The complete success of the new
fuel while IN the 2650.mile public
test and the advantages gained
through it's use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sen to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero.
sene. n coal OIL as fuel instead Of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splcndidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards Cheapncss, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
or per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly. the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour. the White IA the only car per.
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part Of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the trir
through the ter States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
chcaply obtainable. Finally, the

Pests Worried by Pests.

Since the Dutch philosopher Leu.
wenhoek discovered that the pupa of
the flea was sometimes preycd on by
the larvae of a mite. it has been well
known that various small insects have
their external parasites. And a re-
cent communication to the Complies
Rendus Of the Biological society OF
Paris by NJ. Hruyant, shows that many
mosquitoes carry about mites in the
larval stage. Those described belong
to four different genera. They prob.
ably feed on the integumentary
structures of the mosquitoes.

A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer Is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust.
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice

From the standpoint Of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have

Kansas City, was 2G50 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses. if such had

the fact that the car was at all times
