 The little Parisian motor 'busses- one of which recently plunged into the Seine--are now characteristic feature of the crowded streets of the French capital. With the possible exception of the motor taxicabs, they are the fastest vehicles in Paris. Their drivers are astonishingly adept in picking out route even in the busiest thoroughfares
 It has been thought that the great field for United States car builders in the export trade was in Canada and in England and European countries. The manufacturers, however, appear parts of the world than in Europe, for, during the first eight months of this year, the exports of American cars to South America exceede in value those to either France, Ger many or Italy. and the exports to British Oceania were not far behind those to the United Kingdom.
 If deep rings or grooves are found on the faces of valves or seats, in or der to make them tight it will prob ably be necessary to use special valve re-Setting tool. If the valve is not continually lifted from its seat during the operation of grinding such rings are likely to be formed. Light rings may be removed by continued grinding. using fine emery or one of the common grinding compounds and finishing with crocus powder.
 The New York Fire Department is shortly to have added to it mon- ster self-propelled pumping engine. which will make up to forty miles an hour and throw seven hundred gall Ions of water per minute. The en- zine is about eighteen feet long, with a wheelbase of 146 inches and tread of more than sixty inches. The en- zine, complete, weighs nearly seven tons, and runs on forty two-inch wheels, with solid rubber tires.
 The coming of the self-starter was not unlike that of the pneumatic tire. The tire had been in use for years be- fore it was generally adopted. When the public was ready for it, every body wanted it. It is questionable what led to the general taking up of the self-starter at this particu- lar season. With some of the com panies it was a case of adding some thing by way of extra equipment for the new model Some concerns did not drop the price of the 1911 line for 1912, while others raised it. Not much could be done by adding extra and so the self-starter was looked upon as 8, possibility.
 When it is considered that it is generally accepted in steam engineer ing a. coating 1-4 inch thick on the inside of the boiler tubes neceSsitates an increase of about 50 per cent. in the heat supplied to produce the same amount of steam, the effect of excessive coatings of carbon on the walls of gasoline motor cylinders can be appreciated. The carbon pre- vents the heat from readily reaching the water jacket, and while at first it may tend to increase the power to an extent it eventually causes pre- ignition through retaining too great a proportion of the heat generated on the power strokes.

NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT.
(Hartford Courant.)


 The interesting report on taxation made to Governor Baldwin by the delegates from this state was publish ed yesterday, and it's most significant point was it's condemnation of the present methods, so-called, of 1evytng assessments. The gentle terms 'un- systematic, antiquated and unequal ' are used, and properly, to designate the way the thing is now done. We had an amazing illustration here in Hartford recently in the prices paid as compared with the values assess ed on properties taken for the new bridge approach the cost averaging about seven ntimes the assessment. It seems now that the defense of these payments is found in the fact that the owners were able to prove the value of what they sold. It is asserted by competent authority that the cost, apart from the expense of delay, would have actually been greater, if condemnation proceedings had been undertaken. Just as far as this goes it condemns the assessed valua- tions. If the owner of a property assessed at say s5,00O, is able to dem-- onstrate that it yields a good return on $40,0O0, then he is justified in ask ing s40.O00 for it. But manifestly there is defect in the method of as- sessing the valaue. It is rather with the methods than with the Individual assessors that the trouble lies. But on the face of it it is plain that there is som mething wrong somewhere.
