Removing Carbon From Motors,

An efficient carbon remover is said
to he equal parts Of wood alcohol and
carbon disulphide. with which is mix.
ed a small quantity Of lubricating oil.
says the Automobile Dealer and Re-
pairer.
1t is much more active without the
oil, and In cases where the carbon de-
posit is heavy or Of long standing the
oil should he omitted. After using this
mixture. which should be kept away
from fire, great care must he exercised
to lubricate the engine thoroughly be-
fore it is used. Carbon disulphide is a
natural carbon solvent and absolutely
removes all traces of IT. After using
the above mixture it is sometimes diff
fcult to start the engine until all
traces Of the remover have been remov-
ed and a film Of oil secured about pis-
ton and rings. especially If the latter
are somewhat worn Every part Of
the engine on which the remover is
used is as clean as though just ma
chined.

These holes are covered with pieces Of
vanished metal netting to prevent the
entrance Of vinegar flies.
The manufacture Of vinegar from
grapes has two ~stages-irst the alco-
holic fermentation, by which the sugar
is changed into alcohol and carbonic
acid gas; second, the acetic fermenta-
ton, in which the alcohol is changed
into acetic acid.
After arranging the cask on blocks,
as shown in the illustration, from two
to three gallons of good vinegar are
placed in the cask through the funnel
A. This amount represents 10 per
cent Of the wine to be fermented. All
the grape Juice must first be convert
ed into wine and then heated to s. or
30 degrees F. 1t Is poured into the
cask in quantities of one-fourth or one
third Of the total amount to be fer
mented at intervals Of one week-that

ten gallons the second week and the
final ten gallons the third week. The
last addition of wine must fill the cask
almost to the level Of the ventilator F..
Thereupon the wine-vinegar mixture
must remain at perfect rest: otherwise
the acetic acid bacteria which produce
the vinegar will sink to the bottom
and become inert, as far as vinegar
production is concerned.
When the wine has been converted
into vinegar it is drawn of through a
spigot placed In the opening previous

process takes anywhere from one to
three months. depending entirely on
