THE NoN-MFEorIvE SPARK
Technical Description of a Puzznng
 Problem.

All ignition pf1enom enon that has frequently proved somewhat of a nys- tery to the uninitiated Is how two or more plugs can spark simultaneously from single source of current.
 In the case of the modern magneto system, that is the four-cy1inder type, the effect cannot occur, the principle of operation ensuring that only one plug can receive current at any given time, a fact which is one of the minor advantages of the magneto.
 Although in the majority of i'm stances the extra sparks produced by multiple coil are harmless, they are potentially risky, inasmuch as in some circumstances the extra and unwant- ed spark may explode the charge in the cylinder which is just commencing it's compression strike, there being minus pressure in the cylinder, whilst the actual firing spark is performing it's normal function in a cylinder just starting dts firing stroke.
 It is not difficult to understand that with two forces opposing one another in this manner the crankshaft may be either broken or twisted. The precise reason for the extra sparks (there are generally two) is not readily followed by anyone who does not possess at least some elementary knowledge of electro magnetism. It can only be stat ed, more or less non-technically, that it is due to the 'dnhuence" of the working coil on the adjacent ones, ]. e.. the one to each side of 1t.
 The magnetic lines of force which are suddenly generated in the working coil leak across and thread themselves through the adjacent coils and by the same principle of induction which gen crates the hdgh-tension current in the working coil a similar current is gem erated in the non-working coils.
 These extra sparks, fortunately, as a rule, are feeble and their effect can therefore be neglected. They can, in fact, only be noticed when testing two or more plugs outside the cylinder; only subjected to atmospheric pres sure. Under. the normal working compression of the engine the extra current cannot jump across the gap of the sparkling plug, the compressed charge acting as an insulating med@. ttnn. On the other hand, 1t may con ceivably occur at the beginning of an inlet stroke and ignite the incoming mixture.
 The potential risk previously refer red to would be the greater in the event of the spark gap being very small. and this Is one good reason why the gaps should not be so small when multiple coil ignition is used as when magneto is used, that is to say, in- stead of the standard one-f1ftieth inch for magneto it ds safer to keep to one thirty-second or a trifIe less. It IS not generally known that the non-ef- fective or extra spark is intentionally a part of the principle in certain spe- cfa1 magneto system, notably in the two-cylinder magneto used for an en- zine with the cranks set at 180 de- grees. This enables the magneto to be designed without a distributor. The extra sparks occur at the end of one exhaust stroke and at the beginning of another-Mootr Print.

THREE POUND BABY MAY
 BE SAVED BY DOCTORS

Chicago, H., Nov. 21-Two physi- clans and three nurses of Michael Rees eHospita1 are making a concert ed fight for the life of the month-o son of MT. and Mrs. Orvil1e E. Bab- cock, of Lake Forest. The baby weighs three pounds. To save him a room has been fitted up as a special incubator, where the temperature is kept at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Oxygen is supplied through sterilized rubber tubes.
 The baby receives every few hours a few drops of modified milk. Elec- tric heaters radiate warmth directly upon the little body. Physicians in attendance have told Mrs. Babcock, who is a daughter of the late John R. Walsh, that her son has an excel lent chance to live and grow strong. The baby began to languish soon af- ter its birth.

THE LUNGS OF THE AUTO.

Some one has called the carburetor the lungs of the automobile. Certainly there is no more vital mechanism in a motor. car than the small device which breathes in the air and vaporized gasoline and feeds 1t to the engine in properly mixed proportions. Conse- quent1y, a cars efficiency depends very largely on the efficiency of the car buretor.
 On some 1914 cars will be found a new feature that adds materially to the efficiency of the carburetor. This is an electrical heating device which vaporizes the gasoline before the en- zine is started. This makes it possi- ble to start on lower grades of fuel than heretofore and will prove a great boon, particularly in cold weather.

TWO KINDS OF FOLKS.

While being satisfied with ones own
possessiOns-and things are often car
ried to the point where they are either
ludicrous or offensive-there are many
folk who would not only be a good deal
happier, but would amount to a good
deal more in the world, if they felt
more pride in their own achievements
and a greater satisfaction with and
contentment in their own possessions,
be it houses, lands, wives, husbands,
children or wearing apparel. We know
a farmer who thinks Neighbor Jones
farmstead is a whole lot better than
his own. If this is a fact it is because
this same opinion for some time and
has taken steps to bring this condition
about Before Browns place lit is the
first namedl is going to undergo much
improvement the owner, like Jones,
will have to have some conception Of
its possibilities and take definite steps
to carry these possibilities into effect
We know another man, a townsman.
who thinks his house lit is a four room
affair." is the best place there is in
town. He entertains the same notion
about his wife and children land he
can justly be proud of them. The
result is that in this home there are
harmony. good will. pride in the fam
lily name and. withal. happiness. Again,
the writer knows several women who
will spend all the way from ten to a
hundred dollars for coat or suit and
make life miserable for their dress
makers while they are being made, but
who, if they happen to see some other
women wearing a suit no prettier, no
better fitting and costing no more. but
of little different shade or cut, are
straightway miserable and dissatisfied
with their own outfits. This frame of
mind in man or woman is an unfortu-
nate one to have or cultivate. Some
times it is due to species of selfish
ness. but as often to focusing ones at
tention on things that are in measure
quite transient and nonessential.

Great Man Fond of Fruit.

No man ever welcomed the summer
fruit season more eagerly than DR..
Johnson. A voracious eater at any
time, his appetite for fruit was almost
limitless. He loved strawberries and
cream, and made point of visiting
friends who grew the berries when
they were at their best. Mrs. Thrale
says that he used often to eat seven
or eight peaches before breakfast, and
that frequently he lamented having
never had as much wall fruit as he
wished, save once. The exceptional
occasion was during a visit to Lord
Sandy's seat at Ombersley, when he
was suspected of clearing a whole
wall side

KILLING SPARROWS.

If the sparrows are getting to be
a good deal of a nuisance on the farm
there are several ways of getting rid
of them. Poisoned wheat is some
times used. but this plan has the
drawback of rendering likely the poi
soning of other fowl about the place.
Another plan that is excellent is a
trap consisting of a box open on one
side and five or six feet square and
about foot deep. One edge of this
should be propped up a short distance.
the support being so arranged that it
can be pulled away at a moments no.
tice by a string leading to the hand
of the watcher. who should be in
place of concealment The sparrows
are likely to be wary of this trap at
first. and for this reason it should be
left in position for several days to en-
courage them to go under it, Wheat
or chick feed should be scattered IN
der it several evenings just before the
birds go to roOst. On a later evening
when they are under it the trap may
be sprung. Another plan is to feed
the sparrows by scattering grain in
straight line from some good point of
concealment where one may get a
bead on a flock of the birds with a
shotgun loaded with fine bird shot.
Still another excellent method for pre-
venting an increase in the sparrow
tribe is the breaking up Of the nests
as fast as they are made. All of the
birds killed. except those poisoned,
are good eating even if it does take
good many of them to make stew.

A MUCH NEEDED LAW.

A federal law which will protect all
migratory wild fowl and useful insect
eating birds, such as the robin, which
spend the summer in northern states
and winters in the south, is now a fact.
The government in the law referred to
assumes control over these birds on the
same ground that it controls interstate
traffic and communication. The law
in question is one that has long been
needed to prevent the wanton sIaugh-
ter of our best song birds. and that 1t
is to be enforced will be matter of
congratulation on the part of all who
have any adequate conception of the
service which bird life renders to the
agricultural and horticultural interests
Of the country.
