B is such that a very thin calling card
can be slipped between them.
This will remedy the trouble unless
the bottom of the push rod is held
from the cam by the adjusting de-
vice nut resting on the push rod guide
c, thus preventing it coming to the
cam when the space is a proper dis
lance between the push rod and the
valve stem. In this case the top Of the
guide should he dressed of until when
the push rod is at its lowest point
there will be a little space between the
nut e and the guide c. Loose or i'm
properly adjusted valves make more Of
a rattle than knock. and while this
may not seem to be doing any particn-
lar damage. 1t affects power and causes
the motor to overhead. In case the
valves should become slack enough 80
that the opening would let the burned
out charge out and the incoming charge
be fred at the usual time. 1t would
develop an ugly knock. This should
not be allowed to continue. as there is
danger Of forcing the cylinder from
the case or breaking the head out Of
the piston.
Moving Material by Dynamite.
In the removal by blasting Of a re-
enforced concrete bridge pier thirty
seven feet long. thirty feet wide at one
end and seventeen feet wide at the
other and sixteen feet thick. which had
fallen over on its side and was block
ing a river channel in Indiana. the dy-
Mantle al placed in a rather unusual
manner. says the Engineering News. In
half bushel market baskets mud was
laid on the bottom and sides; dynamite
was then placed on the bottom mud
and covered with more mud. The bas-
kets were then lowered against tne
concrete pier and the dynamite dis
charged. This method a successful
in pulverizing the concrete so that
piles could he driven through it and
new piers constructed N the site Of
the old ones.

An excellent cement for broken
dishes. glassware and. for emergency.
In mending a broken eyeglass ia made
of thick shellac. Carefully coat the
broken edges with the shellac and
then heat the article as much as 1t will
stand to dry the sheilac thoroughly.
Broken dishes put together with this
cement will hold indefinitely. as the
shellac will not absorb moisture.
Vents For Gear Cases.
Worm gear cases and. for that mat
ter. all gear cases should he provided
with vents. II this Is not done the

drive the air out through the hearings
The action repeats itself every time
the gearing is started from the cold
