BRITISH TAKE TRENCHES

PARIS, August 25-The British in the last few days have captured several Turkish positions and trenches on Galipol peninsula and took eight hundred prisoners. The fighting in that quarter continues to be struggle similar to that of the western front that IS fight where both sides are concealed The peninsula IS hardly twelve
 miles wide at its greatest width and this enables the Turks with comparatvey small force to man the trenches from sea to sea and so prevent ankng movements unless by water The landing of the British troops at Suva was such an attempt but the Turks have apparently placed strong forces along the shore of the gulf of SaroS an ticipation of such efforts.

ECCENTRIC SPARKLING

L is a sad and common experience to men
in motorboats, automobiles etc, to find
that something is wrong with the spark.
Often it is the case that when the spark
plug is taken out and tested in air it shows
up all right, and will ignite gasolcne poured
around it, but when put back into position
it will not work. This is puzzle to a great
many people today.
The reason lies in the simple fact that the
spark, when it takes place in the cylinder,
has to spark in compressed gas, and when
in the air it doesn't. 1t is we'll known
scientific fact that the pressure of the gas
determines how far spark will jump under
given voltage If the spark jumped a
quarter-inch in the open air and was placed
in a vessel with most of the air pumped
out, it would jump several inches; and on
the other hand, if placed in compressed air,
it would not Jump more than a fraction of
the quartcrinch. Of course the thing to do
IN the circumstances is to get new batteries,
and if SO situated that that is impossible, the
two little terminals OF the spark plug should
be pushed closer together Then the spark
will pass in the compressed gas inside the
cylinder
If explosion does not take place, then the
spark is probably SO small that il is wholly
immersed either in air or in the gaSolene
vapor, and to have an explosion it must be
immersed in a mixture of the two. The car
bureter should then be tinkered with The
probabilities are that part of the time ex-
plosions will take place, and will be sufficient
to keepup a forward motion at reduced speed.

cold waves and blizzards all over this coun-
try; but it is doubtful if any can equal
the tierceness of the great blizzard that
swept Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, and Min
nesota on January IL, 1888. The storm
swept down suddenly out of the northwest,
following very mild day and without any
warning whatsoever. Several hundred
lives were lost, and thousands of cattle per-
1shed. The wind blew at the rate of nearly
bO miles an hour accompanied by blind
ing snow. AT Helena, Montana, the tenn
perature fell so degrees in four and one-haf
hours. At Crete, Nebraska, the temperature
fell lS degrees in three minutes.
The most severe Eastern blizzard was
probably the famous one of February II,
to IL, 1899. This storm affected princi-
pally Virginia, Maryland, and the District
OF Columbia, region where mild winters
are a., the rule, and real billiards novelty.
The heaviest snowfall and coolest weather
ever known throughout this region were
then recorded. At Washington, D. c., the
lowest temperature was Is degrees below
zero, and the snow was between two and
three feet deep, and drifts were as high as
ten to fifteen feet in exposed places.
TNDIANOLA, Texas, was twice swept off
: the map; first by hurricane on Septem-
Der 15 1875, and the second time by a tor
nado on August 10, 1886.
These two damage-dealing kinds of storm
are greatly different in many ways; although
they both deal out death and destruction
in the same manner.
Tornadoes come suddenly, without warm
ing, and they occur in the Middle West
principally, the States of greatest freauence
being Illinois, Missouri, Iowa. Kansas, and
occasionally Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi,
Texas, and Southern Minnesota. lorna
does last only few minutes, and disappear
as suddenly and mysteriously as they begin.
They occur most often from four to five
thirty O'Clock in the afternoon, which is
generally the warmest time of day, in April,
May, and June. No tornado has ever oc-
CURED west of the one hundred and second
meridian, which is the boundary of Colorado
and Kansas.
Hurricanes occur from mid-August to
midOctober. They wreak their damage
on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts They give
plenty of warning of approach, and the
Weather Bureau always has time to send
out notices to shipping. The bureau gets
information of the approach of these storms
when they are far down in the West Indies
They generally follow one of two courses,
either up the Atlantic Coast, or along the
Gulf Coast and thence inland, where they
generally wane.
Galveston New Orleans, Mobile Charles
ton, and Savannah, in the order named, are
the cities that have suffered most from the
fury of these storms. Unlike the tornado,
the wind of the hurricane gradually in
creases in fury, and lasts at times for twelve
to twenty-four hours.

less than others. If all would fatten like
these, the entire drove would be ready
