places is 20 feet high, to inclose a plot of land 200 by 10 feet at the rear of the Skull and' Bones property in High street. On the plot surrounded by the wall Mr. Miller will erect villa in which he will live when in New Haven.
 He says that he intends to shut out all bqstle of the street and keep the eyes of the curious from know ing what he is doing The property IS at the rear of 1893 Chapel street, where Mr. Miller's only son died 25 years ago. Since his sons death Mr. Miller has travelled around the world four times alone, and says he cares more for seclusicn and quiet than anything else His wife and two daughters live on a 2,000-acre farm in western North Carolina, and he owns the largest island in tLe St. Lawrence, where he spends the summer months alone.

THE MOTOR CAR.

A satisfactory definition of the motor car is given in Golfers thus l: "The automobile is large iron and rubber contrivance for transforming gasoline into speed, luxury, excite ment and obituaries. It consists of a handsome leather upholstered car riage body mounted on fat rubber tired wheels and containing a giz- gard full of machinery suffering from various ailments. It is the speediest and most stylish form of transportation known. It has run 100 miles an hour and cost $1 1000 a minute. It can transport seven peo- pie from the front porch to the po- lice station, the bankruptcy court or the golden gates in less time than any other method"

He saw preparations being made for a feast. of which he was to be the piece de resistance and with com mendable presence of mind he asked the chief {''chef'?) if he did not think it would be as well if he tasted sample first The chief thought it an excellent suggestion and so the man held up his cork leg while a sample was cut from it.

Of the civil service so called-that is, the judicial and financial officials, there are only about eighty in all, but there is in addition a consider able foreign staff for forests, public works, and railroads, all of which are government property; and sev- eral thousand Europeans, nearly all English, live in two business centers, Colombo and Galle, or scattered over the country. Ceylon is probably the most happy and prosperous colony in Asia.
